Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions Over Cellular Path
Trip several alarms on the alarm panel and verify that the Central Station received them by calling the
Central Station operator. Use a lineman's butt-set in
MONITOR MODE
connected to the
communicator's "T" and "R" test pins to "listen" to communications between the alarm panel and the
communicator.
Once you have verified the cellular pathway, reconnect any other pathways that were temporarily
disconnected from the alarm panel.
If you are having problems getting reliable alarm signal transmissions, additional adjustments may be
necessary:
•
Recheck signal strength. You need at least RSSI = 2
(TWO LEDS ON SOLID)
for adequate signal
transmission in a system with a Telco connection or 2 ½ (
TWO LEDS ON SOLID AND A THIRD
FLASHING
) for Sole Path cellular mode. Also, check antenna connector and make sure it is seated
correctly.

Step 5: Connect Supervisory Trip Outputs
Connect and test the supervisory trip outputs to the alarm panel.
Enabling of a local alarm or strobe light may be desirable when a trip is declared. The STC trip output
can be used directly to activate a local signaling device, provided that the trip output is not needed to
trip the alarm panel at the same time. If both a local signaling device and an alarm panel are required,
then external relays are needed to provide additional uncommitted contacts.
UL/ULC Compliance Note:
The communicator will at a minimum have the trip output connected to
the alarm panel to indicate AC failure (ACFC) and low battery (LBC) conditions when the
communicator is using its own Power Supply and not powered by the panel.
ULC Compliance Note:
For Commercial Burglary installations, STC1 shall be connected to the
panel's 24hr zone and shall be designated only as Low Battery Condition if using an AC power
source, or Low Power Failure if getting power from the panel. Other failure conditions shall be
triggered through STC2 and shall be treated as general trouble condition.
Reprogram Alarm Panel to Send Proper Code
If necessary, reprogram the alarm panel to send proper alarm code when tripped by the
communicator
Check Proper Operation of Supervisory Output
Check for proper operation of each programmed supervisory output by causing it to trip the alarm
panel. Make sure the proper LED illuminates and the proper trouble code is reported to the Central
Station. Skip the testing of any supervisory functions that have not been enabled. Note that yellow
LED 3 will start flashing when the alarm panel goes off-hook to report the signal.
•
AC Failure Condition (ACFC): Disconnect the provided power adapter and check to see that AC
POWER LED 8 goes out and the STC LED 2 flashes once indicating that AC power is missing.
Reconnect AC adapter and check to see that the AC POWER LED 8 goes on and the STC LED 2
