LX30B Alarm.com Universal Communicator (AUC) - Data Sheet

The LX30B Alarm.com Universal Communicator (AUC) can retrofit a huge list of compatible older POTS type security systems, such as DSC, Honeywell, PIMA, GE, Paradox, Intelbras, Visonic, Texacom, and many others.

  • 4G/LTE with 2G fallback **

    A&T global roaming simcard

    Dial capture DTMF - (CID/SIA events)
  • AES encryption
  • Universal takeover capability using phone line (PSTN)
  • Remote arm/disarm through KeySwitch zone*
  • Remote firmware update capability for the communicator module
  • Remote access to the control panel (Future Release)

* The term KeySwitch zone refers to the type of zone definition, which would allow a security system to be armed/disarmed, through momentary contact pulse. This is generally supported by most traditional security systems.

** US does not support 2G network. Canada will support 2G until 2025. 2G fallback only applies to some International partners.

Terminal

Description of connectors

+12V

Positive 12-14VDC supply pole. 

GND

Negative supply pole. Device ground. Common terminal for inputs and outputs.

ACM

Control connector for monitoring the AC power supply to an external control panel. If this connector is connected to the control panel AC connector, the communicator can verify the presence of power in the control panel.

I/O 1 – I/O 8

Role configurable connectors where the installer, using the EBS Config 2.0 program, can define whether the connector is to behave as an input or as an output. If configured as an input, the connector behaves as a typical signal input. If configured as an output, the connector behaves as a typical OC output.

T1 - R1

Connections for connecting a telephone communicator of the alarm control panel.

TIP – RING

Connectors for connecting another transmitter (e.g., working in another GSM network)

EARTH

Earthing

A, B

Connectors not used (for future use)
