LTE Universal Wireless Fire Communicator Description:

Introducing the new LTE Universal Wireless Fire Communicator. Due to rapidly-evolving cellular technologies, 2G/3G network sunsets are already on the horizon – with some having already been completed. Now’s the time to adopt and adapt. Switch to LTE today, to offer customers long-lasting investment protection, and reduce your future truck rolls. Additionally, the Communicator connects the alarm control panel to the Cellular network. Once connected it reports alarm signals directly to a monitoring station receiver. In addition, it uses the Cellular network to ensure low-cost, high-speed and reliable alarm communications. This is compatible with control panels that communicate using the Contact ID or SIA (300 baud) format.

Additional Information:

The Communicator is compliant with the latest requirements for Communications Methods as per UL and NFP 2010, 2013, and 2016 editions. Furthermore, works in Fire Monitoring applications as a single communications technology, in which case any failure of the communications path shall be annunciated at the supervising station within 5 minutes of the failure, or its useful as part of a multiple communications technologies (for example in conjunction with a DACT).

How it Works

The Communicator can be used as either a Sole Communicator or as a Backup Communicator. When used as a Sole Communicator the Communicator will replace the phone line connection on the panel. As soon as it detects that an alarm needs to be transmitted it will send the alarm across the Cellular network immediately. When used as a backup the communicator assesses the connection to the PSTN phone line. While only in the event of a phone line failure it will send all alarm traffic across the network to the monitoring station.

In instances where the control panel does not support Contact ID or SIA (300 baud). Furthermore, it has inputs preset to transmit fire alarm, fire supervisory or system trouble. Alarm signals transmit directly without the need of a clearinghouse to the IP line card of the monitoring station receiver.
