Introduction

Section 1: Introduction

The Skyroute CL3050 is a standalone wireless communicator that sends alarm system infor­mation to Connect 24. Connect 24 then forwards this information to the central station.
The Skyroute CL3050 has four modes of operation. It can operate in one of three opera­tional modes or; if it is connected to a keypad, in the programming mode. The Skyroute
CL3050 is pre-programmed with the most commonly used settings for quick installation. If
required the default options can be custom programmed.

NOTE: For UL Installations, use mode 2 or 3 ONLY.

Mode 1: Bell Follower

In Mode 1, the Skyroute CL3050 monitors the Bell Output of the control panel.
The system identifies the Bell Output cadence and transmits the corresponding
Fire or Burglar alarm reporting code to Connect 24.
Refer to the appropriate control panel Installation Manual.

NOTE: Not for UL Listed installations.

Mode 2: 2-Zone Panel

In Mode 2, the system will configure itself for 2 zone, stand alone operation.

NOTE: UL Listed for residential burglary installations ONLY.

Mode 3: 8-Zone Panel

If the Skyroute CL3050 detects a PC5108 expander card on power up it will auto­matically configure itself for 8-zone standalone operation with normally closed
loops.

NOTE: Standalone operation is intended for household fire and burglary and it is
considered ancillary operation for commercial fire and burglary installations.

Programming Mode

If the Skyroute CL3050 detects a keypad on power up it will go into the program­ming mode. Programming mode allows the installer to custom program system
options. Refer to Section 5, Programming Descriptions; and Section 6, Program­ming Worksheets for programming options and default settings.

Section 4: Power up Sequence

On first-time power up, the Skyroute CL3050 will generate a random test trans­mission time and random day of the week to send it. The installer can then
change this information if required.

During power up, the Skyroute CL3050 will look for a keypad on the Keybus, if
one is found, it will go into the programming mode. If no keypad is found, it will
look for a PC5108 zone expander module. If a zone expander is found, it will
automatically configure itself for mode 3. If no Keybus modules are present, the
Skyroute CL3050 will power up in mode 1. During the first 15 seconds of power
up, any zone scanning will be shunted. During this time the installer can momen­tarily press the enroll button on the Skyroute CL3050 to toggle between mode 1
and mode 2. Upon power up the green LED will be flashing on and off. This will
indicate to the installer that he/she can change the mode to 1 or 2. The red LED
will indicate mode 1 and the yellow LED will indicate mode 2. If neither red or yel­low LED is lit, then the Skyroute CL3050 has detected a PC5108 module, the
mode cannot be changed by pressing the enroll button if a PC5108 module is
connected to the Skyroute CL3050.
If a keypad is detected on Keybus, the green LED will stop flashing, and the red
LED will begin flashing to indicate that programming mode is active.

Section 6: Programming Descriptions

[01] Zone 1, 2 Definitions

When the Skyroute CL3050 is in Mode 2 or 3, there are 14 options that can be
programmed as zone types. All of the zone types with the exception of 00 (null
zone), 13 (CL3050 communications zone) and 14 (trouble zone) are straightfor­ward. Since all the zones are 24-hour type zones, selecting any listed zone type
will simply select which identifier should be used for reporting the alarm. Pro­gramming a zone as 00 (null zone) will disable the zone input on the Skyroute
CL3050 or PC5108 hardware. Programming any zone as type 13 (CL3050 com­munications zone) will disable all communications unless that zone input is closed
(short condition). Programming a zone as 14 ( trouble zone) will enable an addi­tional reporting code to be sent with the daily/weekly test transmission (if
enabled). If all zones are restored and there are no trouble conditions present on
the Skyroute CL3050, a periodic test transmission code (RP00) will be sent. other­wise a periodic test off-normal code (RY00) will be sent instead.

NOTE: Do NOT program more than 1 CL3050 communications zone or trouble
zone on the Skyroute CL3050.

[15] System Time

When the time and day have been programmed, the values are saved and are
used as the current time and day whenever the Skyroute CL3050 does a power
up. Time and day programming is only required if the installer desires the Sky­route CL3050 to test transmit at a specific time and/or day. There is no "loss of
time" trouble on the Skyroute CL3050.

See section [15].
Option 1. (Sunday) Default - ON
Option 2 - 8. (Monday - Saturday) Default - OFF

[17] Test Transmission Time

When the Skyroute CL3050 is powered up for the first time, or after a default
reset; it will check if the test transmission time and day are programmed. If they
are not, a random time (0000 - 2359) will be programmed into this location. The
Skyroute CL3050 will randomly generate this value.

NOTE: Due to traffic volume, when selecting test transmission times, select a
time that is not on the :30 minute mark (e.g., 02:24, 04:07).

[18] Test Transmission Day

When the Skyroute CL3050 is powered up for the first time, or after a default, it
will check if the test transmission time and day are programmed. If they are not,
a random day (Sunday-Saturday) will be programmed into this location. The Sky­route CL3050 will randomly generate this value. Because one test transmission
weekly is the most common configuration, this will allow the installer to setup
the Skyroute CL3050 without keypad programming.
Option 1-8. Default - [Random] - One only will be enabled.

When the system sees an open circuit across any zone a zone tamper is gener­ated. DEOL resistors are required for zone tamper reporting. In Section [11],
Option [2] must be set to OFF and Option [3] must be set to ON. In Section [13],
Option [3] must be set to ON and the Skyroute CL3050 must be operating in

Option 7 - System Maintenance Events All Modes

When this option is enabled, the maintenance events enabled in Section [21] are
transmitted using the codes listed in appendix A.
Default - ON,

Option 8 - Generic Zones Modes 2, 3

The Skyroute CL3050 supports generic and detailed zone alarm reporting. By
default, the Skyroute CL3050 will be in generic zone reporting mode. When in
this mode, all zone types are divided into four reporting groups; BA Burg, FA Fire,
PA Panic, UA Technical. If any zone from this group initiates a transmission, the
generic reporting code for this event is sent, additional violations from other
zones from the same group will be ignored until that group's timer has expired.
See table below for zone type grouping.

Each zone group has it's own timer. The default time is 5 minutes and is pro­grammed in Section [23]. If any zone in a group initiates an event, the timer will
start running and the generic event will be sent. If any additional zones from the
same group initiate an event before that group's timer expires, the event will be
ignored. This generic zone reporting mode only applies to zone alarms. Alarm
restorals, tamper/tamper restorals and fault/fault restorals are not grouped
together into generic reporting groups.
The generic identifier will be sent with 98 as it's zone number, this is a special
combination recognized by Connect 24 as a generic event. When the generic
zone reporting toggle is disabled, each zone alarm for each zone type will then
send it's own identifier. Default - ON.

NOTE: The CL3050 communication zone and trouble zone will always send
detailed reporting codes.
