RE220 Repeater Translator™, Honeywell
®
-Compatible
Features
•
Listens to distant Honeywell-protocol wireless devices, and re-transmits
them to control panel.
•
Extends range of system.
•
No sensor enrollment required.
•
Received IDs are passed on unchanged to panel. 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 increased
range.
•
Back-up battery protects during loss of external power.
Key Instructions
•
External supply: 12V DC, recommend 30+ mA.
•
3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
•
Enrolling:
Distant sensors may be enrolled into Honeywell system as
normal.
If trouble supervision of the Translator itself is desired,
assign the Translator to a zone for sending check-in
supervisories, cover tamper and low battery messages.
•
Zone Type: 8 (24 hour Aux) – When cover opened:
“fault” when system not armed, “alarm” when
system armed.
•
Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF), Loop: 1
•
When prompted, toggle the tamper switch to enroll
the serial number.
Main device does not need to be enrolled in the panel for
the repeating function to work.
•
Never put more than one Repeater in a Honeywell installation.
Operation
•
Translator hears distant Honeywell protocol sensors and repeats
information to control panel. Generally, sensors send 8 identical

“packets” of information. The Translator ensures that a complete set of
8 packets are repeated to the control panel.
•
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 AC power present.
•
Blinks on receipt of Honeywell-compatible packets.
Red LED
•
On if device low battery (unless there’s no AC
power).
•
Blinks on transmit of Honeywell-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). Because of this, it tends to more than
double the distance the remote sensor can be from the
panel.
Place the Repeater generally half-way between distant
sensor and panel.
Translator may also hear and repeat sensors that are close
to panel… panel will simply hear the close sensor signals
again. It is extremely rare that this will cause any
problem.
