The DualCom Pro 4G Radio Module allows you to upgrade an existing/new DualCom Pro installation with an additional 4G signalling path. This Module can be remotely located inside the building using the supplied Radio Module Enclosure by connecting to the RS422 Data-Bus (max cable distance 50m). Locating the Radio Module away from the DualCom Pro enables the installation to benefit from better radio signal in other parts of the building and increases the security of your system.
When using an additional plug on board (i.e. 16 Pin input card or Module Capture Module) you must install the second Radio Module in the Radio Module Enclosure. Where not using an additional plug on board you can plug the Radio Module directly on to the DualCom Pro using the AUX port.

Using the 4G Radio/WiFi Module Enclosure
Connecting the DualCom Pro 4G Radio Module directly onto the device
The 4G Radio Module has a block of DIP-switches located under the Data-Bus Terminals. The table below describes their functionality.
DIP Switch | Function | Configuration |
DIP 1 | RS422/485 EOL | Switch to ON if running on remote RS422 Bus |
DIP 2 | RS422 EOL | Switch to ON if running on remote RS422 Bus |
DIP 3 | RS485 Mode | Always leave as OFF. |
DIP 4 | Radio Module Signal Strength |
Switch to OFF to show radio module 1 signal strength Switch to ON to show radio module 2 signal strength |
Where the 4G Radio Module is taking its power from the DualCom Pro, a maximum cable run of 50 meters must not be exceeded. If additional cable length is required, a local power source is required to supply the 4G Radio Module with power.
