RE108 Hardwire to Wireless Takeover Translator, GE-Compatible

Features

• Converts hardwire zones into GE-compatible wireless signals.

• 8 Hardwire loops with end-of-line resistor detection.

• Unique wireless ID (or loop) for each zone, plus 1 for main device.

• Transmit diversity for long reliable range.

• PIR powering (via external supply).

• Back-up battery operation.

• Complete supervision of tampers, external power supply fault and low

battery.

Key Instructions

• Use with normally closed contacts in-line with 4.7 K-ohms end-of-line

resistors.

• 4-wire PIRs only.

• External supply: 7-14V AC or DC at least 50 mA.

• PIR usage: Adds requirements to external supply – see Specifications.

• 2 AAA Alkaline batteries are for backup in case of external supply

failure. Backup batteries cannot drive the PIR.

• Enrolling:

 Loops enrolled by tampering (shorting).
 Main device enrolled by tamper switch on the board.

Operation

• 8 Hardwire Zones wireless transmissions (8 unique IDs):

Alarm, when Device sees open circuit.
Tamper, when device sees short circuit.
Supervisories, every hour for each zone.

• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission (9

Tamper, when cover opened.
Low battery, when either low AAA batteries, OR loss of AC.
Supervisory every hour.

• LED Operation

Green LED: On if AC power present.
Red LED: On if device tamper or device low battery
