NOTE: Enter [*][8][Installer Code][900] at keypad to view the panel version number.
Products or components of products, which perform communications functions only, shall comply
with the requirements applicable to communications equipment as specified in UL60950 or CAN
CSA C22.2. No. 60950-1, Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 1: General Require-
ments. Where network interfaces are external to the control unit or receiver, compliance to CAN
CSA C22.2. No. 60950-1 is adequate. Such components include, but are not limited to: hubs, rout-
ers, NIDs, third-party communications service providers, DSL modems, and cable modems.
Encryption
The communicator uses 128-Bit AES encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the moni-
toring station receiver. Each receiver (Ethernet 1 and 2) 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.
NOTE: Before leaving the installation site, the communicator TL280(R) Ethernet line shall be
connected via an APPROVED (acceptable to the local authorities) Network Interface
Device (NID) (e.g., for UL Installations, UL60950 listed NID). All wiring shall be per-
formed according to the local electrical codes.
The communicator shall be installed by service persons only (service person is defined as a person
having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which
that person may be exposed to in performing a task and can also take measures to minimize the
risks to that person or other persons). The Communicator shall be installed and used within an
environment that provides the pollution degree max 2, overvoltages category II, in non-hazardous,
