User's Manual

The
Vivint 345 MHz Repeater (RPTR1) is a receiver/transmitter device with an internal antenna
that
extends the range of a Vivint wireless home security and automation system.
It does this by
listening for
alarm, status, and control signals from the 345 MHz wireless sensors (i.e., motion
detectors, door/window sensors,
fire/smoke and CO detectors, etc.), and repeating those signals
to
the control panel.
The 345 MHz Repeater
includes supervisory features so it can report relevant current status
information
such as tamper, AC power loss, low battery, bad battery, or loss of supervision.
The RPTR1 can
repeat signals from Vivint, 2GIG/Linear, and Honeywell 345 MHz sensors and
devices
. Only one 345 MHz repeater should be added to a system.
The repeater
device contains a rechargeable battery that can provide up to 30 hours of backup
standby power when prim
ary (external) power is lost.
This document includes installation
, usage, and test instructions, as well as technical specifications
and regulatory
declarations.

Installation Instructions
(For more details about adding wireless sensors to the system, see product
Installation
documentation at the Knowledge In Motion site:
corp.vivint.com/sites/KIM/)
Mounting
the repeater device:
1. Remove the front cover by gently lifting the cover piece from the main body.
2. Connect the provided external power supply to the back of the repeater device,
and push the cable snugly into the slot (under the cable retention tabs
) so that the
device can be mounted flat against the surface of the wall.
3. Mount the repeater in the selected location (see Installation Tips). Use the single
round screw hole at the top of the device to insert the screw. Make sure to use a
screw anchor in the wall, and tighten the screw to securely attach the repeater.
(You may want to tighten the screw and then back it off a bit so that the repeater
can swing freely enough to self-straighten.)
4. Remove the battery pull tab to activate the backup battery. The blinking red TX
light indicates the repeater is transmitting signals between the system sensors and
the control panel.
(NOTE: The green PWR light does not turn on unless there is power from an
external power supply.)
5. Plug the power supply into an unswitched wall outlet.
6. Replace the front cover by pressing it directly onto the mounted repeater casing
and pushing gently until it clicks into place indicating it is securely closed.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
• Install the repeater in a location near an AC power outlet.
• To maximize wireless range, the r
epeater should be installed on a wall in the portrait
orientation, and located generally halfway between the most distant system
sensors
(e.g., sensors that are not communicating reliably) and the control panel.
• Install only one repeater device per Vivint system.
