The warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only individual in contact withsystem users, it is the installer’s responsibility to
bring each item in this warning to the attention of all users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other
types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm
system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to
operateas expected for a variety of reasons. Some, but not all, of the
reasons may be:
Acc ess by Intruders
Intruders may enter throughan unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage,disconnect a warning device,or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been madeto make this system as reliable
as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due tothe failure of acomponent.
Comprom ise of Radio Fre quency (Wir eless) D evice s
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which
could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberatej amming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal
intent to developtechniques which reducetheeffectiveness of these features. It is important that the security system be reviewed periodically
to ensure that its features remain effective and that it is updated or
replaced if it is foundthat it does not providethe protection expected.
Failure of Re placeable Batte ries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide
several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the deviceenvironment, usage, andtype. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or
large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life.
While each transmittingdevice has a low battery monitor w hich identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to
operate as expected. R egular testing and maintenance will keep the
system in good operating condition.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide
adequate protection. Every installationshould be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points andareas are covered.
Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate
as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength andconstruction to provide the level
of protection expected. A reevaluation m ust be done during and after
any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommendedi f this service is available.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The completesystem should be tested weekly andimmediately after a break-in,
an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or
any ki nd of construction activity inside or outside the premises. T he
testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm
indicating devices, and any other operational devices that are part of the
system.
Insufficie nt Time
There may be cir cumstances when thesystem will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency due to
their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. Ifthe system is remotely monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Motion Det ec tors
Motion detectors canonly detect motionw ithin thedesignatedareas as
shown in their respective installation i nstructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intendedoccupants. Motion detectors
do notprovidevolumetric area protection. They havem ultiple beams of
detection and motion can only be detected i n unobstructed areas
covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion w hich occurs
behindwalls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors
or windows. Any type of tamperingw hether intentional or unintentional
such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses,
mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair
its proper operation.
Passive infraredm otion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature.However their effectiveness can be reducedwhen the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are
intentional or unintentional sources of heatin or near the detection area.
Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues,fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting andso on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other
security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries
to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in
good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC
power, any interruption, however brief, will r ender that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length
are often accompanied by voltagefluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption
has occurred, imm ediately conduct a complete system test to ensure
that the system operates as intended.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system i s not a substitute for
property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for
property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent
or minimize theharmful effects of an emergency situation.
Smoke D et ect ors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system m ay not properly alert
occupants of afir e for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The
smoke detectors m ay have been i mproperly installed or positioned.
Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when
thefire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or onthe other side of closed
doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another
level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well.
Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by
carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloadedelectrical circuits, childrenplaying withmatches, or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be ci rcumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to
escape in time toavoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephonelines are used to transmit alarms, they m ay be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the
telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means
which may be difficult to detect.
Warning De vices
Warning devices suchas sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn
people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or
door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence
or premise, then it i s l ess likely that the occupants wil l be alerted or
awakened. Audible warning devices may be i nterfered with by other
noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners,
other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however
loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

Activating the Communicator with C24 Communications
Installation of the 3G2080(R)E / LE2080(R) or TL2803G(R)E / TL280LE(R) requires activation with C24
Communications in order to operate. Please contact the central station (C24 Communications Master
Reseller) to confirm the required stepsto activate/program the communicator.
NOTE: NOTE: The SIM activation with the carrier can take several hours to complete. It is recom-
mended the activation be completed prior to arrival on the customer site to avoid possible install-
ation delays.
Once the SIM activation iscomplete, the communicator will automaticallyconnect and download its programming from C24 Communications.
SMS Command and Control
Certain functions can be performed on the alarm panel by remote, using SMS text messages. In addition, the system sends SMS messages to confirm commands. SMS programming options are accessed

Communicator Status LEDs
The communicator has four on-board LED indicators. These include one yellow trouble LED, one red
network connection status LED and two green signal strength LEDs. The LED meaning is described in
this section.
Yellow Trouble LED
This yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the type of
trouble. See the table below for the coded flashes and the conditionswhich willactivate thetrouble status
LED.

NOTE: Only the highest priority trouble (2 flashes isthe highest priority trouble) is indicated. When this
trouble is restored, the next highest trouble will indicate, if present. This will continue until all
troubles have been cleared (yellow LED is not flashing).
The following paragraphs describe the conditionsassociated with the trouble indicated:
Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the communicator module and the panel
fails. If the module can not communicate with the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the communicator willsend the ‘Panel Absent Trouble Event’ message to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a ‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is sent by the communicator to the central station
receiver. The reporting codes are ET0001 for trouble and ER0001 for restore. The panel absent event
always uses the primary receiver account code when communicating to the central station.
14
NOTE: The panel supervision trouble/restore are internally generated events by the communicator.
Trouble is generated if the communicator misses 6 polls. T rouble isrestored on receipt offirst poll
from the panel.
SIM Lock Trouble (4 Flashes)
This trouble occurs when the SIM lock feature has been enabled and the unit has been programmed
with the wrong PIN for the SIM card.
Cellular Trouble (5 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated for anyof the following 4 conditions:
1. Radio Failure: Trouble is indicated after 8 failed attempts to communicate with thecellular radio.
2. SIM Failure: Trouble is indicated after 10 failed attempts tocommunicate with the SIM.
3. Cellular Network Trouble: Trouble is indicated for loss of the registration to the network provider.
4. Insufficient Sig nal Strength: Trouble isindicated if calculated average signalstrength istoo low.
(Both green LEDsare OFF). Trouble willclear when the calculated average signalstrength is
above minimum (i.e., > CSQ 5).
NOTE: If Option [851][005] Bit 8 is Off, CSQ less than or equalto 4 will not trigger Cellular Trouble
Ethernet Trouble (6 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when an Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local switch or router is
absent. This trouble will also be indicated if the unit failsto get Dynamic Host Control Protocol(DHCP) settings from the DHCP server. (Not active if Ethernet receivers are not programmed) .
Receiver Not Available (7 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated if the unit is not able to successfully initializewith any of the programmed receivers. Unprogrammed receivers are excluded. This trouble is also indicated if the cellular receiver APNs
have not been programmed in sections [205] and [215].
Receiver Supervision Trouble (8 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the communicator module and the receiver fails. Trouble is indicated if Ethernet 1 and/or cellular 1 is supervised
and does not receive a heartbeat from the receiver or if cellular is supervised and the unit does not
receive an acknowledgment to 4 heartbeats sent to the receiver.
FTC Trouble (9 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station. Trouble
is displayed after the unit has exhausted all communications attempts to all programmed receivers for
events generated bythe communicator.
Module Configuration Trouble (12 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the system account code or the receiver account have not been programmed. Disabled receivers are excluded.
