The Skyroute transceiver offers a new wireless communication

method for the transmission of event information using the

*CellemetryTM service. Events are transmitted from the Skyroute

transceiver via the Cellemetry network to the clearing house

and then to the central station in a fast, reliable manner. The

Skyroute receiver has been designed for simple and straightfor-

ward installation. Using KeybusTM technology, wiring connec-

tions are made directly between Skyroute module and the

security control panel.

Section 3 - How Does It Work?

3.1 Cellemetry Communication

The Skyroute transceiver communicates using the control channel

of the existing cellular network. Signals are routed to the Cellemetry

Gateway via the SS7 cellular network. A clearing house then

receives the signals and forwards the events to the central station.

Upon receiving an acknowledgement signal from the central

station, the clearing house then returns a confirmation of delivery

signal to the Skyroute transceiver over the network. For transmis-

sion sequence see drawing below:

• The Skyroute transceiver reads the system activity directly

from the Keybus. It also sends the corresponding signals

over the cellular network, depending on what you have

programmed the Skyroute transceiver to send.

• The Skyroute transceiver cannot be programmed as a land

line backup communicator. It will transmit all signals to the

central station in parallel with the land line communicator.

• The Skyroute transceiver can be reprogrammed for full or

generic reporting (see Sections 6.1 and 7.1 ‘Defaulting’).

• The Skyroute transceiver does not consider the signal to be

received at the central station until it receives confirmation

from the clearing house. Relay between signals can be up

to 60 seconds apart.

3.2 Skyroute Reporting Methods

Reporting via Skyroute is in addition to landline communica-

tions. Land line communications are unaffected by which

reporting method the Skyroute is using. A default of the

Skyroute must be performed before activation (Enter 00, 11

or 22 in sub-section [99] ‘Software Defaulting of the

Skyroute’). This is necessary to configure the Skyroute for

one of the three possible reporting methods:

1.‘Full Reporting’ (Enter 00 in sub-section [99])

2.‘Generic Reporting’ (Enter 22 in sub-section [99])

3.‘Generic Reporting will fallback to Full Reporting’(Enter 22

in sub-section [99)

Other important things to note:

• For an event to report via the Skyroute, the event reporting

code in sections [30]-[79] must be programmed as [FF]

and the associated ‘Transmission Option’ (in section [22])

must be enabled.

• To disable a specific event from reporting via the Skyroute,

program the reporting code as [00].

• To disable a group of reporting codes from reporting via

the Skyroute, turn OFF the respective ‘Transmisison Option’

in section [22].

3.2.1 Full Reporting

(Enter 00 in sub-section [99])

All events in sections [30]-[79] are automatically programmed

as [FF] and will be sent by the Skyroute. To disable a specific

event from sending via the Skyroute, program the reporting

code as [00]. To disable a group of reporting codes from

sending via the Skyroute, Turn OFF the respective

‘Transmisison Option’ in section [22].

When using ‘Full Reporting’ it is very important to understand

that when multiple signals need to be sent, there is approxi-

mately a one-minute delay between each signal sent via the

Skyroute. Because of this delay, the Skyroute will buffer

signals when multiple events occur and transmit them in the

order received.

For example; if you need to send 4 signals (I.e. alarm zone 1,

alarm restore zone 1, alarm zone 2, alarm restore zone 2), it

will take approximately 3 minutes for the Skyroute to send all

4 signals. The first signal sends immediately, then the re-

maining three signals are each sent approximately 1 minute

apart in the order that they occurred.

When using Full Reporting, the central station will receive the

same signal from the panel via landline communications and

from the panel via Skyroute Communications. This is why it

is important to contact your central station regarding dual

signal communication. The automation system at the central

station must be able to suppress redundant signals.

3.2.2 Generic Reporting

(Enter 22 sub-section [99])

Generic Reporting is used to avoid duplicate alarm signals

from being received at the central station. It also avoids the

large delays between landline signals and Skyroute signals

that occur when multiple events of the same type happen

within a short time period. (Both of which occur when using

‘Full Reporting’).

