control panel.
LED DESCRIPTIONS
The PC board contains several LED's, as follows:
GREEN RF SIGNAL STRENGTH LED
Labeled
"
D3
", this LED is located at the lower right corner
of the PC board.
Every 30 seconds, the StarLink radio receiver section
turns on and listens to the cell tower. Depending on the
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.
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
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 65mA. When there is insufficient standby current due to
the application, the SLE-SMTCHG Charger Module acces-
sory must be used to charge an additional battery and to
supply the standby current for the StarLink radio.
