PCS265L-EI04 11/2021
Installation
SIM Card Connection
The PCS265 LTE supports two nano LTE/4G/3G/2G or GSM provider
SIM cards. To install the SIM cards, open the SIM Card tray and insert
card into base, as shown. SIM Card 1 is used as “Primary” and SIM
Card 2 for “Backup”.
Note: SIM Card 2 can only be configured via SMS.
Panel Connections
Connect the PCS265 LTE’s serial out to the serial connector on the
panel.
• For LTE/4G/3G/2G reporting, connect to the Serial port of
the panel.
• For GSM reporting, connect to the EBUS port of the panel.
RS485 Connection
A CVT485 module can be connected onto the control panel’s EBUS in
order to lengthen the distance (up to 300 m. / 1000 ft.) between the
panel and the PCS265 LTE. Refer to the drawing for connections.
External Antenna Connection
Use the ANTK4G LTE external antenna kit for PTCRB installations or
to improve RF reception if your module’s signal strength is weak.
External antenna kits and extension kits are purchased separately.
IP Module Connection
The PCS265 LTE can be connected to an IP Internet Module’s PCS
port. For more information on how to configure this option, please
refer to the IP module’s Installation manual.
Powering-up the PCS265 LTE
Once your hardware connections are completed, the PCS265 LTE
module will begin its power up sequence.
•Power LED will turn solid green
•Status LED will be red and switch to green after approximately 10
seconds
•SIM card 1 LED will slowly flash orange while searching for the
GSM network; once found the LED will be solid orange
If configured for LTE/4G/3G/2G reporting, you will need to configure
network provider information. Refer to the Programming section.
Note: The battery is optional. If a battery is used/installed, do not
allow the battery to deplete and ensure that the battery is replaced
when low.
The battery function is to support power shut down and not to be used
as backup as defined in EN50131-6.
LED Functionality
*When using an e-bus connection, the LED is always orange.
Programming
In order to configure the PCS265 LTE for reporting, you will need to
first configure your SIM cards. Please note that SIM Card 1 can be
configured via panel programming and SIM Card 2 via SMS.

EN Certification
The following statements apply for EN 50131 and EN 50136
certification:
• Mode of operation is pass-through
• PCS265LTE must be installed and connected to an EN approved
Grade 3 control panel
• Monitoring of the transmission network interface (Internet
connection): In case of network/interface failure, the device sends
a trouble message to the control panel which then displays it via
connected keypad(s)
• Information Security is achieved by 256-bit encrypted, supervised
communication (AES validation number 986) which prevents
unauthorized reading or modification of messages
• Substitution Security is achieved by Information Security (as stated
above), physical security (Tamper protection) and by a unique
Serial Number from each device. Messages sent to the receiving
station include the S/N in order to identify the substitution and alert
accordingly
Technical Specifications
Safety Note: This device may operate continuously in temperature of
55°C (131°F) for a maximum period of 7 days.

The following statements apply for EN 50131 and EN 50136
certification:
• Mode of operation is pass-through
• PCS265LTE must be installed and connected to an EN approved
Grade 3 control panel
• Monitoring of the transmission network interface (Internet
connection): In case of network/interface failure, the device sends
a trouble message to the control panel which then displays it via
connected keypad(s)
• Information Security is achieved by 256-bit encrypted, supervised
communication (AES validation number 986) which prevents
unauthorized reading or modification of messages
• Substitution Security is achieved by Information Security (as stated
above), physical security (Tamper protection) and by a unique
Serial Number from each device. Messages sent to the receiving
station include the S/N in order to identify the substitution and alert
accordingly
Technical Specifications
Safety Note: This device may operate continuously in temperature of
55°C (131°F) for a maximum period of 7 days.
