The following is a description of various terms used with
regards to cellemetry technology.
Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
The ESN is used to carry data information in a Cellemetry
Network
Mobile Identification Number (MIN)
A 10 digit decimal number used for registrations and pages.
Page
A transmission that is sent from the Cellemetry Gateway to
the Cellemetry radio.
Registration
A transmission that is sent from the Cellemetry radio to the
Cellemetry Gateway.

Identification of the Cellemetry Provider.
Switch Number (SNO)
Switch number the Cellemetry radio uses to transmit pages
to the Cellemetry gateway.
Clearing House
The clearing house is a routing center that automatically
forwards data between Skyroute max transmitters and cen-
tral stations.
Section 2 - What’s New on Version 2.1
2.1 Generic Reporting Method
2.1.1 Description
A system default must be performed before activation.
This is necessary to configure the communication format.
The unit can be set to Full Reporting or Generic Reporting.
This is to be used on systems that have a telephone line as
the primary means of communication and Skyroute
max as
a redundant. This option is not meant to make the Skyroute
max a backup unit, but to avoid duplicate signals and large
delays between signals at the central station.
2.1.2 Normal Alarm condition
(Enter 22 in Section 8.2, sub-section [099] ‘Software
Defaulting of the Skyroute max ’)
General reporting will send a generic alarm signal to the
central station via the Cellemetry network when a zone or
keypad alarm occurs. If multiple zones are activated, the first
of each type will trigger the unit to transmit the generic signal.
Once the Skyroute
max has transmitted the generic signal it
ignores all other zone or keypad alarms of the on the system
for a programmable period. Any zone alarms of the type that
trigger the general transmission during the period the timer
is active will be ignored by the Skyroute
max unit. After the
timer has elapsed the unit will then resume standard opera-
tion. If a new zone alarm occurs after the timer has expired,
the sequence restarts.
All other events will be transmitted via the unit if the appro-
priate toggle options or the reporting code are on (subsec-
tions [030] to [047].

Section 3 - What is it?
3.1 Introducing the Skyroute
maxmax
maxmax
max Transceiver
The Skyroute max transceiver offers a new wireless communica-
tion method for the transmission of event information using the
Cellemetry service. Events are transmitted from the Skyroute
max transceiver via the Cellemetry network to the clearing house
and then to the central station in a fast, reliable manner. Skyroute
max has been designed for simple and straightforward installa-
tion. Using the Combus technology, wiring connections are
made directly between Skyroute
max and the security control
panel.

Section 4 - How does it work?
4.1 Cellemetry Communication
The Skyroute max transceiver communicates using the control
channel of the existing cellular network. Signals are routed to the
Cellemetry gateway via the SS7 cellular network. A clearing house
then receives the signals and forwards the events to the central
station. Upon receiving an acknowledgement signal from the
central station, the clearing house then returns a confirmation of
delivery signal to the Skyroute
max transceiver over the network.
For transmission sequence see drawing below:
• The Skyroute
max reads the system activity directly from
the Combus. It also sends the corresponding signals
over the cellular network, depending on what you have
the Skyroute
max programmed to send.
• The Skyroute
max cannot be programmed as a land line
backup communicator. It will transmit all signals to the
central station in parallel with the land line
communicator.
• Skyroute
max can be reprogrammed for full or generic
reporting (see Section 7.1 Defaulting).
• The Skyroute
max does not consider the signal to be
received at the central station until it receives
confirmation from the clearing house. Relay between
signals can be up to 60 seconds apart.

It is very important to determine the best location for maximum signal strength.
Verify signal strength prior to installation!
6.2 Relocating the Skyroute
maxmax
maxmax
max Transceiver
Since the Skyroute max transceiver is a Combus accessory,
it is possible to relocate the module up to 1000 feet from
the main control panel when the panel is not located in a
good cellemetry coverage area (a control panel installed in
a vault for example). When relocating the module, follow
theses rules:
• Maximum of 1000 feet from the main control. Combus
(Red, Black, Yellow, Green) from the panel to the
Skyroute
max transceiver.
• A UL1481 Listed power supply [email protected] (PS4350)
must be used for UL installations.
• The power supply (+ positive) is connected to the Skyroute
max transceiver (BELL IN) terminal and the power supply
(–negative) to the Skyroute
max transceiver (COM)
terminal.
• The cabinet must be installed in a secure location and
should have a tamper circuit connected to the Skyroute
max (TAM and COM) terminals.
6.3 Relocating the Antenna
If a suitable location is not available for proper Cellemetry
coverage, obtain an Antenna Extension Bracket Kit from your
DSC/Sur-Gard supplier. Each kit contains an extension cable,
a mounting bracket, instructions, and all required hardware.
Three lengths of extension cable are available:
Extension Kit Length of cable
LAE-3 3 feet (0.91 m)
LAE-15 15 feet (4.57 m)
LAE-25 25 feet (7.62 m)
Only use the Extension Kits to extend the mounting range of
the antenna. Do not cut or splice the extension cable. The
maximum distance between the Skyroute
max transceiver and
the antenna is 25 feet (7.62 m) as obtained by using the LAE-25
Extension Kit. Make sure the antenna is in a physically secured
location to avoid tampering.
Secure the TNC connector from the Extension Kit to the
mounting bracket, ensuring that the star washers make solid
electrical contact with the mounting bracket.
Remove the antenna from the Skyroute
max module and
connect the extension cable to the TNC connector on the
module. Secure the antenna to the TNC connector mounted
on the Extension Kit mounting bracket. Locate the mounting
bracket and antenna away from possible sources of electrical
interference. Moving the antenna just a short distance will
likely be adequate. Temporarily secure the mounting bracket
in the new location and proceed with testing. If the test is
successful, permanently secure the mounting bracket and
antenna at the new location.

