General Information

The CDMA-X Communicator, herein referred to as the communicator, easily connects to your security system's control
panel and sends alarms and messages to AlarmNet for subsequent transfer to the central monitoring station. It can be
mounted directly on the control panel or remotely.
The CDMA-X requires an AlarmNet account. For new installations, please obtain the account information
from the central station prior to programming.
The CDMA-X communicates with AlarmNet using the CDMA 1X RTT cellular network as a means of data transfer.
In addition to alarm reporting, the communicator provides two-way voice communications with the central station (when
used with Honeywell's AVS Audio Verification System) and provides upload/downloading capability of Honeywell's control
panel data over the Internet.
NOTE
Two-way voice has not been evaluated by compliance agency.
NOTE: Two-way voice is not compatible with Honeywell Commercial Control Panels (such as the VISTA-128/250 series).
NOTE: Due to Honeywell's continuing effort to improve our products, your device may look slightly different than
pictured.

Supervision and Fault Detection

Network communication failure – In the event the AlarmNet network does not hear a supervisory message from
•
the communicator within a specified time ("Supervision" option, 24 hours, 30 days, or none), AlarmNet notifies
the central station of a communication failure.
Communication path failure – In the event the module detects a communication path failure, both the Central
•
Station and the control panel can be notified of the trouble condition. The failure is considered a true fault when
the fault time has expired ("Cell Fault Time" option) provided it has been set to a non-zero value. Notification is
sent to the central station upon this expiration.
