UC330-VC Alarm Panel Connections & Programming

Summary

Linear’s nuLinc UC330-VC CDMA Cellular Communicator
functions as a phone line replacement for alarm panel Central
Station reporting. It replaces the traditional wired telephone
land-line servicing the alarm panel with a wireless device that
communicates over cellular.

To the alarm panel, the communicator simulates a standard
telephone line and central station receiver, supporting dial tone,
handshake, report acknowledgement, and kiss-off signals. The
communicator sends the alarm panel reports through the cellular
network to a LinearLinc authorized central station.

The communicator also features remote or mobile device control
of the system. Arming and disarming of the alarm panel can be
controlled, and the armed status of the alarm panel can be viewed.

This Technical Bulletin describes the communicator and the
alarm panel connections, and typical alarm panel programming
required to support the communicator. Programming steps for
several common alarm panels are also included.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN

TB2013-004

ISSUE DATE 7/15/2013

nuLinc UC330-VC Cellular Communicator

Connections

The communicator requires four connections to the alarm panel:

• POWER - The communicator receives 12 VDC power from the alarm
panel’s auxiliary power output or connection directly to the alarm
panel’s backup battery. This connection powers the communicator.

• TELCO - The alarm panel’s ring and tip terminals that would normally
connect to the installations land-line telephone jack now connect to the
communicator’s PSTN input. This connection is for two-way cellular

communication between the alarm panel and the central station.

• ARM/DISARM KEYSWITCH INPUT - An alarm panel keyswitch input, or
zone programmed as an arm/disarm zone, connects to the communicator.

This connection is for arming and disarming the alarm panel.

• ARMED STATUS OUTPUT - An alarm panel output programmed to
indicate the armed status of the system connects to the communicator.

This connection is for monitoring the alarm panel’s arming status.

General Programming

Some general alarm panel programming is the same regardless
of the alarm panel type.

• DIALING FORMAT - Set the alarm panel to dial out using DTMF
tone dialing and report in Ademco Contact ID or SIA format.

• ARM/DISARM KEYSWITCH INPUT - Set an available alarm panel
zone to arm/disarm keyswitch operation. The recommended setting
for the zone is normally open and momentary (other confi gurations
for normally closed, or constant state input are also supported).

• ARMED STATUS OUTPUT - Set an alarm panel output to follow
the system’s arm disarm status. Positive or negative signal while
armed is supported by the communicator programming.

• AWAY / STAY MODES - Disable any alarm panel setting that automatically
switches the system from Away Mode to Stay or Home Mode.

UC330-VC Alarm Panel Connections & Programming (continued)

Ademco Vista Panel

Requirements

1. Available hardwire zone that is not doubled.

2. Available output terminal or wire (Usually has 4-wire harness
included with the kit. Suggest using Output #18, green wire).

Arm/Disarm Keyswitch Input (YELLOW WIRE)

Connection

Determine which of the two terminals for that zone is the +12V terminal.
Look on the alarm panel diagram, usually labeled High or Zone XX. Also can
be found by using voltmeter and using the black probe on the Negative(-)
terminal or the GND terminal and using the red probe to determine which
terminal has +12V.

• The Yellow wire from the UC300-VC Y terminal connects to this alarm

panel terminal.

• An EOL resistor is not required. (Note: An EOL resistor can be used

for wiring supervision, add the EOL resistor across UC300-VC Y & B
terminals).

Zone Programming

The zone needs to be programed to be Normally Open.

• Go to Field *56 Zone type = 77 (Keyswitch)

Armed Status Output (GREEN WIRE)

Connection

Use alarm panel Output #18 (can also use Output #17).

• Connect UC300-VC G terminal to alarm panel programmed Output #18

Programming

Programming Output 18 to indicate Armed (Stay or Away) and Disarmed
Modes.

• Use PGM Output #18

• Enter Installer Code + 800

• Field *79, Output #18, Normally Low = 0 = No

• Field *80, Output Function = 01, Activate by Zone Type = 2, Enter Zone

Type = 22 (Disarming), Enter Output No. = 18, Output Action = 0 = Off

• Field *80, Output Function = 02, Activate by Zone Type = 2, Enter Zone

Type = 20 (Arm Stay), Enter Output No. = 18, Output Action = 2 = Stay
Closed

• Field *80, Output Function = 03, Activate by Zone Type = 2, Enter Zone

Type = 21 (Arm Away), Enter Output No. = 18, Output Action = 2 = Stay
Closed

• Disabling Automatic Armed Stay

• Field *84, Set to 0

GE Security Concord 4 Panel

Requirements

1. Available hardwire zone that is not doubled.

2. Available output terminal (suggest using Output #2).

Arm/Disarm Keyswitch Input (YELLOW WIRE)

Connection

Determine which of the two terminals for that zone is the +12V terminal.
Look on the alarm panel diagram, usually labeled High or Zone XX. Also can
be found by using voltmeter and using the black probe on the Negative(-)
terminal or the GND terminal and using the red probe to determine which
terminal has +12V.

• The Yellow wire from the UC300-VC Y terminal connects to this alarm
panel terminal.

• Add the EOL resistor across UC300-VC Y & B terminals.

Zone Programming

Add hardwire zone as a Sensor #.

• System Programming >> Sensors >> Learn Sensor (shortcut 080)

• Choose Partition 1 (or other partition for alarm panel setup)

• Choose Group 28

• Trip Sensor by placing the jumper over the confi g mode pins. Retry if
sensor is not learned

• Record Sensor # from previous step

• Exit Sensor programming

Defi ne Sensor # as a keyswitch.

• System Programming >> Security >> Partition 1 >> Keyswitch Sensor
(shortcut 0014)

• Set to Sensor # from above add hardwire zone step

• Set Keyswitch Type to Transition. System Programming >> Security >>
Partition 1 >> Keyswitch Style (shortcut 0015)

• Set to Transition

✓ NOTE: Transition state keyswitch sensor is offi cially supported

(Please call Linear Technical Services if transition state is not
available).

Armed Status Output (GREEN WIRE)

Connection

Use alarm panel Output #2.

• Connect UC300-VC G terminal to alarm panel Output #2

Programming

• System Programming >> Onboard Options >> Output Programming >>
Output 2 >> Partition Assign (shortcut 11110)

• Set to 1 (usually, or whatever partition alarm system is setup to)

• System Programming >> Onboard Options >> Output Programming >>
Output 2 >> Confi guration (shortcut 11111)

• Enter 00903

✓ NOTE: 009 means armed stay or away states, 03 means to activate

output continuously.

GE Security Concord Express Series

Refer to the Concord 4 instructions. The keyswitch can only arm
