WARNING: INSTALLER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Note to Installers The Warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is the installer’s responsibility to bring each item in this Warning to the attention of all users of this system. System Failures This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some, but not all, of the reasons may be: Access by Intruders Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system. Component Failure Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component. Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference. Criminal Knowledge This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that your security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it is updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected. Failure of Replaceable Batteries This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage, and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition. Inadequate Installation A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available. Inadequate Testing Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a breakin, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices, and any other operational devices that are part of the system. Insufficient Time There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is remotely monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.

Motion Detectors Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation. Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on. Power Failure Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended. Security and Insurance Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation. Smoke Detectors Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building. Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death. Telephone Lines If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect. Warning Devices Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

3G2060 and TL2603G only To confirm that the cellular antenna location is suitable for radio operation, perform the placement test as follows: NOTE: You may need to relocate the Panel or install an optional extension antenna during this procedure, if radio signal strength is too low.
1. Confirm that the yellow LED on the Communicator is not flashing. A flashing yellow LED indicates trouble on the Communicator. See Table 7 to troubleshoot and correct the cause of this trouble before continuing to the next step.
2. Observe the strength of the radio signal on the yellow LED and the 2 green LEDs on the Communicator meet or exceed the minimum signal level requirement. Minimum Signal Level: The yellow LED is OFF and the Green LED 1 (furthest from the yellow LED) is ON. (i.e., not flashing) for the panel location to be acceptable. See table for “Radio Signal Strength” on page 12 for interpretation of receiver signal strength on LEDs.
NOTE: If the required signal strength is too low with the panel in its current location, the panel must be relocated or an external antenna is required.
a. If required, the following cellular extension antenna kits are available to the installer: · GS-15ANTQ – 4.57m (15′) Internal Antenna Extension Kit (Suitable for interior mounting only). · GS-25ANTQ – 7.62m (25′) External Antenna Extension Kit (Suitable for exterior mounting only). · GS-50ANTQ – 15.24m (50′)External Antenna Extension Kit (Suitable for exterior mounting only). Specific instructions for the installation of the extension antenna are included with the kit. Observe all the electrical safety instructions regarding the installation of the antenna. All the wiring of the equipment shall be fully compliant with the local rules and regulations. 3. If required, install the antenna extension and perform the following steps to determine the best location for placement of the antenna : a. Disconnect the white whip antenna from the panel. b. Attach one end of the antenna extension cable to the threaded antenna connector on the
panel and the other end to the external antenna. 4. Move the extension antenna to various locations while observing the two Green LEDs on the
panel. a. Continue to reposition the extension antenna until you receive an acceptable (minimum one
green LED ON solid) signal strength.
NOTE: Minimum strength is: green LED 1 flashing and yellow LED OFF. If green LED 1 is flashing, relocation should be considered.
b. Mount the supplied antenna extension bracket at the location that provides the best signal strength.
5. Alternately, you can reposition the Panel to improve signal strength. Dismount the panel and move it to another location to achieve the required signal strength. If the Panel is relocated to improve signal strength, mount it in the new location.

Trouble Causes
N/A
Check Section [382]Toggle Option[5] is ON (Cellular/Ethernet Module Enabled). Ensure the PC-LINK cable between the Panel and Communicator is connected properly (not reversed) and is securely in place.
The SIM card has incorrect PIN programmed or has a PIN that the module does not recognize. Replace the SIM card.
Confirm that cellular service is available and active in your area. Check all antenna connections. Ensure average radio signal strength is CSQ 5 or higher. Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card holder. Ensure the SIM card has been activated. (Could take up to 24 hrs after install). If this trouble persists, relocate the Panel (and Communicator) or install an external antenna extension kit.
Check with your ISP to confirm Internet service is active in your area. Ensure your Ethernet cable is securely inserted into the RJ45 jack of the Communicator and the Hub/Router/ Switch. Check that the link light on the Hub/Router/ Switch is ON. If link light is OFF, try restarting the Hub/Router/ Switch. If DHCP is used, ensure that the unit has an assigned IP address from the server. In Section [851] [992] verify a valid IP address is programmed. If not, contact the Network administrator. If problem persists, replace the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector.
Ensure that the Ethernet path has internet connectivity. If you are using a static IP address make sure the gateway and subnet mask are entered correctly. If the network has a firewall, ensure the network has the programmed outgoing ports open (Default UDP Port 3060 and Port 3065). Ensure that all the receivers are programmed for DHCP or have the proper IP address and port number. Ensure the cellular Receiver APNs have been programmed with the Access Point Name provided by your cellular provider.
This trouble is indicated when supervision is enabled and the unit is not able to successfully communicate with the receiver. If this trouble persists, contact your central station.
The unit has exhausted all communications attempts to all programmed receivers for events generated by the Communicator. Restart the system. If trouble persists, contact your dealer.
This indication appears when Section [021] System Account Code, Section [101], [111], [201], and [211] Receiver Account Code have not been programmed. Ensure that a valid account code has been entered in these Sections.

5. Receiver 1 Initialized
6. Receiver 2 Initialized
7. Receiver 3 Initialized
8. Receiver 4 Initialized
For example, the radio initialization status code 12-45— indicates that Radio has been powered up, the radio is attached to the network, and Receiver 1 has been initialized. This code could be followed with…567 if Receivers 2, 3, and 4 are initialized where applicable. If the radio initialization status code does not indicate any problems, proceed with installation as per this manual. If troubles are reported, reset the initialization process. If this action does not fix the problem, refer to Trouble shooting section in this manual. The following table shows each digit position in the status code, each digit’s value and its assigned meaning in the eight-digit code:
