IMPORTANT
This Installation Manual shall be used in conjunction with the Alarm controller Power Panel manual; All the
safety instructions specified within that manual shall be observed. (or equivalent). The alarm controller Power
Panel is referenced as “panel” throughout this document.
The GPRS/Ethernet Communicator is fixed, wall-mounted unit and shall be installed in the location specified in
these instructions. The equipment enclosure must be fully assembled and closed, with all the necessary
screws/tabs and secured to a wall before operation. Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:
• Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections,
• Interference between power limited and non power limited wiring,
• Loosening of terminal; connections, or
• Damage of conductor insulation.
WARNING: Never install this equipment during a lightning storm!
Safety Information
The Installer must instruct the System user on each of the following:
• Do not attempt to service this product. Opening or removing covers may expose the user to dangerous
voltages or other risks.
• Any servicing shall be referred to trained service personnel only.
• Use authorized accessories only with this equipment.
Do not stay close to the equipment during device operation and to do not touch the antenna,
Model Information
GS2060-RS: Is a General Packet Radio Service/Global System for Mobile (GPRS/GSM) wireless alarm Com-
municators that send alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, III (SG-DRL3IP), and IV (SG-DRL4IP)
central station receivers via a GPRS/GSM digital cellular network.
TL260-RS: Is an Ethernet alarm Communicator that send alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, and III
central station receivers through Ethernet/Internet connection.
TL260GS-RS : Is a Dual-path GSM/Ethernet alarm Communicators that send alarm communication to Sur-Gard
System I, II, III, and IV central station receivers through Ethernet/Internet or a GPRS/GSM digital cellular network.
The Communicator can be used as either a backup or primary Communicator. The Communicator supports Internet
Protocol (IP) transmission of panel and Communicator Events over Ethernet/Internet and/or GPRS/GSM.
The GPRS/GSM performance of the GS2060-RS and TL260GS-RS Communicators depends greatly on GSM
network coverage. The unit should not be mounted in the final location without first performing the Communica-
tor Placement Test on page 10 to determine the best location for radio reception (minimum of one green LED
ON). Optional antenna kits are available from DSC at: http://www.DSC.com.
NOTE: Prior to installation of the GS2060-RS/TL260GS-RS Communicator, confirm with your carrier
that the GPRS/GSM network is available and active in the area where the Communicator will be
installed and that radio signal strength (CSQ) is adequate.

Technical Specifications
The input voltage to the Communicator can be drawn from the Underwriters Laboratories/Underwriters Labora-
tories Canada (UL/ULC) Listed Control Panel or provided by an external UL/ULC Listed power supply rated for
the application (external power-limited source).
NOTE: The power supply must be Class II, Power Limited.
UL/ULC Installation Requirements
NOTE: For equipment used at the protected premises and intended to facilitate IP communications (hubs,
routers, Network Interface Device (NID)s, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL/Cable modems) 24 hour back-up
power is required. Where such cannot be facilitated, a secondary (back-up) communication channel is
required. Programming for Domain Name Service (DNS) is not permitted in UL/ULC Listed systems.
