SLE Commercial LTEVI & LTEAI Series Dual-Path Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions
5
TB21: N/C OUT1:
Wired to the (+) of a zone dedi-
cated to monitoring the communicator status. Should
be programmed on Napco GEMC control panels as
Monitor or Supervisory Zone.
TELCO PRIMARY
to FACP Telco 1 RJ-45 socket.
TELCO SECONDARY
to FACP Telco 2 RJ-45 socket.
(Place
JP1
shunt on bottom two pins)
Wiring Methods
Strip wire carefully to avoid exposed conductors after
installation, etc.
Use UL Listed wire, ensuring that all conductors are to
be insulated for the maximum voltage of any conductor
in the enclosure
All wiring methods must be performed in accordance
with NFPA 70, Articles 725, and 800
STEP 4: APPLY POWER
Attach antennas before applying power !
Apply 12/24VDC to terminals 1 and 2. (For models
without the charger board
SLE-ULPS-R
). For models
with the
SLE-ULPS-R
, apply power to the unit.
STEP 5: SIGNAL VERIFICATION
Verify Online
: To verify that the signals have been
received by the StarLink communicator Network online,
go to
www.NapcoNOC.com
, log in with your Username
and Password, enter your
Company ID
number and the
StarLink
Radio Number
, then click
Signal Log
.
IMPORTANT
: Verify that the signals transmitted by the
StarLink communicator have been properly received by
your central station before leaving the premises.
NAPCO GEMINI C-SERIES (GEMC)
CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING
To program the central station receiver reporting format,
use PCD-Windows Quickloader download software. Open
the
Digital Communications
screen,
Central Station Re-
ceivers
tab, as shown in the following image:
A "Point ID" (also called "Contact ID") receiver format pro-
gramming example is shown:
The communicator can transmit to any central station ca-
pable of receiving SIA Contact ID or 4/2 via DACR tech-
nology or the DSC Sur-Gard Model System II or Sur-Gard
System V central station receivers, Bosch D6100IPV6 or
Bosch D6600 Receiver (with ITS-D6686 Ethernet Adapter)
via TCP/IP using standard line security.
Note:
A receiver reporting format must be entered for
each telephone number used, but each telephone number
may be assigned a different format.
Note:
UL Listed for UL 1076 APOU Proprietary Alarm
Systems and UL 365 APAW Police Connect when report-
ing to a UL Listed Central Station Receiver Listed for UL
1076 APOU Proprietary Alarm Systems or UL 365 APAW
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific StarLink com-
municator modules at
www.NapcoComNet.com
. Accounts
and modules registered via the Internet are enabled for
activation within 24 hours.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be indoors within the protect-
ed area and selected based on RF performance. It is
HIGHLY recommended that the installer carefully adhere to
the following recommendations BEFORE any wires are
installed.
Generally, high locations are best. DO NOT mount
communicator in basements or below grade as unpre-
dictable performance may result.
DO NOT mount the
communicator
in non-climate con-
trolled environments (i.e. attics may become extremely
hot in summer, garages may become extremely cold in
winter).
Avoid mounting locations within 3 feet of AC power
lines, fluorescent light fixtures, or large metal objects (air
conditioners, metal garage doors, etc.) as these loca-
tions have been shown to have a detrimental effect on
signal strength.
A fair amount of care may be required to mount the
StarLink communicator
so as to achieve an optimal RF
path. The installer should spend as much time as need-
ed to obtain the highest signal level possible.
a.
Before applying power, be sure to connect the
antenna
. Temporarily connect power to the
StarLink communicator from a fully charged 12V
(4AH minimum) battery. DO NOT mount the com-
municator at this time. Press
Tamper
switch to
send a signal.
b. Position the unit in the desired mounting location,
with antenna oriented vertically. The signal strength
is displayed by the Green "Signal Strength LED"
labeled "D3" (located at the lower right corner of the
PC board). The tower signal strength may fluctuate
from day to day, therefore it is best to try to find a
mounting location where the LED provides a
mini-
mum of 2 blinks
.
c. Once a location has been selected based on signal
coverage, permanently secure the unit using #8
screws (not supplied) in the two mounting holes.
WARNING:
To ensure user safety and to satisfy FCC
RF exposure requirements, this unit must be installed so
that a minimum separation distance of 60cm (24") is al-
ways maintained between the antenna of the transmitting
device and nearby persons.
STEP 3: WIRING (PRIMARY MODE)
22-gauge wire may be used if mounted up to 50 feet from
the control panel, and 18-gauge wire should be used for up
to 100 feet. Reference the wiring diagrams further in this
manual. See the section
CONTROL PANEL PROGRAM-
MING
further in this manual.
For Primary Mode:
The wiring between the control panel and the StarLink
communicator is over several wires, as follows:
TB1: PWR (+12V):
Rated 12/24VDC input.
TB2: PWR GND (–)
