Section 8: COM-900 additional communicator
Communication module for cellular networks. The COM-900 is connected to the
PC-900 family through a socket located in the main board that allows the quick
addition of one more means of communication to the security system.
The COM-900 does not require external power supply or additional cabins.
8.1 General information
The COM-900 communicator is designed to report events through a mobile data
connection:

8.4 Status light indicators
The COM-900 communicator includes a variety of leds that indicate the different
status of the communicator.
There are leds that indicate mobile network signal strength and the results of reports
to the server and the monitoring stations.
Explanation of light indicators:
WiFi Antenna
Signal 1-5
No Signal
There are two groups of leds, those that indicate the strength of the mobile network
connection and those that indicate the results of communications through such
network.
Mobile network signal Led indicators
These leds indicate if the communicator is connected or not to a network.
If the communicator is connected to a mobile network, the blue Led that represents
the 3G Antenna will indicate the signal strength by blinking as many times as the
signal level.
The number of flashes represents the signal level, being 1 flash for a very low signal
level and 5 flashes to indicate the maximum signal level.
If the communicator is not connected to a mobile network, the red Led "No Signal" will
be on indicating that the communicator is not connected to a mobile network.
Communication Led indicators
The communicator is prepared to communicate through mobile data.
In all cases, in the event of a communication or any kind of report, the result will be
indicated through the leds that represent communications.
In the event of a report to the monitoring station or in residential format, the result
will be represented through two leds, one indicating successful report (ACK) or the
other indicating communication failure (NAK).
If the communicator reports supervision to the monitoring station or to the server,
both leds will turn on simultaneously.
"NET" Led
This led indicates the status of the mobile data network.

200mS on / 1800 mS off
1800 mS on / 200 mS off
125 mS on / 125 mS off
