The
SLE

and

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

and

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-
