Wireless Translator™
Features
•Listens to DSC protocol wireless devices.
•Transmits GE protocol wireless.
•Enrolls up to 6 devices.
•Unique wireless ID (or loop) for each zone, plus 1 for main device.
•All sensor alarm, supervisory and trouble signals are passed through.
•Dual antennas for both Receive and Transmit diversity for reliable range.
•Back-up battery operation.
•Complete supervision of tampers, external power supply fault and low
battery.
Key Instructions
•External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA.
• AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
•Enrolling:
Sensors
1. Press Enroll switch repeatedly until Device Type LED matches
the type of device you’re enrolling. ENROLLING AS WRONG
DEVICE TYPE CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION.
2. Activate particular DSC sensor as follows:
oPIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST
oPanic: Button
oKey Fob: Lower Right
oDWS: Tamper
. Automatic responses:
oGreen LED blinks indicating receipt of DSC-compatible
packets.
oTranslator beeps indicating each enrollment into
Translator.
oRed LED blinks indicating transmit of GE-compatible
packet to panel.
oThe Translator transmits packets to the panel as soon as
it learns a new sensor. So the panel, if it’s in enroll
mode, will generally learn the GE-compatible packets
simultaneously.
Main device enrolled by tamper switch on the board. Suggest
enrolling in Group 10 in panel. Translator itself never alarms, but its
health needs to be monitored like a regular DWS.

•Deleting:
Delete all sensors:
1. Press enroll button repeatedly until all Device Type LEDs are
off.
2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.
Delete one Device Type:
1. Press enroll button repeatedly until target Device Type LED is
lit.
2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.
O eration
•Existing DSC protocol sensors transmit as usual. Translator passes
information on to control panel as if they were GE transmitters.
DSC fob: Lower left = Lights, lower right = panic (= GE
double button press), although can be non-alarm in panel.
•Translator Module Zone wireless transmission ( unique ID):
Tamper, when cover opened. Also sends restore.
Low battery, when low battery. Also sends restore.
Supervisory every hour. Supervisory stopped if 12V DC power absent.
Translator Module does not send any alarm signals about itself.
•LED Operation
Green LED
•On if 12V DC power present.
•Blinks on receipt of DSC-compatible packets.
Red LED
•On if device low battery (unless there’s no 12V DC
power).
•Blinks on transmit of GE-compatible packets.

IC Notice
This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications/Le présent
materiel est conforme aux specifications techniques applicables d’Industrie Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication.
