WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This Warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is the
installer’s responsibility to bring each item in this Warning to the attention of all users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as
possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, bur-
glary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide
protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised
deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of
reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, cir-
cumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through
an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or
interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as
reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended
due to the failure of a component.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances
which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio
path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal
interference.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be
effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons
with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the
effectiveness of these features. It is important that your security
system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features
remain effective and that it is updated or replaced if it is found
that it does not provide the protection expected.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to pro-
vide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The
expected battery life is a function of the device environment,
usage, and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high
or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may
reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device
has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries
need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as
expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system
in good operating condition.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide
adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a
security professional to ensure that all access points and areas
are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be
secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings
and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and
construction to provide the level of protection expected. A
reevaluation must be done during and after any construction
activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is
highly recommended if this service is available.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operat-
ing as intended can be found by regular testing and mainte-
nance. The complete system should be tested weekly and
immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a
storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction
activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should
include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating
devices, and any other operational devices that are part of the
system.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as
intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an emer-
gency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely
manner. If the system is remotely monitored, the response may
not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated
areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They
cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants.
Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They
have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be
detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They
cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor,
closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type
of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as mask-
ing, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors,
windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its
proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes
in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced
when the ambient temperature rises near or above body tem-
perature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of
heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources
could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sun-
light, steam vents, lighting, and so on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many
other security devices require an adequate power supply for
proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possi-
ble for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed,
they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If
a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however
brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have
power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied
by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment
such as a security system. After a power interruption has
occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure
that the system operates as intended.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute
for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a sub-
stitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act
prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emer-
gency situation.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly
alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which
follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed
or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or
on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not
detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or
building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the
rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires
equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of
fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking
in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children play-
ing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be
circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all
occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of
service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may
cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisti-
cated means which may be difficult to detect.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not
warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an interven-
ing wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different
level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the
occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices
may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos,
radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or pass-
ing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be
heard by a hearing-impaired person.

routers, Network Interface Device (NID)s, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL/Cable modems) 24 hour back-up
power is required. Where such cannot be facilitated, a secondary (back-up) communication channel is
required. Programming for Domain Name Service (DNS) is not permitted in UL/ULC Listed systems.
Notes for using Private, Corporate, and High Speed Data Networks:
Network access and domain access policies shall be set to restrict unauthorized network access, and spoofing
or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Select an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has redundant servers/sys-
tems, back-up power, routers with firewalls enabled, and methods to identify and protect against DoS attacks
(e.g., via spoofing).
Notes for using Public Switched and Wireless Data Networks:
Communication channels shall be facilitated such that the Communicator will restrict unauthorized access,
which could otherwise compromise security. Communicators shall be located in secured areas.
• For ULC Residential fire and burglary applications the TL260GS-RS can be used as primary communication
channel via either GSM or Ethernet or as a back-up in conjunction with the Digital Alarm Communicator
Transmitter (DACT). Test transmission every 24 hours shall be enabled on each channel.
• For ULC Commercial Fire and Burglary applications the GS2060-RS and TL260GS-RS can be used as a
passive communication module with the following Security Levels:
• P1 (each channel GSM or Ethernet is independent),
• P2 (GSM and Ethernet in back-up configuration, panel Section [851][005] Toggle Option [5] OFF),
• P3 (GSM and Ethernet in redundant configuration, panel Section [851][005] Toggle Option [5] ON).
• The module can be also used as an Active communication system with the Security Levels A1-A4 (each
channel GSM or Ethernet independent or together in a back-up/redundant configuration). For Active Line
Security systems AES128 bit encryption shall be enabled at the monitoring station receiver and the supervi-
sion heartbeat rate shall be set as 90 seconds (panel Section [851] [004] = 005A/90). The supervision win-
dow at the Signal Receiver Centre (SRC)'s receiver shall be programmed as maximum 00B4/180 seconds.
• For UL Residential fire and burglary applications the GS2060-RS andTL260GS-RS can be used as primary
communication channel via either GSM or Ethernet, or as a back-up in conjunction with the DACT (30 day
test transmission is required on each channel).
• For UL Commercial Burglary applications the TL260GS-RS module can be used as Dual Signalling Line
communication system (GSM and Ethernet channels used in redundant configuration), Standard Line Secu-
rity and as Encrypted Line Security.
• The supervision heartbeat shall be enabled (panel Section [851] [005] Toggle Option [1] (Ethernet) and/or
Toggle Option [2] (GSM) shall be ON), Toggle Option [3] (Supervision Type) shall be ON and the supervision
heartbeat rate shall be selected as 0087/135 seconds Option [004] = 0087. The supervision window at the
supervising station shall be maximum 00C8/200 seconds. For Encrypted Line Security systems the encryp-
tion AES128 bit shall be enabled at the monitoring station receiver.
• For UL Commercial Burglary installations, the GS2060-RS is listed as a primary (sole) communication
means (heartbeat must be enabled) or for supplementary (back-up) use in conjunction with a Plain Old Tele-
phone Service (POTS) line (dialer). When the heartbeat transmission over the Ethernet or GPRS/GSM net-
work is enabled, using the TL260GS-RS with a compatible control unit listed for standard/encrypted line
security, it can provide line security for the alarm system over the primary line.
• The TL260GS-RS is also suitable to be used with a compatible control unit listed for dual line security trans-
mission when used in conjunction with a Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) or a Public
Switched Data Network (PSDN) transmitter, where the PSDN provides the line security and is the primary
line. In this mode, alarm signals are required to be sent simultaneously over both communication methods.
• For UL Residential Fire installations, a test transmission is sent to the Monitoring station every 7 days. This is
the default setting of the product.

