iPGSM-COM Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide

General Information

The iPGSM-COM Commercial Fire Communicator includes everything you need to upgrade a commercial fire system that previously reported by POTS to a system that uses the Internet as its primary reporting path, and uses a GSM cellular reporting path as a backup. In addition, this communicator utilizes a sophisticated power module (PowerBoost1) that monitors and reports AC power loss, low battery, and missing battery conditions.

Package Contents

 Red Fire Cabinet and Back Plate  50 ohm cable assembly  Transformer, 18VAC (N8167)  Cam Lock with Key  Antenna and Mounting Adapter  Ferrite Filter  Dialer Capture Module  PowerBoost1  Hardware Bag  LED Display board  Battery harness  iGSM Communications Module  Wall Outlet Box (P/N K14358)

Compatible Fire Panels

The iPGSM-COM works with Fire Panels that use the Contact ID communication format as described in the SIA DC-05 Standard. After completing the field installation, verify communications with the central station is successful by sending several events. Also, get confirmation that these events were received.

Note: For a fire panel that has more than 9 active partitions, the first 9 partitions are reported to the central station uniquely. Beyond 9 partitions, only the 2nd digit of the partition is reported along with a leading zero (example partition 14 is reported as 04). The installer must inform the central station of this condition.

Operation

The iPGSM-COM replaces the fire panel's POTS communications path. When an event occurs, the fire panel goes off-hook to dial the central station. The iPGSM-COM detects the off-hook condition and provides the fire panel with a dial tone. When the fire panel detects the dial tone, it begins dialing the central station. The iPGSM-COM considers the three second period after dialing as the number dialing has been completed. After the dialing is completed, the Dialer Capture Module returns a handshake to the fire panel.

The fire panel then sends the contact ID reports to the iPGSM-COM, which in turn sends a kiss-off after the report is successfully received from the fire panel. Within the iPGSM-COM, the Dialer Capture Module sends the contact ID reports over the ECP bus to the iGSM Communications Module. When all the reports are sent, the fire panel goes on-hook. The iPGSM-COM then transmits the messages to the central station (either over the internet or the GSM network).

Installation

UL Compliance

To meet UL864/NFPA, ensure the following:

 Equipment should be installed in accordance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

standards 70 and 72.

 iPGSM-COM must be mounted in the same room and within 20 feet of the fire panel.

 iPGSM-COM, and all equipment used for the IP connection (such as the router, hub, modem, etc.)

must be powered from the same un-switched facility power source branch as the fire panel.

 iPGSM-COM must use a 7AH battery (not supplied) to provide 24-hour backup capability.

iPGSM-COM Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide

STEP 1 – Activate the SIM and Setup the Customer Account

The communicator requires a subscriber account (customer account) to be setup with AlarmNet Direct. This is accomplished by registering the communicator's iGSM communications module with AlarmNet. Registering, enables the fire panel to send reports.

To setup the customer account you will need to contact the central monitoring station to get account information, and have access to the AlarmNet Direct website. To access the AlarmNet Direct website visit – https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect

If you do not wish to use the AlarmNet Direct website, you may call AlarmNet to setup the account, just phone 800-222-6525, then select option 1. (Monday–Friday 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 5:30 pm EST)

Have the following information ready:

 Primary City ID (two digits), obtained from your

monitoring station.

 Primary Central Station ID (two digits), obtained

from your monitoring station.

 Primary Subscriber ID (four digits), obtained

from your monitoring station.

 Communication Module's MAC ID, and MAC

CRC number located on outside of box, and inside of the module.

Note: The iPGSM-COM comes with a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) that needs to be activated.

1. To activate the SIM, log into the AlarmNet Direct website and choose “SIM Activation/Status”, then enter the required information. Click Activate SIM.

2. Setup the customer account by choosing "Program New Device GSM/I", enter the required information. When complete, click DONE.

STEP 2 – Register the Communications Module with AlarmNet

Registering the module activates the account with AlarmNet and enables the fire system's control panel to send reports. There are three methods that can be used to register the communications module.

 Register the module by logging into AlarmNet Direct and choosing “Show Programmed Devices

GSM/I”. Search for the account using the Account Information or MAC ID. Under the “Actions” column, use the pulldown menu and choose Register. OR

 After the iPGSM-COM is installed and programmed, you can register the module by clicking the

Tamper Switch 3 times. OR

 After the iPGSM-COM is installed and programmed, you can register the module using the 7720P

Programming tool. Simply: Press [Shift ] then press []. Please wait for "Registration SUCCESS" message.

STEP 3 – Determine the Signal Strength and Select a Location

IMPORTANT - Do Not mount this device outdoors.

When choosing a suitable mounting location, understand that signal strength is very important for proper operation. For most installations using the supplied antenna, mounting the unit as high as practical, and avoiding large metal components provides adequate signal strength for proper operation.

You will use the iGSM Communications Module to determine signal strength in order to find a suitable mounting location.

Note: If the SIM is already activated, the RSSI signal strength indicators will indicate signal strength.

If the SIM has not been activated, the firmware in the communications module enables it to communicate with the cellular network towers (without the SIM being activated) so that signal strength measurements can be determined. In this case, you can display the signal strength by simultaneously pressing the MODE and TAMPER switches.

1. For this procedure you will need a fully charged 12V battery.

2. Attach the Antenna (see illustration on page 5).

3. Temporarily wire the battery's negative [–] terminal to TB1–4 on the iGSM communications module, then wire the battery's plus [+] terminal to TB1–2 on the communications module. Wait about one minute for the module to initialize.

4. Position the assembly near a suitable mounting position and observe the RSSI display.

5. Look for a mounting position that yields at least 3 bars lit solid. Four or five bars are better.

6. Verify the signal strength remains steady for a few minutes, then mark that mounting position. Disconnect the battery.

STEP 4 – Mount and Wire

 For UL compliant installations, refer to the topic on UL Compliance in this manual.

 For Dry/Indoor use only.

 Unless otherwise specified, use 18AWG or larger wire.

 External cabinet wiring may be routed in conduit if desired.

This communicator comes partially assembled with all the components mounted except the PowerBoost1 and the Antenna. To protect certain components on the PowerBoost1, it is shipped un-mounted but fully wired.

1. Remove knockouts from cabinet to accommodate the power input wires, and wiring to the control panel. Then mount the cabinet securely to the wall using 4 screws or bolts. Use mounting screws or bolts that are suitable for the material being anchored to.

2. Ensure the cabinet door lock is installed.

3. Carefully remove the packaging material that surrounds the PowerBoost1.

4. Mount the PowerBoost1 on the three unused standoffs. Use the plastic screw

(prevents shorting) to secure the upper right corner of the PowerBoost1 and the two metal screws and lock washers to fasten the left side of the circuit board. Ensure the two lock washers are between the circuit board and the head of the two metal screws.
