Cellular backup communication
To check the cellular communication between the panel and the central monitoring station, do the following:
1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you are testing the system.
2. Install and activate the SuperBus 2000 cellular backup module.
3. Verify or change the following CS phone panel option settings shown in Table 17.:.
*Can be set to ON if no CS phone 2 phone number is programmed.
Note: If the current settings do not match the test settings, record the current settings (Table 16 on page 121), so
that they can be restored when this test is complete.
4. Disconnect the phone line by unplugging the DB-8 cord from the RL 31X jack.
5. Initiate a phone test (8 + system master code + 2).
6. The phone test attempt should fail via the phone line within 5 minutes. The panel will emit a long low
tone (and speak “phone failure 1” if so equipped).
7. Wait for the phone test to succeed via the cell backup. The panel should emit a short high tone (and
speak “phone test okay” if so equipped).
8. Verify the CS report.
9. If success does not occur, verify that the signal strength (RSSI) shown on the cellular backup module is
acceptable and repeat the process.
