RODUCT ESCRIPTION
The Signal Extender is an InGrid Grid Controller that provides a communications link between an InGrid system
and an alarm company central monitoring station. The Signal Extender receives radio signals from other Grid
Controllers and from wireless Sensors, then uses the phone line to report security system events to the central
monitoring station. One or more Signal Extender can be registered in a single InGrid system.
The Signal Extender provides added security by separating the telephone interface from other Grid Controllers such
as Keypads or Handsets. If a Keypad or Handset is damaged during a break-in or fire, the Signal Extender can still
report to the central monitoring station. The Signal Extender is a supervised device that is regular communications
with other Grid Controllers.

Installation Guidelines

•
The Signal Extender is designed to be mounted to an outlet that is preferably near a point where the telephone
line enters the house. The Signal Extender will typically communicate at a range of up to 500 feet from other
Grid Controllers.
•
Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
•
The chosen outlet should not have a metal outlet cover. This may reduce the communications range of the
Signal Extender. If necessary, replace any metal outlet cover with another outlet cover made of a wood, plastic,
glass, or other non-metallic material.
•
Always mount the Signal Extender in the upright vertical position with the telephone connector facing down.
•
The Signal Extender can be connected to a standard analog (loop-start) phone line, with or without digital
subscriber line (DSL) service.
Note: The Signal Extender cannot be used on digital or PBX phone lines, which are designed only for digital type
devices that operate anywhere from 5 volts DC and up. The Signal Extender uses an analog modem and does not
have a digital converter, adapter, or interface to operate with such systems.
