Honeywell CELL-ANT3DB
AlarmNet Remote Weatherproof Cellular Antenna
Description
The Honeywell CELL-ANT3DB is an AlarmNet remote weatherproof cellular antenna with an average gain of 3dB that is compatible with certain AlarmNet cellular alarm monitoring communicators and dual path alarm monitoring communicators. Unlike the AlarmNet CELL-ANT remote indoor antenna, which only allows you to change the point of reception but does not increase the actual cellular signal strength of your AlarmNet cellular alarm monitoring communicator, the CELL-ANT3DB triples the cellular signal strength of your AlarmNet communicator.
Included in this kit:
| Part Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CELL-EXTC | MMCX-M to SMA-F Cable (P/N 600-00494V1) SMA-M to SMA-F Coaxial Adapter (P/N R300-11296) Cable Tie (Qty. 2) (P/N P3171) |
| CELL-EXT | u.FL to SMA Cable (P/N 600-00278) Antenna Cable Removal Tool (P/N 700-03513) |

| Please Note: This kit does not include any coaxial cable, which is required to span the gap between the antenna installation and the communicator. There are kits linked at the bottom of this page that include the necessary coaxial cable if you don't already have it. | |
The CELL-ANT3DB includes the weatherproof 3dB gain outdoor antenna, which has been redesigned to support LTE communicators. Originally, the antenna part number for the antenna was 900-03021, but at some point, this was updated to 900-03137. You can see the difference in the latest Install Guide. It comes with the CELL-EXT coax cable adapter. This is a U.FL to SMA cable adapter for VISTA and Lynx communicators. An RF antenna coax cable which you can purchase in various lengths (5'/25'/50’) to connect the antenna to the cellular alarm communicator is also required. We offer kits that include nearly all the needed cables, including precut and terminated coax cables. You can find links to these kits at the bottom of this description.
Before installing your CELL-ANT3DB, make sure to disconnect all power to the AlarmNet dual path or cellular alarm monitoring communicator. Once power has been disconnected, including the backup battery, you should secure the SMA end of the CELL-EXT (or ADPT-LTEMP or ADPT-LTEMPX, see notes below) to the proper location on the LTE communicator. This should be easy to find because you'll need to disconnect the internal antenna from the communicator before you can connect the external antenna and the antenna you disconnect will have the same type of (SMA) connector. Route the CELL-EXT out of the enclosure for the communicator, making sure you can still properly close the cover. The opposite end of the CELL-EXT will connect to the coax cable, and the other end of the coax cable will connect to the antenna itself. Refer to the antenna's Installation Instructions for full details.
Also required is the WA7626-CA, which allows the CELL-EXT to connect to the coaxial cable. This adapter is included with this product as well as with the kits that are linked below. The kits linked below also include either a 5', 25', or 50' length of coaxial cable. The 7626-5 will allow you to install the CELL-ATN3DB 5’ from your cellular alarm communicator and is included in the CELL3DB5KT. This option is probably not going to provide very much signal gain. If it were, you probably wouldn't need an external antenna to begin with. The 7626-25HC will provide 25’ of extension and the 7626-50HC will provide 50’. The 7626 cable has an N male connector on both ends. One end connects to the WA7626-CA cable and the other end connects to the N female connector on the CELL-ANT3DB. Secure the CELL-ANT3DB weatherproof antenna to your wall or to the outside of your house using the included 7670F mounting bracket. Finally, if you have installed your CELL-ANT3DB antenna outside, use the silicone rubber tape to wrap the N male to female connection making it waterproof.
The AlarmNet CELL-ANT3DB remote weatherproof antenna is compatible with the following LTE communicators: LTE-21V, LTE-HSV, LTE-IA, LTE-IV, LTE-L3A, LTE-L3V, LTE-L57A, LTE-L57V, LTE-XA, LTE-XV, LTEM-XA, LTEM-XV, LYRICLTE-A, and LYRICLTE-V. It is also compatible with the LTEM-PA and LTEM-PV, but requires the ADPT-LTEMP adapter, which is sold separately, and the LTEM-PXA and LTEM-PXV, which require the ADPT-LTEMPX adapter, also sold separately.
The Table Below Outlines Which Parts Are Used With Each LTE Communicator
| LTE Communicator | Cable Used | Compatible Panel/Series |
|---|---|---|
| PROLTE-A PROLTE-V PROLTE-CN |
CELL-EXTCX (P/N 600-00494V1) | PROA7 and PROA7PLUS Series |
| LTE-L57A LTE-L57V |
CELL-EXT (P/N 600-00278) | L5210 L7000 L5210-CN L7000-CN |
| LTE-L3A | CELL-EXT (P/N 600-00278) | L3000 (LynxPLUS) |
| LTE-XA LTE-XV LTE-XC |
CELL-EXT (P/N 600-00278) | VISTA Series Panels |
| LTE-IA LTE-IV LTE-IC |
CELL-EXT (P/N 600-00278) | VISTA Series Panels |
| LTEM-XA LTEM-XV LTEM-XC |
CELL-EXT (P/N 600-00278) | VISTA Series Panels |
NOTE: This antenna is also compatible with many of the older 3G/4G GSM and CDMA cellular communicators, but as those have all been deprecated in anticipation of their respective network sunsets, they are not listed here.
NOTE: You should look at the AlarmNet CELL3DB5KT, CELL3DB25KT, or CELL3DB50KT antenna kits if you don’t already have the coaxial cables needed, as they include everything you will need to connect a CELL-ANT3DB antenna to a compatible AlarmNet cellular communicator. That is, except for the LTEM-PA and LTEM-PV, which require the ADPT-LTEMP Adapter mentioned above, and the LTEM-PXA and LTEM-PXV which require the ADPT-LTEMPX adapter. Both of these adapters are sold separately.
NOTE: This product was formerly known as the GSM-ANT3DB.
