User Guide

Quick Start Guide
The CLSS Pathway (HW-AV-LTE-M) is a dual-path cellular communicator, which runs on a 24-volt power from its panel. Itsupports both AT&T and Verizon LTE networks,  and uses any of them with a stronger signal. It transmits Contact ID data from itfire panel to the panel’s central monitoring station.
Other Features
The communicator also has other features, including secondary data transmission via an Ethernet connection as well as monitoring dry-contact relay outputs.

D. Programming the Connected Panel
Program according to the panel’s programming document.

• Enabling the PSTN dialer of the panel
• Selecting the DTMF mode (for tone dialing)
• Selecting the Contact ID communication format
• Providing any telephone number for dialing. Ex: 999999
• Entering the 4-digit account number

E. Mounting the Communicator
You can mount the communicator within a UL-listed enclosure, or optionally, within the HW-AV-ENC.
Warnings

• Before mounting and wiring, ensure that the panel is powered down.
• Only a regulated UL-Listed UOJZ, UTOU, or NBSX control panel or power supply should power the communicator.
• The communicator must be connected to a UL-Listed compatible panel with power limited circuits.
• Install the communicator only at a dry indoor location.
• The location and wiring methods must be in accordance with the National Electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
• Install in accordance with the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.

To Mount the Communicator
Mount the communicator and wire for dialer connections as in the Figure 2: The Wiring Diagram.

| For UL installations, secure the communicator to a UL-listed enclosure, such as a UL-listed junction box.
---|---
| Enclosure should be close nipple to the fire alarm control panel.

1. Check that you have the communicator, 3ft antenna, and this Quick Start Guide from the carton box.

2. In this Quick Start Guide, locate the installation sticker in the Serial Number and Configuration Key section. It is at the bottom right of the last page.

3. Check that the sticker has the serial number and the configuration key to program the communicator.

4. Place the sticker on the inside lid of the enclosure.

5. If using the HW-AV-ENC, mount the enclosure onto the two mounting holes as in Figure 1 and secure it with the hardware supplied with the enclosure.
   For other enclosures, use the communicator box’ mounting flanges as a template to drill holes for appropriate sized mounting hardware. (Not supplied).

6. Slide the box onto these screws and tighten the screws.

F. Installing the Antenna
The antenna comes with an SMA connector, which provides easy connection with the communicator.
Important

• Do not use a damaged antenna with the communicator.
  Replace the damaged antenna immediately.

• Use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Non-approved antennas or modifications could impair service quality, damage the device, and violate FCC regulations.

• A location below the ground level or a metal structure may impact the network coverage.

• The antenna should be positioned perpendicularly to the ground, either right side up or upside down.

• Keep the antenna away from any sources interfering with or blocking the RF signal.
  For example, a metal object may shield the cellular radio RF signal.

• The antenna should be at least 7.8″ (20 cm) away from people.

• The antenna must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter.
  • Ensure that the panel supplies 24V DC power from its constant power output.

To Connect the Antenna

1. Route the antenna cable through the small rubber grommet located on the top-left side of the enclosure.
2. Attach the magnet at the bottom of the antenna onto the top wall of the enclosure.
3. Locate the antenna connector on top of the communicator.
4. Thread the antenna cable end onto the antenna connector and tighten it.
5. Loop the excess cable length inside the enclosure.

G. Wiring for Dialer Capture
For dialer capture, you connect both dialer ports of the fire panel with the communicator.
All wiring must be within a conduit.

Preparations

• For panel dialer ports with 8-pin RJ type connectors, use an RJ45 connector with the other end as a pigtail.
• Use only the Pin 4 wire, which is typically Blue with White stripe, for RING connection.
• Use only the Pin 5 wire, which is typically solid Blue, for TIP connection.
• Cut all other wires.

Communicator Troubleshooting

OFF| Communicator is not connected to thepanel| Verify that the wiring is as per the wiring diagram
---|---|---
No power from the panel| Measure and ensure required AUX output from the panel
Damaged communicator| Replace the communicator

Connection Troubleshooting
If no events are received: Verify the RING and TIP connections.
Then, check for communication failure error messages at the panel and fix the error, if any. Disable the Wait for Dial Tone options in the panel.
Cellular Connectivity issues: Go to the Device Registration screen on the CLSS App. Ensure that the signal strength shown on it is at least one to two bars. Reposition the antenna for higher signal strength.
