INTRODUCTION

The Uplink® 4530EX 4G Primary Alarm Communicator is a GSM alarm
communicator designed to be used with almost any manufacturer’s alarm
panels that incorporate a digital telephone dialer. The Uplink 4530EX provides a
“Primary” wireless interface to the protected premises and replaces the phone
line connection. The Uplink 4530EX unit will “intercept” the alarm panel’s digital
dialer output when the panel has an event to report, and communicate with the
panel as if it were a central station alarm receiver. Once the 4530EX completes a
communications session with the alarm panel, it will transmit the alarm information
using the local GSM cellular communications network. The Model 4530EX is
compatible with alarm systems and central stations using these formats: Contact
ID (SIA-DC05), SIA (SIA-DC03), Modem IIe/IIIa/IIIa2 or Pulse 4/2.

KEY FEATURES (cont.)

G. Automated Testing. The 4530EX can be programmed to send an automated test signal
to the central station on a monthly, weekly or daily interval.

H. GSM Network Supervision. Supervises the local GSM network. If the unit no longer
locates the local GSM Network, its output relay can be set up to report this trouble
condition.

I. Status/Received Signal Strength LEDs. The ve LEDs indicate the current operational

status and are visible from outside the enclosure. These LEDs can be placed into
Received Signal Strength Indication mode (RSSI) to assist in selecting the optimal
mounting location for transmitting and receiving cellular radio signals.

J. Easy Initiation. Ships with a SIM card, with easy activations available via the website at
www.uplink.com or by calling Uplink Customer Service:

1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-5465)
Requires the central station receiver phone number and/or its IP address
and Port number.

K. Web-based Services. Available at www.uplink.com and include:

a. secure login for dealers
b. immediate, real-time activation
c. history of past event transmissions
d. initiation of a test report
e. the ability to query the unit and receive a real-time radio report status
including a Received Signal Strength reading
f. programming the output and other internally generated events

KEY FEATURES

A. FULL DATA Reporting. Compatible with most alarm panels using Contact ID (SIA
DC-05 Standard), SIA FSK Level 1 (SIA DC-03 Standard), Modem IIe/IIIa/IIIa2 or
Pulse 4/2 digital dialer formats. All information sent by the alarm panel in these
formats (account number, zone information, User IDs, etc.) will be sent to the
central station using the GSM network.

B. Power Requirements: Requires constant 12V DC power from a power supply,
battery, or alarm panel with a constant 200 mA and a peak 600 mA for one second
during transmission.

C. Panel to 4530EX Cable Supervision. Monitors continuity of the cable connecting
the panel’s telephone dialer to the 4530EX. This feature is activated through the
website www.uplink.com or by calling Uplink Customer Service:

1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-5465)

D. Input. The 4530EX has one programmable input. This input can be programmed
to one of the following functions via the website:

• Standard Input

• Sampled Siren

• Pulse Counter

• Timed Bell

E. Output. The 4530EX has one programmable relay output. This output can be
programmed to activate upon the occurrence of one or more of the following
Trouble conditions:

• Cellular Network Loss

• No Central Station Acknowledgement

• Low DC input Voltage

• Panel/4530EX Cable Supervision Trouble

• Unit Disabled by Dealer Command

• Watchdog Circuit Activation

F. Power Source Monitoring (Low DC Input Voltage Reporting). The 4530EX can report a
low input Voltage condition to the central station when its DC input voltage drops
below 10.2V DC. It will report Low input Voltage Restoral at 11.4V DC.
