Advanced Setup
MOUNT AND WIRE
A Select a mounting position and location.
• Mount the translator at least 5 feet from the Control Panel’s
receiver.
• Do NOT mount the translator in a metal can or on a metal
surface.
• Verify adequate RF signal strength at the panel before
permanently mounting.
BConnect the power supply to the translator using either the
supplied barrel connector or ying leads.
• Rotate the barrel plug down to the right so the wires exit the
enclosure through the strain relief area.
• Ensure the backup battery connector is plugged into the
translator.
• Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
Ne pas se connecter à une prise contrôlée par un interrupt-
eur.
• In the United States, the transformer must be secured to
an outlet.
• In Canada, the transformer must NOT be secured to the
outlet.
TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION
ASelect the brand of panel that the translator must talk to
using the “PANEL SELECT” knob.
B Select the brand of sensors that the translator must listen to
using the “SENSOR SELECT” knob.
C Sensor Conguration: The translator must learn the sensors
that are to be translated or repeated.
a) Press and release the CONFIGURE button to enter
translator conguration mode. The yellow LED will turn on
when translator conguration mode is entered.
b) Tamper or trip all sensors to be included in the system. The
translator beeps for each sensor that is included in the
system.
c) Press CONFIGURE button to exit translator conguration
mode. The yellow LED will turn off when the translator
conguration mode is exited.
• Conguration mode ends automatically when the cover
is closed or 30 minutes after the last action.
• Sensors may be enrolled directly into the panel while in
conguration mode.
• Conguration mode is locked out 24 hours after power up.
To re-enable conguration mode, the translator must be
power cycled by removing both 12VDC input power and
backup battery for at least 5 seconds.
• When re-entering translator conguration mode, previously
congured sensors are retained. There is no need to re-
congure every sensor if the intention is to add a sensor.
• Conguration data is retained even if both the 12VDC
input power and battery backup power are lost.
• When both the panel and sensor selection knobs are set to
the same brand the translator will act as a repeater.
PANEL ENROLLMENT
AEnroll Translator into Panel:
• Trip the cover tamper to enroll the translator into the
panel.
-or-
• Enter ID into panel. The translator’s base ID is printed on
the bar code label.
(For Honeywell® and 2GIG® panels, select loop 1)
PANEL ENROLLMENT (continued)
BEnroll Sensors into panel:
• With the translator cover open, tamper or trip each sensor
to send an enrollable transmission to the panel.
• Finish setup of each sensor at the panel.
Below are guidelines on how to enroll the translator and
sensors into your panel. Refer to the panel installation manual
for complete panel instructions.
Interlogix ® (formerly GE ®)
ATranslator enrollment:
a) Enter Learn Sensor mode.
b) At the Trip Sensor prompt: Trip the translator’s cover
tamper to enroll the translator into the panel.
c) Select Group 13 instant perimeter
BSensor enrollment:
a) Enter Learn Sensor mode.
b) At the Trip Sensor prompt: Tamper each sensor to
enroll it. If the sensor does not have a tamper switch trip
the sensor with translator cover open to enroll it.
• For the rst 24 hours after power-up, all Interlogix
sensor trips will transmit a temporary tamper for
enrollment if the translator cover is open.
c) Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.
Honeywell ®
ATranslator enrollment:
a) Enter Programming mode.
• Zone Type: 3 (Perimeter).
• Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF).
b) When prompted:
• Trip the translator’s cover tamper multiple times.
-or-
• Enter the translator’s ID number, which is printed on
the unit.
c) Use loop 1 for translator itself.
BSensor enrollment:
a) Enter Programming mode.
• Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.
b) When prompted: Perform the typical Honeywell
enrollment sequence.
• The translator does not support multiple loops on
Honewell sensors. Ony one loop may be used.
2GIG ®
ATranslator enrollment:
a) Enter RF enrollment mode
• Sensor Type: (03) perimeter
• Equipment Code: For GC3, use (0873) Take-345.
For other panels, (0862) DW10-345 may also be used.
b) At “Enter RF Serial Number”:
• Press SHIFT, Learn, then trip the translator cover
tamper to enroll the translator
-or-
• Enter the translator’s ID number, which is printed on
the unit.
c) Equipment Age: (0) new
d) Loop Number: (1)
BSensor enrollment:
a) Enter RF enrollment mode.
b) Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.
c) When prompted, perform the typical 2GIG enrollment
sequence.

PANEL ENROLLMENT (continued)
DSC ®
ATranslator enrollment:
a) Enter Wireless Enrollment mode.
b) Trip the translator cover tamper to enroll the translator.
c) Zone Type: 03 (instant)
• For the rst 24 hours after power-up, all translator
tamper trips will send a temporary “open” for
enrollment purposes.
BSensor enrollment:
a) Enter Wireless Enrollment Mode.
b) Trip each sensor to initiate enrollment.
c) Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.
• Note, when translating to DSC, incoming sensors may
use only one input. For example, reed or external
contact, but not both.
Qolsys ®
• Qolsys IQ panel uses Interlogix 319.5MHz protocol.
• DSC Touch panel made by Qolsys uses DSC 433.92MHz
protocol.
FINISH
AWith the translator cover open, perform a panel sensor test.
• When the translator cover is open the translator will only
send sensor transmissions to the panel if the received sen-
sor transmissions have enough signal margin to be reliably
received by the translator.
• Closing the translator cover exits translator sensor test
mode. When the translator is not in sensor test mode all
received sensor transmissions are sent to the panel.
• Translator sensor test mode is locked out 24 hours after
power up. To re-enable sensor test mode, the translator
must be power cycled by removing both 12VDC input
power and backup battery for at least 5 seconds.
BClose the cover. Test and verify proper operation at the
panel. Ensure all sensor alarms are reported properly to the
central station.
C Translator Locking: Locking the translator locks all
translator conguration settings and provides takeover pro-
tection.
a) Ensure all sensors are functioning as desired.
b) Carefully review the effects of manual translator locking
before proceeding:
• Translator can not be factory defaulted.
• Existing sensor congurations can not be changed.
However, new sensors may be congured.
• Panel selection can not be changed.
• Sensor selection can not be changed.
• Manual translator LOCKING CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
c) Open the translator cover and cut the lock wire. The
green and red LED will ash, and the sounder will beep to
conrm.
• NOTE: If the lock wire is not cut, the translator will
automatically lock after 30 days of continuous operation.
The effects are the same as manual locking; however,
the automatic lock can be reset by power cycling the
translator while the cover is open.
D With the cover closed, insert the cover securing screw into the
screw hole near the cover latch.
Notes
SENSORS
• If the translator loses both 12VDC input power and battery back
up power, sensor conguration data is retained.
• Low battery, tamper, and supervisory signals are reported by the
translator on its ID.
• Low battery signals from the translator are suppressed in the rst
24 hours after power-up. However, a missing battery condition is
reported right away.
• The translator does not support multiple loops on Honeywell
sensors. Only one loop may be used, reed or external.
• When Sensor Select is set to 2GIG®, both Honeywell® and
2GIG® sensors will be translated or repeated.
• Honeywell® and Napco® Panic transmitters are not supported.
FAULT CONDITIONS
• 12VDC input overvoltage fault: Continually ashes and beeps on
the green LED and sounder.
• 12VDC input removed fault: Green LED turns off and the
sounder makes a long beep.
FACTORY DEFAULT
• To return the translator to a factory default condition, press and
hold the congure button. After a couple seconds, the sounder
will start beeping rapidly. Continue holding the button until the
sounder stops beeping.
• Factory default is not possible if the translator is locked.
