CDMA-X Installation and Setup Guide
NOTE
General Information
The CDMA-X Communicator, herein referred to as the communicator, easily connects to your security system's control
panel and sends alarms and messages to AlarmNet for subsequent transfer to the central monitoring station. It can be
mounted directly on the control panel or remotely.
The CDMA-X requires an AlarmNet account. For new installations, please obtain the account information
The CDMA-X communicates with AlarmNet using the CDMA 1X RTT cellular network as a means of data transfer.
In addition to alarm reporting, the communicator provides two-way voice communications with the central station (when
used with Honeywell’s AVS Audio Verification System) and provides upload/downloading capability of Honeywell's control
panel data over the Internet.
from the central station prior to programming.
NOTE: Two-way voice is not compatible with Honeywell Commercial Control Panels (such as the VISTA-128/250 series).
NOTE: Due to Honeywell's continuing effort to improve our products, your device may look slightly different than
pictured.
Features
Two-way voice has not been evaluated by compliance agency.
• Reports fire, burg, and status messages via CDMA network.
• Internal antenna provides additional security.
• Simple programming using the 7720P programming tool or via the AlarmNet Direct website.
• Uses 2 way ECP communication with the control panel.
• Sends reports in Contact ID format.
• Supports remote control of alarm system via Remote Services feature.
• Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data via CDMA network.
• Fully powered (primary and backup battery) from the control panel.
Modes of Operation
• The CDMA-X is for control panels that support ECP communication.
• The control panel treats the communicator as an ECP device, so ensure to program the control panel with the
communicator’s device address.
• 4204 Mode, and two 4204 Mode operation.
Supervision and Fault Detection
• Network communication failure – In the event the AlarmNet network does not hear a supervisory message from
the communicator within a specified time (“Supervision” option, 24 hours, 30 days, or none), AlarmNet notifies
the central station of a communication failure.
• Communication path failure – In the event the module detects a communication path failure, both the Central
Station and the control panel can be notified of the trouble condition. The failure is considered a true fault when
the fault time has expired ("Cell Fault Time" option) provided it has been set to a non-zero value. Notification is
sent to the central station upon this expiration.

Data Encryption
The communicator uses 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for certain government installations). The
AlarmNet-i AES Encryption Software Module Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products has NIST approval.
Listings for this approval can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/aes/aesval.html and search for
“Certificate number 979.”
Remote Services Features
Remote Access and Multi-Mode have not been evaluated by compliance agency.
Honeywell offers secure web based services that enable users to remotely monitor and control their security system.
These web services enable
users to:
• Monitor and control their security system from a website
• Receive e-mail and text message notifications of system events
• Control the system and receive confirmations using text messages
• Monitor and control IP video cameras
Dealers can enroll their customers for "Remote Services" by using the AlarmNet Direct website. Once enabled, the specific
programming fields associated with these features can be programmed into the communications device either remotely
using the AlarmNet Direct website or locally using the 7720P programming tool.
E-mail notification (Multi Mode) is intended as a convenience for the user, and does not replace Central Station reporting of
critical events (alarms, troubles, etc.).
Testing the System
After installation the security system should be tested. Refer to the control panel installation instructions for procedures
to test the entire system.

Compatibility
The communicator functions with any control panel that utilizes a Honeywell ECP bus and supports a communicator (or
LRR).
Compliance
This device has been tested by ETL to meet the following standards:
•
•
Mount and Wire the Module
Select a Mounting Location
When choosing a suitable mounting location, understand that it must be mounted indoors, and for best signal strength it
should be mounted vertically. Signal strength is very important for proper operation. For most installations, mounting
the unit on the control panel provides adequate signal strength and we suggest that this method is tried first. Especially
if the control panel is not in a basement location or in an area that contains large metal objects.
Warning – The internal or external antenna(s) used with this product must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 7.8 in. (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
RF Exposure
If the control panel location does not provide adequate signal strength, then the communicator can be mounted remotely.
Activate the Communicator
NOTE: The communicator must be ACTIVATED first in order for signal strength to be determined.
Once the communicator is installed and programmed, it must be Registered with AlarmNet. Registering activates the
account with AlarmNet and enables the security system's control panel to send reports.
Go to: https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect/
If you are not signed up for this service, click on “Dealer Signup” from the login screen to set up your dealer account. You
will be instructed how to proceed upon completing the sign-up form. Only one sign-up per dealer is required. Once an
initial user is established, additional logins may be created by that user.
Log in and follow the on-screen prompts. At this time only activate the communicator so signal strength may be checked.
DO NOT register the communicator at this time. Please have the following information available to activate the
communicator:
• MAC number and MAC CRC (located on the box and inside the communicator).
You may log out of the AlarmNet Direct website.
Once the communicator is installed and programmed, it must be Registered with AlarmNet. Registering activates the
account with AlarmNet and enables the security system's control panel to send reports.
Verify Satisfactory Signal Strength
In this procedure you will temporarily power up the communicator to check for satisfactory signal strength. You can
power it from a 12V battery or from the control panels AUX PWR terminals. In buildings where reception may be a
problem, powering from a battery would allow the communicator to be portable. The following procedure assumes the
control panel will be used for power. (If satisfactory signal strength is present at the control panel that is the preferred
mounting location.)
1. Ensure power to the control panel (both AC and battery) is off. Open the enclosure and connect the ECP cable to
the communicator. Temporarily attach the Black and Red wires to the GND and AUX PWR terminals of the
control panel. DO NOT connect the Yellow and Green wires at this time.
2. Turn power on and wait about one minute for the communicator to initialize. Position the communicator near a
suitable mounting position. Verify the SIGNAL LED (green) lights steady. This indicates satisfactory signal
strength.
