Key Instructions
• The same unit works for Vista, Power Series, CADDX NX, UTC Concord 4 &
Napco GEM P816.
• Selectable switch determines panel compatibility.
• DO NOT MOUNT INSIDE METAL CAN – there are radios on the boards that
need to be in free-air to communicate.
• Communicator must be connected to a 12V power supply with battery
backup, such as the control panel's aux power output.
• The communicator should be mounted in a location that will optimize
cellular signal strength. Mount as high in the building as possible.
• RE928X communicates with the Vista 15P/20P via AUI device 2. Enable
AUI 2 in the Vista.

Wiring Instructions
NOTE: Some programming must be done PRIOR to connection
Maximum cable lengths shown in the table below, this assumes the
communicator is the only device attached to the cable. If multiple devices
share the same cable, the maximum cable length must be derated accordingly.

IC Notice

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause interference, and
(2)This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1)l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2)l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

This device contains IC: 5131A-CE910DUAL

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut

fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de
brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
typed'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
