PREPARATION
The A2C-LTEM Cellular Communication
Module can be used in both North American
and international installations. Each module
includes a preregistered Nano SIM card for use
in Hunter controllers only. The card will not
work in other devices.
This SIM card requires a service plan. The
controller setup process will include simple
steps for entering secure billing and payment
information.
If your organization requires you to use a
different plan or account, the Nano SIM card
must be replaced with one supplied by your
organization. You will be required to enter
the Access Point Name (APN) used by your
organization in the controller setup screens.
The original ACC2 Facepack could not support
a cellular module. If the controller detects an
incompatible cell module, a warning message
will appear in the controller display, as shown on
the right. ACC2 Controllers require a facepack
(Feb 2020 or newer).
If the module will be used to connect
the controller to the internet, a Hunter
Centralus™ account is required to
complete final controller configuration
in the software application. Visit
centralus.hunterindustries.com to set up
a free Hunter account in advance, so your
installation can be completed and tested.

INSTALLATION
Turn off the controller power using the power
switch on the bottom of the transformer.
Module Installation
Remove the dust cover, or existing module,
from the bottom rear of the controller facepack.
Push up on the spring-loaded button and pull
downward to remove.
Facepacks prior to May 2022 do not
require the included ribbon cable.
Push up
Slide in the new module until the lock clicks.
SIM Card Replacement
The module includes a tool for Nano SIM card
removal or installation. This tool is normally
used only when changing from the Hunter-
supplied SIM card to a local SIM card.
1. Remove the tool from the receptacle on
the module.
2. Insert it in the SIM card slot. Gently press on
the SIM card with the tool and release. The
SIM card will eject partially. The tool can also
be used to remove the SIM card, if necessary.
3. Before inserting a new SIM card, confirm
that it is correctly oriented as indicated by
the icon on the product. Load the SIM card
into the tool and push it gently into the slot
until it clicks into place.

Antenna Installation
1. Plastic Controllers: Carefully drill a ½"
(13 mm) hole in the top of the plastic wall
mount indicated by the printed circle on top
of the controller. Remove all plastic debris
left behind after drilling.
2. Remove the nut from the antenna assembly.
Route the antenna cable through the hole and
the nut. Apply RTV sealant around the hole,
filling the gap between the enclosure hole and
the mounting threads. Tighten the nut securely.
3. Route the antenna cable through the track
on the back of the doorframe to the module
in the facepack. Leave just enough slack to
allow the door to open and close without
pinching the cable.
4. Connect the cable to the module and tighten
by hand.
Existing Metal Enclosures: The antenna
must be installed outside the controller
enclosure on a metal bracket. Do not drill
the enclosure directly.
These installations require a Hunter model
ANTEXTKIT wall bracket for completion.
The antenna includes approximately 9' (2.8 m)
of cable. Choose a bracket mounting location
that will allow the antenna cable to be routed
through the conduit to the openings in the
bottom of the controller, and then through the
track on the doorframe to the cellular module.
Mount the bracket as high as possible on the
wall with mounting hardware appropriate for
the mounting surface.
