For instructions on installing the tamper switch, see the Multi-Purpose Housing Installation 
Instructions (Part No. 466-1959).

See the “Specifications” section for transformer requirements. Connect the AC transformer 
leads to the outer two terminals of the 5-terminal block.  These terminals are marked 
“16VAC”. A 12 VDC lead acid battery, such as the Panasonic LCR12V1.3P, may be 
installed as a backup power source. Connect the backup battery to the spade lugs.

The repeater requires an initial configuration, via personal computer, before enrollment of 
sensors may take place.  The Node Number, Default Sensor Supervisory Timeout, and other 
constants are set during this configuration.  Configuration is required regardless of whether 
the enrollment of sensors is to be done with the PC or the DIP switches.

Sensors may be enrolled into the repeater by either the PC method or the DIP switch 
method.  The only difference lies in the method of putting the repeater in enrollment mode 
and verifying the successful enrollment of a sensor.  In the PC method, the computer inter-
face is used for control and feedback.  In the DIP switch method, the switches are used for 
control (see Table 1) and the red LED is used for feedback (see Table 3).

1. Put the repeater in enrollment mode via the PC or the DIP switches.

2. Send an enrollment packet from the desired sensor.  The method for sending the enroll-

ment packet varies depending on the type of sensor; see the installation instructions for 
each sensor for more information.

3. Verify that the enrollment packet was received by the repeater and that the sensor was 

enrolled, either through the PC interface or via the red LED.

4. Repeat until all sensors have been enrolled.

Sensors may be deleted from the repeater by either the PC method or the DIP switch 
method.

With the PC method, the desired sensors are deleted using the PC interface.  The repeater is 
updated via the USB connection.  There is no need to transmit with the sensor.  See the doc-
umentation for the PC software for more information.

With the DIP switch method, the switches are used to put the repeater in one of two delete 
modes (see Table 1).  This allows the user to either delete individual sensors or delete all 
sensors.  The red LED is used for confirmation (see Table 3).

1. Put the repeater in individual delete mode via the DIP switches.

2. Send an enrollment packet from the desired sensor (the “enrollment” packet is used for 

both deletion as well as enrollment).  The method for sending the enrollment packet 
varies depending on the type of sensor; see the installation instructions for each sensor 
for more information.

3. Verify that the packet was received by the repeater and that the sensor was deleted by 

watching for a long flash on the red LED.

There is a risk of explosion if an incorrect type of battery is installed. Observe 
polarity when installing a new battery. Installing the battery backward may 
cause damage to the repeater. Dispose of used batteries according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions and local government authorities.
