Wireless Translator™
Features
•
Listens to DSC protocol wireless devices: DWS, PIR, Glass Break, Fob, 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 RF SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER.
•
Press SHIFT 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 RF SENSOR SERIAL NUMBER.
•
Press SHIFT 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 Fob buttons:
Off/Home/Away/Panic
translate to 2GIG Functions:
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.
