QS-8120-P01 IQ Hardwire Translator™
Hardwire-to-Qolsys Wireless Translator™
Features
• Converts hardwire zones into Qolsys-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.
• 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 Qolsys Panel in Add Sensor mode.
Each zone:
• Select the behaviors you want the sensor to have.
• 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.
Translator itself (necessary to monitor the Translator’s health):
• Select Translator Group 13.
• When panel asks to “Trip Sensor”, trip the Translator tamper.

Operation
• 8 Hardwire 4.7K-ohm Zones – transmit 8 unique wireless IDs:
Alarm, when device sees open circuit.
Tamper, when device sees short circuit.
Supervisories, every hour for each zone.
• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission (9th unique ID):
Tamper, when cover opened.
Low battery, when either low AA batteries, OR loss of 12V DC external.
Supervisory every hour.
• LED Operation
Green LED: On if AC power present.
Red LED: When 12V DC is present: “Blinks” on transmit to panel;
“on” if device tamper or device low battery.
Specifications
Device Type: Same as Std DWS (all 8 zone ID’s and device ID)
Zone sensing duration: State sensed if held more than 600ms.
End-of-line Resistors: 4.7k-ohm, 10%.
Max wire run: 1000 feet.
Backup batteries: Two AA Alkaline.
External supply: 8.5 to 13 VDC or 6-9 VAC
Standard: Resolution RE012: 12VDC, 50mA.
Optional: GE 60-898-ITI, for securing screw
Wire connection polarity DOESN’T matter!
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.
AC Fail Indication: Translator ID sends Low Battery signal if its external
12V is gone for 15 minutes. Restores on external 12V
restore.
AA Low Battery Conditions: Low battery for 1 minute. Restores on device
tamper, external 12V restore.
AA Battery Life on AC Fail: 3-5 years, when monitoring contacts.
Housing dimensions: 4x6x1 inches
