RE108 Hardwire-to-GE
®
Wireless Translator™
Features
•
Converts hardwire zones into GE-compatible wireless signals.
•
8 Hardwire loops with end-of-line resistor detection.
•
Unique 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 MOUNT IN A METAL CAN.
•
DO NOT PUT POWER ON HARDWIRE TERMINALS.
•
Use 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 MOUNT 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.
