For your safety For your safety Basic safety instructions Observe all warnings and notes in these Fitting and Operating Instructions when fitting, programming and using theRepeater. Always keep these Fitting and Operating Instructions near the Repeater. Make sure you are using the latest version of this manual. The manual is available free of charge at www.ces.eu. Danger of explosion Live parts of the Repeater may cause an explosion. Do not use the Repeater in potentially explosive atmospheres.
For your safety Do not drop the Repeater on the floor, on hard surfaces or on hard objects. Use surge arresters to avoid damage to your Repeater through overvoltage, for example by lightning. Protect the electronic components of the Repeater against water and other liquids. The Repeater contains highly sensitive electronic parts that may be damaged or destroyed through static charges. Do not disassemble the Repeater in rooms with built up static charge.
For your safety Explanation of the safety notes These Fitting and Operating Instructions include safety notes of the following types: CAUTION CAUTION notes warn against hazards that may result in slight or medium injuries. Notes NOTICE Notes warn against possible property or environmental damage.
For your safety Intended use The Repeater serves to extend the range of the data transmission between locking devices and Access Points within the CEStronics RF-NET radio network. Data are transmitted between the Repeater and the locking devices and Access Points via 868 MHz radio signals. The Repeater does not work without an Access Point. The Repeater is exclusively intended and may only be used for that purpose.
Introduction Introduction Description The Repeater part of the OMEGA system. It extends existing radio links between installed Access Points and locking devices by up to 25 metres. For the operation of the Repeater no configuration is required; all necessary settings are made by the Repeater itself. To put the Repeater into service, you only have to select a suitable place of installation and fasten the Repeater.
Introduction Components of a wireless system with Repeater Repeaters extend the radio link between your Access Points and locking devices by up to 25 metres.
Introduction Scope of delivery Before proceeding with fitting and commissioning, please check the contents of the package and the scope of delivery. Check new devices for transport damage and inform your CEStronics partner promptly if any damage is found.
Introduction Unpacking the Repeater Take the Repeater out of the package and remove any packaging material such as film, padding and packaging board. NOTICE Risk of damage to the Repeater. Only use the plug-in power supply delivered with the device to supply your Repeater with power.
Introduction RF ranges Ensure that the permissible RF ranges are observed. Install the Repeaters within the maximum RF range of 25 metres each. The maximum RF distance between Access Point (1) and Repeater (2) is 25 metres. The maximum RF distances between Repeater (2) and locking devices (3) is 25 meters. The RF range may vary considerably depending on the building situation. See also note on page 8.
Introduction Checking the range The optional RF-TRACE-MASTER allows you to check the quality of the radio frequency (RF) link between the OMEGA server and your locking devices. The RF-TRACE-MASTER triggers the following signals of your locking devices: Green LED of your locking cylinder, IES or wall terminal flashes twice: very strong RF link. Green LED of your locking cylinder, IES or wall terminal flashes once: adequate RF link.
Fitting the Repeater Fitting the Repeater NOTICE If a Repeater fails, your locking devices cannot be reached any more. Make sure that the Repeaters are always easily accessible for servicing. Make sure that all electrical connections can be separated at any time. NOTICE The Repeater may be damaged if not fitted properly. Only skilled personnel may fit the Repeater. This personnel must have been trained on the product by CEStronics or a CEStronics partner.
Fitting the Repeater When fitting the Repeater, you must ensure the following conditions: Make sure that the power supply and the power supply cable can be plugged in. The Repeater must not be fitted on metallic surfaces. Always install the Repeater as far away from ground potentials as possible to avoid interference with the radio traffic. Do not fit the Repeater in the immediate vicinity to Access Points or other Repeaters. The Repeater may not be fitted outdoors.
Fitting the Repeater The Repeater must be fitted at an easily accessible location, e.g. near a ceiling or on a wall. Suitable fitting positions are for instance above a door frame, at a height of about 2 metres with as much distance to the nearest object or wall as possible, or similar positions at a height of about 2 metres or more and also with as much distance to the nearest object or wall as possible. The Repeater is to be installed with the ports pointing upwards.
Fitting the Repeater Wherever possible, you should check the reception before the final fastening to determine the orientation of the Repeater and the antenna: For this purpose, put the Repeater temporarily into service (see page 18 ff). Verify the reception at your locking devices with the RFTRACE-MASTER card (see page 12). The orientation of the antenna can be adjusted. As long as the antenna has not yet been screwed in tight, it can be rotated by 360°.
Fitting the Repeater Push the Repeater onto the wall mount. The Repeater only sits properly after it has snapped into place in the wall mount. Do not yet screw the antenna (1) tight into the antenna base (2) at this time. Do not use any tools for tightening. Establish the required cable connections as described on page 11 "Connections". Put the Repeater into service.
Fitting the Repeater Check the orientation of the antenna to ensure sufficient effective radiated power. Use the optional RF-TRACE-MASTER to check the effective radiated power (see also note on page 12 "Checking the range"). Orientate the antenna so that your locking devices receive the maximum effective radiated power. As long as the antenna has not yet been screwed in tight, you can rotate it by 360° and align it vertically and horizontally.
Fitting the Repeater If possible, verify the perfect functioning of the Repeater already at this stage: Normal operation Signal location Meaning Does the data exchange with locking devices work? The two LEDs signal the following conditions: 20 Signal Meaning Green LED, flashing Data exchange with locking devices Red LED, flashing Operative RF-NET Repeater
Trouble shooting Trouble shooting Symptom Possible cause and remedy No connection to Your connection cables are mechanically the locking devices damaged or broken. can be established. Check the installation for broken wires or faulty connections. Check the continuity of your wires with a suitable instrument (multimeter, ohmmeter). Verify the proper functioning of the plug-in power supply of the Access Point and/or the Repeater with a suitable instrument (multimeter, ohmmeter).
Trouble shooting No connection to the locking devices can be established. The Access Point and/or the Repeater has no connection to the power supply and/or the network. Check the terminals and connections. Establish missing connections. Check the signalization of the LEDs. Locking devices are outside the radio frequency range of your Repeater. Reduce the distance to your locking devices. Verify the quality of the radio frequency transmission with the optional RF-TRACE-Master.
Trouble shooting can be established. properly. Check the software settings as described in the OMEGA User Manual. Check the functioning of the software as described in the OMEGA User Manual. Verify the perfect functioning of your PC. If you are not able to verify the perfect functioning, please contact your PC dealer. If the trouble still cannot be eliminated, please contact your CEStronics partner.
Maintenance Maintenance Have the Repeater serviced and its perfect functioning verified every six months by CEStronics or by a CEStronics partner only. Spare Parts The Repeater does not require any spare parts for you to change. If you need service, please contact your professional CES partner. Disposal Neither the Repeater, nor any parts of the Repeater may be discarded with the normal household waste.
