StarLink
™
SLE Commercial Series Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions
PRIMARY AND BACK-UP REPORTING
The StarLink radio can function as a primary wireless
communicator, in cases where there are no telephone
lines present, when connected directly to the control pan-
el Telco terminals. For primary reporting, do NOT install
jumper 3 in terminal block "
X5
". The StarLink radio can
also function as a backup to the existing telephone lines
(install jumper 3 in terminal block "
X5
"). When used as a
backup communicator and when it senses telephone line
trouble, the StarLink radio automatically switches the
communication channel from the telephone line to the
GPRS network. See the following table for the maximum
number of retry attempts from the SLE radio to the NOC:
NETWORK COVERAGE
The StarLink radio constantly supervises the GPRS net-
work coverage. When the StarLink radio is configured
for primary reporting, and the StarLink radio detects a
loss in network coverage, the StarLink radio must be
configured to prompt the control panel to announce a
Telco Line Cut failure trouble using the Management
Center screen (located at
www.napconoc.com ).
Note:
This Telco Line Cut failure trouble will NOT activate when
the StarLink radio is configured for backup reporting.
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific StarLink radio
modules at
www.NapcoComNet.com . Accounts and
modules registered via the Internet are enabled for activa-
tion within 24 hours.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be indoors within the pro-
tected 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
radio in basements or below grade as unpredictable
performance may result.

DO NOT mount the
radio
in non-climate controlled en-
vironments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in
summer, garages may become extremely cold in win-
ter).

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
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 (such as when 24-hour standby time is re-
quired for Fire or CO), the SLE-ULPS-R Charger Module
accessory must be used to charge an additional battery
and to supply the standby current for the StarLink radio.
See WI2131.
