Advanced Setup

MOUNT AND WIRE

A  

Select a mounting position and location.

•  Mount the translator at least 5 feet from the Control Panel’s 

    receiver.    

•  Do NOT mount the translator in a metal can or on a metal 

    surface.

•  Verify adequate RF signal strength at the panel before 

    permanently mounting.

B

  Connect the power supply to the translator using either the 

supplied barrel connector or flying leads. 

•  Rotate the barrel plug down to the right so the wires exit the 

enclosure through the strain relief area.

•  Ensure the backup battery connector is plugged into the 

translator.

•  Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. 

Ne pas se connecter à une prise contrôlée par un interrupt-

eur.

•  In the United States, the transformer must be secured to

an outlet.  

•  In Canada, the transformer must NOT be secured to the 

outlet.

TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION

A

  Select the brand of panel that the translator must talk to

using the “PANEL SELECT” knob.

 Select the brand of sensors that the translator must listen to

using the “SENSOR SELECT” knob.

C

  Sensor Configuration:  

The translator must learn the sensors

that are to be translated or repeated.

a) 

Press and release the CONFIGURE button to enter

translator configuration mode.  The yellow LED will turn on 

when translator configuration mode is entered.  

b) Tamper or trip all sensors to be included in the system.  The

translator beeps for each sensor that is included in the 

system.

c) 

Press CONFIGURE button to exit translator configuration

mode. The yellow LED will turn off when the translator 

configuration mode is exited.

•  Configuration mode ends automatically when the cover

is closed or 30 minutes after the last action.

 

•  Sensors may be enrolled directly into the panel while in 

configuration mode.

 

•  Configuration mode is locked out 24 hours after power up.  

To re-enable configuration mode, the translator must be 

power cycled by removing both 12VDC input power and 

backup battery for at least 5 seconds.

•  When re-entering translator configuration mode, previously 

configured sensors are retained.  There is no need to re-

configure every sensor if the intention is to add a sensor.

•  Configuration data is retained even if both the 12VDC 

input power and battery backup power are lost.  

•  When both the panel and sensor selection knobs are set to 

the same brand the translator will act as a repeater.

PANEL ENROLLMENT

A

  Enroll

 Translator into Panel:

•  Trip the cover tamper to enroll the translator into the 

panel.

-or-

• 

 Enter ID into panel. The translator’s base ID is printed on

the bar code label.   

(For 

Honeywell® and 2GIG®

 

panels, select loop 1)

PANEL ENROLLMENT (continued)

B

  Enroll Sensors

 into panel:

•  With the translator cover open, tamper or trip each sensor 

to send an enrollable transmission to the panel.  

•  Finish setup of each sensor at the panel.

Below are guidelines on how to enroll the translator and 

sensors into your panel.  Refer to the panel installation manual 

for complete panel instructions.

Interlogix ® (formerly GE ®)

A

  

Translator enrollment:

a) Enter Learn Sensor mode.

b) 

At the Trip Sensor prompt:  Trip the translator’s cover 

tamper to enroll the translator into the panel.  

c) 

Select Group 13 instant perimeter

B

  

Sensor enrollment:

a) Enter Learn Sensor mode.

b) 

At the Trip Sensor prompt:  Tamper each sensor to

enroll it.  If the sensor does not have a tamper switch trip 

the sensor with translator cover open to enroll it.

•  For the first 24 hours after power-up, all Interlogix 

sensor trips will transmit a temporary tamper for 

enrollment if the translator cover is open.

c) Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.

Honeywell ®

A

  

Translator enrollment:

a) Enter Programming mode. 

•  Zone Type: 3 (Perimeter).

•  Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF).

b) 

When prompted:

•  Trip the translator’s cover tamper multiple times.

-or- 

•  Enter the translator’s ID number, which is printed on 

the unit.

c) 

Use loop 1 for translator itself.  

B

  

Sensor enrollment:

a) Enter Programming mode.

•  Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.

b) 

When prompted: Perform the typical Honeywell

enrollment sequence.

•  The translator does not support multiple loops on 

Honewell sensors.  Ony one loop may be used.

2GIG ®

A

  

Translator enrollment:

a) Enter RF enrollment mode

•  Sensor Type: (03) perimeter

•  Equipment Code: For GC3, use (0873) Take-345.

For other panels, (0862) DW10-345 may also be used.

b) 

At “Enter RF Serial Number”:

•  Press SHIFT, Learn, then trip the translator cover

tamper to enroll the translator

-or-

•  Enter the translator’s ID number, which is printed on 

the unit.

c) 

Equipment Age: (0) new

d) 

Loop Number:  (1)

B

  

Sensor enrollment:

a) Enter RF enrollment mode.

b) Set up the sensor for the desired behavior.

c) 

When prompted, perform the typical 2GIG enrollment 

sequence.
