INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The2GIGWirelessIndoorRepeater(2GIG‐RPTR1‐345)isaremotely
poweredwirelessindoorrepeater.The repeaterisaperipheraldevice
thatcommunicate swiththe2GIGPanelusingaproprietary345MHz
transmissionprotocol.Therepeaterreceivesandrecognizesmessages
fromother345MHzdevicesthatareunabletodirectlycommunicate
withthesy
st
em,and“repeats”thosemessagestoextendtherangeof
thesedevices.
Therepeaterwilltypicallybeinstalledatthemid‐pointbetweenthe
panelandthewirelessdevicesbeingrepeated.Whenatransmission
fromadeviceisrepeated,therepeateraddsabittothemessageto
indicatetothesy
stemthattheme
ssageisnotcomingdirectlyfrom
thedevice.Therepeaterwillnotrepeatalreadyrepeatedmessages.
TherepeaterispoweredbyanACadapterandisequippedwitha
rechargeablebatterywhichsupports24hoursofbatterybackup
underconditionsoflocalpowerfailure.Whenthepo
wersourcefo
r
therepeaterchangesfromACpowertobatterybackup,orfrom
batterybackuptoACpower,therepeaterwillautomaticallysenda
messagetothesystemwithintwo(2)minutes.Inaddition,
supervisorymessagesaresentapproximatelyevery70minutesthat
indicatetherepeaterstatus.
Therepeaterisequippe
dwithast
atusindicatorLEDvisiblefromthe
frontoftheunit,andalearnbuttonislocatedonthesideoftheunit.

Figure 2 Wireless Indoor Repeater Component and Feature Locations
Mounting Guidelines
Usetheseguidelineswheninstallingthewirelessindoorrepeater:
• MountRepe
aterswithin100ft(30m)oftheControlPanel.
Althoughthetransmittermayhavearangeof350ft(106.7m)in
openair,therepeaterlocationcanhaveasignificanteff ecton
range.Inopen/unobstructedsituations,thetransmitterrangemay
begreater.Inadversewirelessconditions,changingthere
peater
orien
tationmayleadtoimprovedrange.
• MountRepe
atersashighaspossible.Mountingtherepeaterhigh
offthegroundhelpsreceiversensitivity.
• DoNotExpos
eRepeaterstoMoistureorExtremeTemperature.It
isbesttomountrepeatersinadrylocationwheretheoperating
temperaturedoesnotexceed32°to120°F(0°to49°C).
• Ke
epRepeatersAwa
yfromMetal/MetalicSurfaces.Tokeepthe
repeaterawayfrommetalormetallicsurfaces(forexample,foil
wallpaper),itisrecommendedthatyouusespacers(notincluded).
Youshouldalsoavoidmountingsensorsinareaswherethereisa
largequantityofmetalorelectricalwiring(forexample,neara
furn
aceorinauti l
ityroom).
Toinstallthewirele
ssrepeater:
1 Opentherepeatercase.
2 Attachthebasetothedesiredwalllocationwiththefour(4)
Phillipsheadscrewsandanchorssupplied(seeFigure2).
3 Installthetamperscrew(seeFigure2).Withthetamperscrew
installed,removingthecasefromthewalltriggerstamper.
NOTE: Forthetampertoworkcorrectly,thetamperscrewmust
beinstalledintoawallstud.Donotuseawallanchor.
4 Installthebattery.Observebatterypolarity.
5 Connectthe2‐conductorwiretothepowersupplyandtothe
terminalconnectoronthecircuitboard.Makesurethewire
passesthroughthegrommetandholeontherepeaterbasebefore
connectingtotheterminal.
6 Attachtherepeatercovertothebaseandsecuretheassembly
withthePhillipsheadcaselockingscrew.
