Honeywell CELL3DB25KT

NOTE: This kit was formerly known as the Honeywell GSM3DB25KT. It is now known as the Honeywell CELL3DB25KT. It will work with the newer LTE communicators for the VISTA, LYNX Touch, and Lyric Systems.

The Honeywell CELL3DB25KT is an AlarmNet antenna kit with a 25’ extension cable. The CELL3DB25KT includes the CELL-ANT3DB weatherproof external antenna that can be added to an AlarmNet cellular alarm monitoring communicator or dual path alarm communicator to increase the cellular signal strength. The CELL3DB25KT also includes every other item needed to connect the CELL-ANT3DB antenna to your AlarmNet alarm monitoring communicator. The 7670F mounting bracket is used to mount the CELL-ANT3DB on a flat surface. The WA7626-CA adapter cable, the K14207LF adapter cable and the 7626-25hc coax cable are the three connection cables used to bridge the gap between the alarm monitoring communicator and the external antenna. The CELL3DB25KT antenna kit has everything you need to add an external antenna to your AlarmNet alarm monitoring communicator, with one exception. If you are using the Resideo LTEM-PA or Resideo LTEM-PV, then you will need to purchase an Resideo ADPT-LTEMP adapter separately in order to connect it to the CELL-ANT3DB.

AlarmNet cellular alarm communicators like the Honeywell LTEM-XA allow you to send your Honeywell security system’s alarm signals to Alarm Grid’s central station via the AT&T cellular LTE or LTE Cat-M1 network. The cellular alarm communications are wireless and secure. Unfortunately, not every home in America has good cellular coverage. You can check the approximate cellular coverage at your address using the AT&T or Verizon coverage viewer on AT&T and Verizon's respective websites. However, just because your address shows that you have coverage, it does not guarantee that your cellular alarm communicator will receive a good signal once installed.

Some AlarmNet communicators may require additional cables and/or adapters to use the CELL3DB25KT:

• A Lyric LTE communicator also needs the CELL-EXTST.
• An LTEM-PIA/LTEM-PIV or LTEM-PA/LTEM-PV, will also need the ADPT-LTEMP.
• If you are using an LTEM-PXA/LTEM-PXV then you will also require the ADPT-LTEMPX.
• If you are using a PROLTE-A/PROLTE-V2, then you will also require a PROLTE-EXTCX adapter which only comes in the PROLTE-ANT and is not sold separately.

None of these adapters are included in the CELL3DB25KT kit.

Many things inside your home can reduce the cellular signal strength and prevent your cellular alarm signals from reaching Alarm Grid’s central station. Lead paint, metal studs, reinforced concrete, and many other building materials can interfere with the signal for your cellular alarm communicator. Unfortunately, you will not know the exact cellular signal strength until you have installed the alarm communicator inside your home. By that time, it may be too late to try and choose a better installation spot for cellular reception.

If you have upgraded to an LTE communicator, and your AlarmNet cellular or dual path communicator is having signaling issues, you may need to add an external antenna. The external antenna increases the signal gain for the cellular communicator and allows you to move the cellular point of reception to the best possible spot. With the CELL3DB25KT antenna kit, you will have 25’ of cable extension so that you can mount your external antenna either inside at a spot with better reception, or outside the home, where most potential impediments to cellular signal will be eliminated.
