Central Station needs to give you the account number. The same account number is used for both Internet and GSM transmissions. If your current Central Station is capable of receiving signals from the Honeywell NOC, they are capable of receiving signals from the communicator.
IGSMV4G / IGSMVCN4G Installation and Setup Guide are sent to the Honeywell NOC and then forwarded to your Central Station exactly the same way as if they were received via the Internet. If the Internet AND GPRS (part of the GSM cellular network) are both unavailable, the communicator will attempt to send the transmission via SMS (Short Message Service), also known as a text message.

(Honeywell transformer # 1361CN not included with the IGSMVCN4G.) Current Drain: 220mA standby, 380mA active 6V, 3.1AH, (Honeywell # K14139 included with IGSMV4G only.) Backup Battery: Expected Battery Life: 5 Years (approx.) Note: The sealed lead acid battery used for backup will have reduced life expectancy when exposed to elevated temperatures.
For UL installations and ULC Commercial Burglary Installations, any compatible UL or ULC (respectively) Listed Control Panel may be used. Note, that any control panel that does not communicate via Honeywell's ECP data bus is compatible using zone Trigger Mode. For ULC Commercial Fire Installations, only ULC Listed Subscriber's Unit Panels which use Honeywell's ECP data bus are compatible.

IGSMV4G / IGSMVCN4G Installation and Setup Guide Mounting the Communicator The communicator can be mounted in two ways depending on the installation requirements. ULC NOTES: For Commercial Fire installations, the communicator must be mounted to a single or double gang box. 1.
Section 2: Mounting and Wiring Mounting Procedure, IGSMVCN4G (with rear tamper switch) For Canadian installations where the rear tamper switch is used, this procedure requires the removal of the printed circuit boards and installation of the tamper screw. 1. Remove the two mounting screws, and standoff from the daughter card, as shown in Step A below.
The IGSMV4G requires an optional audio cable (GSMV-AUDIO, grey) to support two-way voice using the AVS Base Unit. Note the AVS Base Unit is part of Honeywell’s AVS Audio Verification System. This system consist of the AVS Base Unit, Remote Station, and the Remote Station PC board.
Check the Installation and Setup Guide for the control panel you are using to see if it supports ECP communication. Connect the communicator to a compatible Honeywell VISTA control panel's ECP terminals, in parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices such as RF receiver, VIP module, etc.
IGSMV4G / IGSMVCN4G Installation and Setup Guide Wiring for Zone Trigger Mode To trip a zone using a positive trigger, the voltage level must be: 6V or greater = positive trigger. (Levels above +14V may cause damage to the unit.) 4V or less = restore.
Section 2: Mounting and Wiring ULC Installation (Zone mode) Wiring the Zone 1 Input for Zone Trigger Mode Wiring the Fault Relay You may wire and program the communicator's fault output trigger for fail-safe mode (see the question "FLT REL ON Y/N"). To sense a communicator fault at the control panel, see the figure below and make the following connections.
• You must use the Honeywell 1361 Transformer. • This configuration ONLY applies to the VISTA-10P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P control panels when used with the IGSMV4G Communicator.

NOTE: When calculating the total load on the auxiliary power output of the control panel, budget 10mA for the communicator when using ECP mode.
IGSMV4G / IGSMVCN4G Installation and Setup Guide Backup Battery Connection The included battery (K14139) is used for backup in the event of power loss to the commu- nicator. It does not provide power to the control panel. In ULC installations this battery is not connected, and all backup power is supplied by the control panel.

4204 Emulation Mode In 4204 Emulation Mode, the IGSMV4G communicates with a compatible Honeywell VISTA series or First Alert control panel as though it were a 4204 Relay Module. If two 4204s are enabled in the communicator, it acts as two 4204s at consecutive device addresses. The control panel must be configured to recognize one or two 4204 relay modules accordingly.
