C24 Communications Enrollment
The LE4000 requires enrolment with C24 Communications to operate. For more information, please visit www.connect24.com, con-
tact C24 Communications customer service at 1-888-251-7458 (US) / 1-888-955-5583 (Canada) or contact the central station to
inquire if they are a C24 Communications Master Reseller.
Note:
Enrollment with C24 Communications should be performed before turning on the LE4000 unit.
Before inserting or removing the SIM card, please ensure the unit is turned off.
Step 1 - Initialize the LE4000 with C24 Communications
The LE4000 can be initialized with C24 Communications by:
web - www.connect24.com
mobile - m.connect24.com
To complete enrollment, a C24 profile, installer ID/PIN (or web credentials) and the 20-digit SIM number are required.
Note:
The SIM activation process with the cellular carrier typically takes between five and ten minutes to complete.
Step 2 - Determine the Best Signal Location
1. Remove the front cover by inserting a screwdriver into each of the slots at the bottom of the enclosure and pushing down.
2. Apply power (DC and/or battery). The LE4000 is now in Placement Test mode.
Step 2a – SIM Card is Activated.
The red LED will be on solid, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength. In this
state, the LE4000 is registered to the cellular network.

If the signal strength is too low (bottom signal LED off or flashing), the LE4000 will move to
Step 3
and scan for carriers with suf-
ficient signal strength and attach to the carrier. If the LE4000 is connected to a carrier with sufficient signal strength (minimum of bot-
tom signal strength LED on solid), it will move to
Step 4
.
Step 2b – SIM Card is Not Activated
The red LED will flash, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength.

In this state, the LE4000 is unable to register to the cellular network because it is inactive. The signal strength indicated is from
any
nearby cell tower (including cellular towers belonging to non-roaming partners) and does
not
necessarily reflect the signal strength of
the intended network. The LE4000 will remain in this state until the SIM is activated. Once the SIM is activated, the LE4000 will
move to
Step 2a
.
Step 3 – Carrier Scanning Due To Insufficient Signal Strength
The LE4000 will scan the surrounding cellular network and connect to the carrier to provide a signal strength of at least 7 CSQ. When
this action is being performed, all four LEDs will activate to show a scanning sequence. The LEDs will cycle from top to bottom and
then bottom to top. This cycle will continue until the LE4000 is connected to a carrier with a signal strength above 7 CSQ (minimum
of bottom signal strength LED on solid). This process can take several minutes.
The carrier scanning sequence repeats until complete.
