1. Brief Introduction and Features
**Brief Introduction**
The main function of the wireless signal converter is to forward the detector signal to the alarm host, indirectly extending the range of the detector. This expands the alarm control coverage. It is especially useful when the host and detector are far apart or when obstacles interfere with signal transmission and reception.
**Features**
1. Five wireless zones (zones 1–5): The wireless detector can learn the code for the relay of each of these five zones. Each zone's detector number is limited, but the total number of detectors can be up to 99. Up to 19 to 20 detectors per zone totaling 99 detectors
2. Can learn remote control signals, supporting up to 99 remote controls.
3. Two wired zones (zones Z4–Z5): Wired zones offer optional short-circuit alarm or open-circuit alarm (NO or NC).
4. Compatible with a wide range of chips, including 1527 (resistance 150K–470K) and ordinary coding chip 2262 (resistance 1.5M–4.7M), covering the full range of remote controls and detectors.
5. Built-in rechargeable battery: An external power supply trickle charges the battery, and the system automatically switches to battery power if the external supply fails.
6. Built-in EEPROM chip: In case of shutdown or power failure, learned codes for remote controls and detectors will not be lost, ensuring data security.
2. Operating - Learning the Gen 2 Remote Controller
How to add the Remote Controller to the RF Repeater
Long press the [SET] key for 3 to 5 seconds. The 5 red zone LED lights will turn on at the same time, now release the [SET] key. The system is in the Remote Controller learning state, press any button on the Remote Controller to trigger a signal. If you hear a "beep" and the 5 LEDs flash twice, the Gen 2 Controller has been successfully learned.
If you hear a "beep" sound and the 5 LEDs flash, this indicates that the remote control has already been coded.
To learn additional remote controllers, press any button on the new remote. If you hear 3 beeps and see the 5 LEDs flashing, it means that more than 99 remote controls have already been learned, and no more can be added.
If you have not pressed the set button or any button on the controller within 25 seconds, the learning state will automatically exit. The 5 red zone LED lights will turn off.
Test: Press any button on the Gen 2 Controller, the signal light will flash green, this indicates that the signal has been received and sent.
**How to remove the Remote Controller from the RF Repeater**
Long press the [SET] key for 3 to 5 seconds. The 5 red zone LED lights will turn on at the same time. Release the (SET) key to enter the remote controller learning state. Press and hold the [SET] key again until you hear four "beep" sounds. The five LEDs will flash and turn off, indicating that all remote controllers have been deleted.
3. Operating - Learning the Entry Sensor and PIR MS
How to add the Entry Sensor or PIR Motion Sensor to the RF Repeater
Long press the [SET] key for 3 to 5 seconds. The 5 red zone LED lights will turn on at the same time. Release the [SET] key to enter the Sensor learning state. Then, short press the [SET] key to select the zone you want the sensor to be added to:
- Learning Zone 1: Press once. The Zone 1 indicator light turns on.
- Learning Zone 2: Press twice. The Zone 2 indicator light turns on.
- Learning Zone 3: Press three times. The Zone 3 indicator light turns on.
- Learning Zone 4: Press four times. The Zone 4 indicator light turns on.
- Learning Zone 5: Press five times. The Zone 5 indicator light turns on.
Separate the Entry Sensor parts or create a motion in front of the PIR MS to send a signal. If you hear a "beep," the zone LED flashes twice to confirm success.
A "tick" sound means the detector is already coded. Three "beep" sounds indicate the maximum of 99 detectors has been reached.
If you have not pressed the set button or any button on the controller within 25 seconds, the learning state will automatically exit. The Red zone LED light will turn off.
Test: Separate the Entry Sensor parts or create a motion in front of the PIR MS, the signal light will flash green, this indicates that the signal has been received and sent.
**How to remove the Entry Sensor or PIR Motion Sensor from the RF Repeater**
Long press the [SET] key for 3 to 5 seconds. The 5 red zone LED lights will turn on at the same time. Release the [SET] key to enter the Sensor learning state. Then press the [SET] key to select the zone, when you continue to press the [SET] key the next zone number will light up. Note: If you go down to zone 5, you cannot return to zone 1 and will have to start the process over:
- To Delete Zone 1: Hold the [SET] key until you hear four "beep" sounds. The Zone 1 LED flashes four times, confirming removal.
