Description
The DSC TL880LECVZ N is a Verizon LTE and Ethernet dual-path alarm communicator designed for compatible DSC PowerSeries Neo and PowerSeries Pro control panels. Built for use with Alarm.com services, the TL880LECVZ N provides reliable primary or backup alarm communications while adding remote system management, Z-Wave functionality, image sensor support and visual verification capabilities. By combining cellular LTE and Internet communication in one module, it helps improve transmission redundancy and reduces dependence on traditional telephone lines.
The TL880LECVZ N supports both Verizon LTE cellular communication and Ethernet/IP connectivity, giving compatible DSC systems two communication paths for added flexibility and redundancy.
The communicator can be used as a primary communication path or as a backup to another reporting method, helping maintain alarm transmission if one path becomes unavailable.
This communicator is designed for Alarm.com interactive services, allowing compatible systems to support remote arming and disarming, status monitoring, event reporting and other connected security functions through supported web and mobile interfaces.
Integrated Z-Wave functionality can also support compatible automation devices when enabled through the Alarm.com service platform.
The TL880LECVZ N includes image sensor functionality, allowing compatible Alarm.com image sensors and visual verification features to be integrated with supported PowerSeries Neo and PowerSeries Pro systems.
Visual verification can help provide additional context for alarm events by allowing supported images associated with an event to be viewed through the Alarm.com ecosystem or forwarded to a compatible monitoring station configuration.

The TL880LECVZ N supports remote panel programming, firmware updates and diagnostic functions through supported DSC and Alarm.com tools. This can reduce the need for on-site service calls when compatible remote-management functions are available.
Signal-strength and trouble indicators also help installers evaluate communication status during installation and service.
The communicator can be installed with the alarm panel or mounted remotely when required. DSC documentation indicates that compatible remote mounting can extend the communicator up to approximately 100 feet from the control panel when used with the appropriate PCL-422 module.
Using both cellular LTE and Internet communication gives an alarm system multiple transmission options. If one communication path becomes unavailable, the system can use the alternate path where supported by the monitoring configuration. This makes the TL880LECVZ N particularly useful for businesses and residences moving away from traditional telephone-line alarm reporting.
The TL880LECVZ N is intended for use with Alarm.com services and compatible DSC PowerSeries Neo or PowerSeries Pro control panels. Alarm.com activation, monitoring services and applicable service plans are typically provided separately through an authorized Alarm.com dealer or monitoring provider. Verify the control-panel model, firmware revision, cellular coverage and Alarm.com service requirements before ordering.
