Only one Primary Controller is allowed in your system, and only the Primary Controller can add or
delete devices. A Primary Controller can be in the form of a "static" (permanently mounted) control-
ler (like the StarLink Connect), a "portable" device like a hand-held remote controller, a Z-Wave-
enabled computer or even an Ethernet router or bridge. Contact your alarm installer for a list of ap-
proved controllers that can be designated as Primary. Note: If the Napco StarLink Connect is the
Primary Controller and a new controller is later added as the Primary, the StarLink Connect automati-
cally becomes a Secondary Controller (unable to add and delete devices). To make the Napco Star-
Link Connect the Primary Controller again, use the Learn button (see page 19 for instructions).
Why add a new Primary Controller?
Some Z-Wave devices available in the marketplace only operate in low power during Learn mode;
therefore the use of a portable "hand-held" Primary Controller --
held within 6 feet of the device when adding-- may be neces-
sary. In addition, your system may include distant devices con-
nected with repeater devices; in some cases, these distant de-
vices may only be added to your Z-Wave system directly (in
other words, adding a device through a repeater may not be
allowed by the repeater). As only the Primary Controller may
add and remove devices, these aforementioned scenarios may
require the temporary addition of a portable hand-held Primary
Controller.
To make a new controller the Primary Controller, proceed as
follows:
1.
Tap the Add New Controller as Primary button.
2.
Wait for the status message field to indicate " Add node
