General - DSC TL2803GR Installation Manual

IMPORTANT
This installation manual shall be used in conjunction with the control panel. All the safety instruc-
tions specified within that manual shall be observed. The control panel is referenced as the "panel"
throughout this document.
The Internet and HSPA(3G) dual-path alarm communicator is a fixed, wall-mounted unit, and
shall be installed in the location specified in these instructions.The equipment enclosure must be
fully assembled and closed, with all the necessary screws/tabs, and secured to a wall before opera-
tion. Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:
• Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections,
• Interference between power limited and non power limited wiring,
• Loosening of terminal connections, or
• Damage of conductor insulation.
WARNING: Never install this equipment during a lightning storm.
Safety Information
The installer must instruct the system user on each of the following:
• Do not attempt to service this product. Opening or removing covers may expose the user to
dangerous voltages or other risks.
• Any servicing shall be referred to service persons only.
• Use authorized accessories only with this equipment.
• Do not stay close to the equipment during device operation.
• Do not touch the external antenna.
Model Information
This manual covers the following models of alarm communicators: TL2803GR, TL2803G,
3G2080R, 3G2080 (850/1900MHz operation), TL2803GR-EU, TL2803G-EU, 3G2080R-EU,
3G2080-EU (900/2100MHz operation), TL2803G-AU, 3G2080-AU, TL2803GR-AU, and
3G2080R-AU (850/2100MHz operation). References to model names TL2803G(R) and
3G2080(R) throughout this manual apply to all specified models unless stated differently. Models
ending in "R" include a built-in RS-422 interface for connecting to local third party applications.
3G2080(R): Is a HSPA(3G) cellular alarm communicator that sends alarm communication to
Sur-Gard System I, II, III (SG-DRL3IP), IV (SG-DRL4IP), and 5 (SG-DRL5IP) central station
receivers via a HSPA(3G)/GPRS digital cellular network.
TL2803G(R): Is a dual-path HSPA(3G) Ethernet alarm communicator that sends alarm communi-
cation to Sur-Gard System I, II, III, IV, and 5 central station receivers through Ethernet/Internet or
a HSPA(3G)/GPRS digital cellular network.
The communicator can be used as either a backup or primary communicator. The communicator
supports Internet Protocol (IP) transmission of panel and communicator events over Ethernet/
Internet and/or HSPA/GPRS.
The cellular performance of the 3G2080(R) or TL2803G(R) communicator depends greatly on
HSPA(3G)/GPRS network coverage in the local area. The unit should not be mounted in the final
location without first performing the communicator placement test below to determine the best
location for radio reception (minimum of one green LED ON). Optional antenna kits (GS-
15ANTQ, GS-25ANTQ and GS-50ANTQ) are available from DSC to improve signal strength as
required.
NOTE: Prior to installation of the 3G2080(R) or TL2803G(R) communicator, confirm with your
local service provider that the HSPA(3G)/GPRS network is available and active in the
area where the communicator will be installed, and that radio signal strength (CSQ) is
adequate.
Panel Mounting
The following communicators are compatible with HS2016, HS2032, HS2064, and HS2128 panels:
• 3G2080(R) (HSPA(3G)/GPRS only)
