ADEMCO 8DL6RPTA Wireless Repeater User Guide

The SiXRPTRA is an RF receiver and a transmitter and is intended to extend the indoor range of SiX series devices. The SiXRPTRA receives alarm, status, and control messages from SiX series devices, and forwards these messages to control panel. The control then responds accordingly (arm/disarm the system, initiate an alarm, etc.).

FEATURES

• Transmits its own status, including wall and case tamper, AC loss, low battery, and RF Jam.
• Indicates RF Jam, AC/Battery Status, and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) using LED’s.
• RSSI indicates the signal condition between the repeater and the controller.
• Provides a 24-hour backup battery.
• ETL Listed to meet UL standards

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• The SiXRPTRA module uses a 5VDC power supply to charge the battery.

• Power Supply Distance table:
  Wire Gauge| Wire Length
  ---|---
  18| Up to 50 feet (15m)
  20| Up to 33 feet (10m)
  22| Up to 20 feet (6m)

• If the voltage drops to 3.6VDC a low battery will occur.
  NOTE: Anything lower than 2.6VDC, it is incapable of charging the battery; it must be replaced

• Conduct the SiX Auto System Check (see controller’s instructions) to verify adequate signal strength, relocate if necessary.

• The SIXRPTRA is designed to operate 200 plus feet through 3 walls of wood, aluminum and dry wall construction.

COMPATIBILITY (REPEATER READY SYSTEM)

• All sensors (including keyfobs) connected to the Controller should have Firmware Release #4 or greater. Sensors that are “Repeater Ready” will have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”
• The Controller should have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”

NOTES:

• If controller’s firmware is less than that described above, the Controller must be updated. Either by firmware update or full controller replacement.
• If the revision of the sensors are less than 4 (i.e. pre-existing sensors), the Controller must be updated to update the firmware in the sensors.

INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH AN EXISTING CONTROLLER AND SENSORS

1. Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA.
2. Enroll the SiXRPTRA. See “Enrolling” section below.
3. Walk the SiXRPTRA away from the controller in the direction in which the sensor(s) are not communicating with the controller. NOTE: Perform this step without the front cover installed to monitor the RSSI.
4. The SiXRPTRA verifies the signal strength between the controller and SiXRPTRA every five seconds. The RSSI LED will change from Red to Amber (Green means you are within range) after 30 seconds. Amber LED tells you this is the furthest from the controller you can mount the SiXRPTRA.
5. Perform “SiX Auto System Check” from MobileTech so the Controller requests signal strength from all sensors. Once a sensor has joined the SiXRPTRA the signal strength should be at least -75dBm.
6. MobileTech or the Controller can tell you which the sensor is connected. On the controller go to zones to determine which it is connected to. Example: P800 represents the controller and R820 to R821 zones represents the SiXRPTRA. If sensors are not connected to the SiXRPTRA and connected to the controller and the signal strength is less than -75dBm, then the sensor has not connected to the repeater or it is still too far away from the controller/SiXRPTRA. If sensor signal strength is too weak then the controller can send a “SiX Network Sync” only to those sensors using MobileTech.
7. Perform a Sensor Walk Test to verify sensors are communicating through the SiXRPTRA or directly to the Controller. NOTE: Make sure all doors/windows are closed before entering Walk Test.

INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH A NEW CONTROLLER AND SENSORS INSTALLATION

1. Follow step two through four above.
2. Move the sensors to their predetermined mounting location.
3. Successfully enroll all sensors.
4. Follow step five through seven above to determine optimal repeater location.

MOUNTING

NOTE: for best results mount the SiXRPTRA as high as possible, keeping it away from metal objects.

1. Select a mounting position for the module.
   NOTE: DO NOT mount on or inside a metal enclosure/object. Or, near Wi-Fi Routers, Microwave Oven and other interfering devices. Maintain at least 10 feet distance.
   Do Not Connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

2. Attach to the wall using the supplied screws.

3. Install the center screw to secure the back tamper to the wall.

4. Ensure the wiring is complete. Use cable ties as necessary to secure wiring.

5. Plug the power supply into an un-switched outlet and secure with screw.

6. Attach the backup battery

ENROLLING

You must enroll the device in the control. SIXRPTRA will attempt to auto enroll upon power up, if it times out you can press and release the tamper to reinitiate the enrollment process or remove and reconnect AC power.

NOTE: Once enrolled in a system, the SiXRPTRA cannot be used with another Controller until it is removed from the current controller. See the Controller’s instructions for details.
Refer to the LED Status Table for the operation of the LED’s during enrollment.
Keep near the Controller until all three LED’s are solid green.

NOTE: For Indoor Use Only

NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

24-HOUR ENROLLMENT DELETION AND DEFAULT

If the device is enrolled in a panel different than the intended panel, and you are unable to delete it from the unintended panel, default the device to factory default setting:

1. Open the cover and verify device is powered on.
2. Press the tamper for ½ second, release for ½ second and repeat four more times. (for a total of five).
3. All three LED’s rapidly flash and the SiXRPTRA defaults, leaving only the Power LED on.
   This procedure is available for 24 hours after enrollment with a panel and the device remains powered (battery installed).

NOTE: If all LED’s light solid red for 5 seconds, then you are passed the 24-hour window

SUPERVISION
The SiXRPTRA reports AC loss and RF jam conditions, which displays a trouble on the Controller’s keypad(s). This prevents either condition from causing an alarm when the Controller is armed.

TAMPER/LOW BATTERY REPORTING
The SiXRPTRA reports this condition to the Controller. If a low battery or tamper condition exists, a peripheral trouble shows a trouble on the Controller.

NOTE: If an actual low battery condition is reported, it takes up to 12 hours after AC power is restored for the low battery restore message to be sent (requires 12 hours for fully recharged battery).

IMPORTANT: The first battery test occurs 1-hour after power up. To quickly verify a good backup battery, unplug and then plug back in the power supply; the system will perform a battery test within 1-minute. Also, the controller does not annunciate low battery trouble for the first 24 hours to all the battery to charge.
