RE108 Hardwire-to-GE® Wireless Translator™
Features
• Converts hardwire zones into GE-compatible wireless signals.
• 8 Hardwire loops with end-of-line resistor detection.
• nique wireless ID for each zone, plus 1 for main device.
• Transmit diversity for long reliable range.
• PIR/Glassbreak powering (via external supply).
• 3 year operation on batteries (monitoring contacts only).
• Complete supervision of zone tampers and low battery.
Key Instructions
• DO NOT MO NT IN A METAL CAN.
• DO NOT P T POWER ON HARDWIRE TERMINALS.
• se with normally closed contacts in-line with 4.7 K-ohms resistors (mandatory).
• Not for use with life safety devices, such as Smoke or CO sensors.
• External supply requirements:
 Contacts-only installations may use wall plug power supply (see specifications)
 Installations with PIRs or Glassbreaks (powered devices) require battery-
backed external power supply (see diagram).
 Without backed-up power, PIRs or Glass Breaks could alarm when
power is lost.
 Translator AA batteries drive contacts only, and do not drive
powered devices.
 Ensure that external supply has sufficient current to supply all
powered devices including Translator.
 4-wire powered devices only. Not for use with 2-wire powered
devices.
 If using old panel as the battery-backed 12V DC supply, verify supply
and battery operation. DO NOT MO NT TRANSLATOR IN OLD CAN… the wireless will not
get out!
Installation
• Hook up PIR and Glass Break power lines to external power supply.
• Alarm contact hook-up:
 Works only with normally-closed contacts (alarm = open).
 Remove any existing end-of-line resistors.
 Connect 4.7K end-of-line resistor (included) IN-LINE with contact.
 Resistor should NOT be across (between) terminals.
• Enrollment:
 Put Panel in Learn Sensor mode.
 When panel asks to “Trip Sensor”, short (tamper) each loop to enroll it. You
can use a piece of wire or needle nose pliers between the terminal screws.
 To enroll Translator itself, press tamper switch on Translator.
 Select Group based on how you want Translator tamper to report:
• Group 10 will report Translator tamper to central station on
next supervisory. Tamper will cause protest at arming.
• Group 36 will alarm and report Translator tamper to central
station immediately.

Operation
• 8 Hardwire 4.7K-ohm Zones – transmit 8 unique wireless IDs:
Alarm, when device sees open circuit.
Tamper, when device sees short circuit.
Supervisories, every hour for each zone.
• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission (9th unique ID):
Tamper, when cover opened.
Low battery, when either low AA batteries, OR loss of 12V DC external.
Supervisory every hour.
• LED Operation
Green LED: On if AC power present.
Red LED: When 12V DC is present: “Blinks” on transmit to panel;
“on” if device tamper or device low battery.
Specifications
GE Device Type: Same as Std DWS (all 8 zone ID’s and device ID)
Transmitter Type: Talks to SAW and Crystal receivers.
Zone sensing duration: State sensed if held more than 600ms.
End-of-line Resistors: 4.7k-ohm, 5%.
Max wire run: 1000 feet.
Backup batteries: Two AA Alkaline.
External supply: 8.5 to 13 VDC or 6-9 VAC
Standard: Resolution RE012: 12VDC, 50mA.
Optional: GE 60-898-ITI, for securing screw
Wire connection polarity DOESN’T matter!
Current draw with supply: 4mA, normal operation.
PIR usage: PIR may need tight voltage tolerance. Add PIR and
device current requirements together to get total
current need.
AC Fail Indication: Translator ID sends Low Battery signal if its external
12V is gone for 15 minutes. Restores on external 12V
restore.
AA Low Battery Conditions: Low battery for 1 minute. Restores on device
tamper, external 12V restore.
AA Battery Life on AC Fail: 3-5 years, when monitoring contacts.
Housing dimensions: 4x6x1 inches
Specifications subject to change without notice.
