This equipment 3G4010 is fixed and shall be installed by Service Persons only (Service Person is defined as a person having
the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in
6

performing a task, and of measures available to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). It shall be installed and
used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max 2, over voltages category II,in non-hazardous, indoor loc-
ations only. This manual shall be used with the Installation Manual of the relevant alarm control panel. All instructions specified
within that manual must be observed.
Description
This 3G4010 manages transmissions to a central station and can simulate the landline in the event of trouble (e.g., landline
down) or even substitute the landline completely in areas where the 3G or 2G cellular service is provided and a landline is not
available.
The 3G4010 has the capability of communicating alarm signals via the 3G or 2G data network. This capability ensures a fast,
reliable path to central stations equipped with a Sur-Gard System I-IP / II / III / IV / 5 receiver. By connecting a 3G4010 to a con-
trol panel's standard PSTN interface, telephone-based Contact ID or SIA signals are decoded and seamlessly routed through
the 3G or 2G network to any of the compatible receiver options.
The performance of the 3G4010 depends greatly on cellular network coverage. Therefore, it should not be mounted without
first performing placement tests to determine the best location for reception (minimum of one green LED ON). Optional
antenna kits – GS15/25/50-ANT (15ft/4.6m, 25ft/7.6m or 50ft/15.2m) – are available.
For UL Residential Fire and Burglary installations, the 3G4010 is listed as a sole means of communication or as a back up
when used in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
For UL Commercial Burglary installations, the 3G4010 is listed as a sole means of communication (supervision window of 200s
required at monitoring station) or as a back-up when used in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
The 3G4010 shall be powered from any compatible listed control unit or compatible listed power supply that complies with the
ratings specified on page 1. The power supply shall be listed for burglary applications and provide a minimum of 4 hours
standby power capabilities. An example of a suitable listed compatible control unit is the DSC Model PC1864 with an AUX out-
put rated 11.1 - 12.6VDC. An example of a suitable Listed power supply is DSC Model PC5204 with an AUX output rated 11.6 -
12.6VDC.
For ULC Commercial Fire Monitoring installations the 3G4010 is listed as a passive communication system when used in con-
junction with a POTS line (dialer). Fire alarms shall be sent simultaneously over both communication methods (cellular network
and PSTN).
For ULC Commercial Burglary installations the 3G4010 is listed as a passive communication system with communication line
security level P2 when used as a back up in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
For ULC Residential Fire and Burglary installations the 3G4010 is listed as a sole means communication or as a back up when
used in conjunction with a POTS line (dialer).
Installing the 3G4010
C24 Communications Enrolment
The 3G4010 requires enrolment with C24 Communications to operate. For more information, please visit www.connect24.com,
contact C24 Communications customer service at 1-888-251-7458 (US) / 1-888-955-5583 (Canada) or contact the central sta-
tion to inquire if they are a C24 Communications Master Reseller.
NOTE: Enrollment with C24 Communications should be performed before turning on the 3G4010 unit.
Before inserting or removing the SIM card, please ensure the unit is turned off.
Step 1 - Initialize the 3G4010 with C24 Communications
The 3G4000 can be initialized with C24 Communications by:
VRU - 1-866-910-3865
web - www.connect24.com
mobile - m.connect24.com
To complete enrolment, a C24 profile, installer ID/PIN (or web credentials) and the 20-digit SIM number are required.
NOTE: The SIM activation process with the cellular carrier typically takes between five and ten minutes to complete.
Step 2 - Determine the Best Signal Location
1. Remove the front cover by removing the four cover screws.
2. Apply power (DC and/or battery). The 3G4010 is now in placement test mode.
Step 2a – SIM card is activated.
The red LED will be on solid, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength. In
this state, the 3G4010 is registered to the cellular network.

If the signal strength is too low (bottom signal LED offor flashing), the 3G4010 will move to Step 3 and scan for carriers with suf-
ficient signal strength and attach to the carrier. If the 3G4010 is connected to a carrier with sufficient signal strength (minimum of
bottom signal strength LED on solid), it will move to Step 4.
Step 2b – SIM card is not activated
The red LED will flash, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength.
Red Blue Yellow/Green

FLASHING OFF - -
In this state, the 3G4010 is unable to register to the cellular network because it is inactive. The signal strength indicated is from
any nearby cell tower (including cellular towers belonging to non-roaming partners) and does not necessarily reflect the signal
strength of the intended network. The 3G4010 will remain in this state until the SIM is activated. Once the SIM is activated, the
3G4010 will move to Step 2a.
Step 3 – Carrier Scanning due to insufficient signal strength
The 3G4010 will scan the surrounding cellular network and connect to the carrier to provide a signal strength of at least 7 CSQ.
When this action is being performed, all four LEDs will activate to show a scanning sequence. The LEDs will cycle from top to
bottom and then bottom to top. This cycle will continue until the 3G4010 is connected to a carrier with a signal strength above 7
CSQ (minimu of bottom signal strength LED on solid).

