BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This guide provides compliance information for the DualCom Series Universal Alarm Communicator. Read through the
contents of this guide before starting the installation process. It describes the functions along with available installation
options. Information contained in this guide allows you to learn the operation, functionality, and programming features of
the communicator to meet specific applications.
The DualCom Series Universal Alarm Communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path for
commercial fire control panels. This section applies to the following model:
• DualComNF Cellular Communicator with Network/LTE for Commercial Fire

COMMERCIAL FIRE INSTALLATION
CID Dialer Connection
Directly connect both tip and ring terminals from the control panel to the communicator. See Figure 1. This
connection captures Contact ID messages from any fire panel that are based on the SIA communication standard
DC-05-1999.09-DCS. Messages are then formatted into a Serial 3 message and sent to an SCS-1R Receiver or
SCS-VRReceiver.
Communication Failure
The phone line voltage on the second tip and ring will drop when DualComNF is in a communication failure state. This
triggers the host panel to annunciate a communication failure. When communications have restored on DualComNF,
voltage will be restored on the second tip and ring terminal, allowing the host panel to see a restoral on the phone line.

Model 685-R Backbox Installation
For Commercial Fire applications using DualComNF and the included red plastic Model 685-R backbox, mount the
backbox to the wall with the 1” #6 screws included with the fire communicator. Mount the fire communicator to the
backbox with the 1/2” #6 screws. See Figure2. Locate the fire communicator within 20 feet of the control panel and
route all wire in conduit.
Refer to the DualCom Series Programming and Installation Guide (LT-1859) for communication test procedure.
For Remote Station, route supervisory and trouble messages to a separate receiver programmed in Receiver 2. See
Communication in LT-1859 for more information.
