SBP2442RF phase bridge for home automation

AccessLinc TM Bridges Insteon Signals Between Wireless and Powerline For models: 2442 AccessLinc RF Bridge 2442 July 15,04_web.qxd 7/15/2004 10:59 AM Page 1 Congratulations! Thanks for purchasing and installing the AccessLinc™ for Insteon TM products. This simple, plug-in device is designed to bridge Insteon signals between the AC power- line and wireless devices. By plugging in a single AccessLinc, Insteon signals can be easily bridged (or converted) between wireless radio frequencies (RF) and powerline signals. When two AccessLinc Interfaces are used in a home, they will also act as powerline signal repeaters. This allows Insteon powerline signals transmitted on one phase of a home's electrical system to be automatically repeated and placed on the opposite phase. Since most homes in North America have two lines of electricity coming in from the power company, getting the powerline signals between phases can often be difficult. By using two or more AccessLinc Interfaces, this problem is easily elimi- nated. Key Features • Bridges RF to RF, RF to powerline, and powerline to RF • Provide powerlinc phase coupling when 2 or more are used • Allows wireless devices to communicate long distances over the powerline • Uses the reliable 900MHz band for good through-wall transmissions • Solves RF “dead spots” • Unlimited expansion to support large or complicated installations • Pass-through outlet for any AC device • Diagnostic LED aid setup and diagnostics • Advanced features adjustable over the powerline via computer software • FCC and ETA approved. Manufactured in an ISO 9001:2000 facility What is Insteon? Insteon is a new method of communications between home automation devices. By using the latest technologies, Insteon communications are faster, more secure, and reliable than traditional signaling methods. The signals can travel over 900 MHz wireless and on the AC powerline. Insteon-based products are backwards compati- ble with the popular X10 powerline standard. With only a few affordable Insteon- based products, a home can be quickly and easily set up to make your life for con- venient, safe, and fun. 2 2442 July 15,04_web.qxd 7/15/2004 10:59 AM Page 2 Quick Start Instructions Single Interface1. Plug in the AccessLinc Interface The Status LED will illuminate steady (see page 4 for more detailed instructions) Two Interfaces1. Plug in the first AccessLinc Interface 2. Tap the SET button, the Status LED will begin to blink 3. Plug in the second AccessLinc Interface 4. Tap the SET button, observe the Status LED: LED blinks then goes steady on OK LED blinks slowly Interfaces on the same phase - move one interface LED is blinking rapidly Interfaces are too far apart, move them closer together (see pages 4 for more detailed instructions) FCC Compliance Statement This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received or that may cause undesired operation. The digital circuitry of this device has been tested and found to comply with the lim- its for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in resi- dential installations. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequen- cy energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the fol- lowing measures: • Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna of the device experiencing the interference. • Increase the distance between the AccessLinc and the receiver. • Connect the device to an AC outlet on a circuit different from the one that supplies power to the receiver. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 3 2442 July 15,04_web.qxd 7/15/2004 10:59 AM Page 3 Installing AccessLinc AccessLinc Interfaces can be easily installed in any home with conventional 3-prong AC outlets. • When a single AccessLinc is installed, it functions independently by simply pro- viding a bridge between wireless and powerline devices. • When two units are used and installed on differentelectrical phases, the AccessLinc Interfaces will provide signal bridging. AccessLinc uses its Status LED to help you find the ideal outlet so that the inter- faces communicate between each other and provide signal bridging on the AC pow- erline. Please see "Tips for Using AccessLinc" on page 6 for hints to make your installation more successful. Single Unit Installation 1. Plug in the AccessLinc Interface into an unswitched outlet 2. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady 3. Verify operation by sending some powerline or wireless Insteon signals; the Status LED will briefly flicker Two-Unit Installation and Establishing a Wireless Link Install the first AccessLinc 1. Locate an unswitched outlet on one side of the house and plug in the first AccessLinc Interface 2. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady 3. Tap the SET button, the Status LED will begin to blink Install the second unit 4. Locate an unswitched outlet on the other side of the house and plug in the sec- ond AccessLinc Interface 5. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady 6. Tap the SET button and observe the Status LED A. If the LED blinks then goes steady on - OK (the two modules are on opposite phases and can talk to each other) B If LED blinks slowly, the two interfaces are within wireless range of eac…