Customer Furnished Equipment
The Communicator provides monitoring and control via an RS-232 link to an external device, Customer Fur-
nished Equipment (CFE). The default communication link speed is 115.2 KB and this option is programmable
by the installer. All life-safety events are encrypted and transmitted by the GPRS path to the central monitoring
station. All life-style events are transmitted by the RS-232 link, using IT V2.0 protocol to the customer device.
NOTE: Customer furnished equipment may be an interface device which connects to security panels,
IP cameras, sensors, Z-wave based home automation devices, etc. to deliver a host of advanced
functionality.
The following features are available with the RS-232 Communications Interface:
• Communicator faults can be transmitted.
• Panel communication errors are reported to the CFE.
• Real time reporting of zone status information to the CFE.
• Remote update the Communicator (flash upgrade).
• SMS incoming “wake up” for the GPRS channel.
• WEB login will request an incoming session with the Communicator.
• Zone Label Programming.
NOTE: Communicator buffers 1,000 date/time stamped Life Style events to CFE as First In First Out (FIFO).
Encryption
The Communicator uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station
receiver. Each receiver can independently have encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled,
the central station will configure the device to encrypt communications the next time the Communicator module
performs a communication to that receiver.
NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the unit
is restarted.
Before leaving the installation site, the Communicator TL260-RS/TL260GS-RS shall be connected via

