RE928X Flexible Bus CDMA Communicator
Features
• Connects panels to GSM Network
• Compatible with:
o Honeywell Vista 15P and 20P
o DSC PowerSeries
o UTC NX [Future: Concord]
• Enables:
o Alarm Reporting
o Interactive Control Functions
o Ethernet data reliability
o Z-Wave Communicator included
Key Instructions
• The same unit works for Vista, Power Series, & UTC NX.
• Selectable switch determines panel compatibility.
• DO NOT MOUNT INSIDE METAL CAN – there are radios on the boards that
need to be in free-air to communicate.
• Communicator must be connected to a 12V power supply with battery
backup, such as the control panel's aux power output.
• The communicator should be mounted in a location that will optimize
cellular signal strength. Mount as high in the building as possible.
• RE927X communicates with the Vista 15P/20P via AUI device 2. Enable
AUI 2 in the Vista.
• The RE928X may be used as a backup for the RE920X or RE926X
communicators. Refer to “Using RE928X as a Backup”.
Wiring Instructions
NOTE: Some programming must be done PRIOR to connection
Maximum cable lengths shown in the table below, this assumes the
communicator is the only device attached to the cable. If multiple devices
share the same cable, the maximum cable length must be derated accordingly.

Portal.
2) Using the system’s Installer Code:
a) Disable the Communicator ([380]:[1])
b) Disable the Telephone Line Monitor ([015]:[7])
c) Delete Telephone Numbers (programming section 301-303)
3) Verify Alarm report codes are setup properly for zones that are being used,
1-64 (programming section 320-349). System will report as Burg(130) if
programmed as FF.
4) If using Aux input (PGM2) verify Aux input report codes are setup properly
(programming section 329:4). System will report as Fire (110) if
programmed as FF.
5) All other reports are hardcoded in the gateway and cannot be changed
regardless of what is entered in the programmed location.
6) Format and account number have no effect on reporting.
7) Disarm the system (all partitions)
8) Power down the DSC system.
9) Set RE928X panel selector switch to DSC: DSC CDX HW UTC
10) Connect the DSC Panel and RE928X as shown in the Wiring Instructions
above.
11) Apply power to the DSC system.
12) The DSC control panel will begin automatic configuration. This can take up
to 2 minutes.

Reporting Codes for DSC panels:
The following table shows all events reported when connected to a DSC Panel.
Event
eport Code
AC Fail/Restore
301
Panel Low Battery/Low Battery
Restore
302
Opening/Closing Report
400
Cancel Report
406
Zone Alarm
See below
Automatic Contact ID is not supported. Manually programmed reporting codes
are only supported for alarms on zones 1-64 ([320] – [324]) and for alarms on
the PGM2/Aux input ([329]:[4]). The PGM2/Aux input is reported as zone
number 99.
If Report Codes have not been manually programmed for zone alarms, zone
alarm reporting codes default to:
• Any zone alarm (zones 1-64): Code 1130 (Burglary)
• PGM2/Aux input (zone 99, likely a 2-wire Smoke): Code 1110 (Fire)
Be sure to verify that all codes are being properly reported to the central
station after you have installed the communicator module or modified any
reporting program settings in the DSC installer programming menu.
Caddx NX Programming:
Compatible with all NX series panels
1. Refer to server setup instructions and setup account on the Dealer Portal.
2. Disarm the system (all partitions).
3. Power down the NX system.
4. Set the RE928X panel selector switch to CDX: DSC CDX HW UTC
5. Connect the NX panel and the RE928X as shown in the Wiring Instructions
above.
6. Apply power to the NX system. During this process, the communicator will
program the following settings:
Enable Opening and Closing reports
Set Telephone Line Cut delay to 0 (no TLM)
7. Installation complete.
Important: Do not attempt to enter program mode until the CS and Platform
LEDs have stopped flashing.
Additional Notes for NX installations:
1. Some NX panels limit the number of non-keypad devices they support. Be
sure that the panel you are connecting the communicator to does not have
more than the number of support devices connected.
2. User codes that are added to the system or edited thru the communicator
will have the default or previous partitions enabled. If you desire the users
to have different partitions enabled, you will need to modify the partitions
thru the NX keypad.

Using the RE928X as a Backup
In backup mode, the R 928X will send events to the Central Station server and to
the interactive server, in the event that the Primary communicator is unable to do so.
In Backup Mode, only event reporting is supported.
Configuring E928X Backup Mode
Wire both the RE928X and the primary communicator (RE920X or RE926X)
to the alarm panel's data bus (as indicated in the wiring instructions)
When power is applied to the alarm panel, the R 928X will detect the presence of the
primary communicator within 30 seconds, and enters Backup Mode. If no Primary
Communicator is detected, the R 928X will enter Primary Mode.
NOT : The subscriber account must be configured to use both Primary and
Backup gateways. Refer to the Dealer Portal User Guide for details.
Power LED
The rate the Power LED flashes indicates current operating mode
• Flashing every 1 second = Primary Mode
• Flashing every 3 seconds = Backup Mode
