JABLOTRON JA-194Y-LITE Communicator Module
Installation
The module is to be installed directly on the control panel’s motherboard using a flat connector labelled GSM Module (see the control panel installation manual).
- Prepare a suitable SIM card (nano SIM). It must be activated (test is using a mobile phone), and DATA (GPRS, LTE) services must be enabled. If the SIM card requires a PIN code, deactivate it using the mobile phone.
- The communicator works with prepaid cards; however, it is recommended to use a SIM card with a monthly plan to make sure the communicator works properly.
- Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot.
- Disconnect the control panel from its power supply (backup battery, USB, and mains electricity)
- Insert the communicator module into the system connector on the control panel and use two screws (1) to fix it to the motherboard.
- Attach the GSM antenna to the connector (2) on the communicator module (included with the JA-194Y-LITE). When installing the antenna, follow the orientation shown in Fig. 1.

Communicator Activation
- Before connecting the power supply, check whether the communicator is properly fixed to the motherboard, the antenna is attached, and the SIM card is inserted into the SIM card slot.
- Removing the communicator module to insert the SIM card is not necessary.
- Connect the control panel’s power supply (backup battery and then the mains electricity).
- A flashing red communicator LED indicates connecting to a GSM network and will stop flashing within 1 minute = connected.
- Disconnect the power supply if the red LED indicator keeps flashing.
- Insert the SIM card into a mobile phone to make sure the SIM card works correctly and does not require a PIN code.
- Remain in Service mode and close the control panel box.
- Configure the communicator settings using the F-Link software (see the Control panel installation manual).
Communication to ARC and Communication Monitoring
- The communicator periodically checks the status of the connection to the ARC, and if there is a problem in communication with the ARC, a fault is triggered.
- The communicator works in the Forward mode – it receives a message from the control panel and forwards it immediately; events are not buffered and sent later.
Technical specifications
- Module power supply: 8–15V DC (from the control panel)
- Average current: Consumption is approximately 9 mA (depends on the GSM signal strength). Peak current consumption
- GSM communication band: 720 mA
- 2G (GSM, EDGE): 900/1800 MHz
- 3G: 900/2100 MHz (B8, B1)
- 4G (LTE): 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz (B20, B8, B3, B1, B7)
- I&HAS classification: Security grade 2/Environmental class II (according to EN 50131-1)
| ATS class 1) | ATS interface | Transmission protocol |
| SP3 – SP5 | GSM-GPRS (IP) | JABLO IP ANSI SIA DC-09 |
| DP4 2) | LAN (IP) GSM-GPRS (IP) |
JABLO IP ANSI SIA DC-09 |
| Notes:
1) The ATS classes listed in the ATS interface configuration with a transmission protocol are the maximum of what is possible to declare when creating an alarm communication path. The operational classification has to be determined by the installer after the ARC’s agreement. The alarm communication path is created according to CLC/TS 50136-7 application guidelines. 2) DP4 is supported only in the configuration with the LAN communicator. Warning: LAN communication provided via WIFI or GSM is considered radio communication; therefore, it is not possible to use a GSM communicator and a WIFI WAN network when a DPx path is created. Explanatory notes: SPx: One communication path to an ARC (Single path) = 1 transmission medium DPx: Dual communication path to an ARC (Dual path) = 2 different transmission media, for example, Radio communication (GSM) and Metallic or Optical cables (PSTN, LAN). |

FAQs
What is the primary function of the JA-194Y-LITE module?
By connecting your Jablotron alarm system to GSM networks, the JA-194Y-LITE communicator module allows for remote alerts and mobile device control.
Is the JA-194Y-LITE compatible with all Jablotron alarm panels?
Certain Jablotron control panels are compatible with the module; always verify compatibility by consulting the panel’s specs.
How do I install the JA-194Y-LITE communicator?
To install, insert an active SIM card and attach the module to the appropriate connection on the control panel. It is advised to have a professional installation to guarantee a correct setup.
How does the communicator send alerts?
The module uses GPRS or SMS to send notifications, system status, and alarm events to pre-configured phone numbers or monitoring services.
What should I do if the module loses GSM signal?
Verify the network coverage and SIM card status in your location. To increase signal strength, move the module or, if one is available, use an external antenna.
Does the module support 3G or 4G networks?
Make sure that 2G service is still available in your location from your mobile provider.
