UC330-VC
CDMA Cellular
Communicator
Installation Instructions
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The UC330-VC CDMA Cellular Communicator functions as a phone line replacement for
alarm panel Central Station reporting. It replaces the traditional wired phone line servicing
the alarm panel with a device that communicates via cellular airwaves.
The communicator has an input to detect the alarm panel’s arming status and an output
to arm and disarm the alarm panel via the panel’s key switch input. The communicator is
powered and battery backed up directly from the alarm panel.
Seven indicators display setup information and status during operation. The cellular signal
strength is also displayed by the indicators.
A remote antenna with an 8 ft. lead is supplied with the UC330-VC Cellular Communicator.
It should be oriented and placed in a location that provides the best radio signal strength.
The unit also includes an optional tamper switch that, once installed, will notify the Central
Station if the communicator is tampered with or removed from its mounting location.
The communicator will need to be activated on-line before use. Refer to these instructions
and the on-line LinearLinc/nuLinc Dealer setup information on the LinearLinc Web site.
To setup the nuLinc remote arm/disarm and system arming status connections, the
alarm panel’s armed output polarity and key switch input polarity and type will need to be
programmed in the panel. Refer to the alarm panel’s instructions and the on-line UC330-VC
Alarm Panel Connections & Programming Technical Bulletin (TB2013-004) for details.
2. MODULE COMPONENTS
3. ON-LINE ACTIVATION / REMOVING COVER
Log onto http://www.linearlinc.com to setup a Dealer account and activate the
device.
This should be done prior to installing the UC330-VC at the customer location.
Open UC330-VC enclosure by loosening screw on enclosure chassis and lifting up on the
enclosure top.
4. INSTALLING AND WIRING TAMPER ALARM SWITCH
If a Tamper Alarm is required, install Tamper Switch (included) into the enclosure chassis
bracket as shown. Be sure that the tamper switch “snaps” into the bracket pins face down
and pivots freely. After installing Tamper Switch into enclosure chassis, plug the tamper plug
into the Tamper Header. The location is shown with a label and arrow on the circuit board.
5. WIRING TERMINATION (IF NOT USING TAMPER SWITCH)
If a Tamper Switch is not required, plug the Jumper (provided) in place on the Tamper
Header pins to prevent the tamper alarm from being raised.
6. CHASSIS TERMINAL BLOCK WIRING
Using the color coded connector wires (provided) insert into screw terminals on UC330-VC
enclosure chassis as shown in diagram. Feed wires through wiring guides located at the
bottom edge of the chassis.
NOTE:
Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
7. MOUNTING ENCLOSURE CHASSIS
Determine location for UC330-VC enclosure chassis and install using 4 mounting screws
(provided).
NOTE:
Install in the same room and up to 3 feet away from alarm panel.
8. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Fasten remote antenna to top of UC330-VC enclosure. Remove backing from sticky tape
on antenna. Place antenna at an optimal location that maximizes signal strength, usually
highest point above enclosure. Refer to Figure 12 for signal strength indicators. Be sure to
keep antenna away from any metal objects to prevent interference.
