RE224GH GE-to-Honeywell Wireless Translator

Features

• Listens to GE protocol wireless devices: DWS, PIR, Fob, Panic.

• Transmits Honeywell protocol wireless.

• No sensor enrollment required.

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

• Main device has its own unique ID for supervisories, complete reporting

of main device tamper, external power supply fault and low battery.

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

• Back-up battery protects during loss of external power.

Key Instructions

• External supply: 9-18V AC or DC, recommend 30+ mA.

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

failure.

• Enrolling:
 Main device may be learned into the panel by tripping the

tamper. Main device does not need to be enrolled in the
panel for the repeating function to work.

 GE sensors may be enrolled into Honeywell system using

the tripping enrollment mode. They are not enrolled in the
Translator.

Operation

• Translator hears existing GE protocol sensors and repeats information in

Honeywell protocol to control panel. Generally, sensors send 8 identical
“packets” of information. The Translator ensures that a complete set of
8 packets are repeated to the control panel.

• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission ( unique ID):

Tamper, when cover opened OR loss of AC. Also sends restore.
Low battery, when low or removed batteries. Also sends restore.
Supervisory sent every hour.

 Because the Translator has two antennas, for both receive

and transmit diversity, it will generally have better range
than all sensors, and many panels (particularly those with
internal antennas).

 Place the Translator generally in the center of the all the

existing sensors it needs to hear. It will have no problem
reaching the control panel.
