Hyfire HFW-W2W-E-01 Wireless Enhanced Translator Module Installation Manual
Quick guide for the Hyfire HFW-W2W-E-01 Wireless Enhanced Translator Module, covering installation, wiring, system configuration, and troubleshooting.
Table of contents
Quick guide from the manual
The HFW-W2W-E-01 is a loop-powered translator module that interfaces hard-wired Vega intelligent-analogue loops with the Sagittarius wireless system. It allows the addition of up to 127 wireless child devices. Important: If the system uses expander modules, you must use the Wirelex software for configuration; the local programming facility on the translator cannot be used.
Installation
The device must be installed flat on a wall, at a height of 2-2.5 meters. Avoid proximity to large metal objects, electrical equipment, fluorescent lighting, or computers. Ensure a minimum distance of 2 meters between translators and other radio devices. The antenna under the device must be perpendicular to the floor, and the antenna on the right must be parallel to the floor.
Wiring
Disconnect loop power before installation. The loop terminals are polarity sensitive. Connect the analogue loop cable to the terminal blocks as follows: Terminal 1 (Line-out), Terminal 2 (Line-in), Terminal 3 (Line+ out), Terminal 4 (Line+ in). Ensure cable glands are used to maintain the IP rating.
Programming and Configuration
Configuration can be performed via the onboard display/keys or the Wirelex software. Warning: Using the INIT command will erase the entire system configuration. To make changes effective, use the INIT command after setting the system identifier (SYS) or channel (CH). The RES command is used to reset the system from fault or fire conditions and should not be confused with INIT.
Maintenance and Testing
All devices must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Before maintenance, isolate and disable the system. After servicing, re-apply power and verify correct operation via the testing procedure.

Practical help
Common problems
Load error (LOER) message
This is a temporary error indicating the radio frequency PCB has been programmed, but the configuration has not yet been automatically loaded into the Vega PCB.
System configuration erased
This occurs if the INIT command is used. Ensure you have a backup or are prepared to reconfigure the system.
Device not communicating
Check for channel jamming, ensure the Vega and Sagittarius PCBs are connected via the flat cable, and verify the device is within range.
Before use
- Ensure the control panel is compatible with the Vega communication protocol.
- Use the RF-Analyze program to select a free radio channel.
- Assign a unique system number to the translator.
- Ensure all child devices are at least 2 meters apart.
- Verify that the loop power supply is between 18Vdc and 40Vdc.
