RE324TD 2GIG®-to-DSC® Wireless Translator™

Features

• Listens to 2GIG (& Honeywell) protocol wireless devices.

• Transmits DSC protocol wireless.

• Enrolls up to 63 devices.

• Unique wireless ESN 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.

• Loss of AC/DC power indicator, Translator will beep once a minute.

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

battery.

Key Instructions

• Translator is for use only with DSC systems that have “Easy Wireless
Enrollment”. These include Alexor, Impassa and Version 4.6 PowerSeries.

• External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA. NON-SWITCHED outlet.
Wire polarity DOES NOT matter!

• 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:
 Sensor enrollment:

1. Enter Wireless Enrollment Mode on DSC Panel.

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

3. Activate particular 2GIG (or Honeywell) wireless device:

o PIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST (Used for PIRs and Glass

Break Sensors)

o Panic: Button
o Key Fob: Lower Right button
o DWS: Tamper NOTE: 2GIG sensors can use magnetic OR

external, but not both. Honeywell 5800 Micra, 5811 Micro,
5814 Micro, 5818 Recessed, 5820L are enrolled by battery
plunge.

Automatic Translator responses:

o Green LED blinks when hearing a 2GIG packet.
o Translator beeps on each enrollment into itself.
o Red LED blinks when speaking a DSC packet.

4. Confirm ESN, Enter Zone # and Zone Type on DSC panel.

 Main Translator device enrolled into panel by its tamper switch.

Zone Type 03 will monitor Tamper, Low Battery and Supervisions.

• Deleting sensors enrolled in Translator:
 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 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.

• 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 2GIG-compatible packets.

 Red LED

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

• Blinks on transmit of DSC-compatible packets.

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-RE324

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 strictly 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.
