Description
DSC PCL-422 Communicator Remote Mounting Module
Extend communicator placement up to 1,000 feet and simplify professional alarm system installations.
Product Overview
The DSC PCL-422 Communicator Remote Mounting Module is a professional installation accessory designed to extend the PC-Link connection between a compatible DSC alarm control panel and communicator. By allowing the communicator to be mounted remotely from the main enclosure, the PCL-422 helps reduce cabinet congestion, improve signal placement, simplify wiring management, and create cleaner, more organized installations.
Commonly deployed with DSC PowerSeries Neo communicators, the PCL-422 enables installers to position cellular or IP communication modules in locations that provide stronger network reception while keeping the main control panel secured in its preferred location. The module supports standard extension distances up to 50 feet and can support distances up to 1,000 feet when used with an additional power supply, making it an excellent solution for larger commercial buildings and challenging installation environments.

Why Installers Choose the DSC PCL-422
Security professionals frequently encounter situations where the ideal communicator location differs from the ideal control panel location. Cellular communicators may require placement near exterior walls for stronger signal reception, while control panels are often located in secured utility rooms or locked equipment closets. The PCL-422 solves this challenge by allowing the communicator to be mounted remotely while maintaining reliable communication with the control panel.
Ideal Applications
- PowerSeries Neo commercial installations
- Large residential security systems
- Buildings with weak cellular coverage at panel location
- Multi-room equipment installations
- Communication cabinet optimization projects
- Retrofit and system expansion deployments
- Commercial facilities requiring flexible communicator placement
