    • Enrolling Sensors into the Repeater

      5
      • 1. Put the repeater in enrollment mode via the PC or the DIP switches.

        5
      • 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.

        5
      • 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.

        5
      • 4. Repeat until all sensors have been enrolled.

      • PC Method

        5
      • DIP Switch Method

        5
        • 1. Put the repeater in individual delete mode via the DIP switches.

          5
        • 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 instruct...

          5
        • 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.

          5
        • 4. Repeat for each sensor to be deleted.

          6
        • 1. Put the repeater in delete all mode via the DIP switches.

          6
        • 2. Verify that the red LED is blinking.

          6
        • 3. Press and release the tamper switch.

          6
        • 4. Verify one long flash on the red LED, signaling successful deletion of all sensors.

    • Testing the Repeater Receiver

      6
      • 1. Take the cover off this repeater so you can observe the LED.

        6
      • 2. Cause each sensor to transmit and count packets received.

        6
      • 3. If any one of the sensors fails this test, relocate the repeater and repeat both the Repeater Transmitter
