Paradox RPT1+ Wireless Repeater Module
Installation Manual
Introduction
The RPT1+ Wireless Repeater module will improve the range of your Magellan system. It also improves the range of the RTX3 when used with any Spectra SP control panel. It does this by retransmitting information from zones, PGMs, wireless keypads, and the control panel. Wireless sirens are not compatible with the RPT1+. With the RPT1+, all remote control signals are always repeated. You can have two RPT1+s per system (refer to the appropriate programming guide for instructions). The Wireless Repeater also provides one zone input with two-way wireless communication with the system.
Overview
The RPT1+ PCB features the following components:
- 1. Jumper
- 2. 307USB connector
- 3. Battery sensor
- 4. Li-ION battery
- 5. Battery connector
- 6. Captive screw
- 7. Wall tamper
- 8. Cover tamper
- 9. Power status LED
- 10. Panel status LED
- 11. Battery status LED
- 12. Upgrade status LED
- 13. Power and Zone connectors
- 14. Learn switch
- 15. Antenna

Installation
- Write down the serial number and location of the RPT1+ for later reference in order to insert into the Paradox BabyWare software.
- Ensure that the RPT1+ is installed in a location free of obstacles.
- Connect the Li-ion battery.
- Connect to a 12-24 Vac transformer or 12-24 Vdc power supply.
- Connect hardwired zones to input Z1 and COM.
- Note: If you wish to have a trouble tamper, the RPT1 zone (Z1) must be programmed in the panel.
- Set jumper JP1 ON (default) for Normally Closed Zones or set jumper JP1 OFF for Normally Open Zones.
- Register the zone by entering the RPT1+'s serial number in the appropriate system Zone Serial Number section or by using the Installer Quick Menu.
Note: Do not cut, bend or alter the antenna. Avoid mounting the RPT1+ on metal, or in any location that could cause RF interference. Mount it as high as possible and in locations not susceptible to drastic temperature changes. Mount the RPT1+ in a location that allows at least 5 cm (2") around the module for adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
