Before You Install or Replace One

• Confirm exact model number on the communicator label matches the install manual.

• Verify host panel family — Keybus PowerSeries, Neo Corbus, MAXSYS Combus, IMPASSA integrated, or universal dialer-capture are not interchangeable.

• Confirm monitoring receiver and account accept this communicator format (Contact ID, SIA, IP, cellular).

• Check carrier/network generation (3G sunset, LTE band, Ethernet path) for your region.

• Add communicator current draw to panel battery standby calculation where the module loads from panel bus power.

Sur-Gard System II IP receiver (central station)

This is a central-station receiver, not a premises communicator. Faults appear in receiver software, not panel [*, 2].

Panel FTC and alt-comms troubles apply to the host communicator, not this accessory — see the communicator listing for full trouble tables.

Sur-Gard receiver service

• Premises TL250/TL300/TL880 FTC often traces to receiver-side account or IP whitelist — check Sur-Gard config first.

• Single-line IP receiver capacity limits may reject new accounts — verify licensing with monitoring provider.

For panel reporting faults (FTC, alt-comms), troubleshoot the host communicator module paired with this product — not this accessory alone.

Pre-install checklist

• Match communicator SKU to host panel family (see compatible-peripherals.md).

• Plan mounting location — metal cabinets, underground rooms, and long coax runs affect cellular/IP performance.

• Reserve panel bus power or external power per manual; update battery calculation chart.

• Confirm monitoring account and receiver are provisioned before final test.

Typical install sequence

1. Mount communicator (or PCL-422 remote mount if used) per manual clearances.

1. Wire power and data: Corbus/Keybus homerun, dialer Tip/Ring, or Ethernet as applicable.

1. Enroll module in panel programming (Neo/Pro [902], PowerSeries alt-comms section, IMPASSA [382]/[401] as applicable).

1. Program reporting codes, account, and path priority (primary/backup for dual-path).

1. Register with central station / Alarm.com / T-Link receiver.

1. Run end-to-end communication test and document signal levels.
