ABOUT THE COMMUNICATOR

The DualCom™ communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path and integrated primary and
secondary communication on one PCB. For commercial fire or residential fire installations, DualComNF modules
feature primary network communication, secondary cellular communication, and two sets of tip and ring terminals.
For non‑fire residential installations, DualComWZ modules feature built‑in primary Wi‑Fi communication, secondary
cellular communication, Z‑Wave integration, and one set of tip and ring terminals.

Use the DualCom communicator to take over panels. The communicator can be connected to a control panel’s dialer
output and used to capture Contact ID messages based on SIA DC‑05‑1999.09‑DCS.

The communicator also provides four input zones and two open‑collector outputs for connection to control panel
outputs and zones. Connect to the bell output of an existing control panel using zone4 on the communicator. The
communicator operates in a variety of applications: CID Dialer Connection, Zones1‑4 Input Connections, or Zone4
Bell Connection. See Applications.

DualComNF modules include a red enclosure and a Model 685‑R (Red) Backbox.

Control Panel Standby Power

During a power outage, the communicator draws power from the control panel’s backup battery. The communicator
must be included in the standby battery calculations for the control panel.

Zones 1‑4

Terminals Z1 to Z3, G(ground), Z4+ and Z4‑ provide four zones to connect to individual relay outputs on the control
panel. Zone4 (Z4+ and Z4‑) can be connected to the control panel bell output. See Zone4 Bell Connection.

Open‑Collector Outputs

Terminals O1 and O2 can be programmed to indicate the activity of the zones or conditions occurring on the system.
Open‑Collector outputs do not provide a voltage but instead switch‑to‑ground the voltage from another source.
Maximum voltage is 30VDC at 50mA. The outputs can respond to any of the conditions listed below:

• Activation by zone condition: Steady, Pulse, Momentary, or Follow

Programming (PROG) Connection

A 4‑pin programming header is provided to connect a keypad when using a DMP Model330 programming cable.
This provides a quick and easy connection for programming the communicator. For 24VDC applications using the
communicator, connect the keypad using a Model330‑24 4‑wire programming harness with an in‑line resistor. After
programming is complete, remove the keypad.

Caution: If connecting to a 24VDC control panel, do not connect a keypad using a Model330 harness.

Tamper

The tamper is pressed when the cover of the communicator is secured onto the enclosure. When the cover is
removed, the communicator sends a tamper trouble message to the central station.

Reset Button

The reset button is located on the upper right side of the circuit board and is used to reset the communicator. After
resetting the communicator, begin programming within 30minutes. If you wait longer than 30minutes, reset the
communicator again.

Note: After the panel is reset, cell suppression is disabled for 30 minutes.

Load Button

Firmware can be updated with the programming header. Firmware updates are available for download, free of charge,
on the DMP Dealer Direct website at DMP.com/Dealer_Direct.

Caution: Do not connect a Model401 to the communicator if using 24V power.

Performing a Firmware Update

To update the communicator with a new firmware version, complete the following steps at the protected premise:

399 Programming Cable

1. Connect a DMP 399 Cable from the programming header to the serial port of your PC operating RemoteLink
and containing the communicator RU file.

2. Start RemoteLink and create or open the account that matches the communicator to be updated.

3. Set the connection information type to direct with a baud rate of 38400 and choose the appropriate COM port.

4. Select Panel > Remote Update, then select the correct RU file for the communicator.

5. Press and hold the load button, then press and release the reset button.

6. Release the load button and select <Update> in Remote Link.

7. After the firmware update is completed, remove the 399 cable and press the reset button to resume normal
operation.

Model401 USB Flash Module

When loading the firmware RU file onto a USB drive, place the file in the root directory of the USB drive. The update
cannot be inside a folder. Format the USB drive as FAT32.

Place only one firmware file in the root directory. If more than one RU file exists on the USB drive, the communicator
will choose the RU file with the most recent date modified.

Caution: DualCom, CellCom, iCom, and XTL+ do not use the same RU files. Using the wrong RU file for the update
will cause the communicator to stop working until the correct RU file is used to flash the firmware.

1. Connect the USB flash drive to the Model401.

2. Press and hold the reset button on the communicator. You will continue to hold reset until step 6.

3. Connect the assembly to the communicator’s programming header.

4. Press and release the button on the Model401.

5. With your finger still on RESET, press and hold the load button. Continue to hold LOAD until step 8.

6. Release the reset button.

7. Press and release the button on the Model401.

8. When the green LED on the Model401 starts a slow flash, release the load button. The slow flash will last
5minutes, then the green LED will become steady, indicating the firmware version is updated.
Note: If the LED blinks rapidly, the update was unsuccessful. Press and release RESET. Begin again at step1

9. Press and hold RESET. Remove the Model401, then release RESET to resume normal operation.

In the event the Model401 USB Flash Module is inadvertently removed from the communicator before the update
finishes, repeat steps1‑9.

Tip 1

Figure 4: Wiring Diagram for Tip and Ring Connection

Communication Failure (DualComNF only)

The phone line voltage on the second tip and ring will drop when the DualComNF is in a communication failure state.
This triggers the host panel to annunciate a communication failure. When communication is restored, voltage is
restored on the second tip and ring terminal and the host panel sees a restoral on the phone line.

Zones 1‑4 Input Connection

Connect each control panel relay output to a zone on the communicator. For programming purposes, the zone
numbers are 1‑4. The following are examples of how you might use this application for a burglary or fire alarm.

Burglary

Use a normally closed output on a burglary control panel to indicate a burglary alarm. The communicator zone should
be programmed with a zone name and burglary zone type. When the output on the control panel turns on and trips
the communicator zone, a message is sent to an SCS‑1R or SCS‑VR receiver at the central station. The zone name
programming can be used to describe which control panel zone indicated a burglary. See Figure 5.

Note: Zone4 can only be used as a standard input zone when not programmed as zone type Auxiliary2 (A2). See
Zone4 Bell Connection.

Zone4 Bell Connection

Table 2: Message Breakdown

Zone4 (Z4+ and Z4‑) can be connected to the control panel bell output. This zone detects an alarm condition on the
control panel by monitoring the voltage and cadence timing of the bell output. The communicator evaluates the first

3.5seconds of bell cadence timing to detect the type of alarm sent. See Figure 6.
