SC3100 Introduction 1.0 SAFECOM Telemetry Communications System SAFECOM is a long range telemetry communications system for monitoring life safety security alarm panels which are remotely located at a customer site. The SAFECOM system utilizes specially designed telemetry transmitters and receivers to provide a secure and reliable radio communications link between remote alarm panels and a Central Monitoring Station. The information provided to the Central Monitoring Station allows secu

SC3100 Introduction The use of a SAFECOM type or equivalent repeater significantly increases the coverage area (range). Radio area coverage and reception ranges are also dependent on the extent of a number of environmental effects, e.g., propagation losses due to atmospheric conditions, and the proximity of the radio transmission and reception paths to dense foliage and metal structures. The majority of SAFECOM Radio Communicators are ordered to TX and RX in the 450-470 MHz UHF frequency

SC3100 Introduction 1.3 SC3100, Full Data Transfer, Radio Communicator The SC3100 Radio Communicator is a derivative of the capabilities and features found on the SAFECOM SC4000. The SC3100 and the SC4000 share the same two-way communications characteristics and receiving- and-sending functions of host alarm panel signals. However, the SC3100 is a non-UL Listed device and is not configured with inputs or output relays. The SC3100 is normally configured as a stand-alone device for interfa

SC3100 SC3100 Circuit Board The battery restore message will NOT be sent by the SC3100 until the charge on the SC3100 Battery has reached a minimum of 11.5 VDC during transmit TX ACTIVE. Note: The SC3100 battery voltage is only tested when the radio transceiver is transmitting. Note: The SC3100 internal battery is shipped from Bosch Security Systems disconnected. The installer MUST open the SC3100 enclosure and connect the internal battery connector. It is then recommended that the SC310

SC3100 Pre-Installation Requirements 3.5 SC3100 Radio Communicator Location The SC3100 Radio Communicator is designed to be installed inside of the host alarm panel. If the size of the host alarm panel will not permit mounting the SC3100 inside or for special SC3100 configurations, then the SC3100 enclosure can be mounted directly to a vertical surface, like a wall, using the keyhole mounting holes provided on the rear of the SC3100 enclosure. This type of mounting will also require the us
