Description:

The Universal Translator can be configured as a wireless repeater for RF protocols like GE, 2GIG, or DSC. You can also use it to translate incoming signals from one protocol into a different RF frequency. It’s also known as a wireless-to-wireless universal translator. Dials on the physical product allow the user to define what signals the device listens for and what type of signal it then repeats. It can also receive signals from Honeywell, DSC, GE Interlogix, 2GIG, or Napco. Then converts those wireless signals in to one of the same options.

This means that if you have an old GE Interlogix System and you want to replace the control panel with a Honeywell or 2GIG one, then instead of replacing all your wireless devices that are not compatible with Honeywell or 2GIG, you can just add this translator.  It will then take the 319.5Mhz frequency and translate it to 345Mhz that Honeywell and 2GIG.

It also has a field configurable RF. Just set the dial to the brand of sensor and the brand of panel being installed. You also no longer need a specific model set to the specific manufacturers frequency.

It also includes a power supply and rechargeable battery back-up. The wireless Universal Translator can also operate as a repeater for all supported brands. UL Compliant.

SETUP for the Universal Translator

MOUNT AND WIRE

1.  Select a mounting position and location.
2. Connect the power supply to the translator.

TRANSLATOR CONFIGURATION

1. Select the brand of panel that the translator must talk to using the “PANEL SELECT” knob.
2. Then, select the brand of sensors that the translator must listen to using the “SENSOR SELECT” knob.
3. Sensor configuration: The translator must learn the sensors that are to be translated or repeated.
   • Press the “CONFIGURE” button to enter configuration mode.
   • Tamper or trip all sensors that are to be included in the system
   • Press the “CONFIGURE” button to exit configuration mode.

PANEL ENROLLMENT

1. Enroll Translator into Panel. Then trip the translator tamper to enroll the translator into the panel (For Honeywell® and 2GIG® panels select loop 1). -or- Enter ID into panel. The translator’s ID printed on the bar code label.
2. Enroll Sensors into Panel
   • With the translator cover open, trip each sensor to enroll it into to the panel.
   • Finish setup of each sensor at the panel.

FINISH

1. With the translator cover open, perform a panel sensor test.
2. Next, close the cover. Then test and verify proper operation of the sensors at the panel.
3. Cut the lock wire to lock the translator
4. Secure cover with screw.
