The Vivint 345 MHz Repeater (RPTR1) is a receiver/transmitter device with an internal antenna
that retransmits 345 MHz signals of sensors in a Vivint wireless home security and automation
system. It does this by listening for alarm, status, and control signals from 345 MHz wireless
sensors (i.e., motion detectors, door/window sensors, fire/smoke and CO detectors, etc.), and
repeating those signals to the control panel.
The 345 MHz Repeater includes supervisory features so it can report relevant current status
information such as AC power loss, low battery, bad battery, or loss of supervision.
The RPTR1 can repeat signals from Vivint, 2GIG/Linear, and Honeywell 345 MHz sensors and
devices. Only one 345 MHz Repeater can be installed per system.
The repeater device contains a rechargeable battery that can provide up to 30 hours of backup
standby power when primary (external) power is lost.
This document includes installation, usage, and test instructions, as well as technical
specifications and regulatory declarations.

Installation Instructions
The repeater device can be installed (i.e., mounted) by either a Vivint technician or a
homeowner/customer by following the steps outlined below.
Mounting the repeater device:
1.
Remove the front cover by gently lifting the cover piece from the main body.
2.
Connect the provided external power supply to the back of the repeater device,
and push the cable snugly into the slot (under the cable retention tabs) so that
the device can be mounted flat against the surface of the wall.
3.
Mount the repeater in the selected location (see Installation Tips). Use the
single round screw hole at the top of the device to insert the screw. Make sure
to use a screw anchor in the wall, and tighten the screw to securely attach the
repeater. Because the battery is on the left, the repeater leans slightly to the
left. There is an extra piece of adhesive tape that ships with the product that
can be attached behind the lower portion of the repeater to keep it anchored
and centered (if desired).
4.
Plug the external power supply into an unswitched wall outlet. This turns on
the repeater.
5.
Remove the battery pull tab in order to activate the backup battery.
(
NOTE:
The solid green PWR light indicates the repeater is receiving power
from the external power supply. It will not light up when only the backup
battery is providing power. The blinking red TX light indicates the repeater is
transmitting signals between the system sensors and the control panel.)
6.
Replace the front cover by pressing it directly onto the mounted repeater
casing and pushing gently until it clicks into place indicating it is securely closed.

INSTALLATION TIPS:
•
Install the repeater in a location near an AC power outlet (unswitched wall outlet).
•
To maximize wireless performance, the repeater should be installed on a wall in
the portrait orientation, and located generally halfway between the most distant
system sensors (e.g., sensors that are indicating low signal strength) and the
control panel.
•
Install only one repeater device per Vivint system.
