The HSM2HOSTx two-way wireless transceiver adds wireless capability to alarm controllers, models
HS2016, HS2032, HS2064, HS2128, HS3128, HS3032.The HSM2HOST receives signals from wireless
zones and wireless keys, and provides information to the alarm controller. This manual describes
how to install, program and maintain the HSM2HOST.
Note: Only one HSM2HOST or one RFK keypad can be enrolled on the alarm system.
Before installing complete the following steps:
1.Plan the placement and wiring of the security system (see system installation manual).
2.Install the control panel and optional modules.
3.Temporarily mount all wireless devices in the intended location.

About this task:
To install and set up the HSM2HOST and wireless devices:
1.Temporarily mount and wire the HSM2HOST module (See "Mounting").
2.Enroll the HSM2HOST and the first wireless keypad (See "Enroll The HSM2HOST").
3.Check the location for RF interference levels (See "[804][801] RF Jam Detect").
4.Enroll wireless devices (See "[804][000] Enroll Wireless Devices").
5.Complete zone and other programming on the system (See "Wireless Device Setup and
Programming").
6.Test the placement of all the wireless devices (See "[904] Placement Testing Wireless
Devices").
7.Permanently mount the HSM2HOST and wireless devices (See "Permanently Mount").
Controls and indicators
Status LEDs
The LEDs on the front of the HSM2HOST provide feedback regarding the installation, operation and
troubleshooting of the unit. The LEDs function as follows:
Table 1: Status LEDs
Red LEDOperation
Module Power Up:On steady during module power-up sequence then off.
Slow flashing = update in progress
Firmware Update:
Rapid flashing = update failed
•No trouble: 1 rapid flash every 10 seconds.
If troubles are present, a series of flashes occur every 2 seconds. Each
series of flashes indicate troubles as follows:
Trouble Condition:
•1 flash: Module not enrolled
•2 flashes: Loss of contact with module for over 60 seconds
Module Confirmation:Flashes rapidly during module confirmation process.
Placement Test:On steady when location is unsuitable. Off when location is suitable.
Green LEDOperation
On steady when location is suitable. Off when location is unsuitable.
Placement Test:
Note: For UL/ULC listed systems, signal must be Strong. See
Wireless Device Status Indications for details.
Tamper
The HSM2HOST has built-in wall and case tampers. The tamper function is disabled by default on
the NA version (enabled on the EU version). The tamper function can be enabled or disabled in
Option 3, [804][810] Wireless Option 1. The case tamper activates when the case is opened and
restores when the case is closed. The wall tamper on the back of the unit is depressed by the
mounting surface when properly installed. If the unit is removed, the tamper activates. Ensure
the mounting surface is smooth and free of obstructions that block access to the rear of the unit.
Electrical wires should not run over or under the module when it is mounted.
Note: The built-in wall and case tamper must be installed and enabled for UL/ULC listed
Commercial/ Residential Burglary applications.
Read the safety information before you install the equipment.
Important: This equipment must be installed by a skilled person only. A skilled person is an
installer with appropriate technical training. The installer must be aware of potential hazards
during installation and measures available to minimize risks to the installer and other people.
•Before you install this equipment, disconnect all power sources (for example mains, battery,
and telephone line) connected to the alarm panel.
•Install the equipment indoors in a non-hazardous environment where the following
conditions are met:
-Pollution degree - Maximum 2
-Over voltages - Category II
•Internal wiring must be routed to prevent strain on wire and terminal connections, loose
terminal connections, and damage to conductor insulation.
•Instruct the user that there are no user serviceable parts in this equipment. All equipment
must be serviced by a skilled person.
•Zones - can receive signals from up to 128 wireless zones, and 16 wireless keypads
•Supports up to 32 wireless keys or 32 panic pendants
•Supervisory - programmable supervisory window
•Can be wired up to 1000 ft. / 230 m from the main panel with 22 AWG wire
•Connects to Corbus
•Compatibility: The HSM2HOST is used with PowerSeries Neo or PowerSeries Pro alarm panels
•Operating temperature: NA= 0°C to +49°C (32°F to 122°F); EU= -10°C to +55°C
•Relative humidity: 93% non-condensing
•Built-in wall and case tampers
Note: For Commercial BURG (UL) the Supervisory window shall be set to 4 hours. For
Residential Fire (UL/ULC) the Supervisory window shall be set to 200 seconds. For Residential
BURG (UL/ULC) the supervisory window shall be set to 24 hours. For UL Home Healthcare
applications the supervisory window shall be set to 24 hours Only models operating in the
band 912-919 MHz are UL/ULC listed where indicated. Only UL approved devices are to be used
with UL/ULC listed systems.
The HSM2HOSTx (x= 4/8/9) can receive signals from the devices listed in the following table. For
more information, refer to the individual device instruction sheet.
Note: Throughout this document, x in the model number represents the operating frequency
of the device for one of the following models: 9 (912-919 MHz), 8 (868MHz), 4 (433MHz).

This section describes how to install the HSM2HOST module.
Temporary mounting requirements
Before installing the HSM2HOST, you must temporarily mount the HSM2HOST in a location that
meets the following requirements.
•Ensure that the location is dry.
•Ensure that the location is within the operating temperature range.
•Ensure that the location is central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices.
•Mount the module in a high location. Mounting the module below ground level can reduce
the range of the system.
•Mount the module in a location that is far away from sources of interference, such as
computers, electric motors, appliances, heating, air conditioning units, and other sources
of electrical noise. Large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing can also shield the
electromagnetic waves
•Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the rear of the unit.
Connecting the HSM2HOST to the alarm panel
About this task:
WARNING: Ensure that you disconnect all power supplies from the system before connecting
the modules to the Corbus. Power supplies can include AC, DC, and telephone lines.
To connect the HSM2HOST to the alarm panel, complete the following steps:
1.Connect the HSM2HOST to the four-wire Corbus in the alarm panel. For more information,
see Figure 1.
