3. Installation – General Information 
The SA-29G Repeater detects the RF transmissions from 
the Rosslare sensors and remote controls in its vicinity, 
and re-transmits them to the main control unit. 
Caution: AVOID mounting on or near large metal 
surfaces or reinforced concrete walls which may interfere 
or block the wireless signals. Test the range from the 
desired location using the RF test procedure described in 
section  0.  
Caution: To prevent false tamper signals, make sure that 
after enrolling the repeater, the Case and Back Tamper 
are secure. 
Caution: BATTERY WARNING!!! DO NOT REMOVE, DE-
SOLDER, SHORT-CIRCUIT OR BURN THE BATTERY ON THE 
UNIT. THIS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE 
BATTERY. 
4. Installation Instructions 
4.1. Recharging the Battery 
Recharge the battery the first time you operate the SA-
29G, or if you are using the unit after it has been out of 
service for a prolonged period of time. 
Recharge the UPS battery for at least 7 hours, to make it 
fully functional. 
4.2. Enrolling to the Host Control Panel 
1) In the appropriate RF zone, enter the programming 
menu of the host. Go to the Repeater Zone and select 
the RF device.  
2) When prompted, generate a transmission from the SA-
29G Repeater unit using the cover Tamper Switch (the 
SA-29G must be connected to DC power).  
Note: The SA-29G will identify any Rosslare wireless 
product, by protocol. It will repeat any transmission it 
receives so the transmission reaches other devices that 
are part of the setup (e.g., Wireless Keypads, Control 
Panels and/or Wireless Sirens).  
4.3. Mounting the SA-29G onto the Wall  
1) Remove the plastic screw cover from the SA-29G front 
cover (see Figure 1), to reveal the case-locking screw. 
2) Unscrew the case locking screw and remove the front 
cover.  
CAUTION: Do not touch any of the circuitry.  
3) Using the back case as a template, mark the locations 
of the holes on the wall, and then drill the desired 
holes. It is recommended to install the unit in a high 
position to prevent tampering.

4.4. Connecting the Power and Setting the Back Tamper 
Operation Logic.  
1) While wiring the power, remove the power supply from 
the mains. 
2) Run the two power wires (+12V DC) and (-) through 
the hole provided in the back case, and connect to 
the terminal blocks for Vin (see Figure 2); Connect the 
Ground (-), and then the (+12Volts DC).  
3) Use the jumper to enable or disable the back tamper:  
Jumper In-Place -> Back Tamper Disabled  
Jumper Removed -> Back Tamper Enabled 
(see Figure 2).  
Caution: Make sure the casing is mounted flush onto the 
mounting surface to prevent false Back Tamper signals.

4.5. Testing the Installation:  
4) Perform the RF test by entering the Host's RF test 
feature, and transmitting to the Host using the SA-29G 
cover tamper switch.  
5) Perform a visual test using the LED of the SA-29G to see 
that the unit's repeating function is functioning 
properly; The LED flashes each time the SA-29G 
transmits.  
4.6. Finishing the installation:  
6) When all the above instructions have been followed, 
and the unit is functioning, replace the tap cover and 
screw (a security screw may be used for additional 
protection).  
7) Replace the plastic screw cover.
