1. Introduction
Uplink’s MODEL 4555 Fire Panel with Built-In Wireless Alarm Communicator is an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed alarm and critical event primary communicator designed to interface with
any event monitoring interface having switch closure characteristics. The 4555 features two
independent transmission paths from the unit to the Central Station, TELCO and GSM Cellular
Network. The cellular radio provides primary signaling, or secondary communications to the
TELCO interface. In backup, if TELCO connection is compromised, or if no TELCO connection is
present, the 4555 will automatically send any alarm information via its GSM connection, through
the Uplink gateway and to the Central Station. In either case the alarm communicator transmits the
alarm information to the central station receiver in either Contact ID (SIA-DC05) or SIA (SIA-DC03)
format.
In addition, the 4555 uses GSM technology to receive programming and setup information.
The unit has 4 supervised inputs and 3 outputs and can be programmed to automatically send a
test message at periodic intervals.

2. Key Features
A. Discrete Event Reporting. All information sent by the alarm communicator in Contact ID or
SIA formats (account number, zone information, user IDs, etc.) will be sent to the central station
using the telephone line or the GSM network.
B. Telephone Line Supervision. Features a built-in telephone line monitoring circuit designed to
detect voltage (in the On-Hook state) or voltage and current (in the O-Hook state). If insucient
voltage or current is detected, the unit will substitute the GSM cellular network for the Public
Switched Telephone Network as the communications path for sending event information. A TELCO
loss alarm will be generated and the on-board buzzer will annunciate, thereby providing local
indication of TELCO loss.
C. Input Signal Supervision. Each of the 4 inputs has the ability to supervise the connection to the
input source. EOL resistors assure that there is no undetected break in the input signal wiring.
D. Zone Inputs. There are many types of events that can be reported or mapped to a local
notication appliance covering input alarms, ground faults, input troubles, AC power loss, Battery
power loss, Telco troubles and GSM Network troubles. Each of these events is assigned a specic
zone number by default and can be re-programmed Over-the-Air via the Support Web site.
E. Outputs. There are three programmable outputs. Output 1 is a Supervisory NAC - 24VDC
output capable of driving up to 400mA. Output 2 is a form B relay that is normally open when
energized and is congurable. Output 3 is a resettable smoke power output and, for UL
compliance, may only be used as such. It is a 24VDC output capable of driving up to 160mA.
Outputs 1 and 2 can be programmed Over-the-Air and in addition, can be activated on the
occurrence of one or more of the following trouble or alarm conditions:
• Cellular Network Loss
• No Central Station Acknowledgment
• AC Loss
• Low or Missing Battery
• Telco Line Loss
• Loss of supervision of Input(s)
• Loss of supervision of Outputs(s)
• Activation of Input(s)
• Unit Disabled by Dealer Command
• Watchdog Circuit Activation
• Catastrophic Failure Condition
• Ground Fault Detection

4555
F. Power Source Monitoring (AC & Low Battery Reporting). Reports low battery conditions to
the central station when voltage drops below 20.4 VDC. Reports Low Battery Restoral. Reports No
Battery if the voltage is below 1 VDC. It can also be programmed to report Loss of AC power to the
central station. This occurs at 89.9 VAC and restores at 93.4 VAC.
G. Local Annunciation. All TROUBLES, ALARMS, and FIRE ALARMS are annunciated by an on-
board buzzer, as well as visually indicated via an LED block, viewable from outside the enclosure.
Alarms can be silenced with a single push of the silence/reset switch, and can be cleared with a
double push of the silence/reset switch.
H. Automated Testing. Sends an automated test signal to the central station on a monthly,
weekly or daily interval as programmed. Must be programmed for daily to be UL compliant.
I. GSM Network Supervision. Supervises the local GSM network. If the unit no longer locates
the local GSM network, one of its output relays activates to report this trouble condition locally. The
unit then automatically takes steps to restore the network connection.
J. 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.
K. UL Compliant metal enclosure. The unit is housed in an industry accepted Red metal
enclosure, complete with local audible and visual annunciators. A single push button switch can be
used to silence or reset the alarms/trouble annunciators.
L. Easy Service Initiation. Ships with an active SIM card, with easy activations available via the
Web at www.uplink.com or by calling Uplink Customer Service at 1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-
5465). Requires the central station receiver phone number and/or its IP address and Port number.
M. Web-based Services. Available at www.uplink.com and include:
a. immediate, real-time activation
b. history of past event transmissions
c. initiation of a test report
d. the ability to query the unit and receive a real-time radio report status including a Received
Signal Strength reading
e. programming inputs and other internally generated events

