1.3. System Overview
The CommPact Control System is a full-featured wireless Control System that is expected to
provide a solution to the needs of most residential installations. This system has been developed
based upon a design concept geared towards easy installation and use. With this in mind, the user
interface is based on a simple, menu-driven model that suits the essential requirements of both the
user and engineer alike. You can program the CommPact Control System on-site using the Front
Panel keypad or PC, or off-site via a PC using local programming option of the Remote
Programmer.
The system offers GPRS network connectivity, providing high-speed central station reporting via a
GPRS interface.
The Electronics Line Application Server (ELAS) handles all communication between the system,
service providers and web users enabling monitoring and control to be performed via the Web.
Backup communication is carried out via PSTN or GSM.
Central station communication and remote parameters programming and maintenance employ
GPRS, GSM or standard PSTN communication. SMS messaging provides an innovative method
used for both central station and Follow-Me user monitoring. Additionally, SMS messages can be
sent to the Control System enabling the user to send commands to the system from anywhere on
the planet.
Figure 1-1 shows the components that make up the system and the system’s interaction with
external communication networks for all the available configurations.

mounted in a position where the GSM signal is strong.
•Refer to the following section in order to choose the optimal location for wireless
devices in relation to the Control System.
2.1.1. Wireless Installation Guidelines
n order to optimize wireless communication, consider the following guidelines:
•Whenever possible, mount the Control System centrally in relation to wireless
detectors.
•Avoid installation in close proximity to sources of high noise or radio frequency
interference. For example, metal air conditioner/heater ducts and circuit breaker
boxes.
•Minimize the distance between the Control System and transmitters.
•Minimize the number of obstacles between the Control System and transmitters.
Figure 2-1: Minimizing Obstacles
•Metal based construction materials, such as steel reinforced concrete walls, reduce the
range of radio transmissions.
Figure 2-2: Considering Construction Materials
