INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH A NEW CONTROLLER AND SENSORS INSTALLATION
1. Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA.
2. Enroll the SiXRPTRA by keeping near the controller until all three LED’s are solid Green. The SiXRPTRA should be enrolled as a peripheral from
MobileTech.
3. Walk the SiXRPTRA away from the controller in the direction in which the sensor(s) are not communicating with the controller. NOTE: Perform
this step without the front cover installed to monitor the RSSI.
4. The SiXRPTRA verifies the signal strength between the controller and SiXRPTRA every five seconds. The RSSI LED will change from Red to
Amber (Green means you are within range) after 30 seconds. Amber LED tells you this is the furthest from the controller you can mount the
SiXRPTRA.
5. Move the sensors to their predetermined mounting location.
6. Successfully enroll all sensors.
7. Perform “SiX Auto System Check” from MobileTech so the controller requests signal strength from all sensors. Once a sensor has joined the
SiXRPTRA the signal strength should be greater than -75dBm. When a sensor is associated with a repeater, the displayed signal strength
represents the connection quality between the sensor and the SiXRPTRA.
8. MobileTech or the Controller can tell you which the sensor is connected. On the controller go to zones to determine which it is connected to.
Example: P800 represents the controller and R820 to R821 zones represents the SiXRPTRA. If sensors are not connected to the SiXRPTRA and
connected to the controller and the signal strength is less than -75dBm, then the sensor has not connected to the repeater or it is still too far away
from the controller/SiXRPTRA. If sensor signal strength is too weak then the controller can send a “Sync Network Resync” only to those sensors
using MobileTech. This creates the best path between sensor and repeater.
9. Perform a Sensor Walk Test to verify sensors are communicating through the SiXRPTRA or directly to the controller. NOTE: Make sure all
doors/windows are closed before entering Walk Test.
24-HOUR ENROLLMENT DELETION AND DEFAULT
If the device is enrolled in a controller different than the intended controller, and you are unable to delete it from the unintended
controller, default the device to factory default setting:
1. Open the cover and verify device is powered on.
2. Press the tamper for ½ second, release for ½ second and repeat four more times. (for a total of five).
3. All three LED’s rapidly flash and the SiXRPTRA defaults, leaving only the Power LED on.
This procedure is available for 24 hours after enrollment with a panel and the device remains powered (battery installed).
NOTE: if all LED’s light solid red for 5-seconds, then you are passed the 24-hour window.
TAMPER/LOW BATTERY REPORTING
The SiXRPTRA reports this condition to the Controller. If a low battery or tamper condition exists, a peripheral trouble shows a trouble
on the Controller.
NOTE: If an actual low battery condition is reported, it takes up to 12 hours after AC power is restored for the low battery restore
message to be sent (requires 12 hours for fully recharged battery).
IMPORTANT!
The first battery test occurs one hour after power up. To quickly verify a good backup battery, unplug and then plug back in the
power supply; the system will perform a battery test within one minute. Also, the controller does not annunciate low battery trouble for
the first 24 hours to all the battery to charge.
SUPERVISION
The SiXRPTRA reports AC loss and RF jam conditions, which displays a trouble on the Controller’s keypad(s). This prevents either
condition from causing an alarm when the Controller is armed.
