Features

• Connects panels to GSM Network

• Compatible with:

o Honeywell Vista® 15P and 20P
o DSC PowerSeries
o UTC NX [Future: Concord]

o Interactive Control Functions
o Ethernet data reliability
o Z-Wave Communicator included

Key Instructions

• The same unit works for Vista, Power Series, & UTC NX.

• Selectable switch determines panel compatibility.

• DO NOT MOUNT INSIDE METAL CAN – there are radios on the boards that

need to be in free-air to communicate.

• Communicator must be connected to a 12V power supply with battery
backup, such as the control panel's aux power output.

• The communicator should be mounted in a location that will optimize
cellular signal strength. Mount as high in the building as possible.

• RE927X communicates with the Vista 15P/20P via AUI device 2. Enable
AUI 2 in the Vista.

• The RE928X may be used as a backup for the RE920X or RE926X
communicators. Refer to “Using RE928X as a Backup”.

Wiring Instructions
NOTE: Some programming must be done PRIOR to connection

Maximum cable lengths shown in the table below, this assumes the
communicator is the only device attached to the cable. If multiple devices
share the same cable, the maximum cable length must be derated accordingly.
