ADDING A GSM-4G RADIO TO BRINKS 4000B

When adding a radio on the brinks control panel be sure to check the panel version before adding the GSM-4G. The system will only accept the GSM-4G if the panel has the latest firmware under the 4000B updates.

Once you've determined that the panel is compatible find the best location to install the radio. After you install the radio use the wire harness to power the radio off the secondary power supply from the control panel. You will need to wire the remaining two wires to the bus on the PCB to match the wiring on the radio.

Now that the radio is ready for programming let's get started. First connect your programmer and login to the panel. Next request the panel to learn in new devices. Now that the radio has been found and added let's check the signal strength. Click on the new GSM and continue pressing enter until you see the radio bars. If you have 3 or more your ready to move on.

You will need to go to standard programming> account> enter> enter>  when you see account 2 add the same account number and phone number as account 1. Now you will need to back out and go to COMM and create a COMM 2. After pressing 2 under COMM be sure to choose GSM-SIA and move to Back Up and choose yes. Unplug the land line if you have one and send a customer test. Congratulations on installing your first radio on the new Brinks panel.

  1. For anyone who sees this and doesn't have a programmer, I've written some software that will emulate one:

    It'll even tell you the installer code if you don't know it.
