ceiver (with ITS - D6686 Ethernet Adapter) via TCP/IP using
standard line security. The SLE Control Center reports a
trouble signal in the event that the network does not re-
ceive the expected supervision signal from the wireless
communicator. In addition, the SLE - MAXVI - FIRE and
SLE - MAXAI - FIRE are powered directly from the control
panel. Note: UL Certified for UL 1076 APOU Proprietary
Alarm Systems and UL 365 APAW Police Connect when
reporting to a UL Certified Central Station Receiver Certi-
fied for UL 1076 APOU Proprietary Alarm Systems or UL
365 APAW Police Connect, respectively. For TCP/IP only
Bosch D6600 or D6100IPV6 for UL1076 and UL 365 appli-
cations. For the NAPCO Virtual IP Central Station Receiv-
er (NCSR), UL 864 - Control Units and Accessories for Fire
Alarm Systems, UL 1076 - Standard for Proprietary Burglar
Alarm Units and Systems and UL 1610 - Central - Station
Burglar - Alarm Units.
The SLE - MAXAI and SLE - MAXVI Series of Communica-
tors are provided with two antennas. Only one antenna is
active at a time, and should the communicator have a loss
of adequate signal strength, the communicator will connect
to the tower via the other antenna. If neither antenna can
connect to the tower within 200 seconds, a trouble output
will be activated. If using an external antenna such as from
the NAPCO StarLink SLE - ANTEXTXXX Series of Extended
Antenna Kits, connect it to the left antenna connector.
StarLink Fire Self - Supervision
NFPA 72 requires that any fire communicator trouble be
locally annunciated by the fire panel within 200 seconds of
the trouble. The troubles include loss of signal, NOC su-
pervision check - in failure, etc. The StarLink MAX Fire com-
municator models include a " Self - Supervising Fire Com-
municator " feature that allows the communicator to annun-
ciate a communication trouble without the need for wiring to
an FACP zone input or any FACP reprogramming. This is
accomplished by dropping the emulated phone line voltage
to the FACP secondary phone line, causing the FACP to
annunciate communication trouble. To enable Self -
Supervision, simply remove Jumper JP2 . Note that when
using Self - Supervision, some FACPs may require the
Jumper J7 shunt to be removed for the Primary Phone line

INTRODUCTION
The SLE - MAXVI - FIRE and SLE - MAXAI - FIRE Sole/Dual -
Path Alarm Communicators are specifically designed to
interface with FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panels) and to
comply with UL 864. The SLE - MAXVI - FIRE operates on
the Verizon network, the SLE - MAXAI - FIRE on the AT&T
network and both models utilize CAT - M1 technology.
These devices support both Sole Path and Dual Path com-
munication. Sole Path communication is cellular only and
Dual Path communication is cellular and IP, which requires
connection to the local network using the on - board Ether-
net jack or via Wi - Fi using the optional UL 864 Certified
SLE - WIFI - MODULE . The communication mode (Sole Path
or Dual Path) requires selection of the appropriate service
plan at the point of communicator activation. The commu-
nicators are equipped with two dry relays, one for a trouble
output and one for an auxiliary output. The units are also
equipped with four supervised inputs to report a Fire Alarm,
a Fire Trouble, a Water Flow Alarm and a Supervisory
Alarm, each triggered from the N/O and Common terminals
of the associated FACP output relays. These communica-
tors are for use as the primary means of communication
with the central station and do not have backup mode ca-
pability. These Communicators can also be utilized as a
Sole Path Cell Communicators. No POTS (Telco Line)
connection permitted. For Commercial Burglary installa-
tions, under the armed condition, any loss of communica-
tion must be treated as a Burglary Alarm at the Central Sta-
tion.
For connection to the FACP DACT, the SLE - MAXVI - FIRE
and SLE - MAXAI - FIRE provides two RJ - 45 Telco connec-
tions to satisfy the FACP telephone requirements. The pri-
mary Telco connector can be supervised and can report a
trouble to the central station upon any open or short on the
primary Telco wires that prevents reporting. The second-
ary telephone line is supervised by the FACP; when a line
fault is detected, a trouble is reported to the central station
through the primary telephone line.
The SLE - MAXVI - FIRE and SLE - MAXAI - FIRE are compati-
ble with most 12 or 24VDC alarm control panels (always
adhere to the documentation provided by the control panel
manufacturer). Mount to a single - , dual - , or three - gang
electrical box and route the wires through the back knock-
out(s), or as specified by local codes. See WI2140 for
programming information.
The SLE - MAXVI - FIRE and SLE - MAXAI - FIRE communica-
tors use proprietary data - capture technology that captures
the alarm report from the control panel and transmits the
alarm signals to the SLE Control Center; the alarm signals
are then forwarded to ANY central station via Contact ID or
4/2 via DACT from the NOC or to the Napco Virtual IP Cen-
