263CSMX CDMA Cellular Communicator
Description
The 263CSMX CDMA Cellular Communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path over the CDMA network. The
263CSMX is installed in the panel enclosure and powered by the panel so no additional enclosure, power supply or battery back-
up is needed.
Compatibility
The 263CSMX is compatible with XT30/XT50 Series panels (Version 112 or higher) that do not contain a built-in cellular modem
and XR150/XR350/XR550 Series panels.
Note:
The ACTIVATE CELL prompt will only display if a CDMA modem is installed. To perform the cellular activation
process from a keypad, the panel must be in contact with a Verizon owned tower.
What is Included
The 263CSMX/381-2 includes the following:
• One Model 263CSMX
• One Model 383 Rubber Duck Antenna
• One PCB Standoff
• One 381-2 Antenna Cable
Installation Safety
Ground Yourself Before Handling the Panel!
To discharge static, touch any grounded metal, such as the enclosure,
before touching the panel.
Remove All Power From the Panel!
Remove all AC and Battery power from the panel before installing or connecting any
modules, cards, or wires to the panel.
Installing the 263CSMX
1. Insert the PCB standoff end with flanges into the standoff hole in
the panel PCB.
2. Align the PCB standoff with the standoff hole in the 263CSMX.
3. Press the 263CSMX card 12 pin connector onto the Cell Module
(J24) connector on the panel while applying even pressure to
both sides of the board to fully seat the module.
For XT30/XT50 see Figure 1.
For XR150/XR350/XR550 See Figure 2.
Note:
If needed, the PCB can be removed from the enclosure to
allow placement of the cell module.
Connecting the Antenna
All Panels:
1. Attach the 381-2 cable to the SMA connector.
2. Position one of the washers onto the 381-2 SMA connector
and push the threaded end through an enclosure
knockout.
3. Position the second washer onto the threaded end
extending through the knockout and secure the nut.
4. Attach the included 383 Antenna to the SMA connector. See
Figure 3.
5. Attach the opposite end of the 381-2 Coax to the SMA
connector on the 263CSMX. See Figure 3.
Note:
As an alternative, an antenna coax can be connected
directly to the 263CSMX SMA connector when the coax enters the enclosure via
conduit.
Automatic Cellular Activation (XR150/XR350/XR550 Series and XT30/
XT50 Series panels)
Automatic Cellular Activation is available for the 263CSMX CDMA Cellular Communicator
on XR150/XR350/XR550 Series (Version 109 or higher) and XT30/XT50 Series (Version
122 or higher) control panels. If the 263CSMX Cellular Communicator has not been
previously activated, Automatic Cellular Activation occurs when the panel powers up
or is reset.
ACTIVATE CELL
is only necessary when Automatic Cellular Activation is not
successful and communication was not established. To perform the cellular activation
process from a keypad, the panel must be in contact with a Verizon owned tower.
