The communicator functions with any control panel that utilizes a Honeywell ECP bus and supports a communicator (or
LRR).

Compliance

This device has been tested by ETL to meet the following standards:
• UL985 – Residential Fire
• UL1023 – Residential Burg

Mount and Wire the Module

Select a Mounting Location

When choosing a suitable mounting location, understand that it must be mounted indoors, and for best signal strength it
should be mounted vertically. Signal strength is very important for proper operation. For most installations, mounting
the unit on the control panel provides adequate signal strength and we suggest that this method is tried first. Especially
if the control panel is not in a basement location or in an area that contains large metal objects.
Warning – The internal or external antenna(s) used with this product must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 7.8 in. (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
If the control panel location does not provide adequate signal strength, then the communicator can be mounted remotely.

Activate the Communicator

NOTE: The communicator must be ACTIVATED first in order for signal strength to be determined.
Once the communicator is installed and programmed, it must be Registered with AlarmNet. Registering activates the
account with AlarmNet and enables the security system's control panel to send reports.

Log in and follow the on-screen prompts. At this time only activate the communicator so signal strength may be checked.
DO NOT register the communicator at this time. Please have the following information available to activate the
communicator:
MAC number and MAC CRC (located on the box and inside the communicator).

Verify Satisfactory Signal Strength

In this procedure you will temporarily power up the communicator to check for satisfactory signal strength. You can
power it from a 12V battery or from the control panels AUX PWR terminals. In buildings where reception may be a
problem, powering from a battery would allow the communicator to be portable. The following procedure assumes the
control panel will be used for power. (If satisfactory signal strength is present at the control panel that is the preferred
mounting location.)
1. Ensure power to the control panel (both AC and battery) is off. Open the enclosure and connect the ECP cable to
the communicator. Temporarily attach the Black and Red wires to the GND and AUX PWR terminals of the
control panel. DO NOT connect the Yellow and Green wires at this time.
2. Turn power on and wait about one minute for the communicator to initialize. Position the communicator near a
suitable mounting position. Verify the SIGNAL LED (green) lights steady. This indicates satisfactory signal
strength.
