The 1100R Series Wireless Repeater increases the wireless communication range and improves the signal quality between the DMP wireless receiver and transmitters. The 1100R features 128-bit AES encryption and supports DMP encrypted wireless devices.
Up to eight repeaters can be installed on a wireless system. The repeater is powered from a 12 VDC power supply and includes a 24-hour battery backup.
Installation Procedure
This guide walks you through the required steps needed to install an 1100R repeater. They are:
- Program the panel.
- Enable or disable the wall tamper.
- Select an install location.
- Install the repeater.
- Power the repeater.
- Sync transmitters to repeater.
Program the Panel
After completing each of the following steps, press CMD to advance to the next option. Refer to the panel programming guide as needed.
Reset the panel.
- At a keypad, enter 6653 (PROG) to access the PROGRAMMER menu.
- In ZONE INFORMATION, enter the wireless zone number from the table below. If using multiple repeaters, they must be programmed as sequential zone numbers.
- At UNUSED, enter the name of the repeater or repeater’s location for easy identification later.
- For XTL, XT, and XR Series Control Panels, select AUX 1 (auxiliary 1) as the ZONE TYPE. For XF6 Series Control Panels, select SV (Supervisory Zone) as the Zone Type.
- At AREA, assign the zone to an area.
- At WIRELESS? select YES.
- At SERIAL NO, enter the repeater’s eight-digit serial number.
- At SUPRVSN TIME, enter a supervision time. Default is 240.
- At the NEXT ZONE prompt, select NO for more programming options.
- Program ARMED OPEN and DISARMED OPEN as TROUBLE when there is a power failure.
- Program ARMED SHORT and DISARMED SHORT as ALARM when there is a tamper fault.
- Press CMD until STOP displays. Press a top row select key or area to save programming.
Enable or Disable the Wall Tamper
The 1100R is equipped with a case and wall tamper. When the housing cover is removed, the case tamper activates and the 1100R sends a tamper trouble to the panel when the system is disarmed, and an alarm when the system is armed.
A two-position header is provided to enable or disable the wall tamper. To enable the tamper, place the jumper on the top two pins. To disable the tamper, place the jumper on the bottom two pins.
Select an Install Location
Install the 1100R on a wall and away from large metal objects. Installing on or near metal surfaces impairs performance.
The 1100R is typically mounted between the 1100 Series Wireless Receiver and the 1100 Series Wireless Transmitters that are out of range. Mount the 1100R as far from the 1100 Series Receiver as needed to provide the required system range.
Use an 1106 Universal Wireless Transmitter to determine the location of the 1100R.
The 1106 provides a Survey LED capability to allow one person to confirm communication with the wireless receiver or panel while the cover is removed.
- Hold the 1106 in the exact desired location.
- Press the tamper switch to send data to the panel and determine if communication is confirmed or faulty.
Confirmed: If communication is confirmed, for each press or release of the tamper switch the LED blinks immediately on and immediately off. Repeat this test to confirm five separate consecutive LED blinks. Any indication otherwise means proper communication has not been established.
Faulty: If communication is faulty, the LED remains on for about 8 seconds or flashes multiple times in quick succession. Relocate the 1106 or wireless receiver until the LED confirms clear communication.
The DMP logo LED on the 1100R will turn green indicating the signal strength of the repeater is good. If the DMP logo LED is red, the repeater should be moved to a location that allows the logo LED to remain green.
Install the Repeater
- Remove the cover.
- Secure the 1100R to the wall using the supplied screws in the mounting hole locations shown in Figure 1.
- If the wall tamper is enabled, ensure a screw is placed through the 5th hole located behind the circuit board to secure the carbon spacer to the wall.
Power the Repeater
The 1100R can be powered from a 12 VDC external power supply, such as the included DMP model 372-1000-W or an optional external DC power supply, such as the DMP Model 505-12 or PS12-5. In addition to powering the 1100R, the power supply also charges the back-up battery on the 1100R that should be connected at the time of the installation. If the DC power source is removed, the power failure is indicated as an open condition on the 1100R zone.
Sync Transmitters to Repeater
Once the repeater has been installed, transmitters that are having signal quality issues need to be synced to the repeater. Use the Survey LED feature from Step 3: Select an Install Location or the wireless transmitter’s installation guide to ensure proper communication has been established.
- Remove the batteries from the wireless transmitters that are having signal quality issues.
- Wait 10 seconds and reinstall the batteries. This will allow the transmitter to communicate with the newly installed repeater.
- Use the Survey LED to confirm proper communication with.
Note: Do not skip the Survey LED step. This is necessary to ensure that newly installed wireless transmitters will not show premature low battery signals.
