DEC-31.-2013 INSTALLATION GUIDE
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION The Locator system includes the following components:
Locator (LT-49):
Repeater (RPN-99):
The Locator receives 433 MHZ signal sent from WTR and transmits the signal in 912 MHZ to Repeater (RPN-99) or Base Unit
(BUN-152).
(Optional) The Repeater is an optional device used to relay signal sent from Locator with same Group number and System ID in 912 MHZ. Base Unit (BUN-152): The Base Unit receives the signals sent from Locator or Repeater in 912 MHZ and forward the signal to PSTN Dialer via RS232 connection
SYSTEM OPERATION DIAGRAM
SYSTEM CAPABILITY:
Each system can have maximum of 4096 LT-49 and 4096 RPN-99.
Each Locator and Repeater has its own ID Code set by a 12-pin Dip Switch.
The frequency hopping technology is adopted in the communication between Locator, Repeater and BUN-152.
There are three groups of hopping frequency bands are available. Each group contains 25 channels:
GROUP 1: 906.26 ~ 914.90 MHZ, 25 channels GROUP 2: 906.38 ~ 915.02 MHZ, 25 channels GROUP 3: 906.50 ~ 915.14 MHZ, 25 channels
Make sure the distance between BUN-152, RPN-99 and LT-49 is greater than 5 meters. If the distance is too close, the signal may interfere with each other. 1 BUN-152 Base Unit

Turn the switch counter-clock wise to decrease the radio range. SW1 : For setting the Group number, please refer to the section BUN-152. The Locators Group Number must be identical to the Base Station Group Number. SW2 : For setting the system ID code, please refer to the section BUN-152. The Locators System ID must be identical to the Base Station System ID. SW 3 : A 12-pin dip switch block to set the Unit ID Number. Each Locator should be assigned an unique ID Number for the Base Station to distinguish from which locator the signal was transmitted. There are a total of 2 used in one system. 12

If a 2-hour supervision period is set (SW1-off, SW2-On, SW3-off), the RPN-99 will send the supervision signal every 2 hours. SW 5 : TEST button. When it is pressed, RPN-99 will automatically sends out a Test signal. It can be used for Range Test. SW 6: RESET button. Pressing the button, the RPN-99 will do a power-on Reset and send a power-on check-in signal.
Power Supply
A DC 15V, 1.2A power adaptor is used to power the Locator.
A 1600mAh x 8 Ni-mh rechargeable battery is used as a back-up power. It takes approximately 72 hours to fully charge the battery.
Mounting the Locator
A mounting bracket is included in the Locator package for wall mounting. 1. Use the two holes in the mounting bracket as a template, drill two holes on the place of desired installation and insert wall plugs if required. 2. Screw the mounting bracket onto drilled hole. 3. Hook the Locator on the bracket.
Tamper protection
The Locator also features Tamper protection after hanging on the mounting bracket, any attempt to remove it from the mounting bracket will trigger the tamper switch and the RPN-99 will transmit the Tamper active signal accordingly.
Queue Buffer
The Locator has a Queue Buffer to store up to 12 signals to be transmitted.
During transmission, the Locator takes the data from the Queue Buffer one-by-one following First-in-First-out algorithm. If a signal received already exists in the Queue Buffer, this signal will be ignored.
When the Queue Buffer is full, any signal received will be ignored.
The data being transmitted will be put into another Time-out Buffer and a 10-sec timer will start counting. If a signal received is already in the Time-out Buffer, this signal will also be ignored. 6
Changing the Dip Switch setting
The Locator checks the Dip Switch setting only when power is supplied. Be sure to set the appropriate Group Number, System ID & Unit ID before power it on. If it is necessary to charge the Dip Switch setting after power on. Press the Reset button to do the power on Reset, otherwise the change will be ignored.
