WARNING
Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each
item in this warning to the attention of the 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 operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a
security professional to ensure that all access points and areas 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 and
construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity.
An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
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 develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be
reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an 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.
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
render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage
fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
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 device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or
low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low
battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or
deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which
follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detec-
tors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the 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, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing
with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They
cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They
have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot
detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether 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 infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the
ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the
detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting
and so on.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as 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 is less likely that the occupants
will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may 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.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency
due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time
to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to
the failure of a component.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance.
The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing
devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is 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 the harmful effects of an emergency
situation.

Introduction
The GS2060/GS2065 Communicator is a GSM / GPRS wireless alarm communicators that send alarm system information to a
System I, System II, or System III receiver through the GSM / GPRS digital cellular network.
The TL206GS/TL265GS Communicators are dual-path alarm communicators that send alarm system information to a System I,
System II, or System III receiver through the Ethernet / Internet or the GSM / GPRS digital cellular network.
The performance of the TL260GS/TL265GS/GS2060/GS2065 Communicator depends greatly on GSM network coverage. It
should not, therefore, be mounted without first performing placement tests to determine the best location for reception (minimum
of one green LED On). Optional antenna kits are available.
Installation of the Communicator requires activation with CONNECT 24 to operate. Dealer application forms and additional information on the CONNECT 24 Voice Response Unit (VRU) and web user-interface can be found at www.connect24.com or at the
following telephone numbers:
USA 1-888-251-7458 CANADA 1-888-955-5583
Installation of the Communicator requires the local installer to perform all module programming.
NOTE: A computer with Internet access is necessary for this programming.
To program the Communicator, take the following steps:
1. On your hard drive, locate the laptop’s IP address. Retrieve the number of the listening port; this is assigned by the application. You should also have on hand the Communicator’s phone number.
2. Using this phone number send the Communicator an 18-digit SMS text message. This SMS text message is to be configured as: ! + IP address + Port number, without stops or spaces (e.g. !11122233344412345). Note that if you intend to use a
port number on your system of less than five digits, this number must be padded with zeroes to bring it up to five digits in
length (E.g. Port number 123 must become 00123; note that the zeroes must be added to the beginning of the port number).
This message contains the information which allows the Communicator to link up with your laptop.
3. With an existing installation of DLS IV downloading software on your laptop, you now have the ability to program the
Communicator using the GUI on the screen. See Options on page 23 for detailed programming information. Also, please refer
to your DLS IV manual.
For UL Residential Fire and Burglary installations, the TL260GS/TL265GS/GS2060/GS2065 Communicator is listed as a primary (sole) communication means or as a backup when used in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
For UL Commercial Burglary installations, the TL260GS/TL265GS/GS2060/GS2065 Communicator is listed for supplementary (backup) use in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
This GSM / Ethernet Communicator is fixed and shall be installed by Service Persons only (Service Person is defined as a person
having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in
performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). It shall be installed and used within an
environment that provides the pollution degree max 2, over voltages category II, in non-hazardous, indoor locations only. This
manual shall be used with the Installation Manual of the alarm control panel. All instructions specified within that manual must be
observed.