INITIAL PANEL PROGRAMMING

10
To confirm that the panel/antenna location is suitable for radio operation, perform this test as follows:
NOTE: You may need to relocate the panel or install an optional extension antenna during this
procedure, if radio signal strength is too low and can not be corrected.
1. Confirm that the yellow Trouble LED on the Communicator is not flashing. A flashing yellow LED indicates
trouble on the Communicator. See Table 6 to troubleshoot and correct the cause of this trouble before con-
tinuing to the next step.
2. Observe the strength of the radio signal on the yellow LED and the 2 green LEDs) on the Communicator
board meet or exceed the minimum signal level requirement. Minimum Signal Level: The yellow LED must
be OFF and the Green LED 1 (furthest from the yellow LED) ON. (i.e., not flashing) for the panel loca-
tion to be acceptable. See table for Radio Signal Strength on page 11 for interpretation of receiver GSM sig-
nal strength on LEDs.
NOTE: If the required signal strength is too low with the panel in its current location, it must be relo-
cated or an external antenna is required.
a. If required, the following GSM extension antenna kits are available to the installer:
• GS15-ANTQ - 4.57m (15’ Internal Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for interior mounting only).
• GS25-ANTQ - 7.62m (25’ External Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for exterior mounting only).
• GS50-ANTQ - 15.24m (50’ External Antenna Extension Kit (suitable for exterior mounting only).
Specific instructions for the installation of the extension antenna are included with the kit. Observe all the electrical
safety instructions regarding the installation of the antenna. All the wiring of the equipment shall be fully compliant
with the local rules and regulations.
3. If required, install the antenna extension and perform the following steps to determine the best location for
placement of the antenna :
a. Disconnect the white whip antenna from the panel.
b. Attach one end of the antenna extension cable to the threaded antenna connector on the panel and the
other end to the external antenna.
4. Move the extension antenna to various locations while observing the two Green LEDs on the panel.
a. Continue to reposition the extension antenna until you receive an acceptable (minimum one green LED
ON solid) signal strength.
NOTE: Minimum strength is: green LED 1 flashing and yellow LED OFF. If green LED 1 is flash-
ing, relocation should be considered.
b. Mount the supplied antenna extension bracket at the location that provided the best signal strength.
5. Alternately, you can reposition the panel to improve signal strength. Dismount the panel and move it to
another location to achieve the required signal strength. If the panel is relocated to improve signal strength,
mount it in the new location.
6. When final location is determined, continue installation at Initial Panel Programming section.
The Communicator has 4 onboard LED indicators. These include 1 yellow trouble LED, 1 red Network Connec-
tion Status LED, and 2 green Signal Strength LEDs. The LED meaning is described in this Section.
Yellow Trouble LED
This yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the type of trouble.
See the table below for the coded flashes and the conditions which will activate the Trouble Status LED.
NOTE: Only the highest priority trouble (1 Flash is highest priority) is indicated. When this trouble is
restored, the next highest trouble will indicate, if present. This will continue until all Troubles have been
cleared (yellow LED OFF).
The following paragraphs describe the conditions associated with the trouble indicated:
Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the Communicator module and the control panel
fails. If the module can not communicate with the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the Communicator will
send the ‘Panel Absent Trouble Event’ message to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a
‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is sent by the Communicator to the central station receiver. The reporting codes
are ET0001 for Trouble and ER0001 for Restore. The panel absent event always uses the primary receiver
account code when communicating to the central station.
NOTE: The Panel Supervision Trouble/Restore is an internally generated event by the Communicator. It
is the only internal event; all other events are generated by the control panel. Trouble is generated if the
Communicator misses 6 Polls. Trouble is restored on receipt of first Poll from the panel.
SIM Lock Trouble (4 Flashes)
This trouble will signify that the SIM lock feature has been enabled and the unit has not been programmed with
the correct PIN for the SIM card.

[004] Receiver Supervision Interval
Default (0087/135)
When receiver supervision is enabled (ON) in Section [005] Toggle Option [3], the unit sends heartbeats to Ether-
net Receiver 1 or GPRS Receiver 1 to test the communication path. Use this Section to set the interval time (in sec-
onds) when heartbeats will be sent. Valid range 000A-FFFF seconds.
If the programmed value is less than (000A/10) seconds, supervision is disabled.
•Receiver Window: This is the supervision timeout that needs to be configured at the central station receiver.
•Recommended Values: This is the recommended heartbeat interval that should be programmed into the
Communicator module.
• For ULC passive systems (not using heartbeat supervision), the daily test transmission must be enabled over
each available communication channel Section [125] and [225]. When programming with Connect24, the
recommended intervals will be programmed automatically when the required window is selected.
