Communicator Installation Configuration
3G Alarm Communicator Installation Manual
Ethernet/Internet. The actual path for the downloading will be determined by the Communica-
tor’s communication settings in Section [851][005], Toggle Option [4].
NOTE:
You can disable DLS over cellular. Refer to Programming Worksheets Section [006] Tog-
gle Option [7]. If you disable DLS over cellular, remote programming will not work on the
3G2060 Communicator, regardless of the path set in Programming Options Section [005] Toggle
Option [4].
Encryption
The Communicator uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the moni-
toring station receiver. Each receiver (Ethernet 1 and 2, cellular 1 and 2) can independently have
encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled, the central station will configure the
device to encrypt communications the next time the Communicator module performs a communi-
cation to that receiver.
NOTE:
Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the
unit is restarted.
Before leaving the installation site, the Communicator TL2603G/TL260 Ethernet line shall be
connected via an APPROVED (acceptable to the local authorities) Network Interface Device
(NID). All wiring shall be performed according to the local electrical codes.
This Cellular/Ethernet Communicator shall be installed by service persons only (service person is
defined as a person having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware
of hazards to which that person may be exposed to in performing a task and can also take measures
to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). The Communicator shall be installed and
used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max 2, overvoltages category II, in
non-hazardous, indoor locations only. This manual shall be used with the Installation Manual of
the panel which is connected to the Cellular/Ethernet Communicator. All instructions specified
within the panel manual must be observed.
All the local rules imposed by local electrical codes shall be observed and respected during instal-
lation.
Installing the Ethernet Cable
TL2603G/TL260 only
A Category 5 (CAT 5) Ethernet cable must be run from a source with Internet connectivity to the
Communicator module, inside the Panel. The Communicator end of the cable must be terminated
with an RJ45 plug, which will connect to the Communicator’s RJ45 jack after the Communicator
is installed. All requirements for installation of CAT5 Ethernet cable must be observed for correct
operation of the Communicator, including, but not limited to, the following:
• Do NOT strip off cable sheathing more than required for proper termination.
• Do NOT kink/knot cable.
• Do NOT crush cable with cable ties.
• Do NOT untwist CAT5 pairs more than ½ in. (1.2cm).
• Do NOT splice cable.
• Do NOT bend cable at right angles or make any other sharp bends.
NOTE:
CAT5 specification requires that any cable bend must have a minimum 2 in. (5 cm) bend
radius. Maximum length of CAT 5 cable is 328 ft. (100 m).
Inserting and Removing the SIM Card
1. Remove the front cover of the panel to access SIM holder.
2. Remove power from the panel and disconnect the battery and telephone line.
3. On the SIM card holder push gently to slide the cover downwards to OPEN. This will unlatch
the SIM card holder on the top edge of the communicator PCB. (See Figure 3).
4. Tilt the top of the SIM card holder downwards to access the SIM card.
5. The SIM can be damaged by bending or scratching contacts. Use caution when handling SIM
cards.
