This module is designed to be easy to install and use, and it offers support for Alarm.com’s extensive set of security, monitoring, signaling, and control features.     Contact Information                                                              For additional information and support on Alarm.com products and services, please visit www.alarm.com/dealer or contact Alarm.com technical support at 1-866-834-0470.  Copyright © 2012 Alarm.com. All rights reserved.  Overview                                                                                  • The broadband module is compatible ONLY with the Impassa panels.   • All of the customer features are identical to the features your customers are used to with their cellular modules with the exception of two-way voice over GSM.  Two-way voice over GSM is not supported on the broadband module. • Your customer’s cable/DSL internet modem and router must have power in order for the broadband module to send signals.  Unlike Alarm.com’s module, these devices cannot run off the control panel’s battery backup.  Note that if the router is connected to a backup battery, powersave mode will not go into effect if power is lost. • The broadband module must be installed behind a router.  The customer’s router must have DHCP enabled and MAC filtering disabled for the broadband module to connect to Alarm.com’s backend.  (Note: These are the default settings on most routers.)  Account Creation                                                                   Before installing an Alarm.com Broadband Module in an Impassa system,  a new customer account needs to be created with Alarm.com. We  recommend creating the account at least 24 hours in advance of installation  to ensure that the radio is activated prior to installation.   To activate an account go to www.alarm.com/dealer and login. Under the  “Customers” heading at the top left of the page click on “Create New  Customer”. You will need the following customer information to create the  account:  • Customer Address  • Customer Phone Number  • Customer E-mail  • Preferred login name for the customer  • Alarm.com Radio Serial Number   At the end of the account creation process you will be able to print a  Welcome Letter for the customer that has their login information and  temporary password for the Alarm.com website.         Installation                                                                              Follow these guidelines during installation:   • Do not exceed the panel total output power when using panel power for the Broadband Module, hardwired sensors, and /or sirens. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for details. Only one Alarm.com Broadband Module can be used per Impassa panel.   Tools and supplies needed  You will need the following tools and supplies:   • Small flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers  • Screws (included)  • 16 pin ribbon cable (included)    Module Insertion and Antenna Installation  Note: Refer to this section only if the panel did not come pre-installed with the module.  Before installing the module, disconnect the battery and AC power from the  panel.   1) Open the panel by removing the cover screw then insterting a small slotted screwdriver between the front and back covers and gently twisting to separate.    Figure 1: Front View of Impassa Panel     2) The module compartment can be found behind the front panel that  swings down, to the right of the battery compartment as seen in Fig. 2  below.    Figure 2: Module Compartment for Impassa Panel      3) Insert the module by angling the end of the module downwards, making

Push the other end of the module downwards, until it sits below the plastic tab located at the bottom of the panel.  4)  Connect the module to the panel via the 16 pin ribbon cable. The ribbon connector is located at the top of the module. On the panel the ribbon connector is located directly across from the connector on the module.  5)  Connect the Broadband-enabled Alarm.com system to the Internet using a standard Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. The cable should be connected at one end to the local Internet access point (network router), and at the other end to the RJ-45 jack on the Alarm.com module.   Power Up                                                                                 Reconnect panel battery and AC power. When a broadband module is connected to a powered control panel, the LEDs at the bottom of the module will become active (see Table 1 on page 4). It may take a few moments after power up for the LEDs to become active. If the LEDs do not light up at all, ensure that the module has been fully connected to the panel via the ribbon cable then perform a full power cycle by following these steps:  1. Disconnect the battery leads and unplug the panel power transformer from AC power.  2. Verify that the module is inserted securely. 3. Connect battery leads to the battery. Make sure to observe polarity (red to + and black to –) and to keep the wires outside of the tab holding them in place.  4. Plug the panel power transformer into the AC outlet.    It is important to plug the battery in before plugging in the transformer, otherwise the panel will issue a “System Low Battery” message regardless of  the battery voltage level.  Note that power cycling will clear existing banners.  Comm Test (Module Registration)                          To initiate module communication with Alarm.com the first time, perform a “Comm test”.  To perform the comm test on an Impassa press [*][6] followed by the master code and [4].   The Impassa panel will let you know when the comm test has completed by activating the siren output on medium volume for 2 seconds followed by full volume alarm for 2 seconds. All display lights and LCD pixels turn on. This indicates that Alarm.com has received and acknowledged the signal. This does not guarantee that the signal went through to a central station; it confirms that the Alarm.com Operations Center received the signal. The central station should be contacted directly to verify that the signal was received on the correct account and that the Central Station routing settings have been set up correctly. The signal may not go through to the central station if (a) the Central Station Account settings were entered incorrectly on the Alarm.com Dealer Site or (b) if Alarm.com was unable to send the signal successfully to the Central Station receivers.   Panel Settings                                                                         Night Arming The Impassa panel has the ability to night arm, which arms the perimeter and restricts movement to designated interior areas. Night arming via the panel should be restricted to one of the five function keys. For more information on Night Arming and how to program the function keys see the installation guide provided with the panel.   Panel Settings Automatically Change Some panel settings are changed automatically when the broadband module is connected to the control panel. These settings should not be altered. They  are:   Clock: The broadband module sets the panel clock when it connects to Alarm.com and then updates it every 18 hours. It is important to select the correct panel time zone on the Alarm.com website, or the panel time will not be accurate. If a system is powered up before the customer account has been created, the time zone will default to Eastern Time  Specifications                                                                           Compatibility Impassa panels  Power requirements 3.9V Standby current 3.9mA Peak current 325mA Operating temperature 14 to 131°F (-10 to 55°C) Storage temperature -30 to 140°F (-34 to 60°C) Max. relative humidity 90% non-condensing Network Broadband Dimensions (H x W)  3.25 x 4.25 in.
