Product Installation Document
1 Overview
The CLSS Pathway (HW-AV-LTE-M) is a dual-path cellular communicator. It transmits data from a fire alarm control panel (FACP)
to a central monitoring station. It communicates over AT&T and Verizon networks. The SIM cards are configured in an active/active
state, and will automatically fail over from Verizon to AT&T in the event of a cellular outage. It transmits Contact ID, SIA, or 4x2 data
from the fire alarm control panel to the supervising station or monitoring center (Supported SIA formats- SIA8, SIA20, SIA2000.
Supported 4x2 frequencies - 1400 Hz, 2300 Hz).
This document includes instructions for mounting and wiring only. For this purpose, the guide uses the optional enclosure
