Introduction
The HSM2HOSTx two-way wireless transceiver adds wireless capability to PowerSeries Neo alarm
controllers, model HS2128, HS2064, HS2032 or HS2016. This manual describes how to install, program
and maintain the HSM2HOST. Note that only one HSM2HOST or one RFK keypad can be enrolled
on the alarm system.
Controls and Indicators
Status LEDs
The LEDs on the front of the HSM2HOST provide feedback regarding the installation, operation and
troubleshooting of the unit. The LEDs function as follows:
Red LED Operation

Green LED Operation
PlacementTest: On steady when location is suitable. Off when location is unsuit-
able.
Note: For UL/ULC listed systems, signal must be “Strong”. See
Wireless Device Status Indications on page 10 for details.
Tamper
The HSM2HOST has separate built-in wall and case tampers. The case tamper is disabled by default
on the NA version (enabled on EU version).
Section [804][810] option 3 enables or disables the case tamper. Enable or disable the wall tamper by
fastening the breakaway wall tamper bracket securely to the wall using one of the supplied screws.
The case tamper activates when the case is opened and restores when the case is closed. The wall
tamper on the back of the unit is depressed by the mounting surface when properly installed. If the unit
is removed, the tamper activates. Ensure the mounting surface is smooth and free of obstructions that
block access to the rear of the unit. Electrical wires should not run over or under the module when it is
mounted.
Note: The built in wall and case tamper must be installed and enabled for UL/ULC listed Commercial/
Residential Burglary applications.

WARNING – READ CAREFULLY
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system
users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of
the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are cir-
cumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it
may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised
deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not
all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection.
Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all
access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must
be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building
materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of pro-
tection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activ-
ity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this
service is available.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of
manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques
which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system
be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be
updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing
device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, dis-
connect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the
system.
Power Failure

Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices
require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from
batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they
must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only
by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative
while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accom-
panied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a
security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a com-
plete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of bat-
tery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device
environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or
low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery
life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when
the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular
testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal
objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent
radio signal interference.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to per-
manent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfa-
miliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the
correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the
system indicates an alarm.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a
fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have
been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side
of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level
of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning.
Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not
provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as
smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or
death.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their
respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and inten-
ded occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They
have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed
areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls,
ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of
tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying
of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection
system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature.
However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near
or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat
in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators,
stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or
waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices
are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the
occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered
with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or
other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not
be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for
certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its oper-
ation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occu-
pants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to
the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not
occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the
system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can
be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested
weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an
earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the
premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indic-
ating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life
insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or
other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an
emergency situation.
