When button testing units in sequence it is important to wait 15 seconds plus a further
6 seconds per repeater between button tests (e.g. for a system with 10 repeaters,
time to wait: 15 seconds + 10 x 6 seconds = 75 seconds between button tests).
Finally attach the label provided to the distribution board to identify the alarm circuits.
(Note: To clear House Codes see section 10 - Technical Specification)
4. THE “REPEATER” FUNCTION
All Ei168RC Bases are set as “Repeater” Bases
as supplied. The function of a Repeater Base is
to receive and then re-transmit the RF signals.
This provides multiple signal paths throughout
the installation to give improved RF signal
reliability (with 3 or more RadioLINK Bases).
Note the “Repeater” function is not operational
until all the units are put in to House Code mode.
The operation of the “Repeaters” can be
observed as each unit turns on its amber light as
a RadioLINK message is being repeated.
A maximum of ten RadioLINK Bases can be set
as ‘“repeaters” in any one system. If more than
ten units are being installed, some of the units
in the system must have their “repeater” mode
de-activated. The units to de-activate should
