Honeywell HW-AV-LTE-M - Section 2: Overview; Description; Operational Modes; Working with a Central Monitoring Station

SECTION 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The CLSS Pathway (HW-AV-LTE-M) is a sole path cellular communicator or dual-path IP/cellular communicator using 12VDC to
24VDC- from the fire alarm control panel, it supports both Verizon LTE and AT&T networks. The SIM cards are configured in an
active/active state, and will automatically fail over from Verizon to AT&T in the event of a cellular outage. It transmits Contact ID,
SIA, or 4X2 data from the fire alarm control panel to the supervising station or monitoring center.
Pathway will Auto detect Cotnact ID and SIA format form the FACP. If 4x2 to be used, this has to be specified during pathway
installation in CLSS.
2.2 OPERATIONAL MODES
The communicator can operate in one of the following mode:
l
Dialer Capture Mode: Analog life safety events are captured from the panel’s dialer interface and transmitted digitally over the
cellular or IP network.
l
Dry Contact Relay Monitor Mode: Output relays from the fire alarm control panel are used to trigger four pre-configured pathway
inputs. The inputs are locked to IN1: Trouble, IN2: Fire Alarm, IN3: Waterflow, and IN4: Supervisory. Additional PAM1 relays are
required to initiate a trouble condition on the FACP indicating a communication path failure.
2.2.1 WORKING WITH A CENTRAL MONITORING STATION
In a sole-path connection, it uses the default cellular connection only.
The communicator has dual-SIMs to support Verizon and AT&T cellular connections. Verizon will be the primary carrier and fail over
to AT&T in the event the Verizon network becomes unavailable. Once locked onto the AT&T network, the CLSS pathway will
periodically check the Verizon network availability and return to its primary carrier.
Note : If Verizon have poor network in the location where pathway is getting installed, contact Honeywell Tech Support to switch
AT&T as primary and Verizon as secondary .
In a dual-path connection, it can use both cellular and IP connections. The LAN will be the primary communication path and the
cellular connections will be the backup connection. The CLSS pathway does not support sole path IP.
