General
IMPORTANT
This installation manual shall be used in conjunction with the control panel. All the safety instructions specified within that
manual shall be observed. The control panel is referenced as the “panel” throughout this document. This installation guide
provides the basic wiring, programming and troubleshooting information.
The HSPA(3G) /dual-path alarm communicator is a fixed, wall-mounted unit, and shall be installed in the location specified in
these instructions.The equipment enclosure must be fully assembled and closed, with all the necessary screws/tabs, and
secured to a wall before operation. Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:
l
Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections,
l
Interference between power limited and non power limited wiring,
l
Loosening of terminal connections, or
l
Damage of conductor insulation.
WARNING: Never install this equipment during a lightning storm!
Safety Information
The installer must instruct the system user on each of the following:
l

References to model names
TL280(R)E, TL2803G(R)E
and
3G2080(R)E
throughout this manual apply to all specified models
unless stated differently. Models ending in “R” include a built-in RS-232 interface for connecting to local third party applications.
The TL280(R) E/TL2803G (R)E/3G2080 (R)E supports integration over cellular/IP, available with licensed 3rd party product
solutions. Specific programming for the related programming sections is to be provided by the 3rd party. A current list of com-
patible 3rd party solutions can be found at www.visonic.com.
3G2080(R)E:
Is a HSPA(3G) cellular alarm communicator that sends alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, III (SG-
DRL3IP), IV (SG-DRL4IP), and 5 (SG-DRL5IP) central station receivers via a HSPA(3G)/GPRS digital cellular network.
TL2803G(R)E:
Is a dual-path HSPA(3G) Ethernet alarm communicator that sends alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I,
II, III, IV, and 5 central station receivers through Ethernet/Internet or a HSPA(3G)/GPRS digital cellular network.
TL280(R)E:
Is an Ethernet alarm communicator that sends alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, III (SG-DRL3IP), IV
(SG-DRL4IP), and 5 (SG-DRL5IP) central station receivers via Ethernet/Internet.
The communicator can be used as either a backup or primary communicator. The communicator supports Internet Protocol (IP)
transmission of panel and communicator events over Ethernet/Internet and/or HSPA/GPRS.
The cellular performance of the
3G2080(R)E
or
TL2803G(R)E
communicator depends greatly on HSPA(3G)/GPRS network
coverage in the local area. The unit should not be mounted in the final location without first performing the communicator place-
ment test below to determine the best location for radio reception (minimum of one green LED ON). Optional antenna kits (GS-
15ANTQ, GS-25ANTQ and GS-50ANTQ) are available from DSC to improve signal strength as required.
NOTE:
Prior to installation of the
3G2080 (R)E
or
TL2803G (R)E
communicator, confirm with the local service provider that the
HSPA(3G)/GPRS network is available and active in the area where the communicator will be installed, and that radio
signal strength (CSQ) is adequate.
