Chapter 1: Introduction
The PCS250 GPRS/GSM Communicator Module is the next
evolutionary step in wireless communication solutions for
Paradox control panels. Providing reliable and fast
communication between properties and their respective
monitoring stations, the PCS250 is the vital link that keeps you
connected.
Using cellular networks, the PCS250 reports to the monitoring
station’s automation software via two channels (GPRS/GSM),
ensuring that all communication is fast, reliable, and stable. The
PCS250 can be used as a backup to a traditional landline, or as a
primary communicator where no landline is available. It also adds
remote home control capabilities to a system, allowing you to
arm/disarm with a simple text message (SMS). Feel safe by taking
control of your system, wherever you are.
Re-imagined through an array of new technologies,
contemporary design, and a modern hi-tech finish, the PCS250
GPRS/GSM Communicator Module enables Paradox systems to
be remotely controlled, continuously monitored, and reliably
connected at all times.
Features
• Compact, sleek design
• Instant notification of panel supervision loss
• Easily arm/disarm the system via SMS

• Increase the distance between the panel and the PCS250
with an RS485 link (GSM mode only (E-bus)). A CVT485
module must be added at the panel.
• In GPRS mode, messages are secured with 128-bit (MD5) and
256-bit (AES) encryption
