Front of Facepack
The ACC-P2P-LTE is a single-controller, point-to-point LTE module that
provides an IP data connection for computer control.
The module contains a data-only mobile phone, and requires a Hunter
account to operate.
The ACC-COM-LTE is another version of the module that includes a Site Plan,
meaning it can link to other controllers on a site with hardwire or UHF radio
communications. This requires a Hunter Site Plan account.

Plan Ahead for Antenna Mounting
The LTE cell phone, like any other mobile device, depends on the mobile
network for communications. The location of the antenna is the link to the
network.
Verify that LTE coverage exists at the location before installation.
The antenna will not work from inside a steel enclosure. The antenna is
designed to be mounted on the top of the controller, through the provided
mounting hole.
Wall-Mount Installation
1. Turn o the AC controller power.
2. Remove the facepack door frame: Disconnect the facepack door frame
ribbon cable, open and li up the door frame to compress the top hinge,
and tilt out of the lower hinge.
3. Locate the communications compartment cover on the back right side of
the frame.
4. Remove the communications compartment cover (6 screws).

Additional Steps if UHF Radio Is to Be Installed:
(ACC-COM-LTE only)
If the Com module will be used with a RAD3 radio, the radio ribbon cable
should be connected to the Com module now, before installing the
ACC-COM-LTE into its compartment.
• The radio ribbon cable has a rectangular 14-pin connector on one end for
the Com module, and a DB-15 connector on the other end for connection
to the radio. The 14-pin connector only plugs one way, and is keyed to
assist proper orientation. Align the connector and push into place on the
top of the Com module.
• When the Com module is installed in the opening, make sure that the
ribbon cable is visible on the back of the unit, for connection to the RAD3
radio module.

9. Leave sucient slack in the antenna cables to allow the door to open and
close without crimping.
10. Insert the Com module into the opening where the logo cover was with
the display and buttons protruding through the opening. Secure with
screws on each corner.
11. Carefully insert the modular ribbon connector plug from the Com module
into the mating receptacle in the door frame. This connector is keyed and
has slots that must be aligned correctly, so that the connector can only
t one way. The ribbon cable can be extended or shortened slightly by
pushing it back into the com module slot. Press rmly to make sure the
connector is fully seated.
Radio Connections, Additional Steps
• Before installing the radio module, connect the DB-15 connector from the
ribbon cable to the top of the radio and secure with the connector screws
(do not overtighten).
• Connect the radio power cable from the radio to the radio power
connection on the bottom of the Com module.
• Connect the male BNC radio antenna connector to the AIM-BNC before
installing the radio into the radio compartment.
• Install the radio into the radio compartment (see radio installation
instructions for additional information).
• Connect the AIM-BNC to the antenna cable.
Reapply controller power. Verify that the Com module display lights up and
displays characters.
If there is no display:
1. Double-check ribbon cable connection from Com module to facepack
door frame receptacle.
2. Double-check ribbon cable from facepack door frame to controller
cabinet.
Radio Installation, Additional Steps
• If radio communications will be used, connect the RAD3 radio module
cables to the Com module with its ribbon cable and power connector rst.
• Install the Com module into the bracket. Then install the radio on the
APPBRKT2 with supplied hardware.
• Install IMMS-ANT-2 in pedestal lid.
• Route antenna cable from the IMMS-ANT-2 through the hole in the top of
the pedestal frame, down into the controller to the radio location.
• Connect the cable connector to the radio module (be sure to turn the
BNC connector until it locks into place).
• Install the plastic cable guide (P-) with self-tapping screw as shown.
Adjust cable before tightening to ensure there is only enough slack to
allow the lid to open and close, without causing the cable to be pinched.

Plastic Pedestal Installation (requires APPBRKT2 communications
bracket and ANTBRKTPPLID antenna bracket, sold separately)
1. Turn o controller AC power with the AC power switch in the pedestal.
2. Open the facepack frame in the top of the pedestal to expose the
communications module mounting area.
3. Install the Com module into the APPBRKT2 mounting bracket. Secure
the Com module with screws on each of the four corners.
4. Install the APPBRKT2 communications bracket beneath the facepack.
This bracket is designed to hold the Com module and a radio module (if
radio is required). If the controller is already permanently installed, it is
not necessary to screw down the APPBRKT2. Screws are supplied only to
secure the bracket if additional shipping or movement of the controller is
necessary.
5. Carefully cut out the inner wall of the circular recess in the pedestal lid.
Take care not to puncture the external wall beneath it.
6. Install the antenna on to the bracket as shown. Peel the adhesive
covering o the bottom of the antenna, feed the cables through the hole
in the bracket, and press the antenna into place.
7. Use the included screws to mount the bracket so that the antenna
protrudes into the cutout in the lid.
8. Install the cable guides as shown and route antenna wires through them.
9. Route the antenna cables down the hole in the side of the facepack
frame, and connect them to the connectors on the LTE module.
10. Connect the Com module ribbon cable extension to the controller
facepack connection on the underside of the facepack frame. This is
the keyed 14-pin connector, top le, above the main facepack ribbon
connection.
11. Reapply controller power and verify that all devices power up and have
displays. Proceed to Setup and Addressing of the Com module, in the
next section.
