- Installing the Tamper Switch
- Powering the Repeater
- Initial Configuration
- Enrolling Sensors into the Repeater
- 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.
- Deleting Sensors from the Repeater
- PC Method
- DIP Switch Method
- 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 instruct...
- 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.
- 4. Repeat for each sensor to be deleted.
- 1. Put the repeater in delete all mode via the DIP switches.
- 2. Verify that the red LED is blinking.
- 3. Press and release the tamper switch.
- 4. Verify one long flash on the red LED, signaling successful deletion of all sensors.

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.
Compatibility
• All GE Interlogix 80-bit sensors at 319.5MHz
• GE Interlogix Learn Mode panic sensors at 319.5MHz
