GSM communicator G16T_3xxx
Description
Communicator G16T_3xxx is intended to upgrade any intruder alarm panel with telephone line communicator (TLC) for event
signalling via cellular network.
Communicator transmits full event information to Alarm Receiving Centre.
Customers are informed about security system events in Protegus apps or with SMS messages. They can Arm/Disarm the alarm
system remotely via panel’s keyswitch zone.
Connection
Connection to control panels via:
TLC terminal connection
Communications
Communication modes:
GPRS/3G
SMS
Simultaneously sends events to the security
company’s receiver and works with Protegus app.
Priority is given for sending events to ARC.
Sends events to TRIKDIS software or hardware
receivers that work with any monitoring software.
Can send events to the universal SIA DC-09 receivers.
The primary and second communication channels
can operate in parallel, so the communicator can
send events at the same time to two receivers.
You can assign a backup channel for the primary and
second channels, which will be used when the
connection with the primary channel is interrupted.
Telephone landline supervision between the control
panel and communicator G16T_3xxx
Event messages via SMS to ARC. It is useful because it
works even when an IP connection in the network of
a mobile operator is broken.
Each channel has a separate back-up channel
Simultaneous event reporting to Protegus
Mobile/Web application, allowing user to remotely
monitor and control its alarm system
Event messages are transmitted in Contact ID codes
Event reporting via SMS messages to four different
users in user friendly SMS messages
Two SIM cards –one as backup SIM card
There are models with one SIM card and two SIM
cards.
Configuration
Quick and easy configuration and firmware updates
Communicator can be factory locked to a security
company
Access to the device configuration is secured with
two level password
Inputs and outputs
1 Outputs controlled via:
Mobile/Web application
SMS
2 Input, type: NC, NO, NC with EOL, NO with EOL, NC
with DEOL, NO with DEOL.
With extra wired and wireless iO expanders,
additional inputs and controlled outputs can be
added

Write an appropriate Object ID (4 symbols hexadecimal number).
Use security panel account ID - Account ID is set in control panel, if enabled it will be transmitted to a G16T_3xxx.
Wait acknowledgement from ARC - after a successful reception of a message, the ARC sends a kissoff signal to
communicator. If the communicator does not receive the kissoff tone in time, it retransmits the message.
Line supervision-Supervision of communicator and control panel connection. Reacts when communication with control
panel is lost. To enable this feature, connect communicator`s contact T-1/IN1, R-1/IN2 with control panel`s contact R-1
and T-1. (refer to 5.4 Wiring diagram).
