General Information
The IPGSM-4GC Commercial Fire Communicator (henceforth referred to as IPGSM-4GC) includes everything you need
to upgrade a commercial fire system that previously reported by POTS to a system that uses the Internet as its primary
reporting path, and uses a GSM cellular reporting path as a backup. In addition, the communicator’s power module
(PowerBoost1) monitors and reports AC power loss, and low battery conditions.
NOTE: When programmed for an IP, or GSM, or IP & GSM reporting path, this product functions as an ACTIVE
communication system.
Package Contents
Red Fire Cabinet and Back Plate Antenna and Mounting Adapter Mounting Rails (for above)
Cam Lock with Key PowerBoost1 Hardware Bag
Dialer Capture Module Battery harness/fuse (# 100-02415) Transformer, 18VAC
Communicator Ferrite Filter (# 1451-UL9)
50 ohm cable assembly (for antenna) LED Display board
Compatible Fire Panels
The IPGSM-4GC is compatible with all ULC Listed Fire Panels that use the Contact ID communication format, as
described in the SIA DC-05 Standard, and have the model 659EN Line Fault Monitor installed.
After completing the field installation, verify communications with the central station is successful by sending several
events. Also, get confirmation that these events were received.
IMPORTANT: For a fire panel that has more than 9 active zones (or partitions), the first 9 zones are reported
to the central station uniquely. Beyond 9 zones, only the 2nd digit of the zone is reported along with a leading
zero (example partition 14 is reported as 04). The installer must inform the central station of this
condition.
Operation
The IPGSM-4GC replaces the fire panel's POTS communications path. When an event occurs, the fire panel goes off-
hook to dial the central station. The IPGSM-4GC detects the off-hook condition and provides the fire panel with a dial
tone. When the fire panel detects the dial tone, it begins dialing the central station. The IPGSM-4GC considers the
three second period after dialing as the number dialing has been completed. After the dialing is completed, the Dialer
Capture Module returns a handshake to the fire panel.
The fire panel then sends the contact ID reports to the IPGSM-4GC, which in turn sends a kiss-off after the report is
successfully received from the fire panel. Within the IPGSM-4GC, the Dialer Capture Module sends the contact ID
reports over the ECP bus to the Communicator. When all the reports are sent, the fire panel goes on-hook. The
IPGSM-4GC then transmits the messages to the central station (either over the internet or the GSM network).
Installation
ULC Compliance
This product is compliant with CAN/ULC-S559 (Equipment for Fire Signal Receiving Centers and Systems). To meet this
specification ensure the following:
IPGSM-4GC must be installed in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
IPFSM-4GC must be used with compatible Fire Panels that have the 659EN Line Fault Monitor installed.
IPGSM-4GC must be mounted in the same room and within 20 feet of the fire panel.

IPGSM-4GC Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide
– 2 –
STEP 1 – Setup the Customer Account
The communicator requires a subscriber account (customer account) to be setup with AlarmNet Direct. This is
accomplished by registering the communicator with AlarmNet. Registering, enables the fire panel to send reports.
To setup the customer account you will need to contact the central monitoring station to get account information, and
have access to the AlarmNet Direct website. To access the AlarmNet Direct website visit –
https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect
If you do not wish to use the AlarmNet Direct website, you may call AlarmNet to setup the account, just phone 800-
222-6525, then select option 1. (Monday–Friday 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 5:30 pm EST)
Have the following information ready:
Primary City ID (two digits), obtained from your
monitoring station.
Primary Subscriber ID (four digits), obtained from
your monitoring station.
Primary Central Station ID (two digits), obtained from
your monitoring station.
Communicator's MAC ID, and MAC CRC number
located on outside of box, and inside the
communicator.
Note: The SIM supplied for the IPGSM-4GC is already activated. Therefore no SIM activation is
necessary.
STEP 2 – Register the Communicator with AlarmNet
Registering the communicator activates the account with AlarmNet and enables the fire system's control panel to send
reports. There are three methods that can be used to register the communicator.
Register the communicator by logging into AlarmNet Direct and choosing “Show Programmed Devices GSM/I”.
