optionally have front and rear tamper switches installed
(GEM-Tamperkit) and wired to the control panel (see
page 14).
Note:
The tamper switch on the communicator
PC board is not used in this housing (but continues to
function if pressed).
NYC Fire Department Requirements
1. All uses, configurations, arrangements and functions, ap-
plications and installations shall comply with the provi-
sions of New York City Construction Codes, specifically
Building Code Chapter 9 & 1RCNY §3616-04. Further,
the installation shall be in accordance with applicable pro-
visions of New York City Fire Code, New York City Electri-
cal Code, manufacturer's installation requirements, and
UL Standard 864.
2. When used Dual Path LTE Communicator (IP and Cellu-
lar) for Central Station communication both primary and
secondary channels of communication shall be required
and shall meet the conditions of 4.1 – 4.7. IP communica-
tion shall be used as primary channel of communication
with Central Station and Cellular Communicator shall be
used as the secondary channel of communication or in
reverse order: Cellular Communicator as primary and
Internet connection as the secondary channel.
a. Each communication channel shall be monitored for
integrity at intervals not exceeding 24 hours.
b. Failure any channel of communication shall be annun-
ciated at the protected premises within 5 minutes of
failure.
c. When any channel of communication has failed, a trou-
ble signal shall be sent to Central Station within 5
minutes of failure by the remained active channel.
d. Reliability of the signal shall be achieved by any of the
following:
Signal repetition - multiple transmissions repeating the
same signal
Parity check - a mathematically check sum algorithm
of a digital message that verifies correlation between
transmitted and received message
An equivalent means that provides a certainty of
99.99 percent that the received message is identical
the zone as indicated in the wiring diagrams further in this
manual.
For models
with
the
SLE-ULPS-R
Power Supply, wire
this Power Supply trouble output relay to the two terminals
of the control panel zone dedicated to the trouble. With
the GEMC Commercial Fire control panels, use the dry
contacts of the Power Supply relay by removing the jump-
er and using the contacts of the Power Supply relay
(Common and N/O) in series with a 2.2k EOLR.
For communicator models
without
the
SLE-ULPS-R
Pow-
er Supply (powered by the control panel Aux Power termi-
nals), wire the communicator directly to the 12V of the
control panel. Program the communicator to report all
troubles on
OUT1
,
Common
and
N/C
.
You can also wire across the dedicated zone on a GEMC-
EZM8. Thus when a communicator trouble is detected,
the communicator
OUT1
activates the control panel zone,
and the panel generates a local annunciation.
Optionally, you may also wire the FACP Trouble Relay to
IN2
;
Common
and
N/O
terminals in parallel with a 10k
EOLR. With Gemini C-Series (GEMC) control panels, we
recommend using the Fire Aux Relay. Program the Fire
Aux Relay to activate as a trouble relay. Wire this relay to
the StarLink module
IN2
terminal; by wiring the EOLR in
parallel with the
Common
and
N/O
of the
OUT1
relay.
Note:
We recommend using the text "Communicator
Trouble" as the Zone Description.
StarLink Communicator Supervision
If the two Telco wires (DACT interconnect wiring to the
communicator) between the StarLink communicator and
the control panel are cut or otherwise disconnected, the
control panel must detect and generate a local trouble
indication. Program the control panel for telephone super-
vision. Program the StarLink communicator using the
Management Center
Advanced Features
screen (at
www.NapcoNOC.com
) to enable
Tip/Ring Wiring Fault
Report
. Refer to wiring diagram.
Supervision Time Schedule Considerations
If a status change (alarm trouble, etc.) is transmitted, the
communicator supervision timer is restarted.
For example, if a status change is sent, the next regular
supervision transmission will occur at the interval deter-
mined by your rate plan.
Configuration Download / Firmware Updates
Technician on site required.
For Commercial Installations a technician is required to be
on site during any reprogramming of the communicator or
control panel and must perform / re-perform acceptance
testing. To perform a download or update the communi-
cator firmware, jumper 1 must be removed. UL requires
that the jumper be replaced after the download is com-
plete.
Failure to replace the jumper would allow down-
loads to the communicator without a technician on-
site
.
For Residential installations jumper 1 may be removed to
permit uploading and downloading without a technician on
site, however, the dealer is responsible for ensuring the
system is operating correctly after any downloads or
changes to the system.
