Overview
2GIG 345 MHz repeater — retransmits sensor signals to improve RF coverage in large or obstructed installations (RPTR1 / encrypted RPTR1e).
On 2GIG systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.

What This Device Does Well
Provides reliable supervised status at the panel and Alarm.com when installed, enrolled, and range-tested correctly.
Before You Service or Replace One
- Sensor SKU — standard 345 MHz vs eSeries encrypted vs ePlus 900 MHz.
- Panel online — resolve panel AC/cell trouble before blaming sensor.
- Range — repeaters (RPTR1) or transceivers (XCVR2) for distant zones.
- Battery type — use listed cell; replace all batteries in multi-cell devices.
- Tamper — cover fully closed before declaring hardware fault.

Pre-install checklist
- Confirm panel model (GC2/GC3/Edge) and encryption requirements.
- Verify dealer cell account and module SKU before cell install.
- Document installer code and existing zone map for takeover jobs.
- Plan antenna routing (ANT5XL) when panel location has poor cell RSSI.
- Have listed batteries and tools for sensor mounts before enrollment.
Typical install sequence
- Mount and power panel; apply firmware updates per dealer bulletin.
- Install cell module and run communication test / Alarm.com activation.
- Enroll wireless sensors via installer Learn mode; label zones.
- Include Z-Wave devices after excluding from any prior hub.
- Install transceiver/repeater hardware before distant ePlus or fringe sensors.
- Run walk test, user code training, and central station test if monitored.
