GENERAL INFORMATION
All versions of the HSPA/2G and Ethernet Alarm Communicator, operate on a HSPA/2G network and are housed inside the Self Con-
tained Wireless (SCW) 9055/9057. The Communicators use an Internal Antenna only.
Each version of Alarm Communicators covered by this Installation Manual are described below:
GS2055: A High Speed Packet Access/Global System for Mobile (HSPA/2G) wireless Alarm Communicator that sends alarm communica-
tion to Sur-Gard System I, II, III (SG-DRL3IP), and IV (SG-DRL4IP) central station receivers via a HSPA/2G digital cellular network.
TL255GS: Is a dual-path Cellular/Ethernet Alarm Communicator that sends alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, III, and IV
central station receivers through Ethernet/Internet or a HSPA/2G digital cellular network.
The dual path Communicator can be used as either a backup or primary Communicator. The Communicator supports Internet Protocol
(IP) transmission of panel and internal events over Ethernet/Internet and/or HSPA/2G.
For North America the following model names are available: GS2055-NA, TL255GS-NA, GS2055-SM-NA, and TL255GS-SM-NA.
CAUTION:
• Do not stay close to the equipment during device operation and to do not touch any exposed wires and other conductive surfaces,
• Recycle the battery according to the local rules and regulations.
NOTE: Prior to installation of the GS2055 or TL255GS Communicator, confirm with your local carrier that the HSPA/2G network is
available and active in the area where the Communicator will be installed, and that the location provides a radio signal strength
that is adequate for uninterrupted service.
FEATURES
UL/ULC INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• For ULC Residential fire and burglary applications the GS2055/TL255GS can be used as primary communication channel via either
Cellular or Ethernet (as applicable) or as a back-up in conjunction with the Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT). Test
transmission every 24hours shall be enabled on each channel.
• For UL Residential fire and burglary applications the GS2055/TL255GS can be used as primary communication channel via either
Cellular or Ethernet, or as a back-up in conjunction with the DACT. (30 day test transmission is required on each channel).
