    Installation guide for the Skylink® RP-318 Wireless Repeater — extends the range of Skylink Household Alert sensors by receiving and re-broadcasting their signal to your receiver unit.

    What's Included

    • RP-318 Repeater
    • AC power adapter

    Setup

    Power Up

    1. Pry off the battery cover using a clip.
    2. Insert a 9V alkaline battery into the connector wire and place it inside the battery compartment.
    3. Slide the battery cover back on.
    4. Straighten the antenna wire into a vertical position. Do not cut the antenna.
    5. Slide the power switch to ON. The repeater is now ready to operate.

    Placement

    Position the repeater at least 3 feet above the ground, centrally located between the furthest sensors and the receiver unit it communicates with. Keep the area around the repeater clear of other wireless devices to avoid interference.

    Testing

    Activate an existing Skylink Household Alert sensor 1–2 feet in front of the repeater. When the repeater receives and repeats the signal, its red light will flash. Note: some delay in responding may be evident when repeating signals.

    External Power (DC 12V)

    The repeater can run on either a 9V battery or an external AC power adapter. Plug the AC adapter into the "DC JACK" position, then turn the power on.
