Quick answer

What does CSL DualCom do?

CSL DualCom transmits alarm events from compatible fire or security control equipment to an alarm receiving centre. Dual path GradeShift Pro options use two independent communication paths so signalling can continue if one path fails.

CSL with we

Alarm detection is only useful if the required signal reaches the right response route.

we lists CSL among its Brand Partners and already provides monitored alarm services.

CSL signalling can form part of a monitored intruder or fire alarm system where the selected product, grade and alarm receiving centre arrangement are appropriate.

Explore monitored alarm services

CSL provides critical connectivity and alarm signalling products for fire and security systems. The DualCom Pro range includes single path and dual path solutions.

GradeShift Pro 2 can use two radio paths or a LAN and radio combination. CSL states that each SIM on the Radio and Radio version operates on an independent network for resilience.

The device connects to compatible alarm control equipment and forwards alarm conditions to the alarm receiving centre through CSL's signalling infrastructure.

CSL signalling options

Choose the signalling path around the required risk and grade.

The correct signalling product depends on the alarm system, monitoring requirements, available connectivity and applicable grade.

01

Radio signalling

Use managed cellular connectivity where a radio signalling path is appropriate.

02

LAN signalling

Use a compatible customer network connection as part of the selected signalling arrangement.

03

Dual path signalling

Use two independent paths to improve resilience where the required grade calls for it.

04

Fire signalling

Compatible DualCom products can be used for fire alarm transmission when selected and installed for the application.

05

Security signalling

Transmit intruder alarm events from compatible Grade 1 to Grade 4 systems depending on product and installation.

06

Remote management

CSL Live and My Base support installer management and selected remote service functions.

How alarm signalling works

The signalling device sits between the protected premises alarm system and the alarm receiving centre.

What we provide

Signalling installation, upgrades, testing and handover.

We can incorporate supported CSL signalling into new monitored systems or review signalling during a maintenance takeover.

01

New signalling

Select and install the signalling path appropriate to the alarm and monitoring requirement.

02

Signalling upgrades

Review legacy signalling and replace or regrade supported equipment where required.

03

ARC handover

Coordinate supported monitoring changes to reduce gaps during a provider transition.

04

Testing and maintenance

Test alarm transmission, path failure and system reporting as part of the agreed service.

Changing monitoring or provider?

The signalling handover should not create a gap in cover.

We can review the existing alarm signalling route, current monitoring arrangement and supported control equipment, then plan the changeover around continuity of alarm transmission.

How it works

From signalling survey to tested alarm transmission.

Survey

We review the site, existing equipment, risks and the result the system needs to deliver.

Specify

We define the equipment, configuration, interfaces and signalling or monitoring requirements.

Install

Our engineers install, configure, test and commission the system.

Support

We explain the system and discuss ongoing maintenance, faults, upgrades and future expansion.

Frequently asked questions

CSL DualCom signalling questions.

DualCom is CSL's professional alarm signalling range used to transmit fire or security alarm events to an alarm receiving centre.

GradeShift Pro 2 is CSL's dual path signalling solution. It can use two radio paths or a LAN and radio combination depending on the selected variant.

Dual path signalling provides two communications routes so the system can report a path failure and continue using the remaining path, subject to the selected grade and installation.

CSL publishes panel guidance for Orisec and lists Orisec among supported serial connection options on DualCom Pro 2.

We advertises monitoring handover as part of its provider switching process and can review supported signalling during the transition.

We install and review compatible CSL alarm signalling for fire and security systems that require managed alarm transmission.
