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.
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.
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.

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.

9. WIRING UC330-VC TO ALARM PANEL
Power down the alarm panel and disconnect battery. Connect the UC330-VC to the alarm
panel’s 12VDC auxiliary output, telco ring and tip, key switch arm/disarm, and armed status
terminals using the color coded wires (provided). After connecting all appropriate wires and
battery, turn on power to the alarm panel.

13. COMMUNICATOR ACTIVATION AND START-UP
NOTE: The unit must be activated prior to testing and use. After activating UC330-VC, the expected start-up sequence is as follows:
1. Power indicator fl ashes for 10 seconds then comes on solid
2. Within 30 seconds, the CELL IP indicator should start to fl ash slowly
3. Within 60 seconds, the CELL IP indicator should go solid. This may take up to fi fteen minutes in poor reception areas.
4. If this is the initial power on or power on after a fi rmware upgrade, the unit will receive its confi guration and may reboot.
5. Steps 1-3 above will then occur again
Once activated and connected, the normal Indicator status is
• Status Indicator: Solid
• Cell IP: Solid
• SS1, SS2, SS3: wireless signal strength
If this is not observed, consult the table in Step 14.

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an impor tant need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage,et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
