General Information
System Overview
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Honeywell's LTE-CFV/LTE-CFA Commercial Fire Panel
Internet and LTE Communicator (henceforth referred to as LTE-CF). It represents the latest and
most innovative communication technology for the security industry and uses the most
sophisticated encryption to ensure the highest level of security for your customer.
The new cellular connectivity brings faster cellular data transfers with lower latency (response
time); together it results in speedier data transfers.
This communicator uses the Internet as its primary reporting path, and switches to cell service
(secondary path as backup) when the Internet is not available.
The communicator requires an AlarmNet–i account. For new installations, please obtain
the account information from the central station prior to programming this communicator.
For detailed information about enrolling the communicator and replacing communicators,
refer to the AlarmNet 360 Online Help Guide.
In addition to alarm reporting, the communicator provides upload/downloading capability of
Honeywell's control panel data over the Internet, using cellular technology.
UL
General Information
The LTE-CF communicates via the Internet (when service is available) and switches to cellular
(here-in known as “cell”) service when the Internet is not available.
In normal operation (with Internet connectivity), the LTE-CF communicates from your customer's
network connection to the Honeywell Network Operations Center, (NOC) via the AlarmNet-i
network. The NOC receives data and routes the information to the Central Station of your choice,
based on the account number you assign to the communicator. Note that your Central Station
needs to give you the account number. The same account number is used for both Internet and
cell transmissions. If your current Central Station is capable of receiving signals from the
Honeywell NOC, they are capable of receiving signals from the communicator.
If, for some reason, Internet connectivity is not available, (for example, your customer's ISP is off
line or disconnected), the communicator will transmit signals via the cellular network. These
transmissions are sent to the Honeywell NOC and then forwarded to your Central Station exactly
the same way as if they were received via the Internet.
If the Internet and Cell network are both unavailable (fail), the message will not be sent from this
communicator.
When performing remote downloading, a technician must be on-site to test the system after any
programming is changed.
For maximum reliability, it is recommended the device be operated in dual path
mode with Internet and Cell both enabled and connected.

System Features
Basic features include:
Supports dynamic or static IP addressing, and installs behind firewalls without compromising
network security.
Quick connection to compatible Honeywell series control panels.
Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool.
Reports fire and status messages via the Internet.
Reports messages via the Internet and uses Cellular as backup.
Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data over the Internet.
(UL: A technician must be on-site to test the system after any programming is changed.)
About AlarmNet-i Internet Application
AlarmNet-i is a fully encrypted, secure method of delivering alarm messages from a protected
premise to an AlarmNet equipped central station. The internet communicator transmits status,
supervisory, and alarm messages to the AlarmNet Control Center using a broadband Internet
connection.
The AlarmNet Control Center identifies, validates, and forwards the messages to the appropriate
AlarmNet central station. AlarmNet-i has an unlimited account capacity.
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 https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-algorithm-validation-program/validation/validationlist/aes and search for “Certification number 979.”
LTE-CF Installation and Setup Guide
UL
Operation
The communicator interfaces with the control panel using Honeywell’s ECP bus.
Used with any UL Listed control panel that supports ECP communication.
The communicator connects to the control panel’s keypad terminals and provides 2-way
communication with the control panel using ECP messaging.
The control panel treats the communicator as an ECP device, so ensure to program the
control panel with the communicator’s device address.
Supervision Features
Reports are sent in Contact ID format.
The communicator provides the following types of 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, 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. Both
failures are considered true faults when their fault times have expired. If the Internet or Cell
communications path fails, a message is reported.
Primary power loss and low battery conditions (detected by the control panel, and may be
reported via the communicator if programmed to do so).
The IP and Cell signaling paths are suitable for encrypted line security. The system
configurations are not suitable as a Dual Line Signal transmission system.

SECTION 2
Mounting and Wiring
Determine the Signal Quality and Select a Location
The communicator must be mounted indoors within the protected premises. 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.
In this procedure, you will use the communicator to determine signal strength to find a suitable
mounting location.
RF Exposure
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 colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
* LTE-CF Initial Power Up: Upon initial power up, the communicator LEDs blink in repeated
sequence from top to bottom indicating network initialization.
Green (REG) Yellow (TX/RX) Red (FAULT)
This sequence may take up to 15 minutes. Do not reset power during this time.
When initialization is complete, the Signal Quality display LEDs will light and the yellow and
red LEDs may blink (per their respective functions).
After initial network setup, subsequent resets or power ups can take up to 90 seconds.
1. For this procedure, you will need a fully charged 6V battery.
2. Attach the two Antenna Mounting Adapters, two RF cable, and two Antennas. Remove the
top knockout if necessary. Refer to the Wiring Diagram on the inside of the back cover for
wiring and component identification.
3. Temporarily connect the battery to the communicator (Jumper wire between TB1 pins 2 and
3, Battery Positive on TB1 pin 3, and Battery Negative on TB1 pin 4). Wait about one minute
for the communicator to initialize.
4. Position the assembly near a suitable mounting position and observe the signal quality
display. Choose a location with the best signal strength by observing the signal quality bar
graph (refer to Appendix A for information about signal quality and status indications).
Signal quality should be within 2-5 bars lit solid. For optimal performance 4 or 5 bars are
better. The best signal strength is usually found at the highest point in the building, near a
window.
5. Verify the signal strength remains steady for a few minutes, then mark that mounting position.
Disconnect the battery.
