- 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.

QuikBridge Node repeater Installation Instructions
4. Repeat for each sensor to be deleted.
To delete all enrolled sensors:
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.
Testing the Repeater Transmitter
After the repeater is temporarily mounted, perform a test to determine whether or not the sig-
nals sent by this repeater are received by the base station.
Note
This test requires two people. One person must activate (trip) the repeater transmitter while
another person observes the base station LED.
Hold down the tamper switch of the repeater for 5 seconds and release it. The LED of the
base station should flash 14-16 times. If the repeater passes the test, continue with installa-
tion.
If the repeater fails this test, it is too far from the base station and must be relocated. Move the
repeater to a new location, then perform another test. Continue until the repeater passes this
test.
Testing the Repeater Receiver
This test checks the communication link between a sensor and the repeater that will re-trans-
mit its signal.
Note
This test requires two people. One person must activate (trip) the sensor while another person
observes the repeater LED.
To perform a repeater reception test:
1. Take the cover off this repeater so you can observe the LED.
2. Cause each sensor to transmit and count packets received.
• For sensors with a tamper switch, remove the cover from the sensor to cause an alarm
transmission. The repeater LED should flash 7-8 times (indicating reception of the alarm sig-
nal).
• For sensors without a tamper switch, activate via normal means. The repeater LED
should flash 7–8 times.
• For panic buttons, hold down the button for 5 seconds and release it. The repeater LED
should flash 14–16 times.
• For touchpads, hold down an emergency button for 5 seconds, then release it. The
repeater LED should flash 7–8 times.
3. If any one of the sensors fails this test, relocate the repeater and repeat both the Repeater
Transmitter
