RE124DG DSC -to-GE Wireless Translator™
Features
Listens to DSC 433MHz protocol wireless devices.
•
Transmits GE protocol wireless.
•
Enrolls up to 63 devices.
•
Unique wireless ID (or loop) 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 supply fault and low battery.
•
Key Instructions
WILL NOT HEAR OLD DSC 900MHz SENSORS, such as: WLS907, WLS915,
•
WLS914, WLS909, WLS929. Key hint is if old DSC system had the PC5132-900,
PC5132-RS (900) or PC5349 (900 & 433) Receiver.
Mount Translator at least 20 feet from Control Panel's receiver.
•
External supply: 12V DC at least 50 mA. NON-SWITCHED outlet.
•
Wire polarity DOES NOT matter!
If only powered with batteries, Translator beeps once a minute
•
indicating loss of power.
3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
•
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
Enrolling:
•
Sensors are enrolled both in the Translator and in the Panel.
1. 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.
2. Activate particular DSC sensor as follows:
o PIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST (Used for PIRs and
Glass Break Sensors)
o Panic: Button
o Key Fob: Lower Right
o DWS: Tamper
3. Automatic responses:
o Green LED blinks indicating Translator received DSC-
compatible packets.
o Translator beeps indicating each enrollment into
Translator.
o Red LED blinks indicating transmit of GE-compatible
packet to panel.
o The Translator transmits packets to the panel as soon as
it learns a new sensor.
o The panel, if it's in enroll mode, will generally learn the
GE-compatible packets simultaneously.
Translator itself is enrolled in panel by tamper switch on the board.
Suggest enrolling in Group 10 in panel. Translator itself never
alarms, but its health needs to be monitored like a regular DWS.
Deleting sensors from 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.

Existing DSC protocol sensors transmit as usual. Translator passes
•
information on to control panel as if they were GE transmitters.
External Contact on DSC DWS (don't use any magnet) will act just
like the GE DWS reed switch. The DSC sensor's external contact does
not come through the Translator looking like a GE sensor external
contact.
DSC fob: Lower left = Lights, lower right = panic (= GE
double button press), although can be non-alarm in panel.
Translator itself - wireless transmissions ( 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 DSC-compatible packets.
•
Red LED
On if device low battery (unless there's no 12V DC
•
power).
Blinks on transmit of GE-compatible packets.
