IPGSM-4G Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide
– 1 –
General Information
The IPGSM-4G Commercial Fire Communicator (henceforth referred to as IPGSM-4G) is a commercial Fire Alarm com-
municator that allows a Fire panel that previously reported by POTS to be upgraded to a system that uses the internet
or cellular means to connect to a central station.
This dual path communicator connects directly to the primary and secondary communication ports of a Fire panel's Dig-
ital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT). It offers three selectable reporting paths which include; Cellular only, IP
only, or IP primary/cellular backup. In addition, the communicator’s power module (PowerBoost1) monitors and re-
ports AC power loss, and low battery conditions. All signals from the IPGSM-4G communicator panel are delivered to
Honeywell's AlarmNet Network Control Center, which routes the information to the appropriate central station.

Compatible Fire Panels
The IPGSM-4G is compatible with Fire Panels that use the Contact ID communication format as described in the SIA
DC-05 Standard.
After completing the field installation, verify communications with the central station is successful by sending several
events. Also, get confirmation that these events were received.
Operation
The IPGSM-4G replaces the fire panel's POTS communications path. When an event occurs, the fire panel goes off-
hook to dial the central station. The IPGSM-4G detects the off-hook condition and provides the fire panel with a dial
tone. When the fire panel detects the dial tone, it begins dialing the central station. The IPGSM-4G considers the three
second period after dialing as the number dialing has been completed. After the dialing is completed, the Dialer Cap-
ture Module returns a handshake to the fire panel.
The fire panel then sends the contact ID reports to the IPGSM-4G, which in turn sends a kiss-off after the report is suc-
cessfully received from the fire panel. Within the IPGSM-4G, the Dialer Capture Module sends the contact ID reports
over the ECP bus to the Communicator. When all the reports are sent, the fire panel goes on-hook. The IPGSM-4G
then transmits the messages to the central station (either over the internet or the GSM network).
Installation
UL Compliance
To meet UL864/NFPA, ensure the following:
• IPGSM-4G must be installed in accordance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards 70
and 72.
• IPGSM-4G must be mounted in the same room and within 20 feet of the fire panel.
• The Telco line wiring and the Power Transformer wiring must be routed through conduit.
• IPGSM-4G, and all equipment used for the IP connection (such as the router, hub, modem, etc.) shall be UL
Listed, must be powered from an un-switched branch circuit, and be provided with appropriate standby power.
• IPGSM-4G must use a 7AH battery (not supplied) to provide 24-hour backup capability.