PC1616 / PC1832 / PC1864 Programming
In order that your Communicator and your panel operate correctly together, specific panel options must be set. Take the following
steps to ensure that your Communicator and your panel work together as intended.
These options must be set at the panel keypad.
1. Program the hexadecimal digits (DCAA) in the telephone number that will be used to contact the GSM / Ethernet Communicator (panel Options 301, 302, 303, ‘Telephone Phone Number Programming’).
NOTE: The leading digit ‘D’ in the telephone number for dial tone detection is pre-programmed.
2. In Option 350, program the communication format as SIA FSK.
3. In Options 351 through Option 376, program the call direction sub-options for the phone number being used to communicate using the GSM / Ethernet Communicator.
4. Option 382, sub-option 5 must be set to ON.
Option 301, 302, 303
• If a legitimate telephone number is entered in these options, you must use PSTN. If a legitimate telephone number is not used,
you must use DCAA and route through the Communicator.
• Options 301 is Primary communication path, and may be configured either as PSTN or DCAA. Option 302 is redundant, and
Option 303 is the backup telephone number to Option 301.
Option 350
If Option 301 (above) is set to DCAA, Option 350 must be set to SIA.
Option 382
Option 382, sub-option 5, ‘T-Link Interface Enabled’, must be set to On.
PC9155 Programming
Specific panel options must be set for the correct operation of the Communicator.
With the PC9155 panel, four telephone lines are available to backup one another. You can set up these four lines to perform in one
of two ways: Backup dialling or Alternate dialling.
• In the case of Backup dialling, each of the four telephone lines will make five dialling attempts in turn, before a FTC (Failure
to Communicate) trouble is generated to the keypad.
• In the case of Alternate dialling, each line makes one dialling attempt before moving on to the next line, cycling through the
four lines for a total of five times each. At that point, an FTC trouble is made to the keypad.
You can choose from among five different paths, according to your particular system requirements:
• DCAA - Internal (Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, GSM 1, GSM 2)
• DCBB - Ethernet 1
• DCCC - Ethernet 2 (backup)
• DCDD - GSM 1
• DCEE - GSM 2 (backup)
NOTE: Add a single ‘F’ as a suffix to the entry to populate the remainder of the unused field.
Option 301, 302, 303, 305
• If a legitimate telephone number is entered in these options, signal will be communicated using PSTN. If DCAA is entered,
signals will be routed depending on the GS / IP module programming. If DCBB, signals will be sent to Ethernet Receiver 1,
DCCC = Ethernet Receiver 2, DCDD = GPRS Receiver 1, DCEE = GPRS Receiver 2.
• Options 301, 302, 303 and 305 can be configured as Primary communication paths. Options 302, 303 and 305 may also be
configured for backup or redundant communications by using Option 383.
Option 350
If Option 301 (above) is set to DCAA, Option 350 must be set to SIA.
17
Option 382
Option 382, sub-option 5, ‘T-Link Interface Enabled’, must be set to On.

This trouble will be indicated when communication between the Communicator module and the control panel fails. If for some
reason the the module can not communicate with the panel - eg, loss of power to the panel - the module itself will send a ‘Panel
Absent Trouble Event’ message to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a ‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is
sent by the module to the central station receiver. Its reporting codes are ET0001 for Trouble, ER0001 for Restore.
NOTE: The Panel Supervision Trouble / Restore is an internal event. It is the only in ternal event; all other events
are external.
Lockout Trouble
This trouble will signify that the SIM lock feature has been enabled and the unit has not been programmed with the correct PIN for
the SIM card. Lockout Trouble equates to SIM Lock Trouble or Network Lock Trouble.
GSM Trouble
This trouble is indicated for any one of the three following conditions: Radio or SIM Failure; GSM Network Trouble; Insufficient
Signal Strength.
Ethernet Trouble
This trouble is indicated when the Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local hub or router is absent.
Receiver Not Available
This trouble is triggered if the unit is not able to successfully initialize with any of the programmed receivers.
Receiver Supervision Trouble
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the communicator module and the
receiver fails.
FTC Trouble
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module events to the central station.
Connect 24 Configuration SMS Failure
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to receive programming from Connect24.
Remote Programming
This indication is displayed during a remote firmware upgrade or during remote console programming.
Remote Firmware Update Pending
This indication is displayed when the UL Firmware Update feature is enabled and the TFTP settings have been loaded into the
unit. It is indicated by twelve flashes of the Trouble Status LED.
When this indication is present, local user intervention is required to complete the firmware update process. The user must place
the hardware default jumper on the unit, then reset the unit to complete the firmware upgrade process.

Adding an Antenna Extension
In the case of poor signal strength, an Antenna Extension Bracket kit may be required to rectify it. Take the following steps to
install an antenna extension kit:
1. Turn off the power to the Communicator by physically unplugging the unit from its power supply.
2. Attach one end of the extension cable to the Communicator and the other end to the antenna itself.
3. Reattach the power supply and turn on.
4. Move the antenna around until you have received a strong signal.
5. Mount the antenna bracket at that location.
Hardware Default Jumper
You can reset the hardware options for the Communicator. Reasons for doing so could include, but are not restricted to, a change of
the central station IP address, or a system malfunction without obvious causes. Take the following steps to reset your Communicator’s hardware options to their default settings.
1. Locate the set of five vertically aligned pins in the middle of the Communicator board.
2. Counting from the bottom, the first three pins are reserved for future use. You may discount these.
3. The final two pins require a jumper in order to reset the hardware values.
4. Turn off power to the Communicator.
