Climax Technology RP-29 Wireless Repeater User Manual

• Please do not cross-learn the Repeaters, e.g. Learning Repeater A into Repeater B and
  learning Repeater B into Repeater A.

• All repeaters will have to be learnt into the Control Panel.

Step 3 When the learning is complete, slide DIP Switch 1 of Repeater B to the Off position.
Repeater B will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will turn off as Repeater B returns to
Normal Mode.

Learning Device into Repeater

• Step 1 Under Normal Mode, slide DIP Switch 1 to the On position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will flash slowly (1 flash every 2 seconds).
• Step 2 Please refer to the device manuals on how to send learn code from the devices.
  For PIR Camera, please press the test button once to send a learn code to the Repeater.

If the Repeater receives a learn code from a new device, it will emit 1 long beep and the Blue LED will light up for 1 second to indicate successful learning.

If the Repeater receives a learn code from a device already learnt into the Repeater, it will emit 2 beeps and the Blue LED will light up for 1 second.

A maximum of 60 devices (including repeaters) can be learnt into the Repeater, and up to 8 PIR cameras are supported. If the user attempts to learn in a 61st device, the Repeater will emit 4 beeps.

< NOTE>

• If multiple repeaters are used, please only learn devices into the Repeater(s) closest to the
  operation areas of the devices.

• All the devices learnt into the Repeater must also be learnt into the Control Panel.

Step 3 When the learning is complete, slide DIP Switch 1 to the Off position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep, the Yellow LED will turn off as the Repeater returns to Normal Mode.

Walk Test Mode

Learnt-in Control Panel or learnt-in devices can check for its signal range with the Repeater if the Repeater enters Walk Test Mode.

• Step 1 Under Normal Mode, slide DIP Switch 2 to the On position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will flash (1 flash every second).

• Step 2 When the Repeater receives signals from the Control Panel or the learnt-in devices, it will emit a long beep and the Blue LED will light up for 1 second. The signal is then
  retransmitted as the Red LED lights up for 1 second.

• Step 3 To exit Walk Test Mode, slide DIP Switch 2 to the Off position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will turn off.

Clear Mode (Factory Reset)

Clear the previously programmed memory and reset the Repeater to Factory Default

• Step 1 Under Normal Mode, slide DIP Switch 3 to the On position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will light up.
• Step 2 Press and hold the Test button for 5 seconds. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep to indicate all learnt-in devices and Control Panel are cleared from the Repeater.
• Step 3 To exit Clear Mode, slide DIP Switch 3 to the Off position. The Repeater will emit 1 long beep and the Yellow LED will turn off.

< NOTE>

• Whenever the Repeater is removed from the Control Panel, it should be put to factory reset
  as well to clear its Control Panel memory.

Operation

If the Repeater receives a signal from the Control Panel (e.g. a command), the signal is
retransmitted to the corresponding device(s) from the Repeater. The transmission LEDs will light up accordingly.

If the Repeater receives signal from a device (e.g. an alarm signal), the signal is retransmitted to the Control Panel from the Repeater. The transmission LEDs will light up accordingly.

Recommendations

It is strongly suggested to keep a distance between each repeater and/or Main Control Panel to
avoid cross signaling.

If a particular device is within an acceptable range for Control Panel to receive its transmission
signal, it is strongly recommended to learn the device into the Control Panel directly instead of into the Repeater.

When cascading repeaters to form a transmission relay, it is strongly recommended to link not more than 2 layers of repeaters.

< NOTE>

• For devices that are directly controlled by the Panel to turn on/turn off, e.g. power switches,
  power meter switches, valve controllers, Roller Shutter Controls, or Input and Output Switches, please link only one layer of repeater(s).

• For keypad, it is also recommended to link only one layer of repeater(s).

Multiple Repeaters

If multiple repeaters are used, please follow the guidelines below for the optimum performance:

1. When linking repeaters to form a transmission replay, it is recommended to link not more than two layers of repeaters.
From the example below (Device to B to A to Control Panel), Repeater A, Repeater B, and the Device all need to be learned into the Control Panel.
The Device needs to be learned into its closest repeater (Repeated B). Repeater B needs to be learned into Repeater A. (Do not learn Repeater A into Repeater B.)

Example:

2. If a device is located between the RF coverage of multiple repeaters and the Control
Panel:
Example 1:

From the displayed diagram, the device is located between the RF coverage areas of Repeater B and C. Users can choose to learn the device into Repeater B only, learn into Repeater C only, or learn into both Repeaters B and C.

It is recommended to learn the device into Repeater B only (and not to Repeater C) to reduce signal traffic.

< NOTE>

• For the above system, Repeater C is also learnt into Repeater A or B or both so the signals from Repeater C can be relayed to the Control Panel through Repeater A or B, or either.

Example 2:

From the displayed diagram, the device is located between the RF coverage areas of Repeater A, B and C. Users can choose to learn the device into Repeater A only, learn into Repeater B only, learn into Repeater C only, or learn into Repeaters A, B and C. It is recommended to learn the device into Repeater A only or Repeater B only (and not to Repeater C) to reduce signal traffic.

< NOTE>

• For the above system, Repeater C is also learnt into Repeater A or B or both so the signals from Repeater C can be relayed to the Control Panel through Repeater A or B, or either.

3. Typically, most devices stay in the same RF coverage area. For the exceptions such as a Remote Controller, please learn the device into all Repeaters (and Control Panel) of the system.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.

interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
