GENERAL INFORMATION

The GSMVLP4G and GSMVLPCN4G are optional communication modules intended for use with Lynx Plus Series/ReadyGuard Plus Series controls, and provide wireless communication with the AlarmNet network for backup delivery of alarm and other messages to the monitoring central station. The modules also support voice communications between the control panel and the Central Station.

The GSMVLP4G and GSMVLPCN4G are collectively referred to as GSMVLP4G throughout this manual.

Honeywell's GSMVLP4G cellular communication module transmits signals via the cellular network to AlarmNet, which forwards them to your Central Station. If the cellular data network is unavailable, the GSMVLP4G will attempt to send the transmission via SMS (Short Message Service).

System Features

• Quick connection to compatible Lynx Plus Series/ReadyGuard Plus Series control panels.

• Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool or via the AlarmNet Direct Website.

• Reports fire, burglary, and status messages via GSM.

• Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data via GSM.

• Uses 2-way ECP communication with the control.

• Enables two-way voice (AAV) communication between the control and central station via GSM.

• Sends reports in Contact ID format.

• Supports remote control of alarm system via Remote Services Feature.

• Fully powered (primary and backup battery) from the control.

The GSMVLP4G provides the following types of supervision and module fault detection:

• Network communication failure: In the event the AlarmNet network does not hear a

supervisory message from the module within a specified time (“Supervision” option, 24 hours, 30 days, or none), AlarmNet notifies the central station of a communication failure.

• Communication path failure

the control panel can be notified of a trouble condition with the module after a specified time has elapsed.

: In the event the module detects a communication path failure,

Remote Services Features

The Remote Services Features can only be used with Lynx Plus Series/ReadyGuard Plus Series controls Revision 16 or later. Multi Mode (E-mail notification) is intended as a convenience for the user, and does not replace Central Station reporting of critical events (alarms, troubles, etc.).

Remote Services allow the end user to communicate with their Security System remotely via several features. Availability of this service is controlled by the dealer via the web-based programming tool on the AlarmNet Direct website. Once enabled, the specific programming fields associated with these features can be programmed either remotely using the AlarmNet Direct website or locally using the 7720P Programming Tool. These new web services will allow users to:

• Receive e-mail and text message notification of system events (Multi-Mode feature)

• Access their security system from a computer via a website (Remote Access feature)

• Perform system functions and receive confirmations using text messages (SMS feature)

The GSMVLP4G module requires an AlarmNet account. For new installations, please obtain the account information from the central station prior to programming this module.

GSMVLP4G Module Kit

RF Exposure

distance de séparation d'au moins 7,8 pouces (20 cm) de toutes les personnes.

FCC LABEL NOTE:

This kit contains the following components:

Figure 1 – GSMVLP4G Kit Components

Installing the GSMVLP4G module

1. Disconnect power from the control, including the battery, BEFORE installing the GSMVLP4G module.

2. CAUTION: ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE. To discharge any static buildup, briefly touch a chassis ground point before installing this module. Avoid performing this installation while standing on a carpeted floor.

Opening the Lynx Plus or ReadyGuard Plus Series Control and Installing GSMVLP4G

1. Install the appropriate FCC/IC label (provided) on the control’s back case as shown on Figure 2.

WARNING: The antenna(s) used for this transmitter 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 transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

Exposition aux Fréquences Radio: L'antenne (s) utilisée pour cet émetteur doit être installée à une

Affix the appropriate FCC “Contains Transmitter Module” label over the top portion of the control’s FCC label. Use the label that matches the LYNX FCC ID found on the Control’s label.

2. Release the control’s front case assembly from the rear case by depressing the two locking tabs at the top of the unit with the blade of a medium size screwdriver (refer to Figure 3).

Figure 3 – Installing the GSMVLP4G Module

3. Install the control in accordance with the appropriate Installation Instructions.

4. Install the GSMVLP4G into the control’s back case and secure it with the three provided screws. Refer to Figure 3.

Do not block the ventilation slots in the case when installing the tie wrap mount.

5. Remove the backing from the tape on the provided tie wrap mount. Install the tie wrap mount in the lower right corner of the back case as shown on Figure 3.

6. Connect the provided ECP/power cable between the GSMVLP4G module and the PC board and route the cable as shown in Figure 4. This cable provides DC power and ground for the module and ECP connections.

For best radio performance, the wires, ECP/power cable, battery and shielded audio cables must be routed as shown in Figure 4.

7. Make the wiring connections and install the control in accordance with the appropriate Installation Instructions. Twist the ECP/power and battery cables and ensure that they are routed through the routing tunnels and/or the strain relief clip as shown in Figure 4.

8. Secure the wiring with the provided tie wraps as shown in Figure 4 to ensure that the cables do not interfere with the antenna.

9. Program the GSMVLP4G. Refer to the Programming the GSMVLP4G Module section.

10. Connect the provided shielded audio cable between the GSMVLP4G module and the PC board and

route the cable as shown in Figure 4.

11. Snap the control front assembly to the back plate.

Programming the GSMVLP4G Module

The GSMVLP4G Module can be programmed through the following methods:

• The AlarmNet Direct website

• Use of a 7720P Programming Tool

Using the AlarmNet Direct website

To program the module via the website (if you are already signed up for this service), go to:

https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect/userlogin.aspx

If you are not signed up for this service, click on “Dealer Sign-Up”. Log in and follow the on-screen prompts. Please have the following information available when programming the module:

1. Primary City ID (two-digit number)

2. Primary Central Station ID (two-digit hexadecimal number)

3. Primary Subscriber ID (four-digit number)

4. MAC ID and MAC CRC number (located on the outside of box and on the GSMVLP4G)

5. After programming is complete, you must transfer the data to the GSMVLP4G and the module must be registered. Refer to the Registration section for further instructions.

Using a 7720P Programming Tool

Connect the 7720P Programming Tool as shown in Figure 5. The GSMVLP4G powers the 7720P Programming Tool via the programming jack. Each key of the 7720P has two possible functions: a normal function and a Shift function.

• To perform a normal key function, simply press the desired key.

• To perform a Shift function, press the [shift] key, and then press the appropriate key.

The prompts in this document reflect use of the 7720P Programming Tool. Table 1 lists each normal and shift key function.

Programming Conventions

Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts (questions). Most prompts require only a [Y]es or [N]o response, while others require a numerical response (ID numbers, etc.). The current value is displayed on the second line in parentheses ( ). A "?" indicates an invalid entry. Use the [ENTER] key to accept the current entry and proceed to the next prompt. If the entered value is invalid, pressing [ENTER] re-displays the prompt; the next prompt is not displayed until a valid answer is entered. Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the programming questions without changing any values. Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of questions.

PROGRAMMING

ECP Mode Programming

The GSMVLP4G supports ECP messaging to communicate with the control panel. Lynx Plus Series/ReadyGuard Plus Series control send Contact ID format alarms to the GSMVLP4G directly on the 4-wire console bus. Refer to Table 2 for GSMVLP4G programming and follow the prompts.

Press the [ENTER] key to begin programming.

NOTE: The central station can remotely block access to local device

programming. If this has been done, the following prompt appears:
