After a successful update, the unit will automatically restart.
NOTE:
Several resets will take place during a single Firmware update session.
NOTE:
The unit will re-request programming after firmware update; the version number will be updated and viewable via C24
Communications.
NOTE:
Unit must not be powered down while Firmware Update Takes Place.
NOTE:
Unit will not process remote firmware update requests while it exhibits the following trouble, if the trouble occurs after
the unit has processed the firmware update request, it will not interrupt the firmware update request.
• Input Power Trouble
• Low Battery Trouble
Low Power Radio Shutdown
When the battery voltage reaches the low battery threshold of 9.6V, the unit turns off the radio to prevent unnecessary network
registrations. In this state, the unit does not communicate any events.
Radio shutdown is indicated by the LEDs as follows:
l
Red LED indicates low battery trouble.
l
Two green LEDs blinking on/off together indicates the radio is not ready.
This LED sequence will display until the low battery voltage is restored and the radio is enabled again.
SMS Command and Control
NOTE:
For UL/ULC installations, this feature has not been investigated by UL/ULC and its use is not permitted.
The user can remotely arm/disarm their security panel and control PGM outputs by following these steps:
Arming/Disarming the Security Panel
1. Set up a PGM output to Remote Arming in C24 Communications
2. Ensure this PGM output is connected to a relay to their security panel zone
3. Set up the zone on the security panel as momentary or maintained arming
a. If the Security Panel uses Momentary key switching, the configuration on Communicator PGM shall be with a time
field of 05 (in this configuration, both arm and disarm will generate the pulse)
b. If the security Panel uses maintained key arming, the configuration on the communicator PGM shall be filled with a
time field of 00
4. Optionally the panel arm state can be configured for the communicator to detect by setting a panel PGM output to reflect
panel arm state, have that relay connected to a communicator zone configured to follow panel arm state.
Remote Control of PGM
1. Set up a PGM or both PGM output to Remote Control PGM configuration
a. PGM can be latched or timed
i. setting the PGM timer to 00 will configure the PGM to be latched, it will not turn off unless the turn off command is
received
ii. setting the PGM timer with a time value between 1 second to 255 seconds will configure the PGM to be timed,
the PGM will activate
