Expansion Transceiver Module (EXT)
Installation Instructions
Sequel Technologies, LLC
General Description
The Expansion Transceiver Module (EXT) adds bidirec-
tional wireless communication between the ST Express
and ST8 security systems and wireless sensors. Using
unique duplex frequency diversity, the EXT transmits
and receives narrow-band radio signals on two sepa-
rate frequencies, providing enhanced reliability when
compared to competitive systems. When used with an
ST8 security system the EXT can be installed in either
the control panel or an LCD keypad to function as the
master system transceiver. The EXT can also be used in
client mode to convert the LCD into completely wire-
less operation. In addition, the EXT includes a protocol
decoder, which allows it to receive signals from select
GE and Honeywell wireless sensors, as well as the entire
line of Sequel wireless sensors and devices.
Additional Information:
500 feet open air wireless range
Included in the ST Express system
Optional with the ST8 system
One master EXT per panel, located either in the
control panel or in an LCD keypad (ST8 only)
Can be installed in an LCD keypad
Transmits and receives on two separate frequencies
(319.5 MHz and 345 MHz)
Status LED that indicates that a valid transmission
was received from a sensor
Compatible with select Honeywell and GE wireless
sensors
Mounting the EXT in the ST8 Panel
Carefully snap the plastic mounts (included with the
EXT) into the appropriate mounting holes on the
control panel.
Align the EXT with the plastic mounts and header
pins on the control panel. Gently press downward
until the EXT secures on to the plastic mounts and
header pins.
Insert screws into the plastic mounts and turn to
secure the EXT.

Using the EXT with an LCD Keypad
The EXT transceiver module can be mounted in a LCD
keypad and can operate in one of two modes: Client
(Wireless) mode or Host (Wired) mode.
Host (Wired) Mode
In Host mode, an EXT transceiver mounts in a LCD
keypad instead of the control panel and functions as
the master EXT for the entire system. The transceiver
receives wireless signals from wireless sensors or cli-
ent transceivers and sends this data to the control panel
via the keypad’s 4-wire bus connection. The ST system
supports only one master transceiver at a time, either in
the control panel, or in a one of the LCD keypads. The
following conditions apply when using Host mode:
Host mode allows the keypad to continuously
display system status.
The keypad is connected to the four-wire data bus
and receives power from the control panel.
Client (Wireless) Mode
In Client mode, the EXT transceiver mounts in a LCD
Keypad allowing the keypad to become a fully func-
tional wireless LCD keypad that communicates with the
master EXT. A user-replaceable battery provides power
to the keypad. The installation of batteries in the keypad
automatically puts the keypad in wireless mode. The fol-
lowing conditions apply when using Client mode:
The battery life is approximately two years based on
an average of two minutes of use per day.

A fault condition will occur when the battery is
below 10 percent capacity.
A fault condition will occur if the EXT transceiver is
disconnected from the keypad.
When the user presses any key on an idle keypad, it
will display "please wait" while it retrieves current
status information from the control panel. After 30
seconds with no key presses it will return to standby
mode.
Mounting the EXT in an LCD Keypad
Remove the back plate from the front of the keypad
by pressing on the rear tabs and pulling outward.
Carefully snap the plastic mounts (included with the
EXT) into the mounting holes on the LCD board as
shown in Figure 2.
Install a standoff (included with the EXT) into the top
mounting hole of the EXT. A standoff is provided to
prevent the EXT from touching the LCD board.
Align the EXT with the plastic mounts and header
pins on the LCD. Gently press downward until the
EXT secures on to the plastic mounts and header pins.
Insert two screws into the two lower mounts and
turn to secure the EXT.

Enrolling the EXT
The following instructions provide a guideline for
enrolling the EXT into panel memory.
Verify that all wiring is correct prior to applying
power to the control panel.
Connect the battery leads to the battery.
Connect the AC transformer.
The EXT will automatically scan into the control
system’s memory.

Troubleshooting
Problem Action
The panel does not
respond to wireless
sensors. There are no
alarm, chime, or walk
test responses.
Verify that the EXT is enrolled.
This can be done by checking
option “EXT Module” (60401)
in the “ST - Modules” menu in
programming. If this option is
0, the EXT is not recognized by
the system. Remove the EXT
and see if a trouble occurs. If
not, replace the EXT.
Bring the wireless sensors
closer to the EXT and test
again. If signals are properly
received, the issue may be
related to environmental
noise or interference.
Distance from the receiver
and/or installation
environment will affect
the sensor signal strength.
Reposition the sensor and/or
EXT if necessary.

Verify that the EXT is enrolled.
This can be done by checking
option “EXT Module” (60401)
in the “ST - Modules” menu
in programming. It should
display the address of the
keypad that is supporting the
EXT. Delete and re-enroll the
EXT if you are unsure that the
correct keypad ID is shown.
