TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS
Configure all inputs and outputs using the Management
Center (the Napco "NOC" located at http://NapcoNoc2.com).
Located at the bottom of the StarLink radio PC board, the 20
terminals are described as follows:
TB1: PWR (+) +10 - 15VDC.
Do NOT connect to FWR power.
TB2: PWR (–)
TB3: PGM1 (–): Open collector output. PGM1 is nor-
mally on (active low). When it is triggered (for example, a trouble is detected) it becomes open collector/
high. To have a zone dedicated to an StarLink radio
trouble, insert one side of the end of line resistor into
this PGM1 terminal, and wire the other side of the
resistor to the positive terminal of the zone.
TB4: PGM2 (–): Open collector output. This output is
normally open collector / high. When a report fails to
communicate anywhere in the communications path,
the output is active low.
TB5: PGM3 (–): Open collector output. This output is
normally open collector / high. Use the Napco "NOC"
to configure options for PGM activation.
TB6:IN 1: Active high input for wiring to the control
panel bell output. When this input detects a pulsing
temporal 3 high, it sends a Fire alarm; a pulsing temporal 4 (CO Alarm), a CO alarm is sent. For this input to report to a central station, the StarLink radio
must be configured with the central station telephone
number and correct reporting formats and codes.
TB7: IN 2: See TB9, below .
TB8: GND: Common ground terminal.
TB9: IN 3: Both terminals IN 2 and IN 3 default to 'User
Defined'; no end-of-line resistor supervision required.
Wire the common ground terminal GND (terminal
TB8) to the relay common. When used as ar m/
disarm status input, a low indicates "armed" and a
high indicates "disarmed". For these inputs to report
to a central station, the radio must be configured with
the central station telephone number and correct reporting formats and codes.

RED TROUBLE LED
Labeled "D5", this LED is located at the bottom right of the
PC board. Operation is as follows:
1 Blink: Low Aux Power input voltage
2 Blinks: Battery trouble
3 Blinks: Alarm report Failed to Communicate (will
restore only when both paths are operational)
4 Blinks: RF trouble (antenna connection or cellular
registration)
5 Blinks: Radio poll or check-in failure (radio only).
The unit must only fail on one path to trigger the trouble,
but for the trouble to clear, unit requires both IP and radio polling / checkins to be operational.
6 Blinks: Unit disabled (reporting or control panel
downloading not allowed)
7 Blinks: Unit was shutdown and has no functionali-
ty; requires a restart (full power down and full power up
sequence) to restore operation.
RED DIAGNOSTIC LED
Labeled "D7", this LED is located in the middle of the PC
board. One blink indicates a weak or non-existent signal
from the network (green LED is off). If this red LED is
blinking in any other manner, please contact technical support.
NETWORK CONNECTION LEDs
Labeled "DS14" (green), "DS15" (yellow) and
"DS16" (red), these LEDs are located at the bo ttom
right of the PC board.
The green LED labeled "DS14" describes the IP network
connection type or the connection quality, as follows:
When DS14 is off = No network cable detected
When DS14 is flashing rapidly = No IP connection
(occurs just after power on while trying to obtain an IP
address; therefore has priority over any other green
flashing LEDs)
When DS14 is flashing slowly = Normal operation:
1 Slow Blink: Static IP Address (as programed by
the NOC)
2 Slow Blinks: DHCP (default)
3 Slow Blinks: Auto IP (if unable to acquire DHCP
address, after 5 minutes radio will convert to Auto IP.
The Yellow LED labeled "DS15" describes the status of
the IP network.
When DS15 is off = No power
When DS15 is flashing rapidly = Push button on Wi-Fi
module is being pressed
When DS15 is flashing steady with 1 quick blink off eve-
ry 2 seconds = Reporting signal to NOC
When DS15 is flashing steady with 2 quick blinks off
every 2 seconds = Downloading to control panel or the
module
When DS15 is flashing slowly:
1 Slow Blink: Ethernet available (must detect that
the CAT5 cable is connected and must be connected
to the Internet via customer router, etc.)
The red LED labeled "DS16" describes the IP network
troubles.
