Products or components of products, which perform communications functions only shall comply with the requirements applica-
ble to communications equipment as specified in UL 60950-1 or CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, Information Technology Equip-
ment - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements. Where network interfaces are internal to the control unit or receiver, compliance to
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1 is adequate. Such components include, but not limited to: Hubs; Routers; NIDs; 3rd party commu-
nications service providers; DSLs, and Cable modems.
The Ethernet Communicator shall be installed by Service Persons only. (Service Person is defined as a person having the appropriate
technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in performing a task and can
also take measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). The Communicator shall be installed and used within an envi-
ronment that provides the pollution degree max 2, over voltages category II, in non-hazardous, indoor locations only. This manual shall be
used with the Installation Manual of the alarm Control Panel which is connected to the Ethernet Communicator. All instructions specified
within the panel manual must be observed.
All the local rules imposed by local electrical codes shall be observed and respected during installation.
Encryption
This device uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station receiver. Each receiver can
independently have encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled at the central station, it will configure the device to
encrypt communications to that receiver the next time the Communicator module performs a communication to that receiver.
NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the unit is re-started.
Installing the Ethernet Cable
A Category 5 (CAT 5) ethernet cable must be run from a source with Ethernet/Internet connectivity to the Communicator module,
inside the Control Panel cabinet. The Communicator end of the cable must be terminated with an RJ45 plug, which connects to the
Communicator's RJ45 jack. All requirements for installation of CAT5 Ethernet cable must be observed for correct operation of the
Communicator, including, but not limited to, the following:
• Do NOT strip off cable sheathing more than required for proper connector termination.
• Do NOT kink/knot cable.• Do NOT crush cable with cable ties. • Do NOT untwist CAT5 cable pairs more than 1.2cm (½").
• Do NOT splice cable.• Do NOT bend cable at right angles or make any other sharp bends.
NOTE: CAT5 specification requires that any cable bend must have a minimum 5 cm (2") bend radius. Do NOT exceed maximum 15cm
(6") from center of ferrite to T-Link Network Connector. Maximum length of CAT 5 cable is 328 ft. (100m).
DLS IV Account Activation and Programming
NOTE: A computer with Internet access is required for DLS IV programming.
Initiate Remote Programming via Ethernet/Internet
1.
Run the DLS IV software on your computer.
2. In 'Account Settings', select your Communicator model and enter all relevant information under 'Ethernet/Internet' section.
NOTE: With the DLS IV downloading software, you now have the ability to change the programming of the Communicator using the
Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the screen. See the Programming Options section of this document, included with the Communica-
tor, for detailed programming information. Also, refer to your DLS IV manual and Help file. DLS IV is required to perform remote firm-
ware updates.
3. When you are at the physical installation site and install the Communicator in the Panel, you can connect with DLS to change the pro-
gramming of the Communicator:
a. Change the Programming Sections using the GUI in DLS IV.
b. Click Global Download and select Ethernet/Internet as the Connection Type. Then Click OK.
c. The initial connection between the unit and DLS IV will be established through Ethernet/Internet. New programming of the Communi-
cator will be downloaded to the unit via Ethernet/Internet once it is installed in the panel.

Installing TL260 Communicator with PC1616/1832/1864
NOTE: Before installing the TL260 Communicator ensure that all system AC and battery power is OFF.
1. To assemble mounting bracket (included in kit), do the following (see Figure 1).
a. Remove the 4 white plastic standoffs from the bag provided with the Communicator kit.
b. Insert the 4 standoffs through the back of the supplied mounting bracket, into the holes at each corner.
c. Place the bracket on a flat, solid surface. Hold the Communicator face up and orient the 4 holes on the Communicator with the 4
standoffs protruding from the bracket. Push the Communicator firmly and evenly onto the standoffs until it is securely attached to the
mounting bracket.
d. Remove the alarm panel front cover.
