23 Warning: Installer Please Read Carefully
Note to installers
The warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is the installer’s responsibility to bring
each item in this warning to the attention of all users of this system.
System failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types
of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as
expected for a variety of reasons. Some, but not all, of the reasons may be:
Accessbyintruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient
coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
Component failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
Compromiseof radio frequency(Wireless)
A device's signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances, which could include: metal objects placed on or near the radio path,
deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
Criminal knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent
to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that your security system be reviewed periodically to
ensure that its features remain effective and that it is updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Failureof replaceablebatteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life
is a function of the device environment, usage, and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature
fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries
need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating
condition.
Inadequateinstallation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security
professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as
intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of
protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is
highly recommended if this service is available.
Inadequatetesting
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind
of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices,
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
Insufficient time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency due to their
inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is remotely monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the
occupants or their belongings.
Motion detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate
between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and
motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floors,
closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or
spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation. Passive infrared
motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises
near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat
sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Power failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a
device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition
and installed correctly. If a device operates only by ACpower, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does
not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such
as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as
intended.
Securityand insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property
owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
- 3 - - 4 -
Smokedetectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The
smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is
in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the
residence or building. Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of
fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape
in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephonelines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the
telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
Warning devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If
warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened.
Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, other appliances, or
passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

5: Connect remote external antennas (optional)
Remote external antennas are available for the module if there is inadequate cellular reception at the preferred
mounting location. Contact DSC technical support for antenna options.
The module has two covered access ports on the top of the enclosure. Remove the plastic tab covering the
desired port and either mount the antenna on the enclosure or use the opening to pass through the antenna cable.
Note:
Due to the curvature of the enclosure, the plastic port covers are NOT interchangeable. Ensure that any
unused ports are covered with their original plastic tab.
Warning
: The external antenna must be installed in a manner to prevent end users from accessing any
conductive part of the anntena or antenna cable (i.e., recessed mounting or equivalent).
6: Power up
Connect panel battery and AC power.
Step 3: Verify installer code to activate Alarm.com module
Alarms and other signals will not be sent to Alarm.com until the installer code is verified. To activate the
account, perform the following steps:
1. Press [*][8] to enter Installer Programming.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Press [#] to exit Installer Programming.
To remotely activate a system that is already signaling, perform the following steps:
1. Go to www.alarm.com/dealer.
2. Go to the customer's account.
3. Select the error message at the top of the page.
4. Enter the installer code.
Step 4: Perform dual-path test (module registration)
To initiate module communication with Alarm.com and the cellular network for the first time, perform a
“Dual-Path phone test”. Note that the test can also be used at any time by the installer to force communication
with Alarm.com. To test the cellular path, press and hold [3] for two seconds. To test the broadband path,
press and hold [4] for two seconds. A Dual-Path test can also be completed through the Interactive Services
menu. To perform the Dual-Path test, press [*][6] followed by the master code and [04]. The panel indicates when the test has completed by activating the siren output on medium volume for 2 seconds
followed by full volume for 2 seconds. However, if the test was initiated via the [3] or [4] key, or through the
Interactive Services menu, the siren will not sound. All display lights and LCD pixels turn on. This indicates
that Alarm.com has received and acknowledged the signal. This does not guarantee that the signal went
through to a central station; it confirms that Alarm.com’s Network Operations Center received the signal. The
central station should be contacted directly to verify that the signal was received on the correct account and
that the central station routing settings have been set up correctly. If the signal does not go through to the
central station, the panel displays a “Failure to Communicate” message. Double check the account’s central
station Forwarding Settings on Alarm.com and contact technical support if the trouble persists.
Step 5: Allow module to auto-program
After a successful dual-path test, wait 2 minutes for the module to automatically program and initialize before
entering the Installer Programming menus. Entering Installer Programming during module initialization will
cancel the process. LCD keypads display a message indicating when auto-programming is occurring and when
it has completed. During the auto-programming session, the module automatically programs panel settings
required for proper functionality with Alarm.com as noted in the “Panel Settings” section.