- To Delete Zone 2: Hold the [SET] key until you hear four "beep" sounds. The Zone 2 LED flashes four times, confirming removal.
- To Delete Zone 3: Hold the [SET] key until you hear four "beep" sounds. The Zone 3 LED flashes four times, confirming removal.
- To Delete Zone 4: Hold the [SET] key until you hear four "beep" sounds. The Zone 4 LED flashes four times, confirming removal.
- To Delete Zone 5: Hold the [SET] key until you hear four "beep" sounds. The Zone 5 LED flashes four times, confirming removal.
5. How to fully reset the RF Signal Repeater
Remove the adapter from the wall socket and set the battery switch to OFF, and hold down the [SET] key. While holding down the [SET] key, plug in the power adapter and wait for the RF Repeater 5 red zone LED lights to flash and beep 10 times. Release the [SET] key. The RF Repeater has been reset and restored to factory settings, deleting all learned remote controllers and Sensors.
6. Signal Forwarding and Indicator lights
When a remote control or Zone 1–5 wireless Sensor is triggered, the transmitter forwards the signal.
- Red Signal light ON: USB power is connected.
- Red Signal light flashes every 5 seconds: Battery power indicator.
- Green Signal light flashes for 2 seconds: Confirms reception of the remote control signal or forwarding mode.
- Red/green light combinations indicate learning and forwarding of signals.
-Cable zone indicators show when a wired zone detector sends a signal.
7. DIP Switch Settings
**DIP Switch Settings**
The transmitter has six DIP switches: Z4, Z5, 4.7M, 3.3M, 2.2M, 1.5M.
- Z4/Z5 control zones 4 and 5 (NO or NC for wired detectors).
- 4.7M, 3.3M, 2.2M, and 1.5M select detectors based on chip resistance.
Settings:
- 1.5M ON: 2262 chip (1.5M)
- 2.2M ON: 2262 (2.2M) & 1527 (150K)
- 3.3M ON: 2262 (3.3M) & 1527 (220K)
- 4.7M ON: 2262 (4.7M) & 1527 (330K)
Multiple switches can be ON simultaneously to forward various detector types.
8. Wired Zone Connection
**Wired Zone Connection**
The Z09 converter has two cable zones, Z4 and Z5, which can be normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
- Connect Z4 (or Z5) and GND to the cable detector output.
- Set the DIP switch to NO if the detector is normally open, or NC if normally closed.
When triggered, the Z09 sends a signal to the host. After successful learning, the Z09 sends a wireless signal immediately upon alarm activation.

10. Wireless Siren continues to sound when alarm is disarmed
If a wireless siren is out of range from the alarm panel and a sensor is triggered, the siren will sound, however in some instances, if the alarm panel is disarmed, the siren keeps sounding and will not turn off.
1. How Entry Sensors / Motion Sensors Work
- These are input devices.
- They detect an event (door opened, motion detected).
- Upon detection, they send an RF signal (one-way) to the alarm panel.
- The alarm panel receives the signal and reacts by sounding the alarm and sending out notifications.
- These sensors are one-way communicators: they only send signals when triggered — they do not receive commands from the panel.
2. How the Wireless Siren Works
- The wireless siren is an output device.
- It is first paired to the alarm panel, so the panel knows where to send signals.
- When a sensor triggers the panel, the alarm panel sends a command (RF signal) to the wireless siren to start sounding.
- When the system is disarmed, the alarm panel sends another command to the wireless siren to stop sounding.
- The siren acts on commands from the panel — meaning it is receiving signals, not sending them like sensors do.
In Summary:
- Sensors send signals to the alarm panel when triggered.
- Wireless sirens receive commands from the alarm panel when the alarm is triggered and when it is disarmed.
If a siren is at a relatively far distance from the Alarm Panel and the panel is Disarmed, sometimes the signal to turn off the siren cannot reach the siren. This can be solved my “pairing” the Gen 2 alarm panel with the RF repeater.
Instructions to add the alarm panel to the repeater.
1. Set the repeater in pairing mode
Go to this section 3. Operating - Learning the Entry Sensor and PIR MS
