Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions Over Cellular Path
Before beginning this step, make sure that the LAN cable is disconnected.
Trip several alarms on the alarm panel and verify that the Central Station received them by calling the Central
Station operator. When using a DACT, "listen" to communications between the alarm panel and IntelliCom using a
lineman's butt-set in MONITOR MODE connected to the IntelliCom's "T" and "R" test pins.
Once you have verified the cellular pathway, reconnect the LAN cable.
If you are having problems getting reliable alarm signal transmissions, additional adjustments may be necessary:
• Recheck signal strength. You need at least RSSI = 2 (TWO LEDS ON SOLID) for adequate signal
transmission in dual path mode or 2 ½ (TWO LEDS ON SOLID AND A THIRD FLASHING) for Sole
Path mode. Also, check the antenna connector and make sure it is seated correctly.
Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions Over LAN Path
This step is necessary when IntelliCom is in dual path mode with LAN either primary or secondary. Before
beginning this step, make sure that the antenna is disconnected.
Trip several alarms on the alarm panel and verify that the Central Station received them by calling the Central
Station operator.
Once you have verified the LAN pathway, reconnect the IntelliCom antenna.

Connect Supervisory Trip Outputs

Ethernet connected Potter panels do not require supervisory trip outputs when IntelliCom is powered from the Potter fire
alarm control panel. In cases where STC is required or desired, connect and test the supervisory trip outputs to the alarm
panel.
Enabling of a local alarm or strobe light may be desirable when a trip is declared. The STC trip output can be used
directly to activate a local signaling device, provided that the trip output is not needed to trip the alarm panel at the
same time. If both a local signaling device and an alarm panel are required, then external relays are needed to provide
additional uncommitted contacts.
UL Compliance NOTE:
(ACFC) and low battery (LBC) conditions when the IntelliCom Advanced Gateway is using its own Power Supply and
not powered by the panel. Ethernet connected Potter panels do not require supervisory trip outputs when IntelliCom is
powered from the Potter fire alarm control panel.