panel. No other wire should be connected to the Bell+ of
the control panel.
An extra power supply can be used to power the modem if
it is not located near the main control panel or where the
system cannot provide enough power for the transmissions.
Connect the positive of the power supply to the BELL IN and
the negative to the COM to ensure proper grounding.
6.10 Bell OUT Terminal
This terminal is used to power the siren or any other devices
that would usually connect to the control panel BELL+
terminal. This output is powered through the 5A fuse for
protection of the radio transmitting power.
6.11 Tamper Terminal
Connect TAM and COM to a normally closed switch that will
be used to monitor tamper. If no tamper switch is desired
place a wire between TAM and COM.
6.12 Secure Installation
For a secure installation, the Skyroute max transceiver and its
host panel must be locked and protected. An instant trip IR
sensor would be the most appropriate for supervision of the
panel. A cabinet tamper switch connected to the TAM terminal
of the Skyroute
max transceiver is also suggested.

max Transceiver
Before activating the Skyroute max transceiver, ensure that the
control panel is wired, programmed and operating properly.
Make sure that the Skyroute max transmitter is properly
connected to the Combus and to the bell (+ positive) circuit.
When power is applied to the system, the Skyroute
max will
perform self-diagnostics for a few seconds, before giving visual
feedback by indicating signal strength on LED1, LED2 or LED3.
7.3.2 Calling Connect 24
Once the Skyroute max transceiver is indicating the signal
strength of the network, and the status indicator (LED5) is
blinking 6 times (not connected to the clearing house), you
are ready to call Connect 24 Voice Response Unit. Follow the
voice prompt and when asked to perform a test, press SW1
on the Skyroute
max transceiver to transmit a test signal.
When transmitting, LED4 blinks once. If the test is successful,
the VRU will give you a confirmation and LED5 will then blink
steady every second. Refer to the Connect 24 information
package for more information on the activation process.

Section 9 - Testing
Testing your control to the Central Station
Be sure to perform normal tests with your central station via the
land line.
There is a 1-minute delay between each signal sent by the
Skyroute
max transmitter.
For example: If you trip 3 zones and you have the Skyroute
max
mode programmed to send the alarm and restoral reporting
codes for each zone (6 signals in total), it will take about 5
minutes for all the signals to go through. The first signal goes
through immediately. There will be a 1-minute delay before the
second signal is sent and another 1-minute delay before the
third signal is sent, etc.

Section 10 - Troubleshooting
Problem: • LED5 is blinking 2 times - Radio is not powered
Solution: • Make sure that BELL(+) on the panel is connected to BELL IN on the Skyroute max
module.
• Perform a default on the Skyroute
max module.
Problem: • LED5 is blinking 4 times - No service
Solution: • Relocate either the Skyroute max transmitter or the antenna to a different location on the
premise. Higher or closer to a window usually improves the signal strength.
• Remove the Skyroute
max transmitter from any environmental interference such as AC
power lines or large pieces of metal duct work, water heater, electrical box, etc.
Problem: • LED5 is blinking 5 times -
Failure to communicate
Solution: • This trouble means that the Skyroute max transceiver was not acknowledged from the
central station. To clear this trouble, perform a reset: [*8] [Installer’s code] [00] [18] [099]
[FF]. To prevent this trouble in the future, make sure your signal strength is good.
Problem: • LED5 is blinking 6 times -
Skyroute max transceiver is not activated with Connect 24
Solution: • Activate the Skyroute max transceiver with Connect 24. Please have your information ready
when you call the VRU. If you do not have these numbers, please call 888-251-7458 (US)
or 888-955-5583 (Canada).
Problem: • LED5 is blinking 8 times -
Skyroute max is not enrolled with PC4020
Solution: • Enter programming mode. Go to Add/Edit Modules, select Alternate Communicator. Create
a tamper on Skyroute
max . Exit programming.
Problem: • Skyroute max unit displays poor signal strength.
Solution: • Relocate either the Skyroute
max transmitter or the antenna to a different location on the
premise. Higher or closer to a window usually improves the signal strength.
• Remove the Skyroute
max transmitter from any environmental interference such as AC
power lines or large pieces of metal duct work, water heater, electrical box, etc.
Problem: • Skyroute
max transmitter unit has good signal strength but it is not transmitting the signals.
Solution: • Make sure that the Skyroute
max transmitter is programmed for a proper channel (A or B).
Correct channel for your area can be obtained from the SID list provided by Connect 24. The
default channel is B.
Problem: • My Skyroute
max transmitter is sending Zone 999 when I wanted to send the actual zone
numbers.
Solution: • Enter the Installer’s Programming (*8). Enter 00 in sub-section [099] of section [00] [18].
This will default all the programming back to factory setting. You will then have to program
your Skyroute
max module from scratch. You will notice that LED5 is blinking 6 times.
Please see the following problem for solution.
Problem: • The Skyroute
max transmitter was activated, but a default was performed; now LED5 is
blinking 6 times.
