For commercial fire installations, one can choose DMP’s new CellComF-LTE. Designed with the same platform as DMP’s popular DualCom Universal Communicator, the CellComF-LTE includes two sets of tip and ring terminals for easy installations. This new design meets the NFPA 72 standard for single communications technology. For instance, if the CellComF stops communicating, it’s designed to automatically disrupt voltage on the second tip and ring, that triggers the host panel to annunciate the trouble. Supervized LTE alarm communication “For fire panels, it’s a simpler way of ensuring local annunciation,” says Aaron McGhee, product manager of Control Panels. “And, it’s a much cleaner and faster installation process.” The new CellCom Series includes both fire and non-fire options, each one with built-in LTE cellular. When there’s an opportunity to upgrade non-DMP panels to LTE, this means one will be able to give customers a single path fully supervized LTE alarm communication over AT&T’s or Verizon’s LTE networks. As with earlier-generation products, the LTE communicators are designed to work with digital cellular service from SecureCom Wireless™, enabling dealers to get systems up and running quickly.
All of DMP’s Com Series™ Universal Communicators provide ECP communication with Honeywell VISTA® panels. DMP is excited to introduce a new member of the Com Series that’s not only compatible with VISTA panels, but DSC PowerSeries™ panels too. “The new DualComN communicator is UL 1610 Listed for commercial burglary applications, which creates some exciting upgrading opportunities for our dealers,” explains Aaron McGhee, product manager of Control Panels for DMP. “You’ll be able to connect to DSC PowerSeries panels through the DMP communicator to remotely manage all user codes and easily check zone status from the Virtual Keypad app.” Fully supervised alarm communication The new communicator nicely rounds out DMP’s DualCom line of commercial fire products with a commercial burglary listed unit. Like each of the communicators, the DualComN is designed with integrated primary and secondary communication in a single design. By using the network connectivity as the primary communication path, the system will receive the fast speeds of the IP connection whenever possible. The secondary cellular path picks up communication almost instantly However, if the primary IP path drops out for any reason, the secondary cellular path picks up communication almost instantly. Each Com Series module also has built-in LTE cellular backup that provides a fully supervised alarm communication path over AT&T’s or Verizon’s LTE networks. As with earlier-generation products, the LTE communicators are designed to work with digital cellular service from SecureCom Wireless™ — enabling dealers to get systems up and running quickly.