7. Installation and Conguration
NOTICE TO USERS, INSTALLERS, AUTHORITIES HAVING
JURISDICTION AND OTHER INVOLVED PARTIES
This product incorporates eld-programmable software which can be changed over the GSM
Wireless connection. In order for the product to comply with the requirements in the Standard
for Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, certain programming
features or options must be limited to specic values.
The list of possible modiable conguration options, as well as the proper settings to maintain UL
864 Compliance, is listed in Appendix C: Web-congurable parameters for UL compliance.
A. General Considerations
Determine where to mount the unit. Keep the following in mind:
a. Obtain the best transmitted and received signal strength for the cellular radio. (If a very strong
cellular signal is not available, rst power the unit with the AC power and turn on S4 to test for
the location that provides the best signal strength.)
b. Proximity to a non-switched Plug for the AC transformer.
c. Proximity to the monitoring equipment and where to route the 4555 unit’s relay outputs that
connect other devices (These wires will need to be in conduit for a UL certicated installation.
See the UL Compliance Section.)
d. Proximity to the RJ31X Telco jack from the telephone system.
B. DIP Switch Settings
The 4555 has a four-position dipswitch. The dipswitches function as follows:
SWITCH NO. SETTING FUNCTION
S1: Default OFF Normal Operations
Load ON Load defaults
S2: OTA OFF OTA conguration Allowed
Operation ON OTA conguration Blocked
S3: Buzzer OFF Normal Operations
Override ON Buzzer disabled
S4: LED OFF Normal Operations
Function ON RSSI Measurements
uplink.com
13
®
4555
Notes:
S1 can be used to set the unit back to factory defaults. ALL CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS WILL
BE LOST. Turn S1 on, LEDs will ash red / green several times, then stay solid red. Unit is now
defaulted – turn S1 o.
S2 can be used to ‘lock down’ a conguration option. However, as long as S2 is ON, NO OTA
(Over-the-Air) CONFIGURATION commands will be accepted.
S3 can be used to temporarily silence the on-board buzzer. FOR UL OPERATION, this switch must
be turned o.
S4 can be used to nd the most optimal signal strength during installation. This switch must also
be turned o for UL operation.
C. Local Sounder Information
A sounder on the circuit board is included and it generates a tone of volume such that it is
consistent with UL864.
The Sounder is programmable and may be turned on and o via the Local test as well as OTA. The
Sounder generates three distinct tone patterns:
1. Temporal - this is where the tone is on for .5 seconds, o for .5 seconds, on for .5 seconds, o
for .5 seconds, on for .5 seconds, o for 1.5 seconds and then repeats.
This is used when the alarm mapped to the ZONES 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 is allocated to a FIRE
ALARM (default).
Note: This alarm, as long as it is active, takes precedence over any other sound.
2. Constant - tone is always on. If any ZONE 1-4 is congured as an ALARM other than FIRE.
An example of this might be if ZONE1 is congured as an ALARM (generic). It is also used when
testing the sounder.
3. Short Pulse - this is where the tone is on for .5 seconds and o for 4.5 seconds. This is used
when any TROUBLE or ALARM is detected that is not due to ZONE1-4 going o-normal (e.g.
ZONE1 Unsupervised or Telco Loss).
D. LED Information
Normal Mode: Upon initial power up, the 5 LEDs on The 4555 will begin to function as follows:
Note: During the 3 second “settling” time after power-up, all of the LEDs will be lit to
indicate the startup sequence is in progress.

1. Power (LED 1)
i. AC present – GREEN ON. This indicates that AC power is present and able to power
the logic and the radio (> 10V) but not necessarily high enough to charge the battery (>18V). If
Battery voltage is low (<=20.4V) or the battery is missing, RED ON will be displayed. The
Battery voltage must reach the minimal level (22.8V) for the LED to restore.
ii. Switched to battery power – SLOW FLASH GREEN if Battery voltage >20.4V,
SLOW FLASH RED if <= 20.4V.
iii. No power - OFF
2. TELCO (LED 2)
i. Dialer on-hook, TELCO line present – GREEN ON
ii. Dialer o-hook, TELCO line present - GREEN SLOW FLASH
iii. TELCO missing or disabled – RED ON
iv. TELCO is o-hook, TELCO line present - RED SLOW FLASH
v. Dialer Trouble - if the dialer fails 8 (a programmable value) times or if the TELCO line is
disconnected after the dialer goes o-hook to forward a message - alternate RED/GREEN FLASH and the Sounder is activated. Pressing the push-button shuts o the sounder and
clears the LED RED/GREEN FLASH. If the external push button is not pressed, the Dialer
Trouble LED2 alert is cleared when the next dialer message is successfully transmitted.
Note:
The only way to silence the sounder is to press the push-button.
3. TROUBLE (Alarm) (LED 3)
i. All of the Zone Inputs are NORMAL and there are no Troubles - GREEN ON
ii. One or more of the Zone inputs are OFF-NORMAL - RED ON. This may either indicate a re alarm, or some other kind of alarm or trouble depending on how the Zone has been mapped.
iii. A Trouble Event has been declared - RED FAST FLASH
1. This coincides with annunciation of the on-board buzzer
uplink.com
15
®
4555
iv. A Trouble has been silenced via the push-button - RED/GREEN FLASH
Notes:
1. If one or more inputs are set OFF NORMAL, the RED ON supersedes the
TROUBLE indicator.
2. Once the OFF NORMAL has been cleared, the device must restore the TROUBLE event
states until they, too, are cleared.
3. If the LED is RED/GREEN FLASH and a new TROUBLE is detected, the on-board buzzer
will activate and the LED will transition to RED FLASH.
4. Wireless Communication (LED 4)
i. Registered on the wireless network – GREEN ON
ii. Communicating with the Uplink Backend – GREEN FLASH
iii. Not registered on the GSM Network – RED ON
5. Heartbeat (LED 5) and Unit Disabled from the Web
i. 1 second heartbeat indicating the software is operating - GREEN FLASH (ON 0.1 second,
OFF 1.9 seconds)
ii. If the unit is disabled from the Web - RED FLASH.
iii. If unit is in the push-button initiated 5 second display Location Mode, it will be OFF.
iv. If push-button is held for > 5 seconds, the 4555 switches to Zone Status Mode, indicated by a
rapid GREEN FLASH of LED5.
Location Mode: At any time, after a single push button press and for a period of 5 seconds
thereafter, LED1, LED2, LED3, and LED4 are temporarily re-assigned. This is to aid in diagnosing
the event causing the TROUBLE/ALARM without the need to log into the Uplink website. However,
more complete information will always be available on the website.
1. Input Zone Troubles are shown on LED1.
2. 24V Supervised Trouble is shown on LED2
3. GF Detection is shown on LED3
4. Any other TROUBLE is shown on LED4