When DS16 is off = No network troubles detected
When DS16 is flashing rapidly = No IP connection
(occurs just after power up while the radio tries to obtain
a DHCP IP address
When DS16 is flashing slowly:
1 Slow Blink: No network cable detected
2 Slow Blinks: No network cable access to the
Internet (mutually exclusive with "1 Blink"). If the radio
is configured for only an Ethernet connection (no WiFi) and the Ethernet cable is connected but the router
is non-functional, the radio will detect the loss of access to the Internet within a programmable amount of
seconds. The default of 500 seconds (8-1/3 minutes)
is intended to display a trouble to the installer sooner
in case the account is set for 1-hour, 24-hour or 7-day
Supervisory Failure
3 Slow Blinks: Ethernet failed to communicate
4 Slow Blinks: Ethernet poll / chec k -in failure
5 Slow Blinks: Wi-Fi enabled but the SLE-WIFI-
MODULE is not detected
6 Slow Blinks: = No Wi -Fi access to the Internet.
May occur when the Wi-Fi and the network cable each
access the Internet via separate means (for example
two different routers). Note: This indication may be
combined with the "2 Blinks" indication if both the Wi-
Fi and network cable use the same ISP.
7 Slow Blinks: Wi-Fi failed to communicate

When D606 (red) is off = No troubles
When D606 (red) is flashing rapidly = Bootloader mode
When D606 (red) is flashing 1 = Keypad bus fault
(radio terminals 12 and 13)
When D606 (red) is flashing 2 = DSC download con-
nection faulted (radio terminals 19 and 20)
SUPPLYING POWER TO THE RADIO
Control panels can provide power through their Auxiliary
Power terminals if the available standby current is reduced
by the SLE standby power. If the control panel Auxiliary
Power is insufficient to power the communicator, a suitably
rated power limited Residential Fire or Commercial / Residential Burglary power supply may be used (such as the
model GEMC-12V2APS).
RADIO INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific StarLink radio
modules at www.NapcoComNet.com. Accounts and modules registered via the Internet are enabled for activation
within 24 hours.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be indoors within the protected area and selected based on RF performance. It is
HIGHLY recommended that the installer carefully adhere to
the following recommendations BEFORE any wires are
installed.
Generally, high locations are best. DO NOT mount ra-
dio in basements or below grade as unpredictable performance may result.
DO NOT mount the radio in non-climate controlled envi-
ronments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in summer, 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
conditioners, metal garage doors, etc.) as these locations have been shown to have a detrimental effect on
signal strength.
A fair amount of care may be required to mount the ra-
dio so as to achieve an optimal RF path. The installer
should spend as much time as needed to obtain the
highest signal level possible.
a. Before applying power, be sure to connect the
antenna. Temporarily connect power to the radio from a fully charged 12V (4AH minimum) battery. DO NOT mount the StarLink radio at this time.
Press Tamper switch to send a signal.
b. Position the unit in the desired mounting location,
with antenna oriented vertically. The signal strength
is displayed by the Green "Signal Strength LED"
labeled "D3" (located at the lower right corner of the
PC board). The CDMA radio tower signal strength
may fluctuate from day to day, therefore it is best to
try to find a mounting location where the LED provides a minimum of 4 blinks.
c. Once a location has been selected based on signal
coverage, permanently secure the unit using #8
screws (not supplied) in the two mounting holes.
WARNING: To ensure user safety and to satisfy FCC
RF exposure requirements, this unit must be installed so
that a minimum separation distance of 60cm (24") is always maintained between the antenna of the transmitting
device and nearby persons.
STEP 3: WIRING
22-gauge wire may be used if mounted up to 50 feet from
the control panel, and 18-gauge wire should be used for up
to 100 feet. Reference the wiring diagrams further in this
manual. All wiring methods must be performed in accordance with NFPA70, Articles 725, and 800
STEP 4: APPLY POWER
Attach antenna before applying power !
Apply 12 VDC to terminals 1 and 2.
STEP 5: SIGNAL VERIFICATION After triggering channels, use the StarLink radio Signal Ver-
ification to ensure that the StarLink radio Network has
properly received the signals.
