cate the status when connected to a DSC or Honeywell
control panel (when connected to a NAPCO control pan-
el, both LEDs remain off). The LED labeled "D44" is not
used.
When connected to a Honeywell control panel, D607
(green) flashes once every 5 seconds, and:
When D606 (red) is off = No troubles
When D606 (red) is flashing rapidly = Bootloader mode
When D606 (red) is flashing 1 = Keypad bus fault
When D606 (red) is flashing 3 = Configuration memory
error
When connected to a DSC control panel, D607 (green)
flashes twice every 5 seconds and:
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 / Resi-
dential 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 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. 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 per-
formance 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
conditioners, metal garage doors, etc.) as these loca-
tions 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
4
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 ra-
dio from a fully charged 12V (4AH minimum) bat-
tery. 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 pro-
vides 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 al-
ways 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 accord-
ance 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 equipment has been tested 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 In-
struction Manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that in-
terference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or tele-
vision reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
