Summary
The Node Repeater reduces wireless traffic and extends the range of GE Interlogix wireless sys-
tems.  It receives signals from GE Interlogix 319.5MHz sensors, then retransmits them if neces-
sary.  The Node Repeater incorporates a 900MHz transmitter for increased range.
The Repeater allows enrollment of up to 128 sensors.  Only enrolled sensors are monitored and 
repeated.  Sensors are enrolled into the Node Repeater using either a personal computer interface 
or a pair of on-board DIP switches.
Power is supplied to the Node Repeater via a 16.5VAC Class 2 transformer.  A 12V lead acid 
battery provides backup power.
Repeater Features:
Regular supervisory reports to the panel
A tamper switch that causes an alarm transmission if the cover is removed.
A tamper switch that causes an alarm transmission if the unit is removed from the 
wall.
Antenna tamper monitoring, causing an alarm transmission if the antennas are cut.
Dual receive antennas, which provides improved reception through spatial 
diversity.
Receiver jam detection, with an alarm transmission if jam is detected.
Sensor enrollment using either a PC or DIP switch interface.
Support for a rechargeable lead acid backup battery.
Battery monitoring, with an alarm transmission if the battery is low.
AC power monitoring, with an alarm transmission if the power has failed for 
more than 15 minutes.
Encryption of sensitive data.
