Wireless Translator™
Features
• Converts hardwire zones into Honeywell-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 powering (via external supply).
• 3 year operation on batteries (contacts only).
• Complete supervision of zone tampers and low battery.
Key Instructions
• Use with normally closed contacts in-line with 4.7 K-ohms end-of-line resistors.
• Not for use with life safety devices, such as Smoke or CO sensors.
• External supply requirements (wall-AC): 12V DC at least 50 mA.
• PIR & Glassbreak (powered devices) usage:
4-wire devices only. Not for use with 2-wire powered devices.
2 AA back-up batteries will drive contacts only, and cannot drive a PIR.
Under external supply failure, the PIR/Glass would likely alarm.
If using PIR/Glass, we recommend using 12V DC, 24-hour back-up supply.
If using old panel 12V DC supply, verify operation and old battery.
• Enrolling:
Hardwire zones (labeled “Loops” on the circuit board terminals):
• Hardwire zones are enrolled into Honeywell system using the RF Learning
tripping enrollment mode.
• Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF), Loop: 2
• When prompted, open/close each zone twice
(fault/restore/fault/restore) to enroll the serial number.
Translator itself. Trouble supervision of the Translator itself is recommended;
Assign the Translator to a zone for sending check-in supervisories, cover
tamper and low battery.
• Zone Type: 8 (24 hour Aux) – When cover opened: “fault” when system
not armed, “alarm” when armed.
• Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF), Loop: 4
• When prompted, toggle the tamper switch to enroll the serial number.
Operation
• 8 Hardwire 4.7K-ohm Zones – transmit 8 unique wireless IDs:
Alarm on open circuit. Tamper on short circuit.
Supervisories, every hour for each zone.

Specifications
Honeywell Loop: Loop 2 for zones 1-8, Loop 4 for Translator tamper.
Transmitter Type: Talks to SAW receivers.
Zone sensing duration: State sensed if held more than 600ms.
End-of-line Resistors: 4.7k-ohm, 5%.
Max wire run: 1000 feet.
Backup batteries: Two AA Alkaline.
External supply: 12V DC, at least 50mA.
Current draw with supply: 4mA, normal operation.
PIR usage: PIR may need tight voltage tolerance. Add PIR and
device current requirements together to get total
current need.
Power Fail Conditions: Reports as low battery on main device.
Device Low Battery Conditions: Low battery, or loss of 12V external power.
Back-up Battery Life on AC Fail: 3 years, all zones terminated in 4.7K; longer if
unused/open. Backup batteries will not power PIR. PIR
may alarm on power loss.
Housing dimensions: 4x6x1 inches
Specifications subject to change without notice.
