Skyroute max Tranceiver Glossary of Terms

Introducing the Skyroute max Transceiver
TheSkyroute max transceiveroffers a new wireless communica-
tion method for the transmission of event information using the
Cellemetryservice. Eventsaretransmitted from theSkyroute
max
transceivervia the Cellemetry network to the clearing house and
thento the CentralStationina fast, reliable manner.Skyroute
max
has been designed for simple and straightforward installation.
Using the Combus technology, wiring connections are made
directly between Skyroute
max and the security control panel.

Installation
It is mandatory that the power be removed from the
system before any wiring changes are performed on the
Skyroute

damage to the Cellemetry modem.
Mounting the Skyroute max Transceiver
TheSkyroute max transceivercanbe mountedin theupperright

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 trans-
ceiver 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 mount-
ing 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

NOTE: The antenna should always be attached to the
Skyroute max Transceiver for proper operation. The unit
will not function properly if the antenna is not installed.

Relocating the Skyroute max Transceiver
Sincethe Skyroute max transceiver is a Combusaccessory,it is possible to relocatethemoduleup to 1000 feetfromthemain control
panelwhenthepanelisnotlocatedinagoodcellemetry coverage area(acontrolpanelinstalledinavaultforexample).When relocating
themodule, followthesesrules:
• Maximum of 1000 feet from the main control. Combus (Red, Black, Yellow, Green) from the panel to the Skyroute
max
transceiver.
• A supervised power supply 12V@1A (like the PC4204) must be used (see diagram on page 14).
• 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.
Skyroute max Transceiver Trouble Supervision
The Skyroute max transceiver automatically monitors its operation and indicates trouble conditions by flashing LED5 on the circuit
board.LED5normallyflashesonceevery2seconds whenthe Skyroute
max transceiverisonstand-by(readytotransmit)mode. Troubles
areindicated when LED5 flashes more than once every2seconds. Shownbelowis the number of flashes used to indicateeachtrouble
condition.
(1)Radio is operating normally: Skyroute
max transceiver is ready to transmit.
(2)Radio not powered or not responding: Skyroute
max transceiver initialization of Cellemetry modem has failed.
(3)Failedself-test:Aself-testoftheCellemetrymodulehasfailed.
(4)Service not available: The Cellemetry modem has failed to register with the cellular network.
(5) Failureto communicate: A signal has not beensuccessfully communicated to the central station.
(6) Notconnected to clearing house: The Skyroute
max transceiver has not been activated.
(8)Module not enrolled with panel: The Skyroute max transceiver is not addressed by the control panel.
Enrolling Skyroute max with PC4020
Onceall the wiring is complete, you mustenroll the module:
1. Enterinstaller’s programming bypressing[*][8][Installer’s Code]
2. Scrollto “Module Hardware” and press the [*] key.
3. Scrollto “Enroll Module”andpress the [*] key.
4. Scrollthrough the different modules until “Alternate Comms” is displayed. Press the [*] key.
5. Themessage“CreateTamper on Desired Unit” will be displayed. To create the required tamper, secure the tamper zone on
themodule and then open it. The transition from secure to violated enrolls the module. After this is done,the keypad will
display themodulenumberand confirm enrollment “Alternate Comms Mod 01 Enrolled”.
Formore information regarding module enrollment, see the controlpanelInstallationManual.

STEP 4
Activating the Skyroute 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. A complete default of the Skyroute
max module should always be
performed before any other programming is done. See Default section for details.
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’s Voice Response Unit. Follow
the voice prompt and when asked to perform a test, press on 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 Connect24 information package for more information on the activation
process.
Phone number for VRU: CANADA: 1-877-759-7688 U.S.: 1-888-251-7554
NOTE: The confirmation of a successful test from Connect 24 does not guarantee proper transmission of event to your
central station. You must perform normal tests with your monitoring station after activation with Connect 24.
Transmittingand Receiving
LED4 on the Skyroute max module will blink once (1) to indicate the Cellular Tower has received the signal. It will blink twice (2)
to indicate the Alarm Central Station has received and acknowledged the signal.
STEP 5
Testing Your Control to the Central Station
Testallzonesto your Central Stationonthe telephonelineonly. Afterallzonetesting,connect Skyroute max and verify communica-
tion to Central Station.
