Initial Panel Programming - DSC TL2803GR Installation Manual

NOTE: If the required signal strength is too low with the panel in its current location, the panel
must be relocated or an external antenna is required.
If required, the following cellular extension antenna kits are available to the installer:
• GS-15ANTQ - 4.57m (15') Internal Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for interior mounting only).
• GS-25ANTQ - 7.62m (25') External Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for exterior mounting only).
• GS-50ANTQ - 15.24m (50')External Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for exterior mounting only).
Specific instructions for the installation of the extension antenna are included with the kit. Observe
all the electrical safety instructions regarding the installation of the antenna. All the wiring of the
equipment shall be fully compliant with the local rules and regulations.
3. If required, install the antenna extension and perform the following steps to determine the best
location for placement of the antenna:
a. Disconnect the white whip antenna from the panel.
b. Attach one end of the antenna extension cable to the threaded antenna connector on the
panel and the other end to the external antenna.
4. Move the extension antenna to various locations while observing the two green LEDs on the
panel.
a. Continue to reposition the extension antenna until you receive an acceptable (minimum one
green LED ON solid) signal strength.
NOTE: Minimum strength is:
is flashing, relocation should be considered.
b. Mount the supplied antenna extension bracket at the location that provides the best signal
strength.
5. Alternately, reposition the panel to improve signal strength. Dismount the panel and move it to
another location to achieve the required signal strength. If the panel is relocated to improve sig-
nal strength, mount it in the new location.
6. When final panel/antenna location is determined, continue at the Initial Panel Programming-
section.
NOTE: If the SIM card is not activated, placement test will indicate the signal strength of the
nearest cellular tower.
NOTE: In between displaying signal strength, the signal strength LEDs will flash alternately if an
inactive SIM card is used. The flashing indicates that the module is attempting to attach to
the cellular network and will only last a short while.
Keypad Data Display
• Section-Toggle Options: The number is displayed when toggle is ON, the number is not dis-
played when toggle is OFF. (e.g., toggle options displays: [--3--6--]. Options 3 and 6 are ON,
all others are OFF). Pressing keys 1 through 8 will alternately turn the toggle ON and OFF.
• HEX/Decimal Data: Values that are provided with two defaults, separated by a "/" character,
use the format: hexadecimal followed by decimal equivalent (e.g., default (0BF5/3061)). Hexa-
decimal numbers are shown, with all leading zeros, to the full field length defined for the num-
ber.
Entering HEX Values at Keypad
To enter HEX values at the keypad, you must press the * key before entering the HEX value. (e.g.,
to enter "C" at the keypad, press [*][3])
