Scantronic COM-DATA-4G-WIFI: Plug On Communicator for Data, Wi-Fi and GSM

Full Description

Unrivalled Reliability with the COM-DATA-4G-WIFI Dual-Path Communicator

For security installers where system uptime is non-negotiable, the Scantronic COM-DATA-4G-WIFI delivers the ultimate communication solution. This plug-on module ensures that your installed Eaton alarm panels maintain a constant connection to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and the SecureConnect app platform, even if one path fails.

By combining the low-cost speed of a site’s existing Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz) with the dependable backup of multi-band 4G/2G cellular technology, this unit automatically switches paths to guarantee signal delivery. This dual-path functionality is essential for maintaining compliance with professional standards requiring redundant communication.

Seamless Integration and Professional Compliance Utilising the same compact, plug-on design as the standard COM-DATA-WIFI, this model easily mounts to compatible Scantronic panel PCBs (like the i-on range). It boasts broad cellular compatibility, supporting a wide range of UK frequencies (including 700/800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz).

Rated to EN 50131 Grade 2 and achieving ATS SP2, the COM-DATA-4G-WIFI provides the confidence installers need for critical residential and commercial installations (Environmental Class II). Its lightweight and low-power design make it a simple, powerful upgrade.

FAQs

What is the ATS SP2 rating? ATS (Alarm Transmission System) SP2 (Security Performance 2) means the communicator is capable of reporting a fault in the primary communication path (e.g., the Wi-Fi connection) to the ARC within 100 seconds when the system is unset, ensuring maximum reliability.

Does this module require external antennas? While the COM-DATA-4G-WIFI has integrated antennas, for optimum performance in poor signal environments (like metal cabinets or basements), you should consider adding:

• COM-ANT-01 (External GSM Antenna) for the 4G/2G signal.
• COM-ANT-02 (External WiFi Antenna) for the Wi-Fi signal.

Do I need a separate SIM card for the 4G path? Yes, to enable the cellular backup path, a compatible 4G SIM card from your chosen provider is required and must be fitted into the module.
