Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
The PCS200 provides Paradox control panels with wireless communication
capabilities to report system events through a GPRS or GSM network to the
IPR512 GPRS/IP Monitoring Receiver.
The PCS200 can be configured to send system events to the
end-user via SMS, and can remotely upload/download with WinLoad software
via GPRS. All this is achieved via a simple 4-wire serial connection between
the control panel and the PCS200.
The PCS200 can be installed up to 2m (6 ft.) from the panel. The device’s
antenna can be installed up to 18m (60 ft.) from the reporting device using an
optional antenna cable extension, depending on the local signal strength.
Features
• Report events to the IPR512 GPRS/IP Monitoring Receiver via GPRS or
to a landline receiver via GSM
• Fast upload/download with WinLoad or NEware via a GPRS connection
• Firmware upgrades via GPRS, or directly on-site
• Report via text message (up to 16 cell phone numbers)
• Control panel communication supervision. When detected, the control
panel will generate a trouble as well as report it to the monitoring station
via landline
• End user can arm or disarm the system by sending a text message
(SMS) to the PCS200 - GSM mode
• Send pre-recorded voice messages to up to 8 phone numbers to report
alarms using the Paradox Plug-In Voice Module (VDMP3) - GSM mode
• Simple installation with 4-wire serial connection
• Module antenna can be installed up to 18m (60ft) from the module using
optional antenna cable extensions depending on the local signal
strength
• 128-bit (MD5) and 256-bit (AES) encryption - GPRS mode

Chapter 3: Connections
The following sections guide you through the steps required to connect the
PCS200 prior to mounting the unit.
SIM Card Connection
The PCS200 connects to your Paradox control panel providing wireless
communication capabilities to report system events to a monitoring station.
The PCS200 supports standard GSM provider SIM cards. The SIM card
contains all your cellular telephone account information. In order to activate
your SIM card, you must contact your local GSM network provider.
Note: Prior to setting up your PCS200, it is important that the Personal
Identification Number (PIN) of the SIM card be disabled. Refer to your cellular
phone’s manual for more information on how to disable the PIN.
To install the SIM card:
1) Remove the front cover of the PCS200 Module. If the cover is not
installed, proceed to Step 2.
2) Slide the SIM card tray towards the bottom to unlock it, and then flip the
SIM card tray open towards you, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Open the SIM card tray slowly to avoid damage to the tray.
3) Slide the SIM card into the tray with the cut-off corner towards the
bottom left. Close the SIM card tray and slide the tray up to lock it into
place.
