terminals. For primary reporting, do NOT install jumper 3
in terminal block "X5". The StarLink radio can also func-
tion as a backup to the existing telephone lines (install
jumper 3 in terminal block "X5"). When used as a backup
communicator and when it senses telephone line trouble,
the StarLink radio automatically switches the communica-
tion channel from the telephone line to the network.

NETWORK COVERAGE

The StarLink radio constantly supervises the network cov-
erage. When the StarLink radio is configured for primary
reporting, and the StarLink radio detects a loss in network
coverage, the StarLink radio must be configured to prompt
the control panel to announce a Telco Line Cut failure trou-
ble using the Management Center screen (located at
www.NapcoNoc.com). Note: This Telco Line Cut failure
trouble will NOT activate when the StarLink radio is config-
ured for backup reporting.

INSTALLATION STEPS

STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

Create a new account and register specific StarLink radio
modules at www.NapcoComNet.com. Accounts and mod-
ules 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 protect-
ed area and selected based on RF performance.
HIGHLY recommended that the installer carefully adhere to
the following recommendations BEFORE any wires are in-
stalled.
 Generally, high locations are best. DO NOT mount radio
in basements or below grade as unpredictable perfor-
mance may result.
 DO NOT mount the radio in non-climate controlled envi-
ronments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in sum-
mer, 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 con-
ditioners, 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 Star-
Link radio so as to achieve an optimal RF path. The
installer should spend as much time as needed to obtain
the highest signal level possible.
 For Commercial Burglary installations, install in accord-
ance with UL 681, Standard for Installation and Classifi-
cation of Burglary and Holdup Alarm Systems. Installa-
tion shall also be in accordance with UL 827, Standard
for Central-Station Alarm Services, and UL 1641, Stand-
ard for Installation and Classification of Residential Bur-
glar Alarm Systems
a. Before applying power, be sure to connect the
antennas. Temporarily connect power to the Star-
Link radio from a fully charged 12V (4AH minimum)
battery. DO NOT mount the 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
"D3" (located at the lower right corner of the PC
board). The 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 mini-
mum 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 al-
ways maintained between the antenna of the transmitting
device and nearby persons.
STEP 3: WIRING (PRIMARY AND BACKUP MODES)
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. See the section CONTROL PANEL PROGRAM-
MING further in this manual.
For Primary Mode:
Remove jumper #3 in jumper block labeled "X5". The wir-
ing between the control panel and the StarLink radio is over
five (5) wires, as follows:
 TB1: PWR (+12V) Note: Model SLE-LTEV-CFB is
rated 12/24VDC input.
 TB2: PWR GND (–)
 TB13: PANEL TIP
 TB12: PANEL RING
 TB3: PGM1 (–). Normally low output wired to the
(+) of a zone dedicated to monitoring the radio status.
See page 12 for GEMC-F8ZCPIM wiring. Should be
programmed on Napco control panels as Day Zone, but
be programmed to sound locally and NOT activate the
bell. Note: See steps "a" and "b", below.
For Backup Mode:
Install jumper #3 in jumper block labeled "X5". The wiring
between the control panel and the StarLink radio is over
seven (7) wires, as follows:
 TB1: PWR (+12 or 12/24V)
 TB2: PWR GND (–)
 TB10: TIP
 TB11: RING
 TB13: PANEL TIP
 TB12: PANEL RING
 TB3: PGM1 (–). Normally low output wired to the
(+) of a zone dedicated to monitoring the radio status
(see page 12 for GEMC-F8ZCPIM wiring). Should be
programmed on Napco panels as Day Zone, but be
programmed to sound locally and NOT activate the bell.
a. Without applying power (voltage), connect to screw
terminals TB1 (+12 or 12/24V) and TB2 (–). If the
control panel Aux. Output cannot supply the neces-
sary current, then you must use the SLE-ULPS-R
Power Supply accessory with additional battery (see
WI2131). For wiring connections, see the wiring dia-
grams further in this manual.
b. Referencing the correct wiring diagram for the ap-
propriate control panel (wiring diagrams are located
further in this manual), connect the "TELCO" control
