StarLink ™ SLE-LTE Commercial Series Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions 5"D3" (located at the lower right corner of the PCboard). The radio tower signal strength may fluctuatefrom day to day, therefore it is best to try to find amounting location where the LED provides a mini-mum of 4 blinks.c. Once a location has been selected based on signalcoverage, permanently secure the unit using #8screws (not supplied) in the two mounting holes.WARNING: To ensure user safety and to satisfy FCCRF exposure requirements, this unit must be installed sothat a minimum separation distance of 60cm (24") is al-ways maintained between the antenna of the transmittingdevice and nearby persons.STEP 3: WIRING (PRIMARY AND BACKUP MODES)22-gauge wire may be used if mounted up to 50 feet fromthe control panel, and 18-gauge wire should be used for upto 100 feet. Reference the wiring diagrams further in thismanual. See the section CONTROL PANEL PROGRAM-MING further in this manual.For Primary Mode:Remove jumper #3 in jumper block labeled "X5". The wir-ing between the control panel and the StarLink radio is overfive (5) wires, as follows: TB1: PWR (+12V) Note: Model SLE-LTEV-CFB israted 12/24VDC input. TB2: PWR GND (–) TB13: PANEL TIP TB12: PANEL RING TB3: PGM1 (–). Normally low output wired to the(+) of a zone dedicated to monitoring the radio status.See page 12 for GEMC-F8ZCPIM wiring. Should beprogrammed on Napco control panels as Day Zone, butbe programmed to sound locally and NOT activate thebell. Note: See steps "a" and "b", below.For Backup Mode:Install jumper #3 in jumper block labeled "X5". The wiringbetween the control panel and the StarLink radio is overseven (7) wires, as follows: TB1: PWR (+12 or 12/24V) TB2: PWR GND (–) TB10: TIP TB11: RING TB13: PANEL TIP TB12: PANEL RING TB3: PGM1 (–). Normally low output wired to the(+) of a zone dedicated to monitoring the radio status(see page 12 for GEMC-F8ZCPIM wiring). Should beprogrammed on Napco panels as Day Zone, but beprogrammed to sound locally and NOT activate the bell.a. Without applying power (voltage), connect to screwterminals TB1 (+12 or 12/24V) and TB2 (–). If thecontrol panel Aux. Output cannot supply the neces-sary current, then you must use the SLE-ULPS-RPower Supply accessory with additional battery (seeWI2131). For wiring connections, see the wiring dia-grams further in this manual.b. Referencing the correct wiring diagram for the ap-propriate control panel (wiring diagrams are locatedfurther in this manual), connect the "TELCO" controlterminals. For primary reporting, do NOT install jumper 3in terminal block "X5". The StarLink radio can also func-tion as a backup to the existing telephone lines (installjumper 3 in terminal block "X5"). When used as a backupcommunicator and when it senses telephone line trouble,the StarLink radio automatically switches the communica-tion channel from the telephone line to the network.NETWORK COVERAGEThe StarLink radio constantly supervises the network cov-erage. When the StarLink radio is configured for primaryreporting, and the StarLink radio detects a loss in networkcoverage, the StarLink radio must be configured to promptthe control panel to announce a Telco Line Cut failure trou-ble using the Management Center screen (located atwww.NapcoNoc.com). Note: This Telco Line Cut failuretrouble will NOT activate when the StarLink radio is config-ured for backup reporting.INSTALLATION STEPSSTEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATIONCreate a new account and register specific StarLink radiomodules at www.NapcoComNet.com. Accounts and mod-ules registered via the Internet are enabled for activationwithin 24 hours.STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATIONThe mounting location should be indoors within the protect-ed area and selected based on RF performance. It isHIGHLY recommended that the installer carefully adhere tothe following recommendations BEFORE any wires are in-stalled. Generally, high locations are best. DO NOT mount radioin basements or below grade as unpredictable perfor-mance may result. DO NOT mount the radio in non-climate controlled envi-ronments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in sum-mer, garages may become extremely cold in winter). Avoid mounting locations within 3 feet of AC power lines,fluorescent light fixtures, or large metal objects (air con-ditioners, metal garage doors, etc.) as these locationshave been shown to have a detrimental effect on signalstrength. A fair amount of care may be required to mount the Star-Link radio so as to achieve an optimal RF path. Theinstaller should spend as much time as needed to obtainthe highest signal level possible. For Commercial Burglary installations, install in accord-ance with UL 681, Standard for Installation and Classifi-cation of Burglary and Holdup Alarm Systems. Installa-tion shall also be in accordance with UL 827, Standardfor Central-Station Alarm Services, and UL 1641, Stand-ard for Installation and Classification of Residential Bur-glar Alarm Systemsa. Before applying power, be sure to connect theantennas. Temporarily connect power to the Star-Link radio from a fully charged 12V (4AH minimum)battery. DO NOT mount the radio at this time. PressTamper switch to send a signal.b. Position the unit in the desired mounting location, withantenna oriented vertically. The signal strength isdisplayed by the Green "Signal Strength LED" labeled
