Overview
The CellCom LTE Alarm Communicators provide essential communication for burglary, commercial fire, and residential fire alarm systems. Models like the CellCom-LTE-V and CellComF-LTE-V enable basic remote panel control via the Virtual Keypad™ app, offering end-user alerts for arming/disarming, alarms, and other events. The CellComZ-LTE-V further enhances functionality by adding Z-Wave® control for lights, locks, and thermostats.

Compatibility and Applications
Works with Most Panels
If an existing panel supports Contact ID, it can be upgraded with CellCom-LTE-V, CellComZ-LTE-V, or CellComF-LTE-V without issues related to lockout codes. The CellCom-LTE-V unit can be added to the existing installation, and a custom account number can be programmed.
Available Burglary Communication
The CellCom-LTE-V facilitates control of basic panel security functions and video capabilities. The CellComZ-LTE-V expands this by enabling remote interaction with Z-Wave devices, supporting home automation features such as control of lights, door locks, and thermostats.
Fire Communication
The CellComF-LTE-V provides cellular fire communication for any fire control panel using Contact ID captures or zone inputs, meeting the NFPA 72 Standard for Single Communication Technology.
Mobile System Control
CellCom LTE communicators allow for easy updates to older residential and commercial systems, enabling the latest cellular communication links. With cellular connectivity, end users can remotely access their panels via the Virtual Keypad app. This allows them to control basic arm/disarm functions, receive alerts, and manage Z-Wave home automation devices from their mobile devices.
Enable Video on the App
The CellCom-LTE-V communicators support the addition of up to six video cameras. Through the Virtual Keypad app, end users can remotely view their premises to cancel or verify alarms, check on children or senior adults, and capture still or video images.
Fully Supervised Communication
CellCom-LTE-V ensures alarm messages are communicated to an SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receiver over the Verizon LTE network. This provides faster communication speeds for burglary control panels.
System Features and Upgrades
Field Panel Updates
The Model 400 USB Flash Module facilitates easy field updates of firmware for panels that would typically require a computer and a Model 399 Programming Harness.
System Programming
System programming can be performed over the cellular network via VirtualLink™, including zone information and monitoring center communications.
Multiple Connection Options
CellCom-LTE-V communicators can be connected to existing panels in various ways, including capturing Contact ID messages from the dialer, connecting to four input zones from panel outputs, or sensing the panel's bell output to communicate messages to the monitoring center.
Four Zones
Each CellCom-LTE-V model offers four zones for connection to burglary control panel outputs. Zone 4 is designated for connection to the control panel's bell output.
Outputs
Outputs can be utilized to connect to an arming zone of an existing panel, allowing for control of that panel through the app.
Easy Upgrade for Dialer-Only Panels
Dial-up panels can be modernized with cellular communication, extending their lifespan and enhancing customer satisfaction. This upgrade helps retain customers by offering advanced features.
Build Customer Loyalty
By enabling mobile intrusion alarm features, companies can prevent customers from seeking alternatives from competitors. This approach fosters customer loyalty and increases the likelihood of customers choosing the same provider for future panel replacements. DMP's Virtual Keypad app can be customized with an organization's logo and contact information, serving as a daily reminder of services.

Applications
CID Dialer Connection
Connect the tip and ring from the control panel directly to the communicator. This captures Contact ID messages from fire panels using the SIA communication standard DC-05-1999.09-DCS. Messages are formatted into a Serial 3 message and sent to a DMP Model SCS-1R Receiver or SCS-VR Receiver. Note: CID Dialer Connection cannot be used with Zone 4 Bell Connection. Do not connect telephone company wires to the communicator; remove any existing telephone company wires from the control panel.
