The 3G3070 is a wireless communicator that sends alarm system information to an SG-System III, SG-
System II, or SG-System I receiver through a GSM/GPRS wireless network. This wireless communicator can
be used with UL/ULC Listed compatible control units, as indicated in the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
NOTE: The 3G3070 is designed to work with the Contact ID communication format as described in SIA DC-
05 Standard. Before completing the field installation of the alarm monitoring system please ensure com-
munication with the supervising central station is successful by sending several events and getting confir-
mation that they have been received.

Technical Specifications
The input voltage to the 3G3070 can be drawn from the 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. For residential applications a suitable power adap-
tor is model DSC ADP1310-NAU (for USA) and model DSC ADP1310-NA (for Canada).
