System Failure s
Thissystemh as been carefullyde signed to b e as effe ctive as possible. There arecir­cumstances, however, involving fire, burglary,or other types of emergenciesw here it may no t p rovide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberate lyo r may fail to o perate as e xpected for a variety of reasons. Some, b ut not a ll, of the re asons mayb e:
Acc ess by Intr uders
Intrud ers may enter throug h an u nprotected access po int, circumvent a sensing device, e vade detection by moving t hroug h a n a rea of insufficient coverage, dis­conne ct a wa rning device, or interfere with o r prevent the p roper o perat ion of the system.
Component F ailure
Although every effort has be en made to make thissystem as reliable as possible, the systemmayfailto functionasinte nde d due tothe failure of a component.
Comprom ise of Radio Fr equency ( Wirele ss) D evices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or ne ar the radio path or deliberate jamming oro ther inad­vertent radio signa linterfe rence.
Criminal Knowledge
Thissystem containssecurity features which were know n to be effe ctive at t he time of manu facture. It ispossiblefor person sw ith criminalinte nt to develop te chniques which reduce the effectiveness o f th ese features. It isimportan t that the security systembe reviewed periodicallyto ensure tha t itsfea tures remain effe ctive and that it isu pdated o r replaced ifit is fou nd that it d oes no t provide t he p rotection expec­ted.
Failure of Re placeable Batte ries
Thissystem’swireless transmitters have been designed to provide severalyears of batt ery life un der normal conditions. The e xpected battery life is a f unction of th e device e nvironment, usage, and type. Ambient con ditions such as high humidity, high or low te mperatures,orlarge tempera ture fluctua tions mayred uce the expec­ted b atterylife. Whileea ch transmittingdeviceh as a low batt erymon itorwhichide n­tifies whe n t he batte ries need to be replaced, t his monitor may failto o perat e a s expecte d. Regu lar te sting a nd maintena nce willkee p the system in good ope r­ating con dition.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must b e installed prope rly in orde r to provide adequate pro­tection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security profe ssionalto ensure that all access points a nd areas are covered. Lo cksa nd latches on wind ows a nd doo rs must b e secure a nd operate as inte nded. Windows, d oors, walls, ceilings and othe r building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during a nd afte rany construction activity.An e valuation b yt he fire and/orp oliced epartment is highlyre commended if thisserviceis available.
Inadequate Testing
Mostp roblemsthat wo uld preven t an alarmsystemfrom ope rating as inten ded can be fou nd by regular testing and maintena nce. The complete system shou ld b e tested weekly and immediately after a b reak-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm,an ea rthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activityinside or ou t­side the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypa ds, con­soles, alarm indicating d evices,and any oth er op erational devices that are part of the system.
Insufficie nt Time
There may be circumstances when the system will op erate as intended, yet the occupan ts willnot b e protected fro man emergency due to th eirinabilityto respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is remotely monitored, the responsemay notoccurin time to prote ctthe occupants or the irbelongings.
Motion Detector s
Motion detectorscan only detect motion within the designat ed a reas asshown in their re spective installation instructions. Th ey can not discriminate between intruders a nd intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area prote ction. They have multiple be ams of detection and motion can only be dete cted in unob structed areas covered by these beams. Th ey cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doo rs, g lass p artitions, glassd oors or window s.Any type o f tampering wh ethe rinte ntiona lor un intentional such a s masking, painting, or spraying of a ny material on the lenses, mirrors, win­dowsor an yo ther pa rtof the d etection systemwillimpairits prope ro peration. Passive infrared motion dete ctors o perate by sensing change s in temperature. However the ireffectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tempe rature rises nea ro ra bove b ody temperature or if the re are inten tional or unintentionalsou rces of h eat inor near the dete ction area . Some of the se heat sourcescould be heat-
ers, radiato rs,stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sun light, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Power Failure
Controlu nits,intru siond etecto rs,smoke det ectorsand many other securityde vices require a n adequa te power supplyfo r prope r opera tion. If a device operates from batt eries, it isp ossible for th e ba tteries to fail.Even if the ba tteries have not failed, they must be charged , in good condition and installed correctly. If a d evice oper­ates on lyby AC pow er, any interrup tion, ho wever brief, willrender tha t device inop­erative w hile it does not ha ve po wer. Pow er interruptions o f an y length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a securitysystem.Afte ra power interrup tion hasoccurred,immediatelycon ­duct a complete systemtest to en sure that the systemop erate sasintended .
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capa bilities, an alarmsystem isnot a substitute for prop erty or life insurance. An alarm systemalso isnot a substitute fo r prope rty owne rs, renters,or othe r occupants to act prude ntly to prevent or minimize the h armful effe cts of an emergen cysituation.
Smoke D ete ctor s
Smoked etectorsthat are a p art of th issystemmay not p roperlyalert occupan tso f a fire for a n umber of reasons,someof wh ichfollow. The smoke d etectorsmay have bee n improperlyinstalled or po sitioned. Smokemay no t be ab leto reach th e smoke dete ctors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, wa lls or roofs, oron th e other side of closed d oors. Smoke dete ctorsmaynot de tect smoke from fireso n an othe rlevel of the residenceo rb uilding. Every fire is different in th e amount of smoke produced and the rate of b urning. Smoke dete ctors canno t sense alltypes o f fires equallywell.Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety ha zards such as smoking in bed,violent explosions, escaping g as, imprope rsto rage offlammable materials,overloaded e lectricalcircuits,children playing with matches, orarson. Even if th e smoke d etecto r operate s a s inten ded, there may b e circumstances when there is insufficient wa rning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injuryor de ath.
Telephone Lines
If telep hone lines are u sed to t ransmitalarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periodsof time. Also an intrud er maycut th e telephone line or defe at itso per­ation bymore soph isticated mean swhichmay be d ifficultto det ect.
Warning Devic es
Warning devices such as sirens, b ells, horn s, or strobes may n ot warn peop le or waken someone sleeping ifth ere is an intervening wallordoor. If warning devices are located o n a different level of the residen ce or p remise, th en it is less likelyth at the occupan ts will b e alerted or awaken ed. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by othe r noise sou rces such as stereos, rad ios, televisions, a ircon ­ditioners, other ap pliances, o r passing traffic. Audible warning devices, h owever loud, may not b e hea rd bya hearing-impaired person.

