Converting a Wired Alarm Into Wireless

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid explains how you can convert a wired alarm system into a wireless alarm system by using a wired to wireless converter. This will allow you to take the existing hardwired sensors from your old system and continue using them with your new wireless system. This can save you money by not having to buy new wireless sensors, which can very quickly add up in cost if you are using a large number of sensors with your system. Setting up a wired to wireless converter is actually quite easy, and it a fairly simple task for anyone replacing a wired alarm panel.

The easiest way to set up a wired to wireless converter when swapping a wired system for a wireless one is to install the module in the location of the old panel. This is typically in a storage area, such as a garage, attic, or closet. You should start by powering down the system and disconnecting all of the existing hardwired sensors. Then remove the wired panel, and connect the wired sensors to the new wired to wireless converter. In many cases, you can use the existing resistors for the sensors, thanks to a feature called EOLR learning that is supported by many converter modules.

Most wired to wireless converters will need to be calibrated once everything has been appropriately wired. You will often need to enroll the module itself with the system so that it can begin transmitting signals to the wireless panel. You can then begin learning each sensor into an individual wireless zones on the system. Remember that you must choose a wired to wireless converter module that transmits signals at a wireless frequency that is compatible with your new wireless system. Determine which converter module is compatible with your system, and make the appropriate purchase.
