RE220T Repeater Translator™, 2GIG
®
-Compatible
Features
• Listens to distant 2GIG and Honeywell® -protocol wireless devices, and
re-transmits them to control panel.
o 2GIG Signals  2GIG Signals
o Honeywell Signals  Honeywell Signals
• Extends range of system.
• No sensor enrollment required.
• Received IDs are passed on unchanged to panel. All sensor alarm,
supervisory and trouble signals are passed through.
• Main device has its own unique 2GIG 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 increased
range.
• Back-up battery protects during loss of external power.
Key Instructions
• External supply: 12V DC, recommend 30+ mA.
• 3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if external supply fails.
INSTALL BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CONNECT.
• Enrolling:
 Distant sensors may be enrolled into 2GIG system as normal. They
are not enrolled in the Translator.
 If trouble supervision of the Translator itself is desired, assign the
Translator to a zone for sending check-in supervisories, cover tamper
and low battery messages.
• 24 Hour Aux Zone Type – When cover opened: “fault” when
system not armed, “alarm” when system armed.
• Supervised RF input type
• When prompted, toggle the tamper switch to enroll the serial
number.
 Main device does not need to be enrolled in the panel for the
repeating function to work.
• Never put more than one Repeater in a 2GIG installation.

Operation
• Translator hears distant 2GIG protocol sensors and repeats the 2GIG
information to the panel. Translator hears Honeywell sensors and
repeats the Honeywell information to control panel. Remember, 2GIG
panels can hear Honeywell sensors.
• Generally, sensors send 8 identical “packets” of information. No matter
how many packets the Translator hears, it ensures that a complete set
of 8 packets are repeated to the control panel.
• Translator Main Zone wireless transmission ( unique 2GIG 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.
• LED Operation
 Green LED
• On if AC power present.
• Blinks on receipt of 2GIG & Honeywell-compatible packets.
 Red LED
• On if device low battery (unless there’s no AC power).
• Blinks on transmit of 2GIG & Honeywell-compatible packets.
• Application Diagram
 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).
Because of this, it tends to more than double the distance the
remote sensor can be from the panel.
 Place the Repeater generally half-way between distant sensor and
panel.
 Translator may also hear and repeat sensors that are close to panel…
panel will simply hear the close sensor signals again. It is extremely
rare that this will cause any problem.
