Concord 4 LTE Module

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Introduction

The LTE Module for Concord 4 enables wireless reporting of all alarms

and other system events from the Interlogix Concord 4 control panel

using the LTE wireless cellular network. The module can be used as the

primary communication path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a

telephone line connection to the central monitoring station. The wireless

alarm signaling and routing service is operated by Alarm.com. The

Concord 4 LTE module also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s

emPowerTM solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities.

The module interfaces with the Concord panel data bus and is powered

by the panel battery or an auxiliary 12 VDC power supply. Status LEDs

on the LTE module indicate bus and cellular network communications.

Installation Overview & Guidelines

Before beginning the module installation, familiarize yourself with the

following installation guidelines and the location of the module and

troubleshooting LEDs and their function as shown in Figure 1 and Table

2, as they are referenced throughout this guide. Using these tips will

help guarantee a successful module installation.

1) Create the customer account on the Alarm.com Dealer Site at least 24

hours before installation. See Account Creation above.

2) Turn off the “Access Code Lock”feature on the panel. This feature

MUST be off for the system to communicate with Alarm.com.

3) Installation consists of finding a mounting location for optimum

wireless signal strength, mounting the module, wiring the module, and

installing a case tamper (if necessary). Use the LTE Status LEDs on the

module to check the signal strength before you permanently mount the

module to avoid signaling issues after the installation is complete.

4) Power the module off of the battery, not off of the panel (see Wiring

on page 2).

5) Perform a manual phone test (Comm Test) to initiate communication

(see Power up on page 3.)

6) Observe panel power limitations as stipulated below:

•The module draws a maximum of 65 mA (continuous) in PowerSave

Mode and 100 mA (continuous) in Idle Mode and Connected Mode

from the panel. The module can draw up to 1600 mA

(instantaneous peaks) from the panel.

•Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel

power for bus devices and hardwired sensors (refer to panel

documentation).

•Use four-conductor, 22 or 18 gauge stranded wire to connect the

module to the panel. Table 1 shows the maximum wire length for

each gauge.

Module Installation

Tools and Supplies Needed

You will need the following tools and supplies:

•Small blade and Phillips screwdriver

•Drill and bits for screws and/or anchors

•Wire cutter/stripper

•Four-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire

•#6 panhead screws (4 included)

•Wall anchors (4 included)

•2 KΩ EOL resistor (included)

Module Location Guidelines

Prior to beginning installation, use the following guidelines to choose a

location for the module:

•Check the signal strength before choosing a location. Perform a

walking signal strength test by powering the module off the battery

directly (connect the GND and +12V terminals). After two minutes,

LTE status LED L4 will flash between one and five times to indicate

the LTE signal strength level (where 5 is the strongest signal).

Alarm.com recommends a signal level of two or higher for proper

operation of the LTE Module.

•Avoid mounting the module in areas with excessive metal or

electrical wiring, such as furnace or utility rooms.

•Locate the module near an outside wall, preferably on an upper

level.

•Do not mount the module gateway inside of the panel’s metal box.

Doing so will negatively impact Z-Wave performance.

•For homes or businesses located in canyons or with hills nearby, it is

necessary to place the antenna higher in the building.

Mounting the Module and Connecting the Antenna

To mount the module:

1) Press down on the top of the enclosure cover (See Figure 3) and set it

aside.

Figure 3: Enclosure Cover

2) The LTE module requires 2 antennas for proper operation. Both

antennas are pre-installed for convenience. The larger antenna will be

connected to antenna connector 1 and the smaller antenna will be

connected to antenna connector 2.

3) For optimal signal strength the antennas should be placed as far

away from the module as possible and as far away from each other as

possible. The recommended antenna orientation is shown in Figure 4

Figure 4: Antenna wire orientation

4) Place the module back plate on the wall at the desired mounting

location, check for level, and mark the three mounting holes and the

wire access area (Figure 4). Be sure to leave room above the back

plate to route the antennas.

5) Set the back plate aside and drill holes at the mounting and wire

access area locations.

6) Use wall anchors where studs are not present and secure the back

plate to the wall with the enclosed screws.

CAUTION: You must be free of static electricity before handling electronic

components. Touch a grounded metal surface before touching the circuit board.

Wiring

To wire the module to the panel, do the following:

1) Remove panel AC Power and disconnect the backup battery. This is

necessary to prevent damaging the panel or module while making

wiring connections.

2) Wire the module to the panel bus and to the battery terminals for

power as shown in Figure 5.

3) If required, connect an input device to the module Z1 and ZCOM

terminals.

Case Tamper Switch Installation (Optional)

If the module is easily accessible, you can add case tamper detection to

activate an alarm or trouble (depending on panel programming) when

the cover is removed.

To install the tamper switch, see Figure 6 and do the following:

1. Slide the reed switch into the plastic holder on the module back plate.

2. Connect a UL Listed reed switch (with a 2 KΩEOL resistor 01-022) to

the module zone input or to any unused hardwired input on the panel.

