 SLE Commercial LTEVI & LTEAI Series Dual-Path Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions 

 

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.

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 (–)
