4GT LTE Cat-M1 Installation Manual 3.3 Schematics for wiring inputs The 4GT communicator has two input terminals (IN1, IN2) for connecting NO, NC, NO/EOL, NC/EOL, NO/DEOL, NC/DEOL type circuits. Default input setting – NO. The input type can be changed in the myMonitoring App. Connect the input according to the selected input type (NO, NC, NO/EOL, NC/EOL, NO/DEOL, NC/DEOL), as shown in the wiring diagrams below. Note: If more inputs or outputs need to be connected to the communicator, or if you want to connect a temperature sensor, connect the iO series wired or wireless output expander. 2019 Page | 11...

4GT LTE Cat-M1 Installation Manual 3.6 Starting the communicator To start the communicator, turn on the security control panel’s power supply. The LED indication on the 4GT must show: - “POWER” Led illuminates green when the power is on; - “NETWORK” LED illuminates green and blinks yellow when the communicator is registered to the network Note: Sufficient strength of 2G cellular signal is level five (five “NETWORK” indicator flashes in yellow color). Sufficient strength of 4G signal is level three (three “NETWORK” indicator flashes in yellow color). If you count less yellow “NETWORK” LED flashes, the network signal strength is insufficient. We recommend selecting a different place to install the communicator, or to use a more sensitive cellular antenna.
