IPGSM-DPC Commercial Fire Communicator – Installation and Setup Guide

General Information

The IPGSM-DPC Commercial Fire Communicator (henceforth referred to as IPGSM-DPC) includes everything you need to upgrade a commercial fire system that previously reported by POTS to a system that uses the Internet as its primary reporting path, and uses a GSM cellular reporting path as a backup. In addition, this communicator utilizes a sophisticated power module (PowerBoost1) that monitors and reports AC power loss, low battery, and missing battery conditions.

Compatible Fire Panels

The IPGSM-DPC works with:

All Fire Panels that are listed in the table below.

All Fire Panels that use the Contact ID communication format as described in the SIA DC-05 Standard.

IMPORTANT: For a fire panel that has more than 9 active partitions, the first 9 partitions are reported to the central station uniquely. Beyond 9 partitions, only the 2nd digit of the partition is reported along with a leading zero (example partition 14 is reported as 04). The installer must inform the central station of this condition.

The IPGSM-DPC is compatible with the Honeywell brand FACP’s listed below when the model 659EN Line Fault Monitor is installed.
