signal strength detected, it will blink the Signal Strength
LED from 1 to 8 times, providing a signal strength indica-
tor that is updated constantly and is always displayed.
Refer to Coverage Table below.
Green LED Operation
Signal strength (as received by the radio) is displayed by
this LED blinking 1 to 8 times at a constant rate (with a
short delay between blink cycles). Acceptable power
level is greater than or equal to -91dBm (minimum 4
blinks at the mounting location).
YELLOW OPERATIONAL STATUS LED
Labeled
"
D4
", this LED is located at the bottom right of
the PC board. Operation is as follows:
Normal Standby Condition:
Blinks on momentarily every 10 seconds:
Unit is in
standby waiting for an alarm to report.
Processing Alarm Conditions:
When processing an alarm, this LED will blink variably
during each part of the process (dialing, handshaking,
data transmission, etc.).
RED TROUBLE LED
Labeled
"
D5
", this LED is located at the bottom right of
the PC board. Operation is as follows:
1 Blink:
Low Aux Power input voltage
2 Blinks:
Battery trouble
3 Blinks:
Alarm report Failed to Communicate
4 Blinks:
RF trouble (antenna connection or cellu-
lar registration)
5 Blinks:
Network trouble (signal unable to reach
the SLE Control Center)
6 Blinks:
Unit disabled (reporting or control panel
downloading not allowed)
7 Blinks:
Unit was shutdown and has no function-
ality; requires a restart (full power down and full power
up sequence) to restore operation
8 Blinks:
Telco Line Cut (this is not the DACT inter-
connect to the radio)
RED DIAGNOSTIC LED
Labeled
"
D7
", this LED is located in the middle of the PC
board. One blink indicates a weak or non-existent signal
from the network (green LED is off). If this red LED is
blinking in any other manner, please contact technical
support.
SUPPLYING POWER
Control panels can provide power through their Auxiliary
Power terminals if the available standby current is reduced by
71mA. When there is insufficient standby current due to the
application (such as when 24-hour standby time is required
for Fire or CO), the SLE-ULPS-R Charger Module accessory
must be used to charge an additional battery and to supply
the power for the StarLink radio. See WI2131.
JUMPER DESCRIPTIONS
Jumper block labeled "
X5
"; from top to bottom, as detailed in
the following table.
Note:
Contact ID is always available in
response to a Contact ID handshake.
The StarLink SLE-LTE Series radios are compatible with
any Listed alarm control unit DACT communicating contact
ID or any 4+2 pulse format (4/2 Pulse Dialing formats such
as Ademco Slow, Radionics Slow, Silent Knight Fast, Radi-
onics Fast and Universal High Speed, with 10pps, 20pps,
and 40pps with and without checksum, either 1400Hz or
2300Hz handshake / kissoff).
The StarLink SLE-LTE Series radios and NOC are compati-
ble with the Listed Ademco model 685 with model 685-8 line
card DACR or any Listed compatible DACR with any 4+2
pulse or contact ID format which is specified in the Installa-
tion Instructions for the interconnected DACT / Alarm Con-
trol Unit.
Refer to WI2140 (available on the NOC) for selecting the
required handshake / kissoff frequency in the NOC
(
www.NapcoNOC.com
) setup screens (as required by the
control panel).
PRIMARY AND BACK-UP REPORTING
The StarLink radio can function as a primary wireless com-
municator, in cases where there are no telephone lines pre-
sent, when connected directly to the control panel Telco
