3G Alarm Communicator Installation Manual Warning: Installer Please Read Carefully
WAR NING: INSTALLER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Note to Installers
The Warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only
individual in contact with system users, it is the installer’s responsibility to bring each item in this Warning to the attention of all users of
this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other
types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm
system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to
operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some, but not all, of the
reasons may be:
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent
a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or
prevent the proper operation of the system.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable
as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the
failure of a component.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which
could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of
these features. It is important that your security system be reviewed
periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it is
updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide
several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected
battery life is a function of the device environment, usage, and type.
Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures,
or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery
life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which
identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may
fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep
the system in good operating condition.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security
professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered.
Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate
as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the
level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and
after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police
department is highly recommended if this service is available.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a breakin, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident,
or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles,
alarm indicating devices, and any other operational devices that are
part of the system.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as
intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency
due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If
the system is remotely monitored, the response may not occur in time
to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas
as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple
beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed
areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions,
glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection
system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are
intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection
area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves,
barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other
security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries
to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in
good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by
AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device
inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any
length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may
damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a
power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete
system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for
property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for
property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert
occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow.
The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as
when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of
closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate
of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally
well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires
caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or
arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants
to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the
telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means
which may be difficult to detect.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn
people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or
door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be
alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with
by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices,
however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

SMS COMMAND AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
SMS Command and Control is available on SCW9055/57 panels. Users can send SMS text messages from their mobile phone to
the cellular phone number assigned to their system. Commands are only accepted from telephone numbers that have been programmed in Sections [311]-[318]. The system will reject messages sent from telephone numbers that are not on the programmed
list.
When the received SMS text matches a valid Section message, the function is performed on the control panel. Text messages are
not case sensitive and extra spaces are ignored. A User Access Code may be required for some SMS messages.
The User can send just the partition number or the complete label.(e.g., “Away arm Partition 2 1234” is treated the same as “away
arm 2 1234”).
The SMS Message format is in 3 parts: Command, Partition Label (or only the partition number), and Access Code.
If an Access Code is included in the message, it is sent to the control panel for validation, along with the requested function.
If the panel is configured to require an Access Code and the code is not sent (or invalid) the panel will fail the function (unsuccessful).

3G Alarm Communicator Installation Manual Label Programming for SMS Message
If the panel fails the function, an SMS response message is sent to the user. The SMS response will echo the command sent, followed by the label “unsuccessful”. (e.g., “night arm partition 2 1234 unsuccessful”).
The partition label or partition number may be excluded from the SMS request in a single partition system (e.g., disarm 9123).
NOTE: The communicator cellular phone number can be viewed in Section [851], [996] and/or [851], [229] or by user entering
*6, then scrolling down to ‘SMS Programming” and scrolling down to “Cellular phone No.” [<] [>] “Cellular Phone No.” at the
keypad. An Access Code is required for all SMS commands, except Help.
LABEL PROGRAMMING for SMS MESSAGE
Programmable Labels can be modified using DLS 5 for label programming only, if labels need to be modified. Before initiating remote
programming, record your network’s Public IP Address and port for incoming DLS 5 connections.
1. Run the DLS 5 software on your computer. DLS 5 will connect to the unit, using the Public IP address, and make an Ethernet
connection. If the Ethernet connection fails, DLS 5 will report an error and prompt you to connect using Cellular.
NOTE: If required, download the DLS 5 software from DSC: http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=library#self.
2. DLS will generate a prompt to enter the public IP and port of the computer with DLS, once this is completed an SMS message will
appear, send this SMS message to the communicator using a cellular device.
NOTE: The communicator phone number can be found in section [995].
3. SMS message will establish a connection to your computer ’s DLS 5 software (to change programming labels only).
4. Create an account for the panel/Communicator, select the Communicator type (e.g., SMS - 3G2055) and enter all relevant informa-

1. Using the keypad enter the installer mode: * 8 [installer code] [850].
2. View and record the number of bars showing on the SCW LCD.
3. Compare with the number of bars indicated in the “CSQ Levels” column shown in Table 9 .
4. If 3 or more bars are shown, the location is GOOD and no further action is required.
5. If the location is BAD, move the SCW to various suitable locations until 3 or more bars are obtained.

SYSTEM OPTIONS
[004] Receiver Supervision Interval
Default (0087/135)
When receiver supervision is enabled (ON) in Section [005] Toggle Option [3], the unit sends heartbeats to Cellular Receiver 1 to
test the communications path. Use this Section to set the interval time (in seconds) when heartbeats will be sent to the receivers.
Valid range 000A-FFFF seconds. If the programmed value is less than (000A/10) seconds, supervision is disabled.
• Receiver Window: This is the supervision timeout that must be configured at the central station receiver.
• Recommended Values: This is the recommended heartbeat interval that should be programmed into the Communicator.
[005] System Toggle Options
[2] Cellular Receiver 1 Supervised
Default (OFF)
ON: Cellular Receiver 1 will be supervised and heartbeats will be sent to Cellular Receiver 1 based on the supervision interval programmed in Section [004]. If ACK to heartbeat is not received, it is retransmitted every 5 seconds. Failure to ACK 2
consecutive heartbeats will reset the radio.
OFF: Cellular Receiver 1 will not be supervised. When disabled, heartbeat is not sent to the receiver. Supervisory trouble is
indicated.
NOTE: Cellular Receiver 2 can not be supervised.
[3] Supervision Type
Default (OFF)
ON: Heartbeat 1 (Commercial Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where swap detection is
required on the supervisory packet.
OFF: Heartbeat 2 (Residential Supervision). This supervision type is suitable for applications where supervision of the
communication path to the receiver is required. (no swap detection).
NOTE: Commercial supervision is more data intensive than residential supervision and should only be used when required to
meet the approval for the installation.
[4] Primary Path
Default (ON)
ON: Cellular channel is the primary path.
OFF: Not available.
[5] Not used
[6] Remote Firmware Upgrade
Default (ON)
ON: The Communicator module firmware can be remotely upgraded using the Ethernet/Cellular paths.
OFF: The Communicator module firmware can not be remotely upgraded. Local firmware upgrade is still possible.
[7] Alternate Test Transmissions
Default (OFF).
ON: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will alternate between being sent to the primary and secondary receivers with each test transmission interval.
OFF: When the periodic test transmission interval occurs, the test transmission will be sent to the programmed receivers,
based on the settings of the periodic test transmission reporting codes.
[8] Cellular Low Signal Trouble.
Default (OFF)
This option masks the Low Signal trouble from the Cellular trouble event.
ON
: A Cellular Trouble event is transmitted to receiver when the radio signal level falls below threshold level (average CSQ level is 4 or less).
OFF: A Cellular Trouble event is not transmitted to receiver when the radio signal level falls below threshold level (average
CSQ level is 4 or less).
