RE224DT DSC®-to-2GIG® Wireless Translator™
Features
• Listens to DSC protocol wireless devices: DWS, PIR, Glass Break, ob, Panic.
• Transmits Honeywell protocol wireless (directly usable by 2GIG panels).
• 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
• WILL NOT HEAR OLD DSC 900MHz SENSORS such as: WLS907 WLS915
WLS914 WLS909 WLS929. Key hint is if old DSC system had the PC5132-900
PC5132-RS (900) or PC5349 (900 & 433) Receiver.
• External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA. NON-SWITCHED outlet.
Wire polarity DOES NOT matter!
• Mount Translator at least 20 feet from Control Panel’s receiver.
• 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.
 To enroll any sensor:
• On panel go to ENTER R SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER.
• Press SHI T then LEARN.
• Trip the DSC sensor to enroll it in the panel.
 Enroll the Translator into a zone, because it sends check-in
supervisories, cover tamper and low battery messages.
• Sensor Type: (08) 24 Hour Aux Alarm
• Equipment Code: (0873) TAKE 345
• On panel go to ENTER R SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER.
• Press SHI T then LEARN.
• Trip Translator tamper switch to enroll it in panel
Loop 2 (although Loop # actually doesn’t matter)
Operation
• Existing DSC protocol sensors transmit as usual. Translator passes
information on to control panel as if they were 2GIG or Honeywell
transmitters.
• DSC ob buttons: Off/Home/Away/Panic
translate to 2GIG unctions: Disarm/Stay/Away/Aux

• 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 2GIG-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.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated po er
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une
antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de
réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne
et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate ith the antenna types listed belo ith the maximum permissible gain
and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use ith this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s'il fait
partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne
énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les
types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement
interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
