miPos2 Repeater
Installation and Operation Manual
Overview
The imposition BTLE Repeater offers advanced functionality for determining the location of a Pendant or Asset Tag within a range of 15 meters (45 feet) with a linear RSSI reading for determining the distance from the Repeater. A Three Radio arrays – Bluetooth for imposition – LR 2.4Ghz for Emergency TX/RX – LoRa 915MHz for Gateway Communications TX/RX. Also, support up to 48 hours of battery backup in the event of loss of main power.

Installation and Startup an Installation Notes
- These products are designed to be maintained by certified technicians.
- Products are intended for indoor use, if installing them outdoors they must be housed in a water-resistant plastic enclosure.
- The repeater can be powered by the 12-24VDC local or centralized power supply, centralized power is recommended if installation requires more than 48 of battery back-up.
- The repeater is shipped with two 3.6VDC custom lithium AA cells not installed. Battery is for battery backup use only.
- All products should be manually tested monthly. “Test the Transmitter/Receiver section”.
Mounting Instructions
- These products are designed to be installed by certified technicians.
- Remove the cover by using a flat tool to unlock the right side tab.
- Using two screws not provided mount Repeater to wall or ceiling surface
Powering Repeater
- Connect appropriate 12-24VDC power, local or centralized power supply, centralized power is recommended if installation requires more than 48 of battery back-up.
- The repeater is shipped with two 3.6VDC custom lithium AA cells not installed. The battery is for battery backup use only.
Re-Installing Tamper Cover
- Connect appropriate 12-24VDC power, local or centralized power supply, centralized power is recommended if installation requires more than 48 of battery back-up.
- The repeater is shipped with two 3.6VDC custom lithium AA cells not installed. The battery is for battery backup use only.
Custom 3.6v AA Battery Installation / Replacement
Remove the cover by using a flat tool to unlock the right side tab, this will automate sending Tamper Alarm condition to the server. Install or replace with miller 3.6VDC certified batteries only.
Test Repeater for the Pendant TX/RX
Broadcast Alarm to Server via Gateway
To send an alarm: Press the Pendant button for at least one second, Repeater will receive the Alarm signal and will broadcast this information to Gateway. The server will acknowledge receipt and send back via Repeater this acknowledgment to the Pendant.
- When activated, the pendant LED will be red to indicate an Alarm is being sent
- The Pendant will receive an acknowledgment from the Repeater and will blink red Pendant LED for 2 msec. every 3 sec.
Repeater imposition & Check-in Heartbeat
When the Pendant is moving the accelerometer will enable the Pendant to look for a new Repeater, once the Pendant comes into range of a new Repeater it will signal via BTLE radio its ID and RSSI.
The Pendant also sends a check-in message to the Repeater every 60 minutes for the purposes of supervision via the BTLE radio. The Pendant must be registered and supervised, the Pendant should be tested after registration to ensure operation. The Repeater will send the Pendant an acknowledgment signal to confirm check-in supervision has been received.
- When activated, the pendant LED will be red to indicate an Alarm is being sent
- The Pendant will receive an acknowledgment from the Repeater and will blink red Pendant LED for 2 msec. every 3 sec.
Caution: The Pendant must have a supervision window of no more than 12 hours to avoid not discovering a missing device within 24 hours.
Device LED Indicators
| LED Pattern | Red | Blue | Status |
| 1 | OFF | ON | Normal standby working state |
| 2 | LED on for short burst 50ms | OFF | Send Ack to Pendant/ Device for imposition or Heartbeat |
| 3 | OFF | ON | Repeater Receive Pendant/Device Alarm or Heatbeat |
| 4 | OFF | It Blinks 500ms and off every 1sec | An alarm was received from Pendant/Device but no Ack from Gateway |
Note: Users that have achieved certification and will install UL 2560 certified systems are responsible for labeling all fundamental devices with the UL 2560 system certification mark. Use compatible Repeater and appropriate Gateway for UL 2560 installations.
Note: miller supports recycling and reuse whenever possible. Please recycle these parts using a certified electronics recycler.
Note: For UL 2560 installations, miller repeaters must have 20 minute check-in times. miller transmitters must have a minimum of 60 minute check-in times.
Note: In a UL 2560 installation the miller Pendants must be used to complete emergency call systems for assisted living and independent living facilities.
For UL 2560 certified system installations, the following miAlert devices are approved for installation within maximum system configuration limits defined in section 1.b of this document:
Battery Handling
If you are installing the custom 3.6VDC batteries, keep the batteries from coming into contact with each other to prevent discharge.
Repeater Shipping
Both lithium-ion and lithium-metal battery types are subject to transportation regulations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG), US Department of Transportation (DOT), and UN Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