Once this is completed, the 3G4010 will move to Step 4.
Step 4 - Acquire C24 Communications programming
The red LED will be on solid and the blue LED will flash. The flashing of the blue LED indicates that the 3G4010 has requested
programming from C24 Communications and is waiting for a response.

Status LEDs
Operating Modes
The 3G4010 features two distinct operating modes:Normal Mode and Service Mode. The unit will be in Normal Mode when
the cover tamper is in a restored state. If a cover tamper is present, the unit will be in Service Mode.
Normal Mode
The 3G4010 interface has four status LEDs. The following describes the status LEDs when the communicator is in normal oper-
ating mode with the front cover in place.
9

Red
This LED indicates trouble conditions.
On (solid): Trouble Requiring Service
1 Flash: Wireless Network Trouble
2 Flashes: Battery Trouble
3 Flashes: Input Power Trouble
Blue
This LED indicates cellular radio activity. When this LED is on (solid), a phone line trouble condition
exists. This LED turns on when the interface switches to the wireless network (due to a landline trouble
condition). This LED will also flash once when the 3G4010 transmits a signal and twice when the
3G4010 receives a kiss-off from the central station.
NOTE: If the 3G4010 is programmed to be the primary communicator, the blue LED will remain off, but
will still flash during the signal transmission as described above.
Yellow/Green
(Top) This LED indicates signal strength and network technology. If the 3G4010 is operating in over a 2G
channel, the LED will be YELLOW. If the 3G4010 is operating over a 3G channel, the LED will be
GREEN. When this LED is On, the reception is optimal. This LED switches On only when the bottom
LED is on.
Yellow/Green
(Bottom)
This LED indicates signal strength and network technology. If the 3G4010 is operating in over a 2G
channel, the LED will be YELLOW. If the 3G4010 is operating over a 3G channel, the LED will be
GREEN. If this LED is Off and the Red LED is On, the Wireless Network service is unavailable (NO
SERVICE). This LED flashes when the Wireless Network reception is poor. If this LED is on, the
3G4010 is able to communicate with the 3G (HSPA) or 2G (GPRS) network.

Operating Principles
Simulated Landline Mode
The simulated landline provides the alarm control panel (with dialer interface) with a back up line in the event of PSTN line
trouble.
NOTE: The 3G4010 mustbe programmed as a back-up communicator for Simulated Landline Mode to operate.
If the voltage on the landline terminals (TIP/RNG) drops below 2.8V for a period of between 10 seconds and 45 seconds -
depending on the alarm control panel connected to the T1/R1 terminals- the 3G4010 switches the connected telephone device
to the cellular network. After waiting between 30 and 40 seconds, it checks the landline for one of the following:
lIf the landline has been restored, the 3G4010 switches the connected device back to the landline, OR
lIf the landline is still down, the 3G4010 continues the simulation until the landline is restored. The 3G4010 will not switch
during ongoing calls.
NOTE: When the landline is down, the 3G4010 provides a dial tone to any device connected to T1 and R1, including any tele-
phones on the premises. The phones on the premises will not,however, be able to dial out over the 3G4010.
10