Search for the account using the Account Information or MAC ID. Under the “Actions” column, use the
pulldown menu and choose Register. OR
After the IPGSM-4GC is installed and programmed, you can register the communicator by clicking the Tamper
Switch 3 times. OR
After the IPGSM-4GC is installed and programmed, you can register the communicator using the 7720P
Programming tool. Simply: Press [Shift ] then press []. Please wait for "Registration SUCCESS" message.
STEP 3 – Determine the Signal Strength and Select a Location
IMPORTANT - Do Not mount this device outdoors.
RF Exposure
Warning – The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 20 cm (7.8 inches) from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
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 in order to find a suitable mounting
location.
Note: Since the SIM is already activated, the RSSI signal strength indicators will indicate signal
strength.
1. For this procedure you will need a fully charged 12V battery.
2. Attach the Antenna Mounting Adapter, RF cable, and Antenna (see illustration on page 6).
IPGSM-4GC Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide
– 3 –
3. Temporarily wire the battery's negative [–] terminal to TB1–4 on the communicator, then wire the battery's
plus [+] terminal to TB1–2 on the communicator. Wait about one minute for the communicator to initialize.
4. Position the assembly near a suitable mounting position and observe the RSSI display.
5. Look for a mounting position that yields at least 3 bars lit solid. For optimal
performance 4 or 5 bars are better.
6. Verify the signal strength remains steady for a few minutes, then mark that
mounting position. Disconnect the battery.
STEP 4 – Mount and Wire
For ULC compliant installations, refer to the topic on
ULC Compliance
in this manual.
For ULC compliant installations, the Telco line wiring and the Power Transformer wiring must be
routed through conduit.
For Dry/Indoor use only.
Additional cabinet wiring may be routed through conduit if desired.
This communicator comes partially assembled with all the components mounted except the external Antenna, LED
Display board, and PowerBoost1. To protect certain components on the PowerBoost1, it is shipped un-mounted. All
internal wiring is complete.
Note: Refer to the diagram on page 6, and to the Wiring Diagram on the inside of the back cover of this
manual for wiring and component identification.
1. Remove knockouts from cabinet to accommodate the power input wires, and wiring to the fire panel. (DO
NOT REMOVE the two knockouts directly above the PowerBoost1.) Then mount the cabinet securely to the
wall using 4 screws or bolts. Use screws or bolts that are suitable for the material being anchored to.
2. Ensure the cabinet door lock is installed.
3. Install the two plastic mounting rails for the LED Display board. They simply snap into the back plate holes.
4. Connect the LED Display board to its connector, then slide the board into the mounting rails. (Refer to the
“
LED Display Information
” topic if a wire is detached from its connector.)
5. Carefully remove the packaging material that surrounds the PowerBoost1.
6. Mount the PowerBoost1 on the three unused standoffs. Use the two metal screws and lock washers to fasten
the left side of the circuit board. Ensure the lock washers are located between the circuit board and the head
of the two metal screws. The right side of the board just snaps in place on the upper right standoff.
7. Use the 1451-UL9 Wired Transformer directly connected to un-switched facility power. Connect and route
14AWG (minimum) insulated wire from facility ground to the 1451-UL9 enclosure ground post and through the
conduit to the IPGSM-4GC cabinet ground post.
8. Route wire (minimum 18AWG) from the transformer secondary, through the conduit to the cabinet. Pass the
wires through the Ferrite Filter, then loop the wires back through again making a loop. (Ensure the wire ends
that connect to the PowerBoost1 are tinned or equivalently arranged.) Connect the wires to the PowerBoost1
AC terminals. At this time DO NOT apply power.
9. Ensure all ground connections are tight.
10. Connect the Ethernet cable and the Telco 1 and Telco 2 lines. If you choose to use an optional Cabinet
Tamper Switch (if the fire panel supports it) mount and wire it.

IPGSM-4GC Trouble Detection Information
Telco 1 is used for the Fire Panel to output contact ID messages to the IPGSM-4GC, and Telco 2 is used by the IPGSM-
4GC to report faults to the Fire Panel. If Telco 1 is not operational, the Fire Panel will use Telco 2 to report events if
there are no faults in the Communicator.
Fault Condition Indication to Fire Panel
