Installation
It is mandatory that the power be removed from the system
before any wiring changes are performed on the Skyroute
module. Neglecting to do so will result in damage to the Sky-
route transceiver.

Mounting the Skyroute Transceiver
The Skyroute transceiver can be mounted in the upper right
hand corner of the panel’s cabinet through the knockout. The
Skyroute transceiver case attaches to the panel’s cabinet
through the use of clips and two screws.

Mounting the Antenna
NOTE: The antenna should always be attached to the
Skyroute transceiver for proper operation. The unit will
not function properly and/or be damaged if the
antenna is not installed.

The antenna attaches to the TNC connector of the Skyroute
transceiver. The antenna should be mounted as high above
ground level as possible while at the same time care should be
taken not to place the antenna under a radio frequency shield of
any kind. For example, do not mount the antenna directly
below a metal roofing overhang. The Skyroute transceiver
functions best when installed in an unobstructed line of sight to
the cellular antenna site.

Keybus Connection
The Skyroute transmitter has 4 terminals marked red, black,
yellow and green. Connect these four terminals to the 4 termi-
nals on the main control panel marked Keybus (red, black, yel-
low and green).

Bell IN Terminal
This terminal is used to power the Cellemetry modem of the
Skyroute module. This connects to the BELL + on the control
panel. No other wire should be connected to the Bell+ of the
control panel.

panel. No other wire should be connected to the Bell+ of the
control panel.
An extra power supply can be used to power the modem if it is
not located near the main control panel or is located where the
system cannot provide enough power for the transmissions.
Connect the positive of the power supply to the BELL IN and
the negative to the COM to ensure proper grounding (see dia-
gram on this page).

Connect TAM and COM to a normally closed switch that will
be used to monitor tamper. If no tamper switch is desired place
a wire between TAM and COM.

5.12 Secure Installation
For a secure installation, the Skyroute transceiver and its host
panel must be locked and protected. An instant trip IR sensor
would be the most appropriate for supervision of the panel. A
cabinet tamper switch connected to the TAM terminal of the
Skyroute transceiver is also suggested.
