QS-8140-P01 IQ Translator™ DS

DSC
®
-to-Qolsys Wireless Translator™


Features
•

Listens to DSC 433MHz protocol wireless devices.
•

Transmits Qolsys-compatible wireless.
•

Enrolls up to 63 devices.
•

Unique wireless ID for each zone, plus 1 for main d
evice.
•

All sensor alarm, supervisory and trouble signals a
re passed through.
•

Dual antennas for both Receive and Transmit diversi
ty for reliable range.
•

Back-up battery operation.

Key Instructions
•

Not for use with life safety devices, such as Smoke
or CO sensors.
•

WILL NOT HEAR OLD DSC 900MHz SENSORS, such as: WLS9
07, WLS915, WLS914,
WLS909, WLS929. Key hint is if old DSC system had th
e PC5132-900, PC5132-RS
(900) or PC5349 (900 & 433) Receiver.
•

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

3 AAA Alkaline batteries give 72 hours backup if ex
ternal supply fails. INSTALL
BATTERIES ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS READY TO CON
NECT.
•

Enrolling:

Sensors are enrolled both in the Translator and in
the Panel.
1.

Place Panel in Add Sensors mode.
2.

Select the behaviors you want the sensor to have.
3.

Press Translator Enroll switch repeatedly until Dev
ice Type LED
matches the type of device you’re enrolling. ENROL
LING AS WRONG
DEVICE TYPE CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION.
4.

Trip particular DSC sensor as follows:
o

PIR: Tamper – ENROLL PIRs FIRST
o

Panic: Button
o

Key Fob: Lower Right
o

DWS: Tamper
5.

Automatic responses:
o

Green LED blinks on receipt of DSC packets.
o

Translator beeps indicating each enrollment into Tr
anslator.
o

Red LED blinks indicating transmit of GE-compatible
packet to
panel.
o

The Translator transmits packets to the panel as so
on as it
learns a new sensor.
o

Panel, if in Add Sensors mode, will generally learn
the Trip
Sensor signals simultaneously with the Translator.

Translator itself (necessary to monitor the Transla
tor’s health):
1.

Select Translator Group 13 behavior.
2.

When panel asks to “Trip Sensor”, trip the Translat
or tamper.

•

Deleting sensors from Translator:

Delete all sensors:
1.

Press enroll button repeatedly until all Device Typ
e 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.


Operation

•

Existing DSC protocol sensors transmit as usual. T
ranslator passes information
on to control panel as if they were Qolsys transmit
ters.

External Contact on DSC DWS (don’t use any magnet)
will act just
like the Qolsys DWS reed switch. The DSC sensor’s
external
contact does not
come through the Translator looking like a Qolsys
sensor external contact.

DSC fob: Lower left = Lights, lower right = panic,
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 a
bout 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 Qolsys-compatible packets.
