The radio repeaters act as a 'Range Expander' and helps a system scale from smaller commercial
sites to large campuses with several buildings. Note: Repeaters will use an input from the radio
expander.
Press the 'AZ' and scroll to the input number you wish to
assign a repeater. To assign the REPEATER to that input,
power the repeater when the input number is displayed, and
one dot will flash to confirm. To remove a repeater from that
input, press 'CLEAR'

The supervision time is the time of monitoring each detector on the radio expander.
Press the 'AZ' and scroll to the input number you wish to
check. The display will show the input number and two dots.
With the input number displayed, press the 'MO' button to
change the supervision time to (a number will be displayed,
ignore this, just follow the dots)
30 minutes (no dots) / 30 hours (1 dot) / 30 days (2 dots)

One of the most frequent problems in not being able to assign the detectors to the Radio Expander
is that the jumper on the detector PCB has not been put in place on the 'EU' pins. This makes sure
the transmitter transmits at the correct 868MHz frequency which the zone expander uses.
Make sure that the 'serial' jumper on the radio expander is in the 'MF' position.
If there is "33" displayed on the screen and can't be cleared, it is because the expander has been
selected for "A0" not "E0". You will need to power down the expander and address it again.
