Description
This 3G4010CF manages transmissions to a central station and can simulate the landline in the event of trouble (e.g., landline
down) or even substitute the landline completely in areas where the 3G or 2G cellular service is provided and a landline is not
available.
The 3G4010CF has the capability of communicating alarm signals via the 3G or 2G data network. This capability ensures a
fast, reliable path to central stations equipped with a Sur-Gard System I-IP / II / III / IV / 5 receiver. By connecting a 3G4010CF to
a control panel's standard PSTN interface, telephone- based Contact ID or SIA signals are decoded and seamlessly routed
through the 3G or 2G network to any of the compatible receiver options.
The performance of the 3G4010CF depends greatly on cellular network coverage. Therefore, it should not be mounted without
first performing placement tests to determine the best location for reception (minimum of one green LED ON). Optional
antenna kits – GS15/25/50-ANT (15ft/4.6m, 25ft/7.6m or 50ft/15.2m) – are available.
Approvals Information
For Commercial Fire Monitoring Installations, the 3G4010CF can be used in the following configurations:
1. Standalone communicator, single communication technology - 5 minute supervision (heartbeat sent to supervising sta-
tion every 90 seconds).
2. Back-up communicator line for a DACT (dual communication technology, no heartbeat sent). Alarm signals must be sent
first over the primary communication path (DACT) and then, if this is known to have failed, over the secondary com-
munication paths (other transmission technologies)
o
Primary: Compatible listed control unit's land line to central station (primary).
o
Secondary: 3G4010CF transmission through wireless network to central station.
Every 24 hours, a check-in signal must be sent to the central station over the primary dialer. The 3G4010CF sends a heartbeat
test transmission to the supervising station every 24 hours. Each communication path shall be monitored for integrity (DACT
shall have line monitoring enabled and 3G4010CF shall have cellular connection supervision enabled).
For UL Central Station Commercial Burglary Installations, the 3G4010CF can be used in the following configurations:
1. Standalone communicator, single line - 200 second supervision (heartbeat sent to supervising station every 90
seconds). Alarm receiver supervision window set to 200 seconds.
2. Primary communicator line for a DACT (heartbeat sent to supervising station every 90 seconds). Alarm receiver super-
vision window set to 200 seconds.
3. Back-up communicator line for a DACT (no heartbeat sent). The 3G4010CF is designed to work with the Contact ID com-
munication format as described in SIADC-05 Standard or the 300 baud SIA communication format as described in SIA
DC-03 standard.
Every 24 hours, a check-in signal must be sent to the central station over the primary dialer. The 3G4010CF sends a test trans-
mission to the supervising station every 24 hours. Each communication path shall be monitored for integrity (DACT shall have
line monitoring enabled and 3G4010CF shall have cellular connection supervision enabled). Before completing the field
installation of the alarm monitoring system, please ensure communication with the supervising central station is successful by
sending several events and getting confirmation that they have been received.
For ULC Commercial Fire Monitoring Installation the 3G4010CF can be used in the following configurations:
1. Active communication system with 180 seconds supervision (Heartbeat sent to signal receiving centre every 90
seconds).
2. Passive communication system in conjunction with a another communication path (e.g. DACT) (there is no heartbeat
sent in this configuration, only periodic test transmission ).
Alarm signals must be sent simultaneously over both communication paths (Cellular and DACT). Every 24 hours, a test trans-
mission must be sent to the signal receiving centre over each communication path. Each communication path shall be mon-
itored for integrity (DACT shall have line monitoring enabled and 3G4010CF shall have cellular connection supervision
enabled).
For ULC Commercial Burglary Monitoring Installation the 3G4010CF can be used in the following configurations:
1. Active communication system with 180 seconds supervision and heartbeat sent to signal receiving centre every 90
seconds.
2. Passive communication system line security P1 (single communication channel) or line security P2 (used as backup in
conjunction with another communication path (e.g. DACT)). There is no heartbeat sent in this configuration, only periodic
test transmissions.
Every 24 hours, a test transmission must be sent to the signal receiving centre over each communication path. Each com-
munication path shall be monitored for integrity (DACT shall have line monitoring enabled and 3G4010CF shall have cellular
connection supervision enabled). For Level P2, the working communication path shall report the failure of the other channel
within 240 seconds.
