Wireless Translator™
Features
•Listens to DSC protocol wireless devices: DWS, PIR, Glass Break, Fob, Panic.
•Transmits Honeywell protocol wireless.
•No sensor enrollment required.
•All sensor alarm, supervisory and trouble signals are passed through.
•Main device has its own unique ID for supervisories, complete reporting
of main device tamper, external power supply fault and low battery.
•Dual antennas for both Receive and Transmit diversity for reliable range.
•Back-up battery protects during loss of external power.
Key Instructions
•External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA.
•3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
•Enrolling:
Power the Translator. It starts translating immediately.
Sensors are NOT enrolled in the Translator.
DSC sensors may be enrolled into Honeywell system using
the tripping enrollment mode. They are not enrolled in the
Translator.
Enroll the Translator into a zone, because it sends check-in
supervisories, cover tamper and low battery messages.
•Zone Type: 8 (24 hour Aux) – When cover opened:
“fault” when system not armed, “alarm” when
system armed.
• Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF), Loop: 1
•When prompted, toggle the tamper switch to enroll
the serial number.
O eration
•Existing DSC protocol sensors transmit as usual. Translator passes
information on to control panel as if they were Honeywell transmitters.
•DSC Fob buttons: Off/Home/Away/Panic
translate to Honeywell Buttons: Off/On/Left/Right [Loops 2/3/4/1]

•Translator Main 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.
•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 Honeywell-compatible packets.
•Application Diagram
Because the Translator has two antennas, for both receive
and transmit diversity, it will generally have better range
than all sensors, and many panels (particularly those with
internal antennas).
Place the Translator generally in the center of the all the
existing sensors it needs to hear. It will have no problem
reaching the control panel.

FCC Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference that may be received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the Resolution Products, Inc. could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC ID: U5X-RE224
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.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 2 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than
2 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance
is 50 ohms.
- Resolution-supplied 8.5" monopole antenna
