Installing Plug-In Communication and Audio Modules
See the installation instructions included with each module for installation details,
and see Main Panel Wiring Diagram, page 25.
CAUTION: Before installing any communication or audio module, in order to
prevent damage to system components, make sure the main panel is NOT
powered up, and that the panel’s backup battery is DISCONNECTED.
Installing a GSM Module
GSM modules provide voice and data communication over a cellular network.
The G2 and G3 GSM modules provide generation 2 and 3 GSM communication.
The procedure for installing the single-socket GSM/GPRS module is the same
procedure as for the multi-socket GSM 2G / GSM 3G modules.
To install a GSM module:
1. Ensure the main panel is powered off.
2. Install the GSM module according to the installation instructions packaged with
the module, as well as the Main Panel Wiring Diagram, page 25 for the module’s
connection location on the main panel PCB.
3. Ensure the antenna is attached onto its connector on the GSM module, and then
slide the antenna into place on the box/enclosure housing according to the
instructions packaged with the specific box/enclosure being used.
4. Insert the dedicated SIM card and, if required, enter its enabling PIN. You can
disable the SIM PIN in advance by placing it in a cell phone and then disabling
it, or you can disable it later during installer programming (where you can enter
or disable the PIN) and also manually define the APN, if needed (see Defining
APN Automatically and Manually, page 56).
IMPORTANT:
• Ensure that you remember the PIN for the SIM card. If you forget it and the
SIM is locked, you may need to contact your cellular provider to unlock it.
• Do not install SIM card while power is applied to the ProSYS Plus.
• Do not touch SIM card connectors/circuitry. Doing so may release an electrical
discharge that could damage the SIM card.
• Once the SIM card is installed, it is recommended to test the operation of the
SIM by conducting a call and testing the GSM signal strength.
