ADC-620T Module
INSTALLATION GUIDE
1.
Introduction
Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the panel power
transformer from AC power.
Verify that the module is inserted securely and that the antenna is
snapped-in completely.
Connect battery leads to the battery.
Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.
The ADC-620T Module for Neo enables wireless reporting of all alarms and other
system events from the DSC Neo control panel using an all-digital, cellular
network (if available) or broadband connection (if available). The module can be
used as the primary communication path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup
to a telephone connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless alarm
signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The ADC-620T Module
also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s emPowerTM solution with builtin Z-Wave capabilities.
It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the transformer,
otherwise the panel will issue a “System Low Battery” message regardless of
the battery voltage level.
Contact Information
Note that power cycling will clear existing banners.

Compatibility
The ADC-620T Module is compatible with DSC Neo panels with software
versions 1.3 and later.
Account Creation
Before installing an Alarm.com ADC-620T Module in a Neo system,
a new customer account needs to be created with Alarm.com. We
recommend creating the account at least 24 hours in advance of installation
to ensure that the radio is activated prior to installation.
To activate an account go to www.alarm.com/dealer and login. Under the
“Customers” heading at the top left of the page click on “Create New
Customer”. You will need the following customer information to create the
account:
• Customer Address
• Customer Phone Number
• Customer E-mail
• Preferred login name for the customer
• Alarm.com Radio Serial Number
At the end of the account creation process you will be able to print a
Welcome Letter for the customer that has their login information and
temporary password for the Alarm.com website.

To initiate module communication with Alarm.com and/or the cellular
network the first time, perform a “communications test”. A communications
test can also be used at any time to force communication with Alarm.com
To perform the communications test on Neo, press and hold [3] for two
seconds. The communications test can also be generated by pressing [*][6]
followed by the master code and [4], or via the Interactive Services menu.
See the Interactive Menus section for information on how to peform the
communications test through these menus.
The Neo panel will let you know when the communications test has
completed by activating the siren output on medium volume for 2 seconds
followed by full volume alarm for 2 seconds. If the communications test was
initiated via the [3] key or the Interactive Services menu then the siren will
not sound. All display lights and LCD pixels turn on. This indicates that
Alarm.com has received and acknowledged the signal. This does not
guarantee that the signal went through to a central station; it confirms that
the Alarm.com Operations Center received the signal. The central station
should be contacted directly to verify that the signal was received on the
correct account and that the Central Station routing settings have been set
up correctly.
The signal may not go through to the central station if (a) the Central Station
Account settings were entered incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or
(b) if Alarm.com was unable to send the signal successfully to the Central
Station receivers. In these cases the panel will show a “Failure to
Communicate” message.
Installation
Panel Settings
Follow these guidelines during installation:
 Before affixing the panel to a wall, verify the cellular signal level at the
installation location. On the Neo panel, press and hold the 5 key for 10
seconds to view the cellular signal level. An installation location with a
sustained signal level of two or more bars is recommended.
 Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel power
for the ADC-620T Module, hardwired sensors, and /or sirens. Refer to
the specific panel installation instructions for details. Only one
Alarm.com Module can be used per Neo panel.
 The ADC-620T Module draws on average 100mA during normal
operation. In PowerSave Mode, during or immediately following an AC
power failure, the module will draw only 5mA on average.
 Avoid mounting the panel in areas with excessive metal or electrical
wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.
 Do not install the control panel and module in a basement or other
below-ground location. Doing so will negatively impact signal strength.
Night Arming
The Neo panel has the ability to night arm, which arms the perimeter and
restricts movement to designated interior areas. Night arming via the panel
should be restricted to one of the five function keys. For more information
on Night Arming and how to program the function keys see the installation
guide provided with the panel.
Central Station and Telephone Line Settings
Central Station and telephone line settings will be automatically configured
through the CS Forwarding Settings page of the Dealer Site. Note that the
system cannot be programmed if it is armed, in alarm, or in installer
programming. Before changing any panel settings through AirfX or the Dealer
Site, ensure the panel is not in any of these states. following are the panel
settings that will be configured via the Dealer Site page and should not be
configured in the panel:
