1 Overview The Uplink® 5500EZ is an “always on,” multi-purpose, FCC-certified device capable of sending and receiving alarm signals or other data over the LTE Cellular Network. When connected to an alarm system, the 5500EZ will send alarm signals over the cellular network to Uplink’s alarm processing center, that will forward the signals to the appropriate monitoring station and/or selected email addresses.
Before beginning installation: If you are not yet an Uplink dealer, register by visiting www.uplink.com and click on the new dealer account tab. 1. Activate the system. The Uplink 5500EZ operates “out of the box” with most commercial panels. No additional programming or equipment is required. To activate with default functions, go to www.uplink.com, or use the Uplink...
5. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before wiring. The standard configuration for the Uplink 5500EZ is to leave DIP switches S1 and S2 set to “OFF” (Input 1 triggered by 9V DC to 12V DC or an open collector). For detailed wiring instructions and alternative configurations, see UNIT WIRING on pages 8 and 9.
Installation and User Guide Installation When you have finished wiring and configuring the unit, re-apply power to the unit and wait at least two minutes then test the connection to the central station by creating an alarm from the panel. Note: The DIP switches are only read immediately after the unit is powered up.
