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 these 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 (Cellular) 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 Cellular 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 a nd 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 break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a
storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of con structi on
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.

contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system use rs, it is the

Warning

to the attention of all users of this system.

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 p artitions, 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 or other appli­ances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however
loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

NOTE: For equipment used at the protected premises and intended to facilitate IP communications (hubs,
routers, NIDs, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), Cable modems), 24 hour back-up power is required. Where
such cannot be facilitated, a secondary (back-up) communication channel is required.

Domain Name Service (DNS) programming is not permitted in UL/ULC listed systems.

Notes for using Private, Corporate, and High Speed Data Networks:

Network access and domain access policies shall be set to restrict unauthorized network access, and spoofing
or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Select an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has redundant servers/sys­tems, back-up power, routers with firewalls enabled, and methods to identify and protect against DoS attacks
(e.g., via spoofing).

Notes for using Public Switched and Cellular Data Networks:

Communication channels shall be facilitated such that the Communicator will restrict unauthorized access,
which could otherwise compromise security. The Communicator shall be located in a secured area.

•For ULC Residential Fire and Burglary applications the TL260GS-SM can be used as primary communica-
tion channel via either GSM or Ethernet or as a back-up in conjunction with the Digital Alarm Communicator
Transmitter (DACT). Test transmission every 24 hours shall be enabled on each channel.

•For ULC Commercial Fire and Burglary applications the GS2060-SM and TL260GS-SM can be used as a
passive communication module with the following Security Levels:

• P1 (each channel GSM or Ethernet is independent),

• P2 (GSM and Ethernet in back-up configuration, Panel Section [851][005] T oggle Option [5] OFF),

• P3 (GSM and Ethernet in redundant configuration, Panel Section [851][005] Toggle Option [5] ON).

• The Communicator can also be used as an Active communication system with the Security Levels A1-A4
(each channel GPRS or Ethernet independent or together in a back-up/redundan t configuration). For Active
Line Security systems AES128 bit encryption shall be enabled (at the monitoring station receiver) and the
supervision heartbeat rate shall be set as 90 seconds (Panel Section [851][004] = 005A/90). The supervi­sion window at the Signal Receiver Center (SRC)'s receiver shall be programmed as maximum of
180 (00B4/180) seconds.

•For UL Residential Fire and Burglary applications the GS2060-SM andTL260GS-SM can be used as the
primary communication channel via either GSM or Ethernet, or as a back-up in conjunction with the DACT
(30 day test transmission is required on each channel).

•For UL Commercial Burglary applications the TL260GS-SM can be used as Dual Signa lling Line commun i-
cation system (GPRS and Ethernet channels used in redundant configuration), Standard Line Security and
as Encrypted Line Security.

• The supervision heartbeat shall be enabled (Panel Section [851][005] Toggle Option [1] (Ethernet) and/or
Toggle Option [2] (GSM) shall be ON), Toggle Option [3] (Supervision T yp e) shall be ON a nd the supervi sion
heartbeat rate shall be selected as 135 (0087/135) seconds. Option [004] = 0087. The supervision window
at the supervising station shall be maximum 200 (00C8/200) seconds. For Encrypted Line Security systems
the encryption AES128 bit shall be enabled at the monitoring station receiver.

•For UL Commercial Burglary installations, the GS2060-SM is listed as a primary (sole) communication
means (heartbeat must be enabled) or for supplementar y (back-up) use in co njunction with a Plain Ol d Tele­phone Service (POTS) line dialer. When the heartbeat transmission over the Ethernet or GPRS network is
enabled, using the TL260GS-SM with a compatible control unit listed for standard/encrypted line security, it
can provide line security for the alarm system over the primary line.

• The TL260GS-SM is also suit abl e to be used with a compatible control unit listed for dual line security trans­mission when used in conjunction with a DACT or a Public Switched Data Network (PSDN) transmitter,
where the PSDN provides the line security and is the primary line. In this mode, alarm signals are required
to be sent simultaneously over both communication methods.

Software Compatibility

The Communicator is compatible with the following ADT Pulse software:

• iControl Interactive.

• System Administrator.

ADT Pulse

NOTE: This application has not been investigated by UL/ULC and is not used on UL/ULC certified
installations.

The Communicator provides ADT Pulse Level 1, 2, and 3 monitoring and control via an RS-422 interface to an
external iHub. The default Keybus link speed is 115.2 KB and this option is programmable by the installer. All
life-safety events are encrypted and transmitted by the GPRS path to the central monitoring station (Level 1).
All life-style events are transmitted by the RS-422 link, using I Tv2.0 protocol to t he iHub, and then to remot e the
iControl Servers (Level 2 and Level 3).

NOTE: iControl’s iHub is an interface device which connects to security panels, IP cameras, sensors,
Z-wave based home automation devices, etc. to deliver a host of advanced functionality .
NOTE: Life-style events are “non alarm” events. Life-safety events are “alarm” events.

There are three ADT Pulse levels, defined as follows:

•.L1: GPRS Remote Control of Arm/Disarm and notification for doors and windows. All life-safety and life- style
events are transmitted on the GPRS channel only.

•L2: Broadband with Z-Wave and L1. Life-saf ety events use GPRS channel. Life-style events use RS-422.

•L3: Broadband with L1, L2, and video. Life-safety events use GPRS channel. Life-style events use RS-422.

The following features are available with the RS-422 ADT Pulse Interface:

• Communicator faults can be transmitted.

• Panel communication errors are reported to the ADT iHub.

• Real time reporting of Zone status information to the ADT iControl Server.

• Remote update of the Communicator (flash upgrade).

• SMS incoming “wake up” for the GPRS channel.

• WEB login to request an incoming session with the Communicator.

• Zone Label Programming.

NOTE: Communicator buffers 1,000 date/time stamped Life-Style events to iHub as First In First Out (FIFO).

PRE INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION

Encryption

The Communicator uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station
receiver. Each receiver (Ethernet 1 and 2, GPRS 1 and 2) can independently have encryption enabled or dis­abled. When encryption is enabled, the central station will configure the device to encrypt communications the
next time the Communicator module performs a communication to that receiver.

NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the unit
is restarted.

Before leaving the installation site, the Communicator TL260-SM/TL260GS-SM Ethernet line shall be
connected via an APPROVED (acceptable to the local authorities) Network Interface Device (NID) (e.g.,
for UL Installations, U60950 listed NID). All wiring shall be performed according to the local electrical
codes.

COMMUNICATOR INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION

This GPRS/Ethernet Communicator shall be installed by Service Persons only. (Service Person is defined as a per­son having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person
may be exposed in performing a task and ca n al so take measu re s to mini mi ze the ri sks to that p erso n or oth er p er ­sons). The Communicator shall be installed and used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max
