Introduction
The Permaconn system provides two-way communication between supervised
premises and the Monitoring Centre. The PM24 is a versatile state of the art
microprocessor based LTE CAT M1 security communicator. This unit can inter-
face with a range of alarm panels using serial or Contact ID.
 The Permaconn PM24 reports Contact ID events on the CAT M1 network.
 The Permaconn PM24 polls according to the registered fault recognition time.
Features of the Permaconn PM24
 Three (3) Outputs
 Contact ID reporting through Alarm Panel Dialler
 High Speed RS232 interface
 Serial interface to Cardax, Concept, Tecom, MCM and Siemens
 Monitors and reports status of alarm panel interface lead
 Non-volatile memory stores all setup information in the event of a power failure
 Single SIM
 Various LED status indicators for easy onsite diagnostics

Atlas Web Platform
Atlas is a secure web portal that enables users to activate and interro-
gate their Permaconn communicators remotely for
diagnostic and control purposes. This portal can be accessed via the
web using any Smartphone, Tablet or PC. We strongly
recommend using this application to verify your install.
Apply online www.permaconn.com
Installation Procedure
 PM24 must be activated using the Atlas ‗App‘ on your Smartphone, PC or Tablet be-
fore applying power. The PM24 will not operate unless it has been activated.
 Place the PM24 housing in the space where you intend to install it. Do not mount the
PM24 yet, as it may need to be moved to obtain a better signal strength
 Screw the antenna onto the SMA connector.
 Connect 13.8V DC to power socket. Power is normally obtained from the Alarm
Panel. If you are using an independent power supply make sure that you have a com-
mon negative.
 ‗HB‘ LED indicates signal strength and if the microprocessor is operating.
Operational + Good Signal = [Green - Blinking]
Operational + Low Signal = [Red - Blinking]
 PM24 can take up to 3 minutes to come online.
 Connection to the cellular network is indicated by the:
―MOBILE‖ LED = [Green - Steady On]
 Alternatively ―Ping‖ the PM24 using your Atlas ‗App‘. Signal strength must be better
than -93dBm for reliable communications.
 If the signal strength is low you need to reposition the unit or install a high gain
antenna.
 A four wire connection is required between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM24.
Option 1: Plug the original alarm panel dialler lead into the 611 socket on the
PM24 to connect the alarm panel.
Option 2: Use a 4 core cable between PM24 and alarm panel dialler terminals.
 ‗R‘ & ‗T‘ as the input and ‗R1‘ & ‗T1‘ as the return line. If the return line is not con-
nected the ‗CID‘ LED = [Red - On] indicating a fault. This lead is also used to monitor
the interconnectivity between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM24.
 The PM24 obtains the Panel ID directly from the Alarm Panel after the first valid con-
tact ID event is sent.
 If a fixed Panel ID is required - inform the Monitoring Centre before activation.

Programming the Alarm Panel
The alarm panel must be programmed with:
 Contact ID
 Tone / DTMF dialling
 Four digit Panel ID number
 8 digit telephone number
 Arm & Disarm reporting must be enabled. (This is required for the Pocket
Secure App)
 Trigger an alarm event or test report from the alarm panel. The panel dialler will
seize the line and send data on ‗R‘ & ‗T‘. The ―CID‖ LED = [Green - Blinking].
 When a valid Contact ID event is sent from the alarm panel the
‗CID‘ LED = [Green - Steady On].
 Ping the PM24 using Atlas to verify status of installation.
Antenna Installation
Antennas can have their performance maximised using a ―Ground Plane‖, any
metal mounting surface will suffice. Please use the supplied ―Ground Plane‖ plate
if you are not mounting this antenna on a metal surface. A significant reduction in
performance occurs if an antenna does not have an adequate ground plane.
 If signal strength is low, a high gain aerial may be required.
The Permaconn Part N# is ‗ANTH3G‘
 Extension cables for the high gain aerial are available
Length in Meters Part N#
3 EXT3
5 EXT5
10 EXT10
NB: Do not exceed 10 meters.

PM24 - Powered from Alarm Panel
Defaulting the PM24
Apply DC power and depress reset button for:
 Three (3) seconds to reset CAT M1 settings.
 Green LEDs will all flash Green together to confirm successful default.

Outputs
There are three (3) outputs available.
 Outputs are ‗Open Collector‘ @50mA switching 12vDC negative—for
heavier loads a relay must be used.
 Ensure there is a common negative between the PM24 and the device
being switch.
 The outputs can be opened, closed or pulsed using the Atlas web portal
 The output can only be pulsed when using the Pocket Secure App.
 Refer to the technical addendums for detail keyswitch information.

Google Play and Windows store
Inputs
 There are three (3) inputs on the PM24
 Inputs are programmed as 24hour Instant Zone types.
 Inputs are sealed with a 3k3resistor if used.
NB: Do not seal inputs if not in use.

Serial Interface
‗Serial‘ MUST be selected on activation otherwise it will not operate.
The PM24 comes standard with Securitel / serial interfaces to suit:
 Tecom
 MCM Icon
 C & K ( Sierra STU )
 Siemens
 Cardax / Gallagher (IFM-CDX required)
 Concept (10K resistor must be fitted between +12v and Rx)
Serial LED [Green - Blink] to indicate successful Securitel or serial interface.
Wiring Diagram for Serial Connection Additional Wiring for Concept STU Connection
Transmission Delay Times
 Messages originating from the Alarm Panel are forwarded immediately.
 Alarm Panel ‗Dialler Interface Lead Fail‘ is sent if not restored within 90 seconds.
 Arm / Disarm reporting may occur at the end of exit delay (Pocket Secure).
