several methods, some of them are configurable at the Man-
agement Center screen (

):
Wire the radio PGM1 output to a dedicated control panel
zone (input) to annunciate the trouble (activate a trouble
sounder) when an open is detected. With Napco control
panels, program a dedicated zone for Day Zone, Mini-
sounder on Alarm and No bell on Alarm. Wire the zone as
indicated in the wiring diagrams further in this manual.
For radio models powered by the control panel Aux Power
terminals, wire the radio directly to the PGM1 output of the
control panel (program the radio to report all troubles on
PGM1).
You can also wire to the positive terminal of the dedicated
zone on a GEMC-EZM8. Thus when a radio trouble is de-
tected, the radio PGM activates the control panel zone, and
the control panel generates a trouble.
StarLink Panel / Radio Supervision of Tip/Ring Wiring
The StarLink radio connection to the control panel shall be
supervised with local trouble annunciation and report to the
central station if the Tip/Ring wiring is cut or shorted.
For local annunciation of radio troubles, the control panel
must be programmed for Telco line supervision that will pro-
duce a local trouble at the premises (refer to control panel
programming).
To report the radio trouble to the central station:
1. Program the unit (select "
Y
") for the "Tip/Ring Wiring
Fault Report" feature located in the
Advanced Features
screen of the Napco "NOC" (at
http://NapcoNoc2.com
).
2. Install the supplied 10K EOLR across the control panel
terminals normally intended to be wired to the home tele-
phone if Telco service was used (shown in the wiring
diagram examples).
Note:
Some control panels may require a different dura-
tion than the default time of 3 minutes. See also the alter-
nate supervision method described below, "
Telco Line to
Alarm Panel Supervision (For Primary Mode Only)
".
Supervision Time Schedule Considerations
If a status change (alarm trouble, etc.) is transmitted, the ra-
dio supervision timer is restarted.
For example, if a status change is sent, the next regular su-
pervision transmission will occur at the interval determined
by your rate plan.
rect the interference by one of more of the following
measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; 2.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiv-
er; 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected; 4. Consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NAPCO CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING
To program the central station receiver reporting format,
use PCD-Windows Quickloader download software. Open
the
Digital Communications
screen,
Central Station Receiv-
ers
tab, as shown in the following image:
A "Point ID" (also called "Contact ID") receiver format pro-
gramming example:
The radio can transmit to any central station capable of re-
ceiving Contact ID or the DSC Sur-Gard System II or Sur-
Gard System V central station receivers via TCP/IP.
Note:
A receiver reporting format must be entered for
each telephone number used, but each telephone number
may be assigned a different format.
CAUTION:
The installer should always be certain an area
code is programmed into the control panel.
Optional:
If you wish the StarLink radio to report a code
and zone number (Contact ID by default) to the central station
in response to a triggered input event, see the table on page
6.
Note:
These event codes and zone numbers can be
changed from the Management Center screen (located at
http://NapcoNoc2.com
).
Programming StarLink Radio Troubles
It is required that if a StarLink radio or control panel trouble is
detected, that it is reported to the central station.
When the StarLink radio detects and sends a trouble to the
control panel, the control panel must be programmed to an-
nunciate this trouble. The radio can detect multiple troubles
as indicated by the "Red Trouble LED" ("
D5
"). For these
troubles to be annunciated at the control panel, there are
Telco Line to Alarm Panel Supervision
A 10K ohm resistor (5% tolerance) can be placed across the "house side" of the telephone line circuit
(see wiring diagrams). Use this resistor instead of using a relay on the alarm control panel to trip an input
on the radio to supervise the connection between the alarm control panel telco circuit and the radio.
REMEMBER:
Enable the feature "
Tip / Ring Wiring Fault Report
" in the NOC
(
www.NapcoComNet.com
) to supervise the telephone line connection to the control panel.
