Connect the Alternate Phone Cord to the Alarm System
If uControl is your first alarm-monitoring service, it is possible that your alarm
system might not have the proper connections to your home telephone line. Alarm
systems are designed to transmit alarm events through the telephone cable. The
uControl Link needs to monitor the telephone cable to capture these alarm events.
If your alarm circuit board is not connected to your phone cable, then you will need
to install the gray uControl alternate phone cable that connects the phone ports on
the alarm circuit board to the uControl hub. Complete the following steps to
connect the gray uControl phone cable.
Step 1: Open the alarm box
• Open the alarm box cover
a. If there are any screws holding your alarm
box door closed, use a screwdriver to
remove all screws holding the alarm box
front cover in place.
b. If the alarm box is secured by a lock, use
your key to open the front cover.
Step 2: Connect the gray
uControl cable to the phone
ports
• Find the gray uControl cable
a. Find the gray phone cable in the uControl package. This cable has a modular plug on one
end and four colored wires on the other end.
Note: In this procedure, you need to insert the tips of the four colored wires into
specific ports on the circuit board. However, the port numbers for the brown, gray,
green, and red wires differ between alarm models. Before you begin this
procedure, see the “List of Phone Ports” on page 29, find your alarm model in the
list, and write down the port numbers for each of the colored wires.
