DMP CELLCOMF-LTE-V Universal LTE Fire Alarm Communicator User Guide

ECP PASSTHRU OVERVIEW

CellCom and DualCom Universal Communicators enable you to take over and manage ECP panels with connection to the ECP Bus. This feature is called ECP Passthru.

This guide is designed to walk you through ECP passthru installation and setup. For more complete information, refer to the CellCom Installation Guide (LT-1817) or the DualCom Installation Guide (LT-1859).

Procedure

The installation must follow this procedure:
Step 1: Mount the communicator.
Step 2: Wire the communicator.
Step 3: Program Vista keypad device address 20
Step 4: Configure ECP settings (remotely or locally)

Required Materials

The following software and hardware components are required to perform system takeovers:

A Mounting Holes
B Cellular Antenna
C SMA Connector
D Cell Modem
E Tamper
F Programming Connection
G Terminal Block
H Load and Reset Buttons
I Power and Armed LEDs
J Ethernet (DualCom only)

FIG 1 ECP PASSTHRU OVERVIEW

Step 1: MOUNT THE COMMUNICATOR

It is not necessary to remove the PCB from the housing when installing the communicator.

The communicator should be mounted to a wall using the included #6 screws in the mounting holes. Refer to Figure 1 for mounting hole locations.

Mount the communicator in a secure, dry place to protect it from tampering and weather damage. If using a 685 Series Conduit Backbox, refer to the 685 Installation Sheet (LT-1431) for mounting instructions.

Step 2: WIRE THE COMMUNICATOR

The communicator can be connected to the ECP Bus of a VISTA panel. See Table 1 and Figure 2 for the necessary wiring connections.
Caution: Remove all AC and battery power from the panels before wiring.

  1. Attach the antenna to the SMA connector. Refer to Figure 1.

  2. Connect system batteries as needed, then connect the panels to an appropriate power source.

  3. Connect a programming keypad to the communicator.
    a. For 12 VDC applications, connect the keypad to the communicator PROG header with a Model 330 programming harness.
    b. For 24 VDC applications, connect the keypad to the communicator PROG header with a
    Model 330‑24V programming harness with an in-line resistor.

  4. After programming is complete, remove the keypad and replace the housing cover on the mounted base.

Note: Address 1 is reserved by the system for programming keypads.

Step 3: PROGRAM THE VISTA KEYPAD

In this step, you will program VISTA Keypad 5 Device Address 20. This enables the VISTA panel to communicate with a CellCom or DualCom. This step must be performed locally at the VISTA panel.

  1. Power down and then power up the VISTA panel.
  2. Within 1 minute of powering up the VISTA panel, simultaneously press and hold the # and * buttons on the keypad.
  3. The keypad displays INSTALLER CODE. Enter the installer code (default is 4112), followed by 8 0 0.
  4. Enter *193, then enter 1 0.
  5. To save and exit programming, enter *99.

Step 4: CONFIGURE ECP SETTINGS

For the communicator to properly process data from the VISTA panel, keypad input must be set to ECP. You can perform this programming remotely with Dealer Admin or locally with a programming keypad.

Remote programming requires communicators with firmware Version 212 or higher. Local configuration requires communicators with firmware Version 202 or higher.

During configuration, refer to “Troubleshooting” for programming messages and troubleshooting steps.

Remotely (Dealer Admin)

Before programming, ensure the ECP panel’s IP address is set as default.

  1. Go to Customers.
  2. Find and select the system name.
  3. Go to Full Programming > System Options.
  4. In Keypad Input, select ECP.
  5. In ECP Partition, enter the number of the partition where you want the communicator to operate.
  6. Press Begin ECP Setup.
  7. If the host panel is a VISTA 128, turn on VISTA 128.
  8. Enter the host panel’s installer code in VISTA Installer Code.
  9. Press Begin.
  10.  After setup is complete, Dealer Admin automatically retrieves zones from the host panel. If you need to retrieve zones again later, open System Options and select Get Zones.

Locally (Keypad)

To advance through the programming menu, press CMD. To go back, press the Back Arrow key. To enter a menu, press any select key or area. To select an option, press the select key or area under that option.
Before programming, ensure the ECP panel’s IP address is set as default.

  1. Power up or reset the communicator.
  2. At the communicator keypad, enter 6653 (PROG) and press CMD.
  3. Advance to SYSTEM OPTIONS, then press any select key or area to enter the menu.
  4. Advance to KYPD INPUT, then press any select key or area.
  5. Select ECP by pressing the third select key or area under that option.
  6.  At ECP PARTN NBR, enter the number of the partition where you want the communicator to operate. Range is 1 – 8. Default is 1.
  7. To save programming, advance to STOP and press any select key or area.
  8. At the communicator keypad, enter 2313 (DIAG) and press CMD.
  9.  Advance to ECP SETUP and press any select key or area.
  10. At ECP SETUP VISTA 128?: If the panel is a VISTA 128, select YES. Otherwise, select NO.
  11.  At INST CODE, enter the ECP panel installer code and press CMD.
  12.  After configuration is finished, the keypad advances to GET ZONES. Press any select key or area.
    As the communicator retrieves zones from the ECP panel, the number of zones is displayed and incremented as ZONE CT (zone count).
