RE124TG 2GIG®-to-GE® Wireless Translator™

Features

• Listens to both 2GIG and Honeywell protocol wireless devices.

• Also listens to old Honeywell devices from original 2GIG takeover.

• Transmits GE protocol wireless.

• Enrolls up to 63 devices.

• Unique wireless ID for each zone, plus 1 for main device.

• All sensor alarm, supervisory and trouble signals are passed through.

• Dual antennas for both Receive and Transmit diversity for reliable range.

• Back-up battery operation.

• Complete supervision of tampers, external power fault and low battery.

Key Instructions

• External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA. Power terminals do not care
which wire is positive or negative!

• Mount Translator at least 20 feet from Control Panel’s receiver.

• 3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.

INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.

• Enrolling:
 Sensors

1. Place Panel in Learn Sensors mode.

2. Press Translator Enroll switch repeatedly until Device Type LED
matches the type of device you’re enrolling. ENROLLING AS
WRONG DEVICE TYPE CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION.

3. Activate particular 2GIG (or Honeywell) sensor as follows:

o PIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST

No tamper on Honeywell 5800PIR-RES: Insert battery
(Used for PIRs and Glass Break sensors)

o Panic: Button
o Key Fob: Lower Right
o DWS: Tamper

No tamper on Honeywell DWS: Insert battery

4. Automatic responses:

o Green LED blinks on receipt of 2GIG (& HW) packets.
o Translator beeps on enrollment into Translator.
o Red LED blinks on transmit of GE packet to panel.
o The Translator transmits packets to the panel as soon as

it learns a new sensor.

5. Panel, if in Learn Sensors mode, will generally learn the GE­compatible packets simultaneously

 Main Translator device

1. Place Panel in Learn Sensors mode.

2. Press tamper switch on Translator board. Enroll in Group 10.
Translator itself never alarms, but its health needs to be
monitored like a regular DWS.

 Delete all sensors:

1. Press enroll button repeatedly until all Device Type LEDs are
off.

2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.

 Delete just one Device Type:

1. Press enroll button repeatedly until target Device Type LED is
lit.

2. Press and hold enroll key for 5 seconds until beep.

Operation

• Existing 2GIG (& Honeywell) protocol sensors transmit as usual.
Translator passes information on to control panel as if they were GE
transmitters.

• Translator Module Zone wireless transmission ( unique ID):

Tamper, when cover opened. Also sends restore.
Low battery, when low battery. Also sends restore.
Supervisory every hour. Supervisory stopped if 12V DC power absent.
Translator Module does not send any alarm signals about itself.

• LED Operation

 Green LED

• On if 12V DC power present.

• Blinks on receipt of Honeywell-compatible packets.

 Red LED

• On if device low battery (unless there’s no 12V DC
power).

• Blinks on transmit of GE-compatible packets.

FCC Notice

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operat ion is subject to the following
two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2)This device must accept any interference that may be received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Resolution Products, Inc. could void

IC Notice

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause interference, and
(2)This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appare ils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1)l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2)l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

IC: 8310A-RE124

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.

This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has
been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are s trictly
prohibited for use with this device.

Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de
modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance
requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est
supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
