1 Preface
The RBS Users Manual is for technical personnel involving in installation
and initialization process of the RBS, as a part of the Preventa family
systems.
2 Introduction
Repeater Base Station (RBS) is the integrated part of the infrastructure of the PREVENTA
family systems. RBS units are installed throughout the facility (typically at the ceiling level in
hallways) and are designed to relay the information. When installed in facility, RBS units form
a ZigBee mesh network which is scalable, redundant and self-healing. Each RBS acts as
network node with a repeater feature. In case of a RBS cannot link with the computer
station, the nearby RBS will rely the information of the unlinked RBS to the other RBS (mesh
network redundancy feature) until the data is received. RBS units are supervised by the
system so the failure of the RBS unit is reported and documented, while the system remains
fully operational.
3 Installation
The necessary number of RBS units and the locations where they should be
installed are determined during the Initial Facility Assessment (IFA). Please
consult the IFA Report.
The RBS is installed up on the wall near the ceiling, by using mounting screws supplied with
the installation package. Attach the DC plug of the DC power adapter (supplied) to the RBS
DC jack and insert the AC plug into the nearest AC wall receptacle. Alternatively, the RBS
may be mounted above the suspended ceiling.
The RBS installation should be performed by trained personnel.
4 Initialization
When the RBS is powered up, the indicator LED will be flashing red during the first 30
seconds, until the communication with the computer station is established. After 30 seconds,
the indicator LED will turn solid green. For any other scenario the installation technician
should use the Preventa Installation and Maintenance Guide (or call the Sensiotec’s Client
Service Center) for the troubleshooting guide.
5 Intended Use
The RBS is intended to be part of the infrastructure of the Preventa Care, Preventa Vital and
other Preventa family systems.
The RBS
should be operated only in environmental conditions specified in
PREVENTA™ Vital™ technical specification. The operating temperature
should not exceed -10°C to +50°C.
