PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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

¾ 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.

• When connecting the Signal Extender to a standard analog phone line, it is recommended that you install an RJ31X jack ahead of all phones and other devices on the line for full line seizure. This allows the Signal Extender to take control of the phone line when an alarm occurs, even if the phone is in use or off-hook. It also provides customers with a quick disconnect in case the Signal Extender malfunctions, allowing them to use their phone.
