BASIC INFORMATION
The Smart Connector LX30B-QxT communicator is a modern device
enabling data transmission to the monitoring station in a mobile network
(GSM/LTE) in real time. The communicator is designed in such a way that it can be
connected to the control panel, both using a telephone line and a keypad bus
(Smart Communicator function).
In addition, a distinguishing feature of the LX Connected series are the fully
programmable connectors at the configuration stage, where the installer can
define whether the connector is to behave as an input or as an output using the
program "EBS Config 2.0".
With this solution, an ordinary wired alarm control panel equipped with the
Smart Connector can gain the following features:
•wireless data transmission to the monitoring station and
•the possibility of remote control of the arming.
In order to manage the weapon status, the EBS Security mobile application must
be downloaded from Google Play or App Store.
The connection to the monitoring station makes it possible to transmit data
from the alarm control panel via Contact ID (DTMF) or SIA.
With a telephone line, the LX30B-QxT communicator works with all the most
popular alarm systems.
In case of using a keyboard bus (keypad bus connection), EBS tested the
operation with control panels of the following companies:
•DSC
•Paradox
•Honeywell
A detailed list of the tested models can be found in chapter 1.1 LIST OF
COMPATIBLE CONTROL PANELS.
The use of packet data transmission allows to reduce the costs of alarm
system operation. It is also possible to send text messages to private mobile
phone numbers.
Data transmission security was ensured using modern encryption methods.
256-bit encryption keys and the AES method (Advanced Encryption Standard)were
used. For this reason, receiving such a transmission is possible with the use of the
OSM.Server monitoring system receiver.
The transmitters can be programmed:
olocally with the use of a computer and a dedicated program ‘GPRS transmitter
configurator’
oremotely –via GPRS / LTE link
–via SMS commands,

3. ASSEMBLY AND WIRING
Switch power off to perform any connection.
3.1. CONNECTING LX30B-QxT
Fig. 1. PCB Communicator board.
Wire connections should be done carefully to avoid short circuits or breaks in the
circuits. Connection points should be protected from the atmospheric conditions.
Use the figure above to connect the transmitter terminals with the following
connections:
Terminal
Description of connectors
+12V
Positive 12-14VDC supply pole
GND
Negative supply pole. Device ground. Common terminal
for inputs and outputs.
ACM
Control connector for monitoring the AC power supply to
an external control panel. If this connector is connected
to the control panel AC connector, the communicator can
verify the presence of power in the control panel.
I/O 1 –I/O 8
Role configurable connectors where the installer, using
the "EBS Config 2.0" program, can define whether the
connector is to behave as an input or as an output. If
configured as an input, the connector behaves as a
typical signal input. If configured as an output, the
connector behaves as a typical OC output.

LX30B-QxT_Manual_EN-v1.4 Page 10 / 57
T1 –R1
Connections for connecting a telephone communicator of
the alarm control panel.
TIP –RING
Connectors for connecting another transmitter (e.g.
working in another GSM network).
EARTH
Earthing.
A, B
Connectors not used (for future use).
DAT, CLK
Connections for connecting the alarm control panel.
Length of the wires connecting between the transmitter and control
panel must not exceed 3m.
The connectors configured as Outputs are OC type. Do not connect the
output directly to a positive voltage relative to the ground. Do not apply
a voltage higher than 12V. The maximum current that can be controlled,
should not be greater than 100mA.
Don’t connect power supply when GSM antenna isn’t connected, because
it can cause permanent damage of GSM modem.
3.2. CONNECTING THE COMMUNICATOR TO DSC CONTROL
PANELS
Fig. 4. Connection of Smart Connector LX30B-QxT to DSC control panels.
+12V —RED or +AUX
(if the control panel model
does not have a RED
connector, connect to +AUX)
GND —BLK or -AUX (if
the control panel does not
have a BLK connection,
connect to -AUX)
Rx_DAT —GRN
Tx_CK —YEL
