Trikdis GT 4G smart communicator

The Trikdis GT 4G smart communicator combines the capabilities of the G16 and G16T communicators.

It can be directly connected to Paradox, DSC, and other alarm systems via data bus (DATA BUS) or serial port (SERIAL PORT). For unsupported alarm control panels, the "T" version communicators can also be connected using the traditional TIP RING interface.

Data is transmitted over the 4G mobile network to the monitoring center and the user.

The user application, as with all smart Trikdis devices, is the Protegus 2 Mobile and Web application. With the communicator, the alarm system can be armed and disarmed remotely via the mobile application, enabling control and monitoring of additional connected devices.

Alarm panels connectable via data bus or serial port

The Trikdis E16, G16, and GET can be used with all alarm panels listed below. The great benefit using the special Trikdis communicators, that events are received via the data bus or serial port.

Control panels marked red can be controlled directly from the serial port / data bus without any further wiring.

Control panels marked black means these control panels get the events from the serial port / data bus, but for remotely controlling the alarm system, key-switch zones and additional wiring is required

Main Features:

• Power Supply: 10-18 V DC
• 4G mobile network IP module, communicator
• Can be connected directly to many popular alarm control panels via data bus or serial port; otherwise, connection via telephone line (TIP RING) is possible
• When the Protegus 2 service is enabled, events are first sent to the monitoring center before being forwarded to application users (parallel sending is also possible)

User Features:

• The owner receives notifications about alarm system events through the free Protegus 2 Mobile and Web application
• "Push" notifications and alarm sounds for event and alarm alerts
• Remote arming and disarming

Controllable Outputs:

• 2 flexible contacts that can function as inputs or programmable outputs (PGM OUT). If direct control is not supported, they can be used for controlling 2 partitions.
• RS485 port for additional compatible expansion modules and devices
• Outputs can be controlled via the Protegus 2 application
• Control of connected devices (lighting, gates, ventilation, heating, irrigation, etc.)
• Inputs and controllable outputs can be expanded using the iO8 expansion module via the RS485 port

Quick Installation

• Settings can be saved to a file, providing a starting point for configuring another device
• Fast and easy configuration and firmware updates via USB using the TrikdisConfig programming software
• Remote programming is available through the TrikdisConfig configuration software or the Protegus 2 application
• Two access levels for communicator configuration and management: Administrator, Installer
• USB-C port for programming (replacing the previously used mini USB)

Monitoring Center Connection:

• The module transmits messages to the monitoring center in Contact ID format via IP
• Compatible with universal SIA DC-09 and SUR-GUARD TL150 receivers
• Automatic switch to the secondary backup channel if the primary monitoring connection is lost
• Reporting to up to two different monitoring receivers, with a backup channel for each

You'll Need a Cable for Connection

If the G16 or E16 communicator is being connected to a Paradox alarm panel, you'll need a cable that can be connected to the CRP2 serial port as well.

If you're connecting it to a Texecom alarm panel, choose the CRP4 cable!

Connection to Data Bus or Serial Port, What Does This Mean?

In this case, the communicator is practically taught to understand the alarm panel's own language (one-way communication). Just like operators or other peripheral devices, the communicator sees events and will transmit the appropriate information according to the settings.

Direct Control

In the case of directly controllable panels, the communicator not only receives notifications from the panel but also a part of the functions available on the keypad becomes accessible (bidirectional communication).

• Activation / deactivation of the entire system or partition using a user code
• Detection of zone statuses
• Zone bypass
• Automatic mapping of partitions and zones
