BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions
7
6. Insert the outlet screw through both the tab and the center
screw hole of the outlet cover, and tighten as necessary.
The tab and the cover should be snug against the outlet,
but not so tight that it causes flexing or stress on either the
tab or the outlet cover.
7. Reconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker
on or replacing the fuse.
2.6.3 Install the Battery
NOTE
To avoid risk of shock or fire, install only InGrid
IG180 battery.
Install the InGrid IG180 rechargeable battery pack into the
Keypad and allow charging for at least 24 hours before using
without AC power.
1. Use a coin to gently pry open the battery cover. Lift the
battery cover out and to the right to remove.
2. Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and
black wires is near the jack inside the battery compartment.
Match the connector's polarity to the Keypad polarity in the
battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the
grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack
connector into the jack until it clicks into place.
3. Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
jack will remain in place.
4. Route the battery wires under the provided clip avoid a
conflict with the battery cover. Place the battery cover back
on the Keypad by inserting the bottom tab into the Keypad
back plate and rotating the cover towards the front of the
Keypad until it snaps into place. The battery cover does not
require much force to reinstall. If resistance is encountered,
investigate the cause and reroute any wires as necessary
to permit closure with minimal force.
2.6.4 Cover Unused Emergency Keys
Cover any unused emergency keys with plastic key covers.
These covers are distributed in separate packages (PN 5-531-
234-00), and are not included with the Keypads. Remove the
paper backing from the back of the key cover, and press in
place.
2.7 Install Grid Extenders
NOTE
Once a Grid Extender obtains power from either
its battery or AC power, the Grid Extender
should beep once every 30 seconds. This
beeping indicates that the Grid Extender does
not contain identity information and has not yet
been registered into a BHS-i100 system. On
initial power up, if the Grid Extender does not
begin beeping once every 30 seconds, it will
need to be reset to factory default condition.
2.7.1 Installation Guidelines
• The Grid Extender is designed to be mounted to an outlet
that is preferably near a point where the telephone line
enters the house.
• Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
• The chosen outlet should not have a metal outlet cover.
This may reduce the communications range of the Grid
Extender. If necessary, replace any metal outlet cover
with another outlet cover made of a wood, plastic,
glass, or other non-metallic material.
• Always mount the Grid Extender in the upright vertical
position with the telephone connector facing down.
• The Grid Extender can be connected to a standard analog
(loop-start) phone line, with or without digital subscriber line
(DSL) service.
• The Grid Extender cannot be used on digital or PBX phone
lines, which are designed only for digital type devices that
operate anywhere from 5 volts DC and up. The Grid
Extender uses an analog modem and does not have a
digital converter, adapter, or interface to operate with such
systems.
• When connecting the Grid Extender to a standard analog
phone line, it is recommended that you install an RJ-31X
jack ahead of all phones and other devices on the line for
full line seizure. This allows the Grid Extender to take
control of the phone line when an alarm occurs, even if the
phone is in use or off-hook. It also provides customers with
a quick disconnect in case the Grid Extender malfunctions,
allowing them to use their phone.
• For UL Listed installations, mount the RJ-31X jack within 5
feet of the Grid Extender.
2.7.2 Install the Battery
NOTE
To avoid risk of shock or fire, install only InGrid
IG180 battery.
Install the InGrid IG180 rechargeable battery pack into the Grid
Extender and allow charging for at least 24 hours before using
with AC power.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover (use the
finger indentation for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2. Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and
black wires is near the jack inside the battery compartment.
Match the connector's polarity to the polarity of the jack in
the battery compartment (the connector notches fit into the
grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack
connector into the jack until it clicks into place.
3. Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on
the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the battery
connector will remain in place.
4. Place the battery case cover back on the Grid Extender and
slide it upwards until it clicks into place.
2.7.3 Mounting
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the
Grid Extender. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding
strap to discharge yourself.
1. Mount the Grid Extender on an outlet only after the battery
has been installed in the Grid Extender and the battery
cover is closed.
2. Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to
which the Grid Extender will be mounted and disconnect
power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or
removing the fuse.
3. Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to the
outlet. Do not remove the outlet cover.
4. Plug the Grid Extender into the lower socket of the outlet as
shown in Figure 4 with the Signal Extender telephone
connector facing downward.
5. The Grid Extender contains a sliding tab that protrudes
above the Grid Extender. If necessary, slide the tab up or