Panel Transmission Monitoring (PTM)
The 3G4010 can also monitor the panel’s attempt to communicate with the central station. If it determines that the panel is hav-
ing difficulty, it switches the line to the cellular network. This feature is only active when the 3G4010 is configured as a back up
communicator. This feature is in addition to the regular line voltage detection.
The 3G4010 monitors the phone line for four consecutive failed attempts within a 12-minute window. A failed attempt is
assumed to have occurred when a line seizure takes place during dialing (either the alarm panel or the customer telephone),
but no 1400Hz tone (Contact ID kiss-off) or 2025Hz tone (SIA kiss-off) is sent from the receiver.
Once the conditions for a failed attempt are met, the 3G4010 connects the panel to the cellular network to communicate the
events. When the 3G4010 switches the line it stays in this mode until the panel hangs up. On the next event the 3G4010
restarts the error detection sequence before switching.
The 3G4010 performs this sequence on any phone number that is detected on the line. Specific central station phone numbers
can be programmed into the 3G4010 if desired. Up to four, 20-digit numbers can be added to your profile at Connect 24. If pro-
grammed, the 3G4010 will only look for a Contact ID or SIA kiss-off after these numbers are dialed. A Telephone Line Mon-
itoring trouble (PGM output activation and/or reporting code if applicable) is also activated and/or transmitted when the PTM is
activated. A restoral is sent at the end of the call.
Cellular Communications Sequence
When an alarm is triggered:
lThe control panel goes off-hook.
lThe 3G4010 asserts a dial tone.
lThe Control panel dials the number of the central station. Ensure that the alarm panel inserts a minimum one second
pause, or has Dial Tone Search enabled before dialing the number.
lThe 3G4010 detects the DTMF dialing and stops dial tone.
NOTE: The 3G4010 is unable to decode pulse dialing.
If the panel is programmed for Contact ID format:
lThe 3G4010 sends the required Contact ID dual-tone handshake to the panel.
lAfter receiving the handshake, the control panel transmits an alarm message in Contact ID format.
lThe 3G4010 decodes and transforms the Contact ID digits into an IP packet and sends it to the central station receiver over
the cellular network.
lThe central station receiver acknowledges the alarm and sends a command to the 3G4010 to generate the corresponding
1400Hz Kiss-off signal for a minimum of 800 msec.
After the 3G4010 generates a Kiss-off signal, it sends the nextalarm or, if no further alarmsneed to be sent, the control panel
goes on-hook.
If the panel is programmed for SIA (300 baud) format:
lThe 3G4010 sends the required SIA handshake to the panel.
lAfter receiving the handshake, the control panel transmits an alarm message in the SIA format.
lThe 3G4010 decodes and transforms the SIA eventsinto an IP packet that itsends to the central station receiver over the
cellular network.
lThe central station’s receiver acknowledges the alarm and sends a command to the 3G4010 to generate the cor-
responding 2025Hz kiss-off signal for a minimum of one second.
lAfter the 3G4010 generates a kiss-off signal, it sends the next alarm or, if no further alarms need to be sent, the control
panel goes on hook.
NOTE: The 3G4010 automatically adjusts the order of the handshakes based on the lastformat the control panel used to trans-
mit an event.
Inputs
The 3G4010 has four inputs that can be used to trigger specific communications. These events will transmit using the Contact
ID or SIA format with Inputs 1-4 reporting as [991] to [994] respectively.
Default settings are:
INPUT 1- FIRE INPUT 3 - BURGLARY
INPUT 2 - PANIC ALARM INPUT 4 - SYSTEM TROUBLE
Inputs can be configured as follows:
Normally Open - input will activate when a short condition is detected between the terminal and COM
Normally Closed - input will activate when an open condition is detected between the terminal and COM
Single End of Line - input will activate when a short or open condition is detected between the terminal and COM and will
restore when a 5.6Kohm resistor is detected between the terminal and COM.
NOTE: These inputs are programmable to communicate using either the Contact ID or SIA format
NOTE: For UL/ULC installations, connections between alarm panel outputs and 3G4010 inputs must be run in protective mech-
anical conduits. To reduce interference with the antenna, it is recommended that the metal conduit is not connected to the
knock-outsin the top of the cabinet.
11

Outputs
The 3G4010 has four programmable outputs to activate in response to the associated events. Refer to the 3G4010 Wiring Dia-
gram (Figure 2) at the back of this manual.
Activating the Outputs
The 3G4010 has four open collector outputs capable of a maximum of 50mA. Internal events on the 3G4010 can trigger the
outputsto turn on an LED or activate an input on the hostpanel. The default settings are as follows.
OUTPUT 1 Landline Trouble - Output is normally high and will switch to ground when the telephone line is down.
OUTPUT 2 Cellular Module or Network Trouble - Output is normally high and will switch to ground when the 3G4010 can not
communicate with the 3G or 2G network.
OUTPUT 3 Power Supply or Battery Trouble - Output is normally high and will switch to ground when there is a problem with
the power source.
OUTPUT 4 General Module Trouble - Output is normally low and will switch to high when a Cellular Network Trouble, Power
Supply/Battery Trouble, and/or a Failure to Communicate (FTC) trouble is detected.
NOTE: PGM4 must be connected to the control panel as shown in Figure 4 (Residential applications) or Figures 8-9 (Com-
mercial applications). Program the control panel input Zone/Point as 24hr ‘Supervisory’ with keypad-only notification when
activated. Output 4 on the 3G4010 mustbe set as ‘Active High’.
NOTE: Once an output has been activated automatically, it will not restore its state until all the causes of activation are cleared.

Troubleshooting Guide
Powering up the 3G4010 – when powering up the 3G4010, always connect the battery (if used)first before connecting
primary DC power from the control panel or transformer.
Wiring Primary – R-1/T-1 of 3G4010 to RING/TIP of control panel, DC power from control panel or DC transformer to DC input,
backup battery.
Wiring Backup – Incoming line to RING/TIP on 3G4010, R-1/T-1 of 3G4010 to RING/TIP of control panel, R-1/T-1 of control
panel to house phones, DC power from control panel or DC transformer to DC input, backup battery.
Testing Communications – when the 3G4010 transmits a signal for the control panel, or for an internal transmission, the
BLUE light will flash one time when the signal is transmitted and two times when it gets a kiss-off.
SIM – the SIM should be activated at least 24 hours prior to installation. The 3G4010 will show signal strength with an inactive
SIM, however it will display the signal strength of any available wireless network. The SIM must be active to ensure the signal
strength displayed is that of the wireless network provider for which the SIM belongs to.
Panel Programming – the control panel should be programmed to communicate Contact ID or SIA exactly the same way it
would be programmed to communicate Contact ID or SIA over the telephone line.
