RE208 Hardwire-to-Honeywell® or 2GIG® Wireless Translator™
Features
• Converts hardwire zones into Honeywell-compatible wireless signals.
• 8 Hardwire loops with end-of-line resistor detection.
• Unique wireless ID for each zone, plus 1 for main device.
• Transmit diversity for long reliable range.
• PIR powering (via external supply).
• 3 year operation on batteries (contacts only).
• Complete supervision of zone tampers and low battery. Key Instructions
• DO NOT MOUNT IN A METAL CAN.
• DO NOT PUT POWER ON HARDWIRE TERMINALS.
• Use with normally closed contacts in-line with 4.7 K-ohms resistors (mandatory).
• Not for use with life safety devices, such as Smoke or CO sensors.
• External supply requirements: � Contacts-only installations may use wall plug power supply (see specifications) � Installations with PIRs or Glassbreaks (powered devices) require battery-backed
external power supply (see diagram). � Without backed-up power, PIRs or Glass Breaks could alarm when
power is lost. � Translator AA batteries drive contacts only, and do not drive powered
devices. � Ensure that external supply has sufficient current to supply all
powered devices including Translator. � 4-wire powered devices only. Not for use with 2-wire powered
devices. � If using old panel as the battery-backed 12V DC supply, verify supply
and battery operation. DO NOT MOUNT IN OLD CAN… the wireless will not get out!
Installation • Hook up PIR and Glass Break power lines to external power supply.
• Alarm contact hook-up: � Works only with normally-closed contacts (alarm = open). � Remove any existing end-of-line resistors.
� Connect 4.7K end-of-line resistor (included) IN-LINE with contact. � Resistor should NOT be across (between) terminals.
Honeywell® Enrollment Sensors: RF Learning tripping enrollment mode. Set up for any behavior desired. Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF) When prompted, open/close each zone twice to enroll serial number. Ensure it is set to Loop: 2. Translator itself: RF Learning tripping enrollment mode. Zone Type: 8 (24 hour Aux) Input Type: 3 (Supervised RF), When prompted, toggle the tamper switch to enroll serial number. Loop 2 (but Loop doesn’t really
matter).
2GIG® Enrollment: Sensors: Q1 RF Sensor Set up for any behavior desired. At “Enter RF Serial Number”, press SHIFT LEARN, and trip sensor. Ensure it is set to Loop 2. Translator itself: Sensor Type: (08) 24 Hour Aux Equipment Type: (1) contact Equipment Code: (0000) other Other Equipment Code: (208) meaning RE208 Enter RF Serial Number: [press SHIFT,Learn, then toggle the tamper switch to enroll the serial number] Equipment Age: (0) new Loop Number: (2) but Loop doesn’t really matter

Operation
• 8 Hardwire 4.7K-ohm Zones – transmit 8 unique wireless IDs: Alarm, when device sees open circuit. Tamper, when device sees short circuit. Supervisories, every hour for each zone.
• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission (9th unique ID): Tamper, when cover opened. Low battery, when either low AA batteries, OR loss of 12V DC external. Supervisory every hour.
• LED Operation Green LED: On if AC power present. Red LED: When 12V DC is present: “Blinks” on transmit to panel;
“on” if device tamper or device low battery. Specifications
Honeywell Loop: Loop 2 for zones 1-8, Loop 4 for Translator tamper. Zone sensing duration: State sensed if held more than 600ms. End-of-line Resistors: 4.7k-ohm, 5%. Max wire run: 1000 feet. Backup batteries: Two AA Alkaline. External supply: 8.5 to 13 VDC or 6-9 VAC
Standard: Resolution RE012: 12VDC, 50mA. Optional: GE 60-898-ITI, for securing screw Wire connection polarity DOESN’T matter!
Current draw with supply: 4mA, normal operation. PIR usage: PIR may need tight voltage tolerance. Add PIR and
device current requirements together to get total current need.
AC Fail Indication: Translator ID sends Low Battery signal if its external 12V is gone for 15 minutes. Restores on external 12V restore.
AA Low Battery Conditions: Low battery for 1 minute. Restores on device tamper, external 12V restore.
AA Battery Life on AC Fail: 3-5 years, when monitoring contacts. Housing dimensions: 4x6x1 inches Specifications subject to change without notice.
