Installation
SIM Card Connection
The PCS265LTE supports two nano LTE/4G/3G/2G or GSM provider
SIM cards. To install the SIM cards, open the SIM Card tray and insert
card into base, as shown. SIM 1 is used as “Primary” and SIM 2 for
“Backup”. If only one SIM card is used, insert into SIM 1.
Note:
SIM Card 2 can only be configured via SMS.
Panel Connections
Connect the PCS265LTE’s serial out to the serial connector on the
panel.
• For LTE/4G/3G/2G reporting, connect to the Serial port of
the panel.
• For GSM reporting, connect to the EBUS port of the panel.
Note:
GSM reporting is not supported on + Series panels.
RS485 Connection
A CVT485 module can be connected onto the control panel’s EBUS in
order to lengthen the distance (up to 300 m. / 1000 ft.) between the
panel and the PCS265LTE. Refer to the drawing for connections.
External Antenna Connection
Use the ANTK4G LTE external antenna kit for PTCRB installations or to
improve RF reception if your module’s signal strength is weak. External
antenna kits and extension kits are purchased separately.
IP Module Connection
The PCS265LTE can be connected to an IP Internet Module’s PCS port.
For more information on how to configure this option, please refer to the
IP module’s Installation manual.
