Paradox PCS265 LTE Installation guide

Installation
SIM Card Connection
The PCS265 LTE supports two standard LTE/4G/3G/2G or GSM
provider SIM cards. To install the SIM cards, open the SIM Card tray
and insert card into slot, as shown. SIM Card 1 is used as “Primary”
and SIM Card 2 for “Backup”.
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.
Antenna Extension Connection
Use an antenna extension kit to improve RF reception if your
module’s signal strength is weak. Antenna 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: Ensure that the PCS265 LTE’s battery is always present and
that the battery is replaced when low; do not allow the battery to
deplete.
LED Functionality
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.