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, Cellular 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 sends communication to that receiver.
NOTE: Packetswill start being encrypted only after the next event is sentto that receiver, or if the unit isrestarted. Before leaving the installation site, the communicator TL2803(R)E / TL280LE(R) Ethernet line shall be connected via an approved (acceptable to the local authorities) Network Interface Device (NID). Allwiringshallbe performedaccord­ingto the local electrical codes.

Communicator Installation Configuration

This alarm communicator shall be installed by skilled persons only (skilled 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 to in per­forming a task and can also take measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). The Communicator shall be installed and used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max2, overvoltages category II, in non-haz­ardous, indoor locations only. This manual shall be used with the installation manual of the panel which is connected to the communicator. All instructions specified within the panel manual mustbe observed. All the local rules imposed by local electrical codes shall be observed and respected during installation.

Installing the Ethernet Cable (TL Models Only)

A Category 5 (CAT 5) Ethernet cable must be run from a source with Internet connectivity to the communicator module, inside the panel. The communicator end of the cable must be terminated with an RJ45 plug, which will connect to the com­municator’s RJ45 jack after the communicator is installed. All requirements for installation of CAT5 Ethernet cable mustbe observed for correctoperation of the communicator,including, but not limited to, the following:
l Do NOT strip off cable sheathing more than required for proper termination. l Do NOT kink/kno t cable. l Do NOT crush cable with cable ties. l Do NOT untwist CAT5 pairs mo re than ½ in. (1.2cm). l Do NOT splice cable. l Do NOT bend cable at right angles or make any other sharp bends.
NOTE: CAT5 specification requires that any cable bend musthave a minimum 2 in. (5 cm) bend radius. Maximum length of
CAT 5 cable is 328 ft. (100 m).

The commu nicator’s red and yellow LEDs flash togethe r while it initializes. The red and yellow LEDs will continue to flash until the communicator has successfully communicated to all programmed receivers.
NOTE: During radio reset,the two green LEDswill flash alternately. NOTE: Initialization may take several minutes to complete. Do not continue to nextstep until the red and yellow LEDs have
stopped flashing. (If only the yellow LED is flashing, there is a communicator trouble and the green LEDs are not valid for communicator placement test).Correct trouble indicated by flashes on yellow LED before continuing. See Table 8 for troubleshooting assistance.
7.
Perform the communicator placement test below.
8.
Mount the pane l in final location indicated by placement test.

Communicator Placement Test

Cellular Communicator Models Only

To confirm that the cellular antenna location is suitable for radio operation, perform the placement test as follows: NOTE: It might be necessary to relocate the panel or install an optional extension antenna during this procedure, if the
radio signal strength istoo low.
1.
Confirm that the yellow LED on the communicator is not flashing. A flashing yellow LED indicates trouble on the com­municator. See Table 8 to troubleshoot a nd correct the cause of this trouble before continu ing to the next step.
2.
Confirm that the strength of the radio signal on the yellow LED and the 2 green LEDs on the communicator meet or exceed the minimum signal level requirement. Minimum sig nal level: The yellow LED is OFF and the green LED 1 (furthe st from the yellow LED) is ON (not flashing) for the panel location to be acceptable. For interpretation of receiver strength on LEDs, refer to the table “Radio SignalStrength”.