3. Insert the magnet into the nibs on the top cover and press the magnet

clip down over the magnet until it clicks into place into the cover.

Figure 6: Case tamper switch installation

Power Up

To power up the module and panel and start communication between

them, do the following:

1) Verify that all wiring between the panel and module is correct.

2) Connect the backup battery and restore AC power to the panel.

Note: Whenever the module is added or changed, you must remove panel

power and reapply it for the panel and module to communicate successfully.

3) Enter installer program mode and turn off the “Access Code Lock”

feature (Security menu). This MUST be set to off for the system to

communicate with Alarm.com. The module PWR LED should turn on.

After a few seconds, the module BUS and AUTO LEDs should flash to

indicate successful communication with the panel.

4) Verify that LTE status LED L1 is not flashing any errors (see Module

Status LEDs on page 4). Also, verify that LED L4 is flashing an LTE

signal level of two or higher. Otherwise, relocate the module. If LED

L1 and LED L4 are not flashing, and LED L2 and LED L3 are flashing

together, the module is in PowerSave Mode and the battery needs to

be charged.

5) Perform an installer LTE manual phone test.

At a system touchpad,

•Enter “8” + [installer code] + “3”

•Disarm the panel by entering “1” +[installer code] within 10

seconds of starting the phone test. Before doing the manual

phone test, the bottom red status LED should be on and the

yellow status LED should be flashing. The yellow LED will stay on

solid once the manual phone test is completed.

Note: Do not press any system touchpad buttons during the five to eight

minutes or the time will not set. During this time, the keypad will go in and

out of programming mode and will beep several times.

Gateway Status LEDs

The status LEDs, located on the left side of the module (Figure 1 on page

1) indicate the current signal and status of the Wireless Gateway

Module. The bottom red LED indicates if the module is in range and if it

is registered. The yellow and green LEDs indicate the message status.

The top LED is not used.

Red LED

On: The module is in range and registered with the network.

Off: The module is out of range and not registered with the network.

Blinks: The module is registered with the network, but out of range.

Yellow LED

On: LED on after the first message has been sent by the module and

received by Alarm.com.

Off: LED off until a message has been sent by the module.

Blinks: The first message is being sent by the module.

Green LED

Off: The LED is off as soon as Alarm.com receives a message from the

module (off most of the time).

Blinks: A message is being sent by the module.

LED L1 (red)

LED 1 flashes when an error is encountered. The number of flashes is the

error number. If there are two or more errors at the same time, the

errors will be flashes one after the other. The LED will stay off for at least

four seconds between errors. Table 5 describes the errors indicated by

LED L1.

Error and Solution

Module cannot communicate with the panel. Perform a power

cycle on the panel. If the error persists lift the module out of the

panel and re-insert it. If the error is still observed try a different

module. Finally, if that does not fix the problem try a different

panel.

2 then 4

The module provisioning process could not be completed.

2 then 5

The module provisioning process could not be completed because

the module is currently roaming on the carrier’s network.

The module is trying to register on the LTE network. If it persists

for more than a few minutes, the module is having problems

registering. Check L4 for signal level. If signal level is lower than 2

bars, change the panel’s location or use a remote antenna option.

The module is registered on the LTE network but could not connect

with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.

Radio portion of the module is not working correctly. If this

persists for more than a few minutes the module may need to be

replaced. This error is extremely rare so verify that the module is

flashing 5 times.

This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute.

Otherwise, it’s an indication that the module is fixing an unusual

condition regarding communication with the LTE network.

Access Code Lock On: This option MUST be turned off at the panel

(System Programming - 0003) for module to communicate.

If it persists, the account may have been set up

incorrectly. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support. You will be

asked to check the serial number of the module.

LED L2 (yellow)

L2 flashes with every communication between the module and the

panel. Normal pattern calls for a series of quick flashes every two

seconds in Idle Mode or four seconds in PowerSave Mode.

It also occasionally flashes in patterns to indicate Z-Wave status. See

Table 6 for a description of various possibilities.

LED L3 (green or yellow)

L3 flashes with every communication between the module and its radio

unit in Idle Mode, and with every communication with Alarm.com in

Connected Mode. In PowerSave Mode, this LED flashes in unison with

LED L2.

LED L4 (green or yellow)

L4 indicates the LTE signal level as a number of flashes (0 to 5 bars). The

number of bars may not correspond to the bars shown on your cell

phone. A level of 5 bars is obtained only in the strongest signal

conditions. Signal level is updated every ten seconds if it fluctuates, or

every 30 seconds if it is fairly stable.

If LED L4 is continuously flashing, the module provisioning process is in

progress. The signal level indication will resume after the process

completes.

If L4 is not flashing it indicates one of the following states:

•The module is in PowerSave Mode

•The module just powered up

•There is no LTE coverage in the area. Alarm.com recommends a

steady signal level of 2 or higher for proper operation of the

module.

In Connected Mode, the LED toggles on and off.

LED L5 (yellow)

L5 indicates Z-Wave errors. The possible signals and what they indicate is

shown in Table 6 .