Generic reporting only applies to certain types of alarm

events. These events are grouped together into one of 4

categories. Each category has a specific alarm reporting

code. When one of these alarms occur, the Skyroute will send

the associated alarm reporting code for the category the

alarm belongs to – and then start a timer for that category (5

minutes at default programmed in section [21]). If another

alarm occurs in the same category while its timer is active,

then no signal is generated via the Skyroute for that category.

If an alarm occurs in a different category, then the Skyroute

will send the associated alarm reporting code for that cat-

egory – and then start a timer for that category (5 minutes at

default – programmed in section [21]). Each category has it’s

own timer. If a new alarm event occurs after the timer has

expired for its category, the sequence restarts. All events

that are not included in one of the 4 categories (noted below)

will be fully transmitted by the Skyroute (if the associated

reporting codes are programmed and ‘Transmission Op-

tions’ are ON).

While in Generic Mode, the panel will group the following

alarm events together as follows:

• Burglary: Delay 1, Delay 2, Instant, Interior, Interior Stay/

Away, Delay Stay/Away, 24 Hour Burglary, 24 Hour Latching

Tamper, Momentary Keyswitch Arm, Maintained Keyswitch

Arm, Links Answer

• Fire: Delayed Fire, Standard Fire, Delayed Fire (wireless),

3.2.3 Generic Reporting with Fallback to Full

Reporting

(Enter 11 in sub-section [99])

Normally, the Skyroute will use ‘Generic Reporting’ (de-

scribed earlier). At any time if the Skyroute receives either a

FTC (Failure to Communicate) or a TLM (Telephone Line

Monitor) trouble from the main panel via the Keybus, the

Skyroute will switch into ‘Full Reporting’ and send alarm

signals as outlined above in ‘Full Reporting’ (Note: When

using ‘Generic Reporting with Fallback to Full Reporting’ and

the Skyroute switches to ‘Full Reporting’ upon receiving and

‘FTC’ or ‘TLM’ from the panel, the Skyroute will transmit the

alarm signals with the specific zone numbers without

restorals).

When the Skyroute switches into ‘Full Reporting’, the FTC or

TLM trouble will be the first signal sent by the Skyroute. For

the Skyroute to switch back into ‘Generic Reporting’, the TLM

or FTC trouble must restore and a signal must be received by

the Skyroute from the main panel via the Keybus.

Upon restoral of the TLM or FTC Trouble, any signals that

occurred before the TLM or FTC trouble restored that still

need to be transmitted will be sent via the Skyroute until the

Skyroute’s communications buffer is empty. In addition, if

new alarms occur after switching back to ‘Generic Reporting’

while full reporting events are still in the Skyroute’s commu-

nication buffer, the Skyroute will generate the generic signal,

place it at the end of the communication buffer and function

as outlined above for ‘Generic Reporting’.

5 .1 Location of the Skyroute Unit

It is very important to determine the best location for maximum signal strength.

Verify signal strength prior to installation!

1:Normal (activated) The radio is operating normally and

there are no troubles with the Skyroute.

2:Radio not Responding Possible causes; the radio in the

Skyroute is not powered up, the initialization of cellemetry

radio has failed, an internal problem with the radio, bad data

connections between the radio and the panel.

3:Failed self-test A self-test of the cellemetry module has

failed.

4:No cell network The cellemetry modem has failed to

or very weak signal).

5:Failure to communicate The Skyroute has not successfully

communicated a signal to the central station (the Skyroute

has not received the acknowledgement that the central

station successfully received a signal).

6:Ready to Activate The Skyrotue has not been activated

with Connect 24.

• If there is a Skyroute trouble, the panel it is connected to

will display a ‘General System Supervisory’ trouble.

• If the [TAM] to [COM] terminals are open on the Skyroute,

the panel it is connected to will display a ‘General System

Tamper’ trouble.

