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
Wire the zones.
• End of line resistors are not required.
• Normally closed zones may have end of line resistors up to
15k ohms.
• Normally open zones may have end of line resistors down
to 750 ohms.
• Do NOT put power on zone input terminals.
• The plastic loops along the bottom edge of the translator
housing may be used to secure the zone wiring with tie
wraps.
C
Connect 12VDC output to powered zones, if any.
• 12VDC output of the translator must be used to power any
powered zones. Do NOT use an external power supply to
power zones.
D
Connect the power supply to the translator using either the
supplied barrel connector or flying leads.
• Ensure the translator cover is open before power-up.
• Rotate the barrel plug down to the right so the wires exit the
enclosure through the strain relief area.
• Ensure the backup battery leads are plugged into the
translator.
• The power transformer must be plugged into a non-switched
outlet.
• In the United States, the transformer must be secured to
an outlet.
• In Canada, the transformer must NOT be secured to an
outlet.
TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION
A
Select the brand of panel that the translator must talk to
using the “PANEL SELECT” knob.
B
Configure Zones:
• Zone configuration is not necessary for installations with
normally closed zones that don’t require tamper detection.
Installations with other zone types: Follow steps below.
a) Put all zones into normal (non-alarm) state.
b) Press and release the CONFIGURE button to enter
translator configuration mode. The yellow LED will turn on
when translator configuration mode is entered. Zone
tamper will now be detected for the zones, and will be
transmitted to the panel as “alarm.”
c) If you want zone tamper to be transmitted to the panel as
“tamper” instead of “alarm,” cycle each zone to alarm and
back to normal while translator is in configuration mode.
The translator will beep to confirm as zones are cycled.
d) Press CONFIGURE button to exit translator configuration
mode. The yellow LED will turn off when the translator
configuration mode is exited.
• Normally closed zones can be cycled at the sensor, or by a
break-and-make at the connection to the translator.
• Normally open zones can be cycled at the sensor, or by a
shorting across the connection to the translator.
• Configuration mode ends automatically when the cover
is closed or 10 minutes after the last action.
TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION (continued)
• When re-entering translator configuration mode,
zones must be
in their normal state. However, previously programmed
settings are retained for each zone. There is no need to re-
configure every zone if the intention is to modify a subset of
the zones.
• Configuration mode is locked out 24 hours after power-up.
To re-enable configuration mode, the translator must be power-
cycled by removing both the 12VDC input power and backup
battery for at least 5 seconds.
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 and ends with a 0.
(For Honeywell® and 2GIG®
panels, select loop 1)
B
Enroll Zones into panel (non-Cryptix Installations):
• With the cover open, trip each zone to send an enrollable
zone transmission to the panel.
-or-
• Enter ID into panel. For non-powered zones, the zone ID is
the translator’s base ID with the last digit replaced with
zone number 1-8.
C
Finish setup of each zone at the panel. Below are guidelines
on how to enroll the translator and zones into your panel.
Refer to the panel installation manual for complete panel
instructions.
Cryptix ®
Translator and Zone enrollment:
Press the enroll button on the panel.
Trip the translator cover tamper to enroll the translator.
Finish setup of each zone at the online portal.
Interlogix ® (formerly GE ®)
Translator enrollment:
Enter Learn Sensor mode.
At the Trip Sensor prompt: Trip the translator cover tamper
to enroll the translator into the panel. Select Group based
on how you want translator tamper to be handled by the
panel. Below are recommended groups:
• Group 13 - Instant perimeter
• Group 23 - Local instant auxiliary
Zone enrollment:
Enter Learn Sensor mode.
At the Trip Sensor prompt: With the translator cover open,
trip each zone to enroll it.
• For the first 24 hours after powerup, all GE zone trips
will transmit a temporary tamper for enrollment if the
translator cover is open.
Honeywell ®
Translator enrollment:
Enter Programming mode.
Zone Type: 8 (24 hour Aux).
Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF).
When prompted, trip the translator cover tamper or enter
the ID number on the unit to enroll serial number.
Change the zone to loop 1.
Zone enrollment:
Enter Programming mode.
Set up the zone for the desired behavior.
When prompted, trip the zone.
Ensure loop 1 is selected.
