Overview
The 3G4000 is a universal wireless alarm communicator that connects to a panel's phone dialer output (Tip/Ring capture) rather than a brand-specific module bus. Works with many manufacturers' panels when wired per guide.

Before You Install or Replace One
- Confirm exact model number on the communicator label matches the install manual.
- Verify host panel family — Keybus PowerSeries, Neo Corbus, MAXSYS Combus, IMPASSA integrated, or universal dialer-capture are not interchangeable.
- Confirm monitoring receiver and account accept this communicator format (Contact ID, SIA, IP, cellular).
- Check carrier/network generation (3G sunset, LTE band, Ethernet path) for your region.
- Add communicator current draw to panel battery standby calculation where the module loads from panel bus power.

Host panels & systems
| Host system | How it connects |
|---|---|
| Most panels with POTS dialer output | Tip/Ring line-seizure wiring — not Keybus/Corbus module enrollment |
| DSC PowerSeries (when used as dialer capture) | Parallel to panel phone line — not the same as GS2060 module slot |
Related accessories
- RJ-31X or equivalent line-seizure jack
- Monitoring receiver accepting 3G4000 supervision

- Panels without dialer output or with IP-only reporting
Central station / receiver notes
Universal and T-Link products require a monitoring receiver that accepts the communicator's protocol and supervision. Confirm with your central station before install.
