PowerCom
The PowerCom Communicator allows you to upgrade existing intrusion panels with new communication technologies and is UL-listed for Commercial Burglary takeovers. Since the communicator has all the power it needs, this alleviates drawing power from the panel. This self-powered package solution comes in a single white enclosure. Program your own account number to easily work around locked panels.
This DualSIM model can use Verizon and AT&T networks. Choose to activate one provider or both!

Communicator Serial Number in Serial 3 Messages
This update allows you to enable Serial 3 messages to include the communicator serial number.

This update requires one of the following:
- SCS-VR Virtual Receiver
- SCS-1R Network Enabled Receiver with the SCS-150 Main Processor Card at firmware Version 108 (9/23/25).
