Installation tips

Introduction

Use the following tips to help guarantee your success with the

Alarm.com Concord GSM Module:

1. Make sure you create the customer account on the

Alarm.com dealer website at least 24 hours before installa-

tion. See Account creation on page 6.

2. Make sure you turn off the Access Code Lock feature.

3. Use the LEDs on the module to check the signal strength

before you permanently mount the module.

This is the GE SuperBus 2000 Concord 4 GSM Module Installa-

tion Instructions for part number 600-1053. The module can be

used on Concord 4.0 and higher.

The module interfaces with the Concord panel data bus and is

supply. Status LEDs indicate bus and paging network communi-

cations. A supervised zone input allows you to connect a hard-

wired contact. Figure 1 shows the location of the main module

components and T a ble 1 describes the component functions.

4. Power the module off of the battery (see Wiring on page 3),

not off of the panel.

5. Do a manual phone test to initiate communication (see

Figure 1. Main module components

Power up on page 4).

Case tamper switch installation

Wiring

If the module is easily accessible, you can add case tamper detec-

tion to activate an alarm or trouble (depending on panel program-

ming) when the cover is removed.

To wire the module, do the following:

1. Remove AC panel power and disconnect the backup battery.

To install the tamper switch, see Figure 6 and do the following:

CAUTION:

To prevent damaging the panel or

module, you must remove panel AC

power and disconnect the backup

battery before making or changing

wiring connections.

1. Slide the reed switch into the plastic holder on the module

backplate.

Installation Instructions

Power up

Status LEDs

To power up the module and panel and start communication

between them, do the following:

1. Verify that all wiring between the panel and module is

correct.

2. Connect the backup battery and restore AC power to the

panel.

The status LEDs, located on the left side of the module (Figure 1

on page 1) indicate the current signal and status of the Wireless

Gateway Module. The bottom red LED indicates if the module is

in range and if it is registered. The yellow and green LEDs indi-

cate the message status. The top LED is not used.

Red LED

Note:

Whenever any module is added or changed, you

must remove panel power and reapply it for the panel

and module to communicate successfully.

On. When the module is in range and registered with the

network.

Off. When the module is out of range and not registered

with the network.

3. Enter installer program mode and turn off the Access Code

Lock feature (Security menu). This must be set to off for the

system to communicate with Alarm.com. The module PWR

LED should turn on. After a few seconds, the module BUS

and AUTO LEDs should flash to indicate successful

communication with the panel.

Blinks. When the module is registered with the network,

but out of range.

Yellow LED

On. After the first message has been sent by the module

and received by Alarm.com.

4. Verify that GSM status LED 1 is not flashing any errors (see

GSM status LEDs on page 5). Also, verify that LED 4 is at

least flashing a level of two. Otherwise, relocate the

module. If LED 1 and LED 4 are not flashing at all, and

LED 2 and LED 3 are flashing together, the module is in

PowerSave mode and the battery needs to be charged.

Off. Until a message has been sent by the module.

Blinks. When the first message is being sent by the

module.

Green LED

5. Do an installer GSM manual phone test (at a system

touchpad, enter 8, installer code, 3). Disarm the panel by

entering 1, installer code within 10 seconds of starting the

phone test. Before doing the manual phone test, the bottom

red status LED should be on and the yellow status LED

should be flashing. The yellow LED will stay on solid once

the manual phone test is completed.

Off. As soon as Alarm.com receives the message from the

module (off most of the time).

Blinks. When the message is being sent by the module.

T a ble 4 describes status LED condition patterns.

number label on the module (Figure 1 on page 1).

Idle mode

LED 1 (red)

In Idle mode, the AC power is up, the battery level is greater than

11.5 volts, and the module is not currently connected to the

Alarm.com servers. This is normal for the module and the most

common state.

LED 1 flashes when an error is encountered. The number of

flashes is the error number. If there are two or more errors at the

same time, the errors will be flashes one after the other. The LED

will stay off for at least four seconds between errors.

LED 1. Flashes errors, if any.

T a ble 5 describes the errors indicated by LED 1.

LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.

LED 3. Indicates communication with the radio unit.

LED 4. Indicates the signal level (1 to 5 bars).

Table 5.

Error descriptions

Flashes

Error description

Module cannot communicate with the panel. Check wiring

between the panel and the module. Make sure the bus wires are

not swapped.

PowerSave mode

In PowerSave mode, the module just powered up, AC power is

down, or battery level is less than 11.5 volts. The radio part of the

module draws 10 mA in PowerSave mode. It is fully functional

and will go into Connected mode as soon as a signal needs to be

sent. Doing a manual phone test will switch the module into Idle

mode and update the signal level reading.

The SIM card is missing. The SIM card holder can be found in the

gateway just below the antenna (Figure 1 on page 1).

This is a common error if the module takes more than ten seconds

to register with the GSM network. It is normal for this error to show

up for approximately 30 seconds while the module registers with

the GSM network (at power up, for example). If it persists, then the

module is unable to register with the GSM network. Check LED 4

for the signal level. If the signal is too low, change the module’s

location or use a higher gain antenna. If the signal is good, the

module may be roaming on a GSM network that doesn’t partner

with ATT-Cingular. If the module had been communicating in the

past, there may be new interference from some other device or

building.

LED 1. Inactive.

LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.

LED 3. Same flashing pattern as LED 2.

LED 4. Inactive.

The module is registered on the GSM network, but cannot connect

with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.

Connected mode

In Connected mode, the module is connected to the Alarm.com

servers and reported an alarm or other condition. The module

stays in Connected mode for at least six minutes after the last

message is exchanged. Entering Installer Programming mode

will cause the module to go into Idle mode.

The radio portion of the module is not working correctly.

This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute. Otherwise,

it is an indication that the module is fixing an unusual condition

regarding the communication with the GSM network.

Access Code Lock is on. The module cannot do certain operations

with the panel. This option should be turned off at the panel

(System Programming - 0003).

LED 1. Flashes errors, if any.

LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.

LED 3. Indicates communication with Alarm.com.

LED 4. Alternates two seconds on, then two seconds off.

Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.

LED 2 (yellow)

LED 2 flashes with every communication between the module

and the panel. Normal pattern calls for a series of quick flashes

every two seconds in Idle mode or four seconds in PowerSave

mode.

Sensors 94, 95, and 96

If sensors 94, 95, and 96 are not learned in, after doing a manual

phone test, the text for these sensors will display important infor-

mation for troubleshooting purposes. Alarm.com technical

support staff may request this information during service calls.

LED 3 (green)

LED 3 flashes with every communication between the module

and its radio unit in Idle mode and with every communication

with Alarm.com in Connected mode. In PowerSave mode, this

LED flashes in unison with LED 2.

Sensor 94 text. SIM card number.

Sensor 95 text. Type of central station reports enabled.

Sensor 96 text. Serial number.

LED 4 (green)

LED 4 indicates the GSM signal level as a number of flashes (1

to 5). The signal level is updated every eight seconds. No flashes

indicate one of the following:

• The module is in PowerSave mode or in Connected mode.

• The module is powered up or has just exited PowerSave

mode.

• There is no GSM tower coverage in the area.

In Connected mode, the LED toggles on and off.
