UC240 UltraSync Communicator Installation Guide for 2X-A/2X, KFP-A, and ZP2-A/ZP2 Fire Alarm Control Panels 1
Installation
Scope
This document describes the installation of the UC240 UltraSync Communicator
for Carrier 2X-A/2X, KFP-A, and ZP2-A/ZP2 fire alarm control panels.
Although the UC240 supports multiple interfaces to fire alarm panels, this
document will focus on the hardware interface only – the dial capture and serial
interfaces are not discussed and their use is not recommended at this time.
As the UC240 is not sold in the United Kingdom, information in this document is
not applicable for UK customers.
Note: For all other information on the UC240 UltraSync Communicator, including
interface connections, programming, and technical specifications – refer to the
UC140/UC240 UltraSync Communicator Installation Sheet (P/N 466-5558-EN
REV A or later).
Description
The UC240 UltraSync Communicator is a dual path (IP and SIM 4G/2G mobile
technology) alarm signalling unit for transmitting signals from a customer’s fire
alarm control panel to a central monitoring station via the Carrier UltraSync
secure transmission system.
Once registered with the Carrier UltraSync portal, the UC240 allows notifications
to be sent to:
• Central Monitoring Stations (CMS)
• Email addresses
• Supported mobile apps (IOS and Android)
Figure 1: UC240 Communicator

Installation
Before installation
The UC240 must first be registered with the Carrier UltraSync portal to operate to
send notifications.
UC240 installation location
The UC240 UltraSync Communicator should be installed in a separate enclosure
immediately adjacent to the fire alarm control panel (this is required as there is
no dual path for the power supply to the device).
Note: We recommend using the SMB-DIN2 enclosure to house the UC240
(included with the UC240 in 2010-2-UC240-KIT).
Install the UC240 onto the underside of the SMB-DIN2 lid using the adhesive
strips provided (see Figure 5 on page 4).
The wireless aerial should be mounted outside the SMB-DIN2 enclosure,
entering the enclosure via a gland.
See “Installation examples” on page 4 for example installation figures.
UC240 wiring
Caution: Fire rated cable is recommended for all interface wiring between the
fire alarm control panel and the UC240. Fire rated IP cabling must be used to
connect the UC240 to the local site LAN.
See “Wiring” on page 5 for wiring connection diagrams.
The SMB-DIN2 enclosure should be connected via a mechanical gland to the fire
alarm control panel to provide mechanical protection for the cabling between the
panel and the UC240.
All cables should be fed into the SMB-DIN2 via glands or conduits.
If direct glanding is not possible, interface cables should be enclosed in conduits
to provide mechanical protection.
Once all wiring is completed, secure the lid to the SMB-DIN2 using the screws
provided.

Wiring
EN 54-21 compliant option (2010-2-PIB with fire routing delay)
This option is only compatible with large cabinet control panels with fire routing
and fire protection controls (FB, FB2 models). A 2010-2-PIB Peripherals Interface
Board is required (not supplied).
Figure 8: EN 54-21 compliant option (2010-2-PIB)
Notes:
• The 2010-2-PIB REL1 relay must be set to normally open (NO) – this requires
the relay jumper configuration to be changed from the default switched relay
output setting (see the 2010-2-PIB Peripherals Interface Board Installation
Sheet for more details).
• See Figure 9 on page 6 for interfacing fault input.
• See “Fire routing delay configuration for the 2010-2-PIB” on page 8 for fire
routing delay configuration.

Mapping events
By default the UC240 Communicator reports events as if it is connected to an
intrusion alarm panel. The events received at the central monitoring station
(CMS) shown in the table below must be mapped to the CMS automation
software to indicate Fire Alarm events instead of the default Burglar Alarm events
The Mapping column provides information on the proposed reporting codes to
emulate.
