1 Description
The communicator is designed to transmit event messages from the control panel to the CMS (Central Monitoring Station) and the Protegus2 application. The GT+ cellular communicator can be directly connected to control panels (DSC, Paradox, UTC Interlogix (CADDX), Texecom, Innerrange, Honeywell) or to a telephone communicator (which supports the Contact ID communication protocol transmitted by DTMF tones) of the control panel. Communicator transmits full event information to the Central Monitoring Station. Communicator also works with Protegus2 application. With Protegus2 users can control their alarm system remotely and get notifications about security system events. Protegus2 app is compatible with all security alarm panels from various manufacturers that are supported by the GT+ communicator. Communicator can transmit event notifications to the Central Monitoring Station and work with Protegus2 simultaneously. Features Connects to the control panel's serial or keyboard bus or telephone line (TIP/RING). Sends events to monitoring station receiver: Sends events to TRIKDIS software or hardware receivers that work with any monitoring software. Can send event messages to SIA DC-09 receivers. Can send event messages to SUR-GARD receivers. The annex has a table for converting Contact ID codes to SIA codes. Connection supervision by polling to IP receiver every 30 seconds (or by user defined period). Backup channel, that will be used if connection with the primary channel is lost. With parallel communication channels events can be sent to two receivers at same time. When Protegus service is enabled, events are first delivered to CMS, and only then are sent to app users. Works with Protegus2 app: “Push” and special sound notifications informing about events. Remote system Arm/Disarm. Remote control of connected devices (lights, gates, ventilation systems, heating, sprinklers, etc.). Different user rights for administrator, installer and user. Notifies users: Users can be notified about events with Protegus2 app, SMS messages and calls. Controllable outputs and inputs: 2 double I/O terminals that can be set either as input (IN) or controllable output (OUT) terminals. Outputs controlled by the Protegus2 app and SMS messages. Add additional inputs and controllable outputs with iO-8 expanders. Quick setup: Settings can be saved to file and quickly written to other communicators. Two access levels for configuring the device for CMS administrator and for installer.

Events can be sent over several channels of communication. The primary and parallel communication channels can operate simultaneously, this way the communicator can send events to two receivers at the same time. Backup channels can be assigned for both primary and parallel channels, which will be used when the connection via the primary or parallel channel is interrupted. Communication is encoded and password protected. A TRIKDIS receiver is required for receiving and sending event information to the monitoring programs: For connection over IP - software receiver IPcom Windows/Linux, hardware IP/SMS receiver RL14 or multichannel receiver RM14. “Primary channel” settings group Communication type - select which method for connecting to the monitoring station receiver will be used: IP. Protocol - select in which coding the events should be sent: TRK8 (to TRIKDIS receivers), DC-09_2007 or DC-09_2012 (to universal receivers) , TL150 (to SUR-GUARD receivers). Encryption key - message encryption key. The key written to the communicator must match the receiver’s key. Domain or IP - enter the domain or IP address of the receiver. Port - enter the network port number of the receiver. TCP or UDP - select in which protocol (TCP or UDP) the events should be sent. “Parallel channel” settings group Events are transmitted in parallel with the first channel through this channel. When the second channel is enabled, events can be sent simultaneously to two receivers (e.g., local and centralized monitoring stations). Parallel channel settings are the same as described above. “Primary channel Backup” settings group Enable the backup channel mode to send events via backup channel if connection via primary channel is lost. Backup channel settings are same as described above. www.trikdis.com 28 September, 2025 Cellular communicator GT+ “Settings” tab “Settings” settings group Test period - TEST event period for testing the connection. Test events are sent as Contact ID messages and forwarded to the monitoring software. IP ping period – period for sending internal PING heartbeats. These messages are only sent via IP channel. The receiver will not forward PING messages to the monitoring software to avoid overloading it. Notifications will only be sent to the monitoring software if the receiver fails to receive PING messages from the device within the set time. By default, the “Connection lost” notification will be transmitted to the monitoring software if the PING message is not received by the receiver over a time period three times longer than set in the device. E.g. if the PING period is set for 3 minutes, the receiver will transfer the “Connection lost” notification if a PING message is not received within 9 minutes. PING heartbeats keep the active communication session between the device and the receiver. An active session is required for remote connection, control and configuration of the device. We recommend setting the PING period for no more than 5 minutes. Backup reporting after - indicates the number of unsuccessful attempts to send the message via Primary channel. If device fails to transmit specified number of times, the device will connect to transmit the messages via Backup channel. Return from backup after - time after which the GT+ will attempt to reconnect and transmit messages via the Primary channel. The settings are displayed when the DC-09_2007 or DC-09_2012 protocol is set in the communication channel Protocol field for sending events to universal receivers.
