WARNING: INSTALLER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Note to Installers
The Warnings on this page contain vital information. As the only
individual in contact with system users, it is the installer’s responsi-
bility to bring each item in this Warning to the attention of all users of
this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other
types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm
system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to
operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some, but not all, of the
reasons may be:
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent
a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuf-
ficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or
prevent the proper operation of the system.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable
as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the
failure of a component.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which
could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or delib-
erate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effec-
tive at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with crimi-
nal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of
these features. It is important that your security system be reviewed
periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it is
updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protec-
tion expected.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide
several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected
battery life is a function of the device environment, usage, and type.
Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures,
or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery
life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which
identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may
fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep
the system in good operating condition.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide ade-
quate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security
professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered.
Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate
as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building mate-
rials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the
level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and
after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police
department is highly recommended if this service is available.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The com-
plete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-
in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident,
or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles,
alarm indicating devices, and any other operational devices that are
part of the system.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as
intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emergency
due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If
the system is remotely monitored, the response may not occur in time
to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas
as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot dis-
criminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detec-
tors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple
beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed
areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions,
glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional
or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any mate-
rial on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection
system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tem-
perature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambi-
ent temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are
intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection
area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves,
barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other
security devices require an adequate power supply for proper opera-
tion. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries
to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in
good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by
AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device
inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any
length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may
damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a
power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete
system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for
property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for
property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to pre-
vent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert
occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow.
The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or posi-
tioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as
when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of
closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate
of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally
well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires
caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, vio-
lent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materi-
als, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or
arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be cir-
cumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants
to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of ser-
vice or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the
telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means
which may be difficult to detect.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn
people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or
door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the resi-
dence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be
alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with
by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air condi-
tioners, other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices,
however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.

REMOTE PROGRAMMING VIA DLS 5:
NOTE: Before programming, you will require your network’s Public IP Address and Public listening port for incoming DLS 5
connections. You must send an SMS message to the unit, therefore, you must know the phone number assigned to the SIM.
1. Run the DLS 5 software on your computer. If required, download the DLS 5 software from DSC: http://www.dsc.com/
index.php?n=library#self
2. Create an account for the Panel/Communicator, select the Communicator type (e.g., SMS - 3G2055) and enter all relevant informa-
tion under SMS section, including the Communicator’s cellular telephone number.
3. All available Communicator and panel options can be configured in the DLS 5 account. Refer to Panel Installation Guide and Com-
municator Manual for detailed programming information. Also, refer to your DLS 5 manual and Help file.
4. When you have finished programming the account, click Global Download and choose SMS as Connection Type. Click OK.
5. DLS 5 will generate the required text for the SMS message. This message has the Public IP and Port Number of the DLS Server to
allow the Communicator to link up with your computer. Type the SMS message in to your cell phone and send to the Communica-
tor’s cellular phone number. Then Click OK.
6. The SMS message will trigger the unit to establish a connection to your DLS 5 software. New programming of the Communicator
will be downloaded to the unit remotely via cellular or Ethernet/Internet. The actual path for the downloading will be determined by
the Communicator’s communication settings in Section [851][005], Toggle Option [4].
NOTE: You can disable DLS over cellular. Refer to Programming Worksheets Section [006] Toggle Option [7]. If you disable
DLS over cellular, remote programming will not work on the 3G2055 Communicator, regardless of the path set in Programming
Options Section [005] Toggle Option [4].
E NCRYPTION
The Communicator uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station receiver. Each receiver
can independently have encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled, the central station will configure the device to
encrypt communications the next time the Communicator module performs a communication to that receiver.
NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the unit is restarted.

ESTABLISHING ACOMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH THE SCW PANEL.
The Communicator interfaces to the SCW through a keyed 16 pin Ribbon cable. See Table 8 . The key prevents incorrect connec-
tion of the ribbon cable connector to the SCW and Communicator. The pin-out for the Ribbon cable is provided in the Table
below:
Establishing a communication channel between the Communicator and the SCW is critical to ensuring the desired operation of the two
units. The following steps must be completed during the on-site installation. Program the following to ensure that the Communicator
and the panel will work together as intended.
Initial Programming of Communicator and SCW
1. Enter [*][8][Installer Code] [Section Number] for panel programming. Record any values that are modified from their
default, in the appropriate Programming Worksheets.
NOTE: When programming Toggle Options, the toggle is ON when the number is displayed and OFF when the number is not
displayed. (e.g., [1 ---5---],ToggleOptions1and5areON,allothersareOFF).
2. Panel Section [167] Cellular/Ethernet Interface Communications ‘Wait for ACK’: Default value is: 060 seconds.
3. When the communicator is installed with the SCW panel, 4 telephone numbers are available to backup one another. You can set up
these 4 telephone numbers to perform in one of two ways: Backup dialling or Alternate dialling.
a. Backup dialling: each of the 4 telephone numbers will make 5 dialling attempts in turn, before an FTC trouble is dis-
played on the keypad.
b. Alternate dialling: each telephone number makes 1 dialling attempt before moving on to the next number, cycling
through each of the 4 numbers for a total of 5 times each. If all 4 numbers fail the 5 attempts, an FTC trouble is displayed
on the keypad.
4. Panel Sections [301], [302], [303], and [305] can be configured as Primary communication paths.
a. Panel Sections [302], [303], and [305] may also be configured for backup or redundant communications by using Panel
Section(s) [383] or [351] - [376]. Refer to the SCW panel Installation Manual for more information.
b. If a valid telephone number is programmed, communications will use Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Entering a 4 digit hexadecimal value for a telephone number will change the call routing to the Communicator, as deter-
mined by the number programmed:
DCAAF: Internal (All Receivers). Signals will be routed depending on Section [851] [006] programming.
DCDDF: Cellular Receiver 1 (Primary).
DCEEF: Cellular Receiver 2 (Backup).
NOTE: Add a single ‘F’ as a suffix to the 4 digit hex number to populate the unused remainder of the 32 character field.
5. Panel Section [350] : If any of the phone numbers have been programmed as DCAA, DCDD, or DCEE, panel Section [350] must be
set to [04] if SIA format or [03] if Contact ID (CID) format is used by control panel.
6. Panel Section

