Properties

4G LTE, Universal Bus

The G16 is a high-performance cellular communicator that connects directly to the serial or keypad bus of major alarm panels (DSC, Paradox, UTC Interlogix, and more). It acts as a smart bridge, upgrading legacy security systems with high-speed 4G LTE connectivity, professional CMS reporting, and full remote control via the Protegus 2 mobile application.

Direct Bus Integration

Connects directly to the data bus of supported DSC, Paradox, Texecom, and Caddx panels. It reads full event data and allows remote control without any additional hardware.

Smart App Control

Fully integrated with the Protegus 2 ecosystem. Users receive real-time "Push" notifications and can remotely Arm/Disarm the system or control connected appliances.

Dual-Purpose I/O

Features 3 flexible terminals that can be configured either as inputs (NC, NO, EOL, DEOL) or as programmable outputs (OC type, 0.15A). Expandable via iO-8 modules.

Industrial Reliability

Ensures 24/7 connectivity with 30-second supervised polling to the CMS. Supports parallel reporting to two different receivers and offers AES-128 encryption.

Detailed System Capabilities

  • Direct data bus connection for DSC (PowerSeries), Paradox (Spectra, Magellan, Digiplex), UTC Interlogix (Caddx NX), Texecom (Premier), and more.

  • Real-time system status synchronization with the mobile app.

  • Captures full event information: zone alarms, user codes, and system faults.

  • No need for additional PSTN programming on most bus-connected panels.

  • Supports 4G LTE (Cat-1) cellular networks with automatic 2G fallback.

  • Reporting protocols: TRK (TRIKDIS), SIA DC-09 (2007/2012), and SUR-GARD (TL150).

  • High-security AES-128 message encryption.

  • Parallel reporting to CMS and simultaneous user notification via Protegus 2.

  • Remote Arm/Disarm of up to 8 areas (depending on the panel model).

  • 3 onboard I/O terminals for local monitoring and remote appliance control (gates, lights, heating).

  • Expandable up to 32 additional I/O points using iO-8 modules (for 4G models).

  • Direct control of panel PGM outputs via the serial bus interface.

  • Quick local setup via USB Mini-B port or full remote configuration via TrikdisConfig.

  • Two separate access levels: Installer and CMS Administrator.

  • Remote firmware updates to ensure the latest security features and panel compatibility.

  • Event buffer for reliable reporting during temporary network outages.
