Chapter 7: Module Supervision
The PCS250 provides several supervision options to ensure that
you or your monitoring station is notified of problems such as
loss of GSM service or loss of communication with the control
panel.
Unique to Paradox, the PCS250 can supervise the presence of the
control panel. If communication with the control panel is lost, the
PCS250 will send an SMS message. In GSM mode only, the
PCS250 can report to the central station that communication to
the control panel has been lost, refer to “LED Feedback” on
page 7 for more information on LED sequence.
The PCS250 verifies the presence of the GSM cell phone network
approximately every 20 seconds. If the connection is lost, the
panel can generate an alarm or trouble after the delay has
elapsed (programmed in section [2952] for EVO or [855] for MG/
SP). When the GSM network connection is lost, the green GSM
Connection LED will turn off.
