What is the Translator/Repeater used for?
The translator/repeater allows Tynetec/Aidcall 169MHz Telecare devices to be used with specific manufacturers 869.2125MHz warden call systems or at‐home alarm units, similarly it allows a specific manufacturers 869.2125MHz Telecare devices to be used with Tynetec/Aidcall 169MHz warden call systems, Nursecall systems or at‐home alarm units.
The translator/repeater performs all of the following functions:
169MHz Telecare peripherals translation to 869MHz
869MHz Telecare peripherals translation to 169MHz
169MHz range extender repeater (169MHz to 169MHz re‐transmission)
869MHz range extender repeater (869MHz to 869MHz re‐transmission)
i.e. when the translator/repeater receives a 169MHz Telecare signal it will retransmit on both 169MHz and 869MHz, when it receives an 869MHz Telecare signal it will retransmit on both 869MHz and 169MHz. The translator/repeater can therefore also be used as translator and range extender for 169MHz or manufacturer specific 869MHz Telecare devices.
Where should the Translator/Repeater be located?
The translator/repeater is normally free‐standing and can be simply placed on a table or shelf in the home, however it can also be permanently wall mounted. The translator/repeater is for internal use only – DO NOT SITE OUTDOORS. .
The translator/repeater must be within 3 metres of a mains supply otherwise a mains extension cable will be required, if an extension is used take care to ensure no one can trip on the lead.
Translator/Repeater Installation
Choose a suitable in‐door location approx. midway between the furthest point you want to achieve radio coverage and the at‐home alarm unit (or receiver on warden call/Nursecall systems).
Please note; the unit meets the EN300‐220 category 1 classification which is designed to reduce the effects of interference, but as with all radio transmissions, the range of the unit can be affected by environmental factors and building fabric. To confirm the operation of each device you must always test the translator/repeater in location with the peripheral devices that are being used.

Switch on the mains supply and the STATUS LED should illuminate STEADY GREEN ‐ if not does not light check the ON/OFF switch inside the battery cover is in the ON position.
Translator/Repeater Programming
Please note the unit can only be programmed within the first 5 minutes of power‐up. Press and hold the RED (()) button to cycle through the program mode options, as each option is reached the front status LED will flash RED. Release the button after the first flash to select option 1, release after the second flash to select option 2 etc.
Option 1: Enable/Disable the “Survey Mode” Audible Indication
If enabled the unit will “beep” whenever a radio signal is received – this should only be used during installation and testing. Press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FIRST RED FLASH. The number of beeps indicates if the “Survey Mode” audible indication is enabled or disabled; 1 beep = disabled (default setting), 2 beeps = enabled To toggle between enabled/disabled; press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FIRST RED FLASH again.
Option 2: Enable/Disable the “Signal Received” Visual Indication
If enabled the STEADY GREEN front status LED will FLASH OFF whenever a radio signal is received. Press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the SECOND RED FLASH. The number of beeps indicates if the “Signal Received” visual indication is enabled or disabled; 1 beep = disabled (default setting), 2 beeps = enabled To toggle between enabled/disabled; press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the SECOND RED FLASH again.
Option 3: Disable 169MHz or 869MHz Radio Receivers during Mains Failure
The unit’s internal radio receiver circuits can be turned‐off during a mains failure condition to save power and achieve best battery standby duration. Press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the THIRD RED FLASH. The number of beeps indicates if the current receiver settings; 1 beep = both 169MHz and 869MHz enabled (default), 2 beeps = 869MHz disabled, 3 beeps = 169MHz disabled To step through the settings; press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the THIRD RED FLASH again.
Option 4: Change the 169MHz Transmitter ID
In normal operating mode the unit’s RED (()) button can be pressed to activate an alarm call on the at‐home alarm unit. The translator/repeater has 4 different pre‐programmed radio ID’s; a different ID may need to be selected if two or more translator/repeaters are within radio range of each other. Press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FOURTH RED FLASH. The number of beeps indicates the current 169MHz radio ID setting; 1 beep = ID 920001 (default setting), 2 beeps = ID 920003, 3 beeps = ID 920005, 4 beeps = ID 920007 To step through the settings; press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FOURTH RED FLASH again. If you have more than 4 translator/repeater within range of each other please contact Tynetec’s Customer Services for advice.

Option 5: Enable/Disable Warden Call Mode
If the unit is being installed on an Advent xt warden call system then this mode should be enabled to increase the mask time and help prevent repeat alarms from the same device. Press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FIFTH RED FLASH. The number of beeps indicates if the “Advent xt Mode” is enabled or disabled; 1 beep = disabled, 2 beeps = enabled (30 second mask time) To toggle between enabled/disabled; press and hold the RED (()) button and release after the FIFTH RED FLASH again. Option 6: Factory Test Mode
This option is used to enter an automated testing programme and is not intended for service use.
Translator/Repeater Mounting Options
The translator/repeater is supplied with vertical stand for table mounting and a connector cover if the unit is being placed flat or wall mounted. Both are fixed with the single M3 x 8mm screw supplied in the packing tray. The cardboard carton has a wall mounting template on the inner flap. NOTE: when the unit is wall mounted the aerials are on the BOTTOM FACE.
Switching the Translator/Repeater Off
The translator/repeater uses very little power and should always be left switched ON. If it is necessary to switch the unit OFF follow the procedure below;
Turn the mains supply off and wait until the unit sounds “5 Beeps” and the front status LED FLASHES AMBER
5 Beeps…
Press and hold the RED (()) button until the unit “Beeps” once then release…
1 Beep
The translator/repeater is now turned OFF.
Translator/Repeater Battery Isolation Switch
The translator/repeater can be switched off if the unit is going to be stored or not used for a prolonged period. Remove the stand (if fitted) to access the battery cover on the rear.
Undo the screw, remove the battery cover and carefully
lift the battery pack out of its compartment.
Move the switch to the LEFT to turn the unit OFF. Refit the battery pack, battery cover and fixing screw.
Note: the battery pack will remain connected on a short wire when accessing the switch.

Using the Translator/Repeater with a Reach at‐home alarm unit
The translator/repeater must be registered onto the Reach at‐home alarm unit so an emergency call from the translator/repeater integral RED (()) button will be recognized. See below for how to enter “Learn Mode” on Reach at‐home alarms, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for other makes and models.
The range of all radio devices can be affected by the working environment ‐ always take care during installation and perform several test calls to ensure reliable operation.
Registering the Translator/Repeater onto a Reach at‐home alarm unit
1. Put the Reach unit into radio device learn mode…
2. Activate the translator/repeater…
3. Exit radio device learn mode…
4. Check with the Control Centre that it is convenient to perform a test call, activate the pendant within range of the translator/repeater and confirm they receive a pendant alarm call.
Using the Translator/Repeater with Warden Call/Nursecall Systems and Local Care Alarms
The translator/repeater does not need to be registered onto Advent xt warden call systems, Touchsafe Pro Nursecall systems or Altec Response local care alarms.
The translator/repeater simply re‐transmits any 169MHz/869MHz signal it receives within its range; this re‐transmission will then be picked‐up by the closest network receiver on a warden call/Nursecall system or the local care alarm unit.
There is no need to learn the RED (()) button onto the warden call, Nursecall or local care alarm as in these applications the translator/repeater itself it does not relate to a specific flat number.
Furthermore, in warden call, Nursecall or local care alarm applications, the translator/repeater will probably be wall mounted out of sight and the RED (()) button will never be used by a resident to initiate an alarm call.
