Cellular Radio Installation Sheet
Product Summary
This module adds 3G or 4G/LTE cellular radio capability to the
ZeroWire to allow reporting of system events.
Note:
UTC reserves the right to check if the UTC SIM card is
used in the correct modem. Improper use of the modem or SIM
card can result in the product to stop operating with the
UltraSync infrastructure.
Installing The Module
1. A mobile phone can provide general guidance on mobile
network coverage.
Look at the signal level on a mobile phone to verify there
are 4/5 to 5/5 bars of reception in the location where you
will install the ZeroWire.
1 bar
2 bars
3 bars

Low
OK
If the signal strength is low, find another location which
has stronger signal levels.
Note that actual signal level can only be determined using
the ZeroWire connected to a specific network, which may
be different than your phone.
2. If a cellular radio module is pre-installed, skip to the Check
Signal Level section. If not, remove the cover on the right.
3. Locate the 10-pin lead inside the ZeroWire and connect
this to the radio module.