Error and solution
1
Module cannot communicate with the panel. Ensure section [382] option [5] is ON. Verify panel
software is version 1.1 or higher. Check the connectors (between the panel and communicator) and
powercycle the panel. If the error persists, there may be an issue with the module or panel.
2
The SIM card is missing. The SIM card holder can be found on the module. Verify that the SIM card
holder is closed securely and that there is a SIM card in the holder.
3
The module is trying to register on the LTE network. If it persists for more than a few minutes, the
module is having problems registering with the LTE network. Check L4 for signal level. If signal level
is lower than 2 “bars”, change the panel’s location or use a remote antenna option. If the signal is
good, the module may be roaming on a LTE network that does not partner with our LTE providers, or
the SIM card was not activated yet because the Alarm.com account was not created correctly.

Error and solution
4
The module is registered on the LTE network but cannot connect with Alarm.com. Power down the
module, wait one minute, restore power and perform a communications test. Verify signal strength
and try a different location for the module/antenna. If the problem persists, contact Alarm.com
Technical Support.
5
Radio portion of the module is not working correctly. If this persists for more than a few minutes the
module may need to be replaced. This error is extremely rare so verify that the module is flashing 5
times.
6
This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute. Otherwise, it is just an indication that the
module is fixing an unusual condition regarding communication with the LTE network.
7
The module is not compatible with this panel type. Please insert a compatible module.
8
If it persists, the account may have been set up incorrectly. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.
You will be asked to check the serial number of the module.
LED L2 (yellow)
LED L2 indicates an error on the Broadband path and also flashes with every communication between the
module and the panel when there is no error condition present. Normal pattern calls for a series of quick
flashes every two seconds in Idle mode or four seconds in PowerSave mode.
Number of
flashes
Error and solution
1
Flashes for each communication with the panel, except when LED is displaying a broadband error.
This is normal behavior.
2
The module cannot establish a connection with the router. Verify the physical connection/wiring to
the router. Verify MAC filtering is disabled on the router or add the module’s MAC to the allowed list
of MACs on the router. Verify that DHCP is enabled on the router.
3
The module cannot establish a connection with the internet. Verify other devices on the same
network can connect, that the panel has AC power, and that there are no special firewall or network
management settings running on the router.
4
The module cannot establish communication with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Tech Support.
6
The Alarm.com backend cannot reach module due to an error with the local firewall blocking signals
from reaching the module.
LED L3 (yellow)
L3 flashes with every communication between the module and its radio unit in Idle mode, and with every
communication with Alarm.com in Connected mode. In PowerSave mode, this LED flashes in unison with
LED 2.
LED L4 (green)
L4 indicates the LTE signal level as a number of flashes (0 to 5 bars). The number of bars may not correspond
to the bars shown on your cell phone. A level of 5 bars is obtained only in the strongest signal conditions.
Signal level is updated every ten seconds if it fluctuates, or every 30 seconds if it is fairly stable. If L4 is not
flashing it indicates one of the following states:
l
The module is in PowerSave mode
l
The module just powered up
l
There is no LTE coverage in the area. Alarm.com recommends a steady signal level of 2 or higher for
proper operation of the module
Note:
In Connected Mode, the LED toggles on and off. LED L5 (yellow)

Walking the customer through new user setup on the web
This section describes how to help your customer set up their website account, and only applies to customers on
an interactive service plan with an online account. (Skip this step for customers using the module for wireless
signaling only).
Before the customer can configure their website account, the Alarm.com account for that customer must be
created on the Dealer Site, and the LTE module associated with the account must be installed successfully.
To log in and access their account, the customer can go to www.alarm.com (or custom dealer website address)
to complete the new subscriber setup procedure.
The customer will need the following:
l
The web site login and temporary password included on the Alarm.com Welcome Letter, which is
generated when the account was created by the dealer
l
A list of their system sensors with corresponding zone IDs
l
At least one phone number and e-mail address where notifications can be sent
Note:
At least one sensor must be learned into the panel to complete the new subscriber setup. If not all
sensors and touch screens were learned in before powering up the module, an updated sensor list must be
requested by performing a LTE phone test or requesting an updated equipment list from the Dealer Site. I
