Honeywell CELL-ANTHB

Note: The Honeywell CELL-ANTHB was formerly known as the Honeywell GSM-ANTHB. The name was updated to reflect its compatibility with the newer Honeywell VISTA LTE Cellular Communicators. The antenna will work with the Honeywell LTE-XA, LTE-XV, LTE-IA, and LTE-IV. When being used with the Resideo LTEM-PA or LTEM-PV, the Resideo ADPT-LTEMP External Antenna Adapter is required.

The Honeywell CELL-ANTHB is an AlarmNet Cellular Antenna used with the various cellular communicators for Honeywell VISTA Systems. It was originally designed for use with the Honeywell VISTA-GSM, but it also works with newer LTE radios. The VISTA-GSM is a snap-on cellular alarm communicator that works with the VISTA-21iP alarm panel. The VISTA-GSM is an optional add on to the VISTA-21iP and provides a backup cellular alarm communication path so that the VISTA-21iP can still communicate with AlarmNet and the central station when the internet connection is unavailable. A CELL-ANTHB is included with all new purchases of a VISTA-GSM.

The CELL-ANTHB is an indoor blade antenna that can be mounted directly on the top of the beige metal alarm cabinet that houses the VISTA-21iP alarm control panel. To install the CELL-ANTHB, you will need to remove the large knockout that is located on the right side of the top edge of the cabinet. You will also need to remove the smaller knockout that is found right next to the larger knockout. With both knockouts removed, you will need to fit the antenna adapter plate into place by positioning the adapter plate’s pin directly over the smaller knockout and then pressing the adapter plate down until it snaps into place. Next, you will need to remove the nut and washer from the antenna adapter plate and then fish the K14207LF MMCX to SMA adapter cable up through the adapter plate’s hole. Secure the K14207LF’s SMA connector to the adapter plate with the nut and washer you previously removed. Finally, you can connect the CELL-ANTHB antenna to the SMA connector. Be careful to properly align the antenna’s connector with the SMA connector before you screw the antenna into place. You should not over tighten the antenna when screwing it into place so just use your fingers to twist it clockwise until it is tight.

While the Honeywell CELL-ANTHB antenna is normally used with the VISTA-GSM, it can also be used with other AlarmNet Cellular Alarm Communicators like the GSMV and iGSMV. The antenna adapter plate is not required when using the CELL-ANTHB with a GSMV or iGSMV. Simply route the SMA adapter cable through the hole in the plastic case of the communicator and screw the antenna down into place until it is secure.

The CELL-ANTHB is not recommended for the GSMVLP, GSMVLP5, GSVMLP5-4G or GSMX cellular alarm communicators because there is no metal cabinet or plastic enclosure for mounting the blade antenna. Also, the CELL-ANTHB is not compatible with the GSMV4G or the GSMX4G as those communicators have a different antenna connection. It only works with communicators that have the appropriate port.
