The PROSIXRPTR-EU (hereinafter referred to as the Repeater) is an RF receiver and transmitter and is intended to extend the indoor
range of ProSeries sensors reporting to the ProSeries Control Panel. The Repeater receives and re-transmits messages between the
Control Panel and the ProSeries sensors. Alarm, status, and control messages from these ProSeries sensors are received by the
Repeater, and then repeated to the Control Panel. The Control Panel then responds accordingly (arm/disarm the system, initiate an
alarm, etc.).
Note: Installation shall be performed in accordance with local regulations.

FEATURES
The Repeater has the following features:
•
Transmits its own status, including wall and case tamper, AC power loss, low battery, and RF Jam.
•
Indicates RF Jam, AC/battery power status, and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) using LEDs.
•
RSSI indicates the signal condition between the Repeater and the Control Panel.
•
Provides a 24-hour backup rechargeable battery.
•
The Repeater is powered by a 5VDC, 1 Amp Plug-in Power Supply (R300-12259) that also charges the internal battery.
•
A 4.2VDC rechargeable internal backup battery is provided.
•
Up to two Repeaters can be used per system.
Note: Repeater-to-Repeater communication is not available (Repeater 1 does not communicate with Repeater 2).
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The Repeater has the following general guidelines:
•
When the internal battery is no longer capable of being recharged, a low battery status message is sent to the Control Panel, and
the battery must be replaced.
Note: New batteries may indicate they are low on initial startup; however, they should reach sufficient charge in 1 hour.
•
Before mounting permanently, the sensor must be enrolled to verify adequate signal strength at the intended mounting location and
relocate if necessary (see Control Panel instructions).
Signal strength information is sent with every communication to the Control Panel and is viewable through the AlarmNet 360™ cloud-
based management platform (AN360).
•
The Repeater is designed to operate from a range of 60 m through three walls made of wood, aluminum, or dry wall construction.
When a single repeater installation is typically required.
•
Range of the Control Panel and sensor is more than 60 m.
•
Signal strength of sensor is less than 2 bars for one or more sensors.
•
Failure of a Walk Test for any sensor or keypad.
•
If installation requires more than two floor communication.
When a second repeater installation is typically required.
Same as Single Repeater installation except:
•
Range of the panel and sensor is more than 150 m, then install the Control Panel in the middle with Repeaters on either direction of
the panel.
•
If Installation requires more than 3 floors of Communication. Install Control Panel on the middle floor; then install the Repeater based
on the steady Amber RSSI LED indication as described in LED Status Table.
Note: The maximum number of Repeaters allowed in a system is two. The path of transmission is as follows: Transmitter →
Repeater → Control Panel. (There is no Repeater → Repeater → Control Panel path of transmission).
