F. Installing the Antenna
The antenna comes with an SMA connector, which provides
easy connection with the communicator.
Important
• Do not use a damaged antenna with the communicator.
Replace the damaged antenna immediately.
• Use only a manufacturer approved antenna. Non-approved
antennas or modifications could impair service quality,
damage the device, and violate FCC regulations.
• A location below the ground level or a metal structure may
impact the network coverage.
• The antenna should be positioned perpendicularly to the
ground, either right side up or upside down.
• Keep the antenna away from any sources interfering with or
blocking the RF signal.
For example, a metal object may shield the cellular radio RF
signal.
• The antenna should be at least 7.8" (20 cm) away from
people.
• The antenna must not be co-located or operating with any
other antenna or transmitter.
• Ensure that the panel supplies 24V DC power from its
constant power output.
To Connect the Antenna
1. Route the antenna cable through the small rubber grommet
located on the top-left side of the enclosure.
2. Attach the magnet at the bottom of the antenna onto the top
wall of the enclosure.
3. Locate the antenna connector on top of the communicator.
4. Thread the antenna cable end onto the antenna connector and
tighten it.
5. Loop the excess cable length inside the enclosure.
G. Wiring for Dialer Capture
For dialer capture, you connect both dialer ports of the fire panel
with the communicator.
All wiring must be within a conduit.
Preparations
• For panel dialer ports with 8-pin RJ type connectors, use an
RJ45 connector with the other end as a pigtail.
• Use only the Pin 4 wire, which is typically Blue with White
stripe, for RING connection.
• Use only the Pin 5 wire, which is typically solid Blue, for TIP
connection.
• Cut all other wires.

H. Powering ON
1. Power ON the communicator and the panel.
2. Ensure that the panel and communicator are receiving
required power.
I. Activating the CLSS Pathway
A panel event activates the CLSS Pathway communications.
Create a test event and check that the device is activated.
J. Verifying the Connections
Troubleshooting
If no events are received: Verify the RING and TIP connections.
Then, check for communication failure error messages at the
panel and fix the error, if any. Disable the Wait for Dial Tone
options in the panel.
Cellular Connectivity issues: Go to the Device Registration screen
on the CLSS App. Ensure that the signal strength shown on it is
at least one to two bars. Reposition the antenna for higher signal
strength.
