Page 3: About The Communicator
ABOUT THE COMMUNICATOR The DualCom™ communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path and integrated primary and secondary communication on one PCB. For commercial fire or residential fire installations, DualComNF modules feature primary network communication, secondary cellular communication, and two sets of tip and ring terminals. For non‑fire residential installations, DualComWZ modules feature built‑in primary Wi‑Fi communication, secondary cellular communication, Z‑Wave integration, and one set of tip and ring terminals. -
Page 4: Programming (Prog) Connection
Programming (PROG) Connection A 4‑pin programming header is provided to connect a keypad when using a DMP Model 330 programming cable. This provides a quick and easy connection for programming the communicator. For 24 VDC applications, connect the keypad using a Model 330‑24 4‑wire programming harness with an in‑line resistor. After programming is complete, remove the keypad. -

Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION Select a Location Install the communicator away from metal objects. Do not mount the communicator inside or on a control panel metal enclosure. Mounting the communicator on or near metal surfaces impairs cellular performance. Mount the Communicator The communicator should be mounted to a wall using the included #6 screws in the mounting holes. See Figure 1a and 1b. -
Page 7: Wire The Communicator
Wire the Communicator When connecting component wires, route all wires so they will not interfere with the tamper switch. See Figures 2 and 3 for wire routing options. Connect the Antenna Place the antenna onto the SMA connector. Refer back to Figure 1a or 1b. Twist the antenna until it is securely tightened. -
Page 8: Applications
APPLICATIONS The DualCom communicator can be used in a variety of applications. CID Dialer Connection LOAD RESET Directly connect one or both tip and ring terminals from the control panel to the communicator. See Figure 4. This connection captures Contact ID messages from any fire panel that are based on the SIA communication standard DC‑05‑1999.09‑DCS. - Page 9 Zone 4 Bell Connection Zone 4 (Z4+ and Z4‑) can be connected to the control panel bell output. This zone detects an alarm condition on the control panel by monitoring the voltage and cadence timing of the bell output. The communicator evaluates the first 3.5 seconds of bell cadence timing to detect the type of alarm sent.