Cellular Signal Strength Display - LCD Keypad only

The cellular network signal strength can be checked on the keypad LCD screen by entering installer programming section [850].The LCD will indicate the SIM card activation statusfollowed by up to five bars of signal strength.This display will auto­matically update every three seconds. For the relationship between signal strength bars, CSQ level, and signal level in dBm, refer to “Radio SignalStrength”.
Table 4:Signal Strength Display
Description Display
SIM card active and current signal strength
SIM card inactive and current signal strength

NOTE: If the required signal strength is too low with the panel in its current location, the panel must be relocated or an
external antenna is required.
Ifrequired, the following cellular extension antenna kits are available to the installer:
l GS-15ANTQ - 4.57m (15’) internal antenna exten sion kit (suitable for interio r mounting). l GS-25ANTQ - 7.62m (25’) e xterna l antenna extension kit (suitable for interio r/exterior mounting). l GS-50ANTQ - 15.24m(50’) external antenna extension kit (suitable for interior/exterior mounting).
Specific instructions for the installation of the extension antenna are included with the kit. Observe all the electrical safety instructions regarding the installation of the antenna. All the wiring of the equipment shall be fully compliant with the local rules and regulations.
3.
If required, install the antenna extension and perform the following steps to determine the best location for placement of the a ntenna:
a.
Disconnect the white whip antenna from the panel.
b.
Attach one end of the a ntenna extension cable to the threaded antenna con nector on the panel and the other end to the external antenna.
4.
Move the extension antenna to vario us locations while observing the two green LEDs on the panel.
a. Continue to reposition the extension antenna until it receives an acceptable (minimum one green LED ON solid)
signal strength. NOTE: Minimum strength is: green LED 1 flashing and yellow LED off. If green LED 1 is flashing, relo-
cation should be considered.
14
b.
Mount the supplied antenna extension bracket at the location that provides the best signal strength.
c.
If necessary, relocate the pane l to improve signal strength.
5.
When final pan el/an tenna location is de termined, continue at the InitialPanel Programming section.
NOTE: If the SIMcard is not activated, placementtestwill indicate the signal strength ofthe nearestcellular tower. NOTE: In between displaying signal strength, the signal strength LEDs will flash alternately if an inactive SIM card is used.
The flashing indicates that the module is attempting to attach to the cellular network and will only last briefly.

NOTE: Only the highest priority trouble (2 flashes is the highest priority trouble) is indicated. When this trouble is restored,
the nexthighest trouble is indicated, if present.This will continue until all troubles have been cleared (yellow LED is
not flashing). The following section describes the conditions associated with each trouble:
16

Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)

This trouble occurswhen communication between the communicator module and the panel fails.Ifthe module can not com­municate with the panel (e.g.,lossof power to the panel) the communicator will send the ‘Panel Absent Trouble' event mes­sage to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a ‘Panel Absent Restore' event is sent by the communicator to the central station receiver. The reporting codes are ET0001 for trouble and ER0001 for restore. The Panel Absent event always uses the primary receiver account code when communicating to the central station. NOTE: The panel supervision trouble/restore are internally generated events by the communicator. Trouble is generated if
the communicator misses6 polls.Trouble isrestored on receiptof first poll from the panel.

Cellular Trouble (5 Flashes)

This trouble occursfor any of the following 4 conditions:
1.
Radio Failure: Trouble is indicated after 8 failed attemptsto communicate with the cellular radio.
2.
SIM Failure: Trouble is indicated after 10 failed attempts to communicate with the SIM.
3.
CellularNetwork Trouble: Trouble is indicated for lossof the registration to the network provider.
4.
Insufficient SignalStrength: Trouble is indicated if calculated average signal strength is too low.(Both green LEDs are OFF).Trouble will clear when the calculated average signal strength isabove minimum (i.e.,> CSQ 5).
NOTE: If Option [851][005] Bit 8 is Off, CSQ lessthan or equal to 4 will nottrigger Cellular Trouble

Ethernet Trouble (6 Flashes)

This trouble occurs when an Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local switch or router is absent. This trouble will also be indicated if the unit fails to get Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) settings from the DHCP server (not active if Ethernet receiversare not programmed.

Receiver Not Available (7 Flashes)

This trouble occurs if the unit is not able to successfully initialize with any of the programmed receivers. This trouble is also indicated if the cellular receiver APNshave not been programmed in sections [205] and [215].

Receiver Supervision Trouble (8 Flashes)

This trouble occurs when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the communicator module and the receiver fails. Trouble is indicated if Ethernet 1 and/or cellular 1 is supervised and does not receive a heartbeat from the receiver or if cellular is supervised and the unit does not receive an acknowledgmentto 4 heartbeats sent to the receiver.

FTC Trouble (9 Flashes)

This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station. Trouble is displayed after the unit has completed all communications attempts to all programmed receivers for events generated by the com­municator.

Module Configuration Trouble (12 Flashes)

This trouble is indicated when the system account code or the receiver account have not been programmed. Disabled receivers are excluded.

Red Network Connection Status LED
