Downloading an alarm control via the LINKS1000 requires connecting the RING terminal on the LINKS1000
to the proper terminal on the control panel (see instructions). Then, from the downloading computer, simply
dial the cellular telephone number of the LINKS1000. The LINKS detects an incoming call and pulls the RING
terminal to 12 V
DC
. This instructs the alarm control to answer, the panel then provides continuity across TIP
and RING. The LINKS detects current flow and connects the LINKS T1 and R1 and the panel TIP and RING.
Upon completion of downloading, the LINKS1000 will ‘hang up’. The LINKS1000 will automatically disconnect
any call after a 20 minute duration.
Emergency Phone Number
This number is programmed into the LINKS1000 and will be dialed when the AUX IN terminal is shorted to
ground. To program the number, enter the emergency phone number into the LINKS1000, exactly as it would
be dialed on a cellular phone. To use this feature, place an ordinary handset in parallel with the panel on the
LINKS1000 T-1, R-1 terminals and connect a normally open pushbutton across the AUX IN and Ground
terminals.
NOTE: This input is a 24-hour, silent terminal and the Panic phone call will be connected through the cellular
network.
Powering the LINKS1000 from a DC Source
The LINKS1000 (v3.0 and higher) has the capability to be powered only by a DC source. This could be useful
in such applications as: large recreational vehicles, motor homes, transport trucks, large boats, etc. In these
cases, the main power source is the vehicle’s battery and DC electrical system with no true AC source for the
control panel or LINKS1000 to draw power from.
To use the LINKS1000 with only a DC source, short jumper J2 and leave in place. Connect all wiring for the
LINKS1000 except for the power circuit. Once all connections are made, connect the vehicle’s DC source to
the battery leads of the LINKS1000 (observing correct polarity) and test the control panel and LINKS1000
according to the “Testing the System” sections of their respective manuals.
NOTE: If the LINKS1000 is being used for such an application, the central station should be notified when the
vehicle is being serviced to avoid possible false alarms.
NOTE: The LINKS1000, control panel and DC source should be in a physically secure location to avoid
possible tampering.
WARNING: Though the Links1000 product is capable of roaming, this is fully dependant on the service
provider.
This configuration should not be used on UL Listed systems.
