Product Installation Document

 

 

Overview 

The CLSS Pathway (HW-AV-LTE-M) is a dual-path cellular communicator, which runs on a 24-volt power 

from its panel. It supports both AT&T and Verizon LTE networks, and uses any of them with a stronger signal. 

It transmits Contact ID data from its fire panel to the panel’s central monitoring station. 
This document includes instructions for mounting and wiring only. For this purpose, the guide uses the optional 

enclosure HW-AV-ENC. 

Other Features 

The communicator also has other features, including secondary data transmission via an Ethernet connection as 

well as monitoring dry-contact relay outputs.

A. Mounting the Communicator 

NOTES: 

 

Inform the central monitoring station to put your CLSS Account on test. 

 

If installing on an existing operational panel, inform the operator and the local authority that the panel will be 

a temporarily out of service. 

 

Check that you have the communicator, 3-ft antenna, and the 

Quick Start Guide

 from the carton box. 

 

Only a regulated UL-listed UOJZ, UTOU, or NBSX control panel or power supply should power the 

communicator. 

 

The communicator must be connected to a UL-listed control panel with power limited circuits. 

 

For UL installations, secure the communicator to a UL-listed enclosure, such as a UL-listed junction box. 

 

Install the communicator only at a dry indoor location. 

 

The location and wiring methods must be in accordance with the 

National Electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70

 

Install in accordance with the 

National Fire Alarm and Signalling Code, NFPA 72

 

Mount the communicator inside an enclosure, for example HW-AV-ENC, as shown in Figure 1 below. 

 

Enclosure should be close nipple to the fire alarm control panel.
