Wireless Translator™
Features
• Listens to Honeywell protocol wireless devices.
• Transmits DSC protocol wireless.
• Enrolls up to 63 devices.
• Unique wireless ESN for each zone, plus 1 for main device.
• All sensor alarm, supervisory and trouble signals are passed through.
• Dual antennas for both Receive and Transmit diversity for reliable range.
• Back-up battery operation.
• Complete supervision of tampers, external power supply fault and low
battery.
Key Instructions
• External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA.
• 3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
• Enrolling:
Sensor enrollment into Translator:
1. Press Enroll switch repeatedly until Device Type LED matches the
type of device you’re enrolling. ENROLLING AS WRONG DEVICE
TYPE CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION.
2. Activate particular Honeywell sensor as follows:
o PIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST
o Panic: Button
o Key Fob: Lower Right
o DWS: Tamper
3. Automatic responses:
o Green LED blinks indicating receipt of Honeywell-
compatible packets.
o Translator beeps indicating each enrollment into
Translator.
o Red LED blinks indicating transmit of DSC-compatible
packet to panel.
o The Translator transmits packets to the panel as soon as it
learns a new sensor. So the panel, if it’s in enroll mode,
will recognize the DSC-compatible packets. The DSC panel
then requires affirmation to accept the sensor.
NOTE: The ESNs that the DSC panel sees do not look
anything like the xxx-yyyy IDs on the Honeywell sensors.

Main Translator device enrolled into panel by tamper switch on the
board.
• Deleting sensors enrolled in Translator:
Delete all sensors:
1. Press enroll button repeatedly until all Device Type LEDs are off.
2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.
Delete one Device Type:
1. Press enroll button repeatedly until target Device Type LED is lit.
2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.
Operation
• Existing Honeywell protocol sensors transmit as usual. Translator passes
information on to control panel as if they were DSC transmitters.
Honeywell fob buttons: OFF / ON / Left / Right, translate to
DSC fob functions: OFF / AWAY / HOME / Panic
• Translator Module 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.
Translator Module does not send any alarm signals about itself.
• LED Operation
Green LED
• On if 12V DC power present.
• Blinks on receipt of Honeywell-compatible packets.
Red LED
• On if device low battery (unless there’s no 12V DC
power).
• Blinks on transmit of GE-compatible packets.