([
*][8] [installer code] [310] ), will overwrite the communicator account code section ([ *][8] [installer code] [850] [021] ) if pro-
grammed differently.
NOTE: Keep a record of the SIM card telephone number, it is required by users for SMS Command and Control functions. (The
number can be recorded in the Programming Worksheets Section of this document, under Option [996]). Due to the nature of the
SIM card activation process with Cellular network carriers, it can take up to 24 hours for SIM card activation to be complete.
SMS COMMAND AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
SMS Command and Control is available on SCW9055/57 panels. Users can send SMS text messages from their mobile phone to
the cellular phone number assigned to their system. Commands are only accepted from telephone numbers that have been pro-
grammed in Sections [311]-[318]. The system will reject messages sent from telephone numbers that are not on the programmed
list.
When the received SMS text matches a valid Section message, the function is performed on the control panel. Text messages are
not case sensitive and extra spaces are ignored. A User Access Code may be required for some SMS messages.
The User can send just the partition number or the complete label.(e.g., “Away arm Partition 2 1234” is treated the same as “away
arm 2 1234”).
The SMS Message format is in 3 parts: Command, Partition Label (or only the partition number), and Access Code.
If an Access Code is included in the message, it is sent to the control panel for validation, along with the requested function.
If the panel is configured to require an Access Code and the code is not sent (or invalid) the panel will fail the function (unsuc-
cessful).

If the panel fails the function, an SMS response message is sent to the user. The SMS response will echo the command sent, fol-
lowed by the label “unsuccessful”. (e.g., “night arm partition 2 1234 unsuccessful”).
The partition label or partition number may be excluded from the SMS request in a single partition system (e.g., disarm 9123).
NOTE: The communicator cellular phone number can be viewed in Section [851], [996] and/or [851], [229] or by user entering
*6, then scrolling down to ‘SMS Programming” and scrolling down to “Cellular phone No.” [<] [>] “Cellular Phone No.” at the
keypad. An Access Code is required for all SMS commands, except Help.
LABEL PROGRAMMING for SMS MESSAGE
Programmable Labels can be modified using DLS 5 for label programming only, if labels need to be modified. Before initiating remote
programming, record your network’s Public IP Address and port for incoming DLS 5 connections.
1. Run the DLS 5 software on your computer. DLS 5 will connect to the unit, using the Public IP address, and make an Ethernet
connection. If the Ethernet connection fails, DLS 5 will report an error and prompt you to connect using Cellular.
NOTE: If required, download the DLS 5 software from DSC: http://www.dsc.com/index.php?n=library#self.
2. DLS will generate a prompt to enter the public IP and port of the computer with DLS, once this is completed an SMS message will
appear, send this SMS message to the communicator using a cellular device.
NOTE: The communicator phone number can be found in section [995].
3. SMS message will establish a connection to your computer’s DLS 5 software (to change programming labels only).
4. Create an account for the panel/Communicator, select the Communicator type (e.g., SMS - 3G2055) and enter all relevant informa-
tion in
SMS section.
NOTE: The Cellular telephone number will also be required by the user, to send SMS Command and Control messages to their
system.
5. Program the account information, then click Global Download and choose SMS as the Connection Type . Click OK .
6. The download path configured in Programming Section
[005] Toggle Option[4] determines the Cellular or Ethernet path to be used.
COMMUNICATOR PLACEMENT TEST
1. Using the keypad enter the installer mode: * 8 [installer code] [850].
2. View and record the number of bars showing on the SCW LCD.
3. Compare with the number of bars indicated in the “CSQ Levels” column shown in Table 9 .
4. If 3 or more bars are shown, the location is GOOD and no further action is required.
5. If the location is BAD, move the SCW to various suitable locations until 3 or more bars are obtained.
NOTE: The communicator is capable of indicating signal strength even without an active SIM, but signal indication may take up
to 1-2 minutes.