Verify Online: To verify that the signals have been
received by the StarLink radio Network online, go to
http://NapcoNoc2.com, log in with your Username and
Password, enter your Company ID number and the
StarLink Radio Number, then click Signal Log.
IMPORTANT: Verify that the signals transmitted by the
StarLink radio have been properly received by your central
station before leaving the premises.
NOTE: This equ ipment has been test ed and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B Unintentional Radiator,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Instruction Manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
4 StarLink
™
Connect SLECDMA-CB Series Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions
Page 5
rect the interference by one of more of the following
measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; 2.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; 4. Consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NAPCO CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING
To program the central station receiver reporting format,
use PCD-Windows Quickloader download software. Open
the Digita l Communications screen, Central Station Receiv-ers tab, as shown in the following image:
A "Point ID" (also called "Contact ID") receiver format pro-
gramming example:
The radio can transmit to any central station capable of re-
ceiving Contact ID or the DSC Sur-Gard System II or SurGard System V central station receivers via TCP/IP.
Note: A receiver reporting format must be entered for
each telephone number used, but each telephone number
may be assigned a different format.
CAUTION: The installer should always be certain an area
code is programmed into the control panel.
Optional: If you wish the StarLink radio to report a code
and zone number (Contact ID by default) to the central station
in response to a triggered input event, see the table on page
6. Note: These event codes and zone numbers c an be
changed from the Management Center screen (located at
http://NapcoNoc2.com).
Programming StarLink Radio Troubles
It is required that if a StarLink radio or control panel trouble is
detected, that it is reported to the central station.
When the StarLink radio detects and sends a trouble to the
control panel, the control panel must be programmed to annunciate this trouble. The radio can detect multiple troubles
as indicated by the "Red Trouble LED" ("D5"). For these
troubles to be annunciated at the control panel, there are
several methods, some of them are configurable at the Management Center screen (http://NapcoNoc2.com):
Wire the radio PGM1 output to a dedicated control panel
zone (input) to annunciate the trouble (activate a trouble
sounder) when an open is detected. With Napco control
panels, program a dedicated zone for Day Zone, Minisounder on Alarm and No bell on Alarm. Wire the zone as
indicated in the wiring diagrams further in this manual.
For radio models powered by the control panel Aux Power
terminals, wire the radio directly to the PGM1 output of the
control panel (program the radio to report all troubles on
PGM1).
You can also wire to the positive terminal of the dedicated
zone on a GEMC-EZM8. Thus when a radio trouble is detected, the radio PGM activates the control panel zone, and
the control panel generates a trouble.
StarLink Panel / Radio Supervision of Tip/Ring Wiring
The StarLink radio connection to the control panel shall be
supervised with local trouble annunciation and report to the
central station if the Tip/Ring wiring is cut or shorted.
For local annunciation of radio troubles, the control panel
must be programmed for Telco line supervision that will produce a local trouble at the premises (refer to control panel
programming).
To report the radio trouble to the central station:
1. Program the unit (select "Y") for the "Tip/Ring Wiring
Fault Report" feature located in the Advanced Features
screen of the Napco "NOC" (at http://NapcoNoc2.com).
2. Install the supplied 10K EOLR across the control panel
terminals normally intended to be wired to the home telephone if Telco service was used (shown in the wiring
diagram examples).
Note: Some control panels may require a different dura-
tion than the default time of 3 minutes. See also the alternate supervision method described below, "Telco Line to
Alarm Panel Supervision (For Primary Mode Only)".
Supervision Time Schedule Considerations
If a status change (alarm trouble, etc.) is transmitted, the ra-
dio supervision timer is restarted.
For example, if a status change is sent, the next regular su-
pervision transmission will occur at the interval determined
by your rate plan.
Telco Line to Alarm Panel Supervision
A 10K ohm resistor (5% tolerance) can be placed across the "house side" of the telephone line circuit
(see wiring diagrams). Use this resistor instead of using a relay on the alarm control panel to trip an input
on the radio to supervise the connection between the alarm control panel telco circuit and the radio.
REMEMBER: Enable the feature " Tip / Ring Wiring Fault Report" in the NOC
(www.NapcoComNet.com) to supervise the telephone line connection to the control panel.
