QuikBridge Node repeater Installation Instructions
Installing the Tamper Switch
For instructions on installing the tamper switch, see the Multi-Purpose Housing Installation
Instructions (Part No. 466-1959).
Powering the Repeater
See the “Specifications” section for transformer requirements. Connect the AC transformer
leads to the outer two terminals of the 5-terminal block. These terminals are marked
“16VAC”. A 12 VDC lead acid battery, such as the Panasonic LCR12V1.3P, may be
installed as a backup power source. Connect the backup battery to the spade lugs.
Initial Configuration
The repeater requires an initial configuration, via personal computer, before enrollment of
sensors may take place. The Node Number, Default Sensor Supervisory Timeout, and other
constants are set during this configuration. Configuration is required regardless of whether
the enrollment of sensors is to be done with the PC or the DIP switches.
Enrolling Sensors into the Repeater
Sensors may be enrolled into the repeater by either the PC method or the DIP switch
method. The only difference lies in the method of putting the repeater in enrollment mode
and verifying the successful enrollment of a sensor. In the PC method, the computer inter-
face is used for control and feedback. In the DIP switch method, the switches are used for
control (see Table 1) and the red LED is used for feedback (see Table 3).
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
Sensors may be deleted from the repeater by either the PC method or the DIP switch
method.
PC Method
With the PC method, the desired sensors are deleted using the PC interface. The repeater is
updated via the USB connection. There is no need to transmit with the sensor. See the doc-
umentation for the PC software for more information.
DIP Switch Method
With the DIP switch method, the switches are used to put the repeater in one of two delete
modes (see Table 1). This allows the user to either delete individual sensors or delete all
sensors. The red LED is used for confirmation (see Table 3).
To delete individual sensors:
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 instructions for each sensor
for more information.
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.
There is a risk of explosion if an incorrect type of battery is installed. Observe
polarity when installing a new battery. Installing the battery backward may
cause damage to the repeater. Dispose of used batteries according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions and local government authorities.
