Sensitivity reduction
To minimize possible effects of passive environment changes
after installation, the sensitivity of the receiver is automatically
reduced by minimum 8 dB when the repeater is in service
mode (walk test or sensor learn-in mode).
Walk test mode
The repeater supports a "walk test" special operation mode,
which allows you to verify the proper operation of the repeater
and learned sensors.
To enable the walk test mode, set DIP switch 1 to On. The
walk test mode is indicated on LEDs by intermittent switching
of four upper and four lower LEDs.
Once the walk test mode is enabled on the repeater, perform
the standard walk test procedure on sensors as specified in
documentation of relevant intrusion panel.
Additionally, the repeater may be tested by pressing and
holding the tamper button for at least 2 seconds.
Note:
This functionality is supported on XGen/XGenConnect
panels only.
The walk test mode can be disabled by setting the DIP
switch 1 to Off.
Note:
Walk test mode switches off automatically after
10 minutes if the repeater cover is closed (tamper switch is not
activated). In such a case, in order to trigger the walk test
mode again, you should set DIP switch 1 to Off, and then back
to On.
Sensor learning
An installation may include up to 16 repeaters.
The total number of all devices, sensors and repeaters, may
not exceed the maximum number of wireless sensors
supported by the intrusion panel.
For example, if the panel supports up to 64 wireless sensors,
and the setup requires 5 repeaters, then the system may
support up to 64−5 = 59 sensors.
Repeaters can form different networks, for example:
•
Chain – a network of repeaters with sensors (Figure 4)
•
Star – a network of repeaters with sensors (Figure 5)
•
A mixed network of repeaters with sensors (Figure 6)
General rules for device learning
•
All sensors and all repeaters must be learned into the
panel. See sections 1 and 2 below for learning
procedures.
•
Sensor X should be learned into repeater Y only if the
sensor X data is received directly by repeater Y. For
example, in the mixed network in figure above:
- Sensor ID 9 should be learned into repeater ID 2 (direct
connection).
- Sensors IDs 10, 11, and 12 should NOT be learned into
repeater ID 2 (indirect connections).
See "Learning sensors in repeaters" below for learning
procedure.
4 / 52
•
Repeater X should be learned into the repeater Y only if
repeater Y is retransmitting signals from repeater X, and
connection between them is direct.
For example, in the mixed network in figure above:
- Repeaters ID 3 and ID 4 should be learned into repeater
ID 2.
- Repeater ID 1 should NOT be learned into repeater ID 2
(no retransmition occurs between these two devices).
See "Learning repeaters in repeaters" below for learning
procedure.
Learning sensors in the panel
1.
Start the Learn-in procedure on the panel.
2.
Perform the learn-in procedure for each sensor that must
be added to the installation. For details, refer to the sensor
manual.
3.
Confirm each sensor in the panel.
Learning repeaters in the panel
Note:
When the repeater is set to LoNa (DIP 6: On), then
learning the repeater from the NXG-1820-EUR touchpad is not
supported. Use the NXG-183x-EUR keypad, panel web
browser, or UltraSync+ App.
1.
Start the Learn-in procedure in the panel.
2.
For safety reasons, disconnect AC from the repeater.
3.
Activate tamper (if operating in 63bit mode),
— or —
press the diagnostic button for at least 3 seconds (if
operating in 80+ LoNa mode).
Do it for each repeater in the system.
4.
Confirm each repeater in the panel.
Learning sensors in repeaters
1.
On the first repeater, change the DIP Switch 8 state to On
(configuration switch) to enable learning of sensors into
the repeater.
2.
Perform a learn-in procedure on each sensor that must be
added to the first repeater's database.
Disable the learn-in mode on the first repeater – change
3.
DIP switch 8 back to Off.
4.
Put the next repeater in the learn-in mode.
5.
Perform a learn-in procedure on each sensor that must be
added to the next repeater's database.
6.
Disable the learn-in mode on the repeater.
7.
Repeat steps 4 to 5 for other repeaters.
Learning repeaters in repeaters
If one repeater is supposed to retransmit signals from another
one (in a chain or mixed configuration) an additional learning
procedure for each such pair of repeaters needs to be
performed:
1.
Put the repeater which should retransmit signals from
another repeater in the learn-in mode – DIP Switch 8 to
On.
