Page 1 of 2 L-INST-LVDC SE 092707 LOW VOLTAGE DC SYSTEM EXTENDER INSTALLATION Install Switches in a Fraction of the Time ... at a Fraction of the Cost TM How System Extenders Work A Lightning ® System Extender acts as a "Repeater" to help your Transmitter's coded signals to reach the desired Receiver(s). The System Extender will repeat any Lightning ® coded signal that it hears. However, only the particular Receiver(s) that have already been "trained" to react to a coded signal will respond to the signal. One or more System Extenders can be used to extend the range of a system and/or to increase the probability of "hitting" Receivers that have been marginally receiving the desired signal. There are two kinds of System Extender: 120V AC Plug-In and Low-Voltage DC Wire-In. These instructions are for the Low Voltage DC Wire-In System Extender. The Low Voltage System Extender will operate on any DC voltage between 6-30 V. This low voltage is defined by agencies such as Underwriters Laboratories as “inherently safe”, so the Low Voltage System Extender can be mounted almost anywhere. You can provide the System Extender with power from an “AC Adapter” that plugs into or is wired into AC power, or you can use a “Power Pack” that incorporates a DC power supply. You can also use batteries or any other source of DC power that you find convenient for your application. The Low Voltage System Extender can be used with either of two different housings: A small rectangular housing or a hemispherical housing. Either one will perform satisfactorily. The difference between the two housings is strictly cosmetic. The hemispherical version looks like a small smoke detector and is designed to mount on a ceiling. The rectangular housing is designed to be used for all other applications. Installing System Extenders If you need to extend the range of a Lightning Switch ® system, the ideal location for the System Extender is usually at the center of the array of Transmitter(s) and Receiver(s). For instance, if the system includes one Transmitter and one Receiver, you would want to locate the Extender about halfway between the two. This approach requires that power be available at the location that you wish to install the Extender. However, even if no power is available anywhere between the Transmitter and the Receiver, (such as between a house and a barn, dock, or detached garage) you can still improve the range and “hit rate” of your system by taking advantage of the exceptional receive/transmit capability of the System Extender. You can do this by wiring a System Extender into electrical power near either the Receiver (preferred) or Transmitter (secondary method). If the System Extender is near the Receiver, its extremely sensitive circuitry will enable it to hear faint signals that might be missed by the Receiver, and the Extender will then retransmit the ID Code to the nearby Receiver. Similarly, because the Lightning ® System Extender transmits the ID Code at a higher signal strength than the Lightning ® Transmitter does, the range and hit probability will both be increased when the Extender repeats a signal that it hears from a nearby Transmitter. Maximizing System Performance There are several things you can do in order to achieve maximum system performance. 1. Mount it up high. The Low Voltage DC System Extender is ideally suited for mounting on or above a ceiling. Regardless of line-of-sight obstructions, a System Extender that is mounted higher generally performs better than one that is mounted relatively low. 2. Try to position the System Extender where it has the fewest obstructions between it and the Transmitters and Receivers that it services. Although the coded radio signal will penetrate walls and even metal plates, each obstruction reduces the signal strength at least a little. For example, you wouldn't want to mount the Extender behind a heavy metal object like a refrigerator. 3. If your system is particularly large or if a great deal of RF noise is present, you might consider adding one or more additional System Extenders. Since a System Extender will repeat any valid ID Lightning ® Code, whether that code comes from a Transmitter or another System Extender, you can "chain" two or more System Extenders to create a very large and highly efficient system. Installing more than one System Extender Each System Extender comes from the factory ready to use - just wire it in and you're ready to go. But if you use more than one System Extender in the same system, you should "Set Up" the Extenders so they’ll work more efficiently together. To do this, simply wire in the new System Extender, wait 5 seconds for it to initialize and then press the "Set Up" button one time. The new Extender will check if any other System Extenders are already present and the entire system will self-adjust for optimal performance. It’s not necessary to press the "Set Up" button again on System Extenders that had already been installed. ® Page 2 of 2 L-INST-LVDC SE 092707 10 Year Limited Warranty Lightning ® products are warranted by PulseSwitch Systems, LC to be free of defects in materials and workmanship at the time of sale within 10 years of the delivery of the product.

Page 2 of 21 1 General Information 1.1 Notes The purpose of conformity testing is to increase the probability of adherence to the essential requirements or conformity specifications, as appropriate. The complexity of the technical specifications, however, means that full and thorough testing is impractical for both technical and economic reasons. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a test sample which has Passed all the relevant tests conforms to a specification. Neither is there any guarantee that such a test sample will interwork with other genuinely open systems. The existence of the tests nevertheless provides the confidence that the test sample possesses the qualities as maintained and that is performance generally conforms to representative cases of communications equipment.