5.2 Relocating the Skyroute Transceiver

Since the Skyroute transceiver is a Keybus accessory, it is

possible to relocate the module up to 1000 feet from the

main control panel when the panel is not located in a good

Cellemetry coverage area (a control panel installed in a

vault for example). When relocating the module, follow

theses rules:

• Maximum of 1000 feet from the main control. Keybus

(Red, Black, Yellow, Green) from the panel to the Skyroute

transceiver.

• A UL1481 Listed power supply [email protected] must be used

for UL installations.

• The power supply (+ positive) is connected to the Skyroute

transceiver (BELL IN) terminal and the power supply

(–negative) to the Skyroute transceiver (COM) terminal.

• The cabinet must be installed in a secure location and

should have a tamper circuit connected to the Skyroute

(TAM and COM) terminals.

5.3 Relocating the Antenna

If a suitable location is not available for proper Cellemetry

coverage, obtain an Antenna Extension Bracket Kit from your

DSC supplier. Each kit contains an extension cable, a mount-

ing bracket, instructions, and all required hardware. Three

lengths of extension cable are available:

Extension Kit Length of cable

LAE-3 3 feet (0.91 m)

LAE-15 15 feet (4.57 m)

LAE-25 25 feet (7.62 m)

Only use the Extension Kits to extend the mounting range of

the antenna. Do not cut or splice the extension cable. The

maximum distance between the Skyroute transceiver and the

antenna is 25 feet (7.62 m) as obtained by using the LAE-25

Extension Kit. Make sure the antenna is in a physically secured

location to avoid tampering.

Secure the TNC connector from the Extension Kit to the

mounting bracket, ensuring that the star washers make solid

electrical contact with the mounting bracket.

Remove the antenna from the Skyroute module and connect

the extension cable to the TNC connector on the module.

Secure the antenna to the TNC connector mounted on the

Extension Kit mounting bracket. Locate the mounting bracket

and antenna away from possible sources of electrical interfer-

ence. Moving the antenna just a short distance will likely be

adequate. Temporarily secure the mounting bracket in the

new location and proceed with testing. If the test is success-

ful, permanently secure the mounting bracket and antenna at

the new location.

An extra power supply can be used to power the modem if

it is not located near the main control panel or is located

where the system cannot provide enough power for the

transmissions. Connect the positive of the power supply to

the BELL IN and the negative to the COM to ensure proper

grounding (see diagram on this page).

5.10 Bell OUT Terminal

This terminal is used to power the siren or any other devices

that would usually connect to the control panel BELL+

terminal. This output is powered through the 5A fuse for

protection of the radio transmitting power.

5.11 Tamper Terminal

Connect TAM and COM to a normally closed switch that will

be used to monitor tamper. If no tamper switch is desired

place a wire between TAM and COM.

5.12 Secure Installation

For a secure installation, the Skyroute transceiver and its host

panel must be locked and protected. An instant trip IR sensor

would be the most appropriate for supervision of the panel. A

cabinet tamper switch connected to the TAM terminal of the

Skyroute transceiver is also suggested.

It is mandatory that the power be removed from the system

before any wiring changes are performed on the Skyroute

module. Neglecting to do so will result in damage to the

Skyroute transceiver.

5.6 Mounting the Skyroute Transceiver

The Skyroute transceiver can be mounted in the upper right

hand corner of the panel’s cabinet through the knockout. The

Skyroute transceiver case attaches to the panel’s cabinet

through the use of clips and two screws.

The antenna attaches to the TNC connector of the Skyroute

transceiver. The antenna should be mounted as high above

ground level as possible while at the same time care should

be taken not to place the antenna under a radio frequency

shield of any kind. For example, do not mount the antenna

directly below a metal roofing overhang. The Skyroute trans-

ceiver functions best when installed in an unobstructed line

of sight to the cellular antenna site.

5.8 Keybus Connection

The Skyroute transmitter has 4 terminals marked red, black,

yellow and green. Connect these four terminals to the 4

terminals on the main control panel marked Keybus (red,

black, yellow and green).
