ABOUT THE COMMUNICATOR

The iComSL™ Series Universal Alarm Communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path for any 

burglary, commercial fire, or residential fire control panel. The iComSL Series can be connected to a control panel’s 

dialer output and used to capture Contact ID messages based on SIA DC‑05‑1999.09‑DCS. The iComSL uses built‑in 

network communication to send messages to DMP Model SCS‑1R or SCS‑VR receivers. The communicator also 

provides four input zones and two open‑collector outputs for connection to burglary, commercial fire, or residential 

fire control panel outputs and zones.
The iComSL Series Universal Alarm Communicator Zone 4 allows a connection to the bell output of an existing control 

panel. The communicator operates in a variety of applications: CID Dialer Connection, Zones 1‑4 Input Connections, or 

Zone 4 Bell Connection. See Applications.
The iComSLZ includes an onboard Z‑Wave controller for home automation applications. The iComSLF Fire Universal 

Alarm Communicator includes a red enclosure and a Model 685‑R (Red) backbox.

Features

•  Zone 1‑4 terminals with 12 V and 24 V power input
•  EASYconnect

™

•  Tip & Ring terminal
•  Programming header for connecting to a programming keypad
•  LED to indicate armed state and power conditions

What is Included

•  PCB with enclosure
•  Model 685‑R (Red) backbox (iComSLF modules only)
•  Hardware pack

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Terminals

Power Connection Terminals

iComSL and iComSLZ may be powered from the 12 VDC auxiliary output of the control panel. iComSLF may be 

powered from the 12 VDC or 24 VDC auxiliary output. Observe polarity and use 18‑22 AWG wire to connect the 

communicator

 

teDC to the +12 or +24 V positive terminal on the control panel auxiliary output. See Figure 1. 

Connect the communicator terminal G (ground) to the negative terminal on the control panel auxiliary output.

Control Panel Standby Power

During a power outage, the communicator draws power from the control panel’s backup battery. The communicator 

must be included in the standby battery calculations for the control panel.

Zones 1‑4

Terminals Z1 to Z3, G (ground), Z4+ and Z4‑ provide four zones to connect to individual relay outputs on the control 

panel. Zone 4 (Z4+ and Z4‑) can be connected to the control panel bell output. See Zone 4 Bell Cadence Information.

Open‑Collector Outputs

Terminals O1 and O2 can be programmed to indicate the activity of the zones or conditions occurring on the system. 

Open‑Collector outputs do not provide a voltage but instead switch‑to‑ground the voltage from another source. 

Maximum voltage is 30 VDC at 50 mA. The outputs can respond to any of the conditions listed below:

•  Activation by zone condition: Steady, Pulse, Momentary, or Follow
•  Communication
•  Armed area annunciation
•  Remote Arming Output

Dialer Connection

Directly connect the Telco phone line (tip and ring) from the control panel to the terminal R (Ring) and one into 

terminal T (Tip). See CID Dialer Connection.
