HSM2HOST Installation Manual
1.1 Introduction
The HSM2HOSTxx two-way wireless transceiver adds wireless capability to PowerSeries Neo alarm controllers, model HS2128, HS2064,
HS2032 or HS2016. The HSM2HOSTx receives signals from wireless zones and wireless keys, and provides information to the alarm controller
it is connected to. This manual describes how to install, program and maintain the HSM2HOSTx.
Before installing:
1. Plan the placement and wiring of the security system (see system installation manual).
2. Install the control panel and optional modules.
3. Temporarily mount all wireless devices in the intended location.
1.1.1 Installation Process Overview
To install and set up the HSM2HOSTx and wireless devices:
1. Temporarily mount and wire the HSM2HOSTx module (section Choose a Mounting Location on page 2).
2. Enroll the HSM2HOSTx and first Wireless keypad (section Enroll The HSM2HOST on page 2).
3. Check the location for RF interference levels (section Wiring on page 2).
4. Enroll wireless devices (section [804]>[000] Enroll Wireless Devices on page 4).
5. Complete zone and other programming on the system (section [804]>[911]-[915] Modify Wireless Device Setup Options on page 6).
6. Test the placement of all the wireless devices (section [904] Placement Testing Wireless Devices on page 6).
7. Permanently mount the HSM2HOSTx and wireless devices (section Permanently Mount on page 3).
1.1.2 Controls & Indicators
Status LEDs
The LEDs on the front of the HSM2HOSTx provide feedback regarding the installation, operation and troubleshooting of the unit. The LEDs
function as follows:
Tamper
The HSM2HOSTx has separate built-in wall and case tampers. The case tamper is disabled by default on the NA version (enabled on EU ver-
sion). Section [804][510] 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 Residential Burglary applications.
Red LED Operation
Module Power Up: On steady during module power-up sequence then off.
Firmware Update: Slow flashing = update in progress
Rapid flashing = update failed
Very rapid flashing = update corrupt, contact distributor
Trouble Condition: • No trouble: 1 rapid flash every 10 seconds.
If troubles are present, a series of flashes occur every 2 seconds.
Each series of flashes indicate troubles as follows:
• 1 flash: Module not enrolled
• 2 flashes: Loss of contact with module for over 60 seconds
• 3 flashes: Corbus low voltage
• 7 flashes: Wireless network synchronization
• 8 flashes: RF interference (jam condition)
Module Confirmation: On steady during module confirmation process.
Placement Test: On steady when location is bad. Off when location is good.
Green LED Operation
Placement Test: On steady when location is suitable. Off when location is unsuitable.
NOTE: For UL/ULC listed systems, signal must be “Strong”. See
Table 2-9 Wireless Device Status Indications on page 7 for details.

HSM2HOST Installation Manual
1.1 Setup & Wiring
This section describes how to set up and wire the HSM2HOST module.
1.1.1 In the Box
Check that the following parts are in the package:
• HSM2HOST module
• Mounting hardware
• Installation manual
1.1.2 Choose a Mounting Location
NOTE: Permanently mount the HSM2HOST receiver and wireless devices AFTER placement testing each device (section Permanently Mount
on page 3).
Find a place that is
•dry,
• within operating temperature range,
• central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices,
• as high as possible. The range is reduced if mounted below ground level,
• far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise (computers, televisions, electric motors, appliances, heating and air conditioning
units), large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the electro-magnetic waves,
• smooth and free of obstructions that block access to the rear of the unit.
1.1.3 Connect the HSM2HOST
Caution: Remove all power (AC, DC, telephone lines) from the system while connecting modules to the Corbus.
1. With the alarm panel powered down, connect the HSM2HOST to the four-wire Corbus of the alarm panel according to Figure 1.
2. Once the wiring is complete, power up the security system.
Figure: 3 Wiring
1.1.4 Enroll The HSM2HOST
The HSM2HOST must be enrolled onto the alarm panel before any wireless devices can be enrolled.
At initial power-up of the alarm panel
When the alarm system is powered up for the first time, the first keypad or the HSM2HOST (if using a wireless keypad as the first keypad) can be
enrolled. To do this:
1. Once the HSM2HOST is wired to the alarm panel and power has been applied, power up a wireless keypad.
2. Press any button on the keypad to enroll it on the HSM2HOST. The HSM2HOST is then automatically enrolled on the alarm panel.
Alternately, enroll the HSM2HOST on the system at any time using the following procedure:
1. Enter Installer Programming section [902] > [000] (Auto Enroll All Modules). Modules are automatically detected in the following order:
2. When prompted, press [*] to enroll.
Alternately,
1. Enter Installer Programming section [902] > [001] (Enroll Modules).
2. When prompted, key in the serial number found on the back of the HSM2HOST. The module is enrolled.
1.1.5 Delete the HSM2HOST
To remove the HSM2HOST from the system:
1. Enter Installer Programming section [902] > [106] (Delete HSM2HOSTx).
2. Press [*] to delete.

1.1.6 Test HSM2HOST Location for RF Interference
The HSM2HOST performs best in locations where RF interference is minimal. To find a suitable mounting location:
• With the alarm panel powered up and the HSM2HOST enrolled, enter installer programming section [904]. Observe the status of the red LED.
If the red LED is on, interference levels are high and a new mounting location should be found. If the red LED is off, interference is low
and the location is good.
NOTE: For UL/ULC listed systems, signal must be “Strong”. See Table 2-9 Wireless Device Status Indications on page 7 for details.
1.1.7 Permanently Mount
Once a suitable location is found, mount the HSM2HOST as follows:
1. Pull the Corbus wires through the holes at the back of the cabinet.
2. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall using the supplied 3 (three) screws.
Figure: 3 Mounting the HSM2HOST
4. To enable the wall tamper, fasten the breakaway wall tamper bracket securely to the wall using the supplied screw.
1.1.8 Other Options
The following actions may be performed on the HSM2HOST.
Section Action
[902] > [106] Delete the HSM2HOST from the alarm system.
[903] > [106] Confirm that the HSM2HOST is enrolled.
[000] > [806] Add a label to appear on LCD keypads.
