NAPCO StarLink SLE-LTEV-SS User manual

IMPORTANT: The green Signal Strength LED will pro-
vide a valid reading only when the red Diagnostic LED is
NOT lit (blinking or solid) and the yellow Status LED is not
on solid.
Red Diagnostic LED: Labeled " D7" on the PCB, this LED
will light and flash when the unit is powered (see OPERA-
TION, above). One blink indicates a weak or non-existent
signal from the network (green RF Signal Strength LED is
off).
Green Power LED: When lit, the unit is powered on.
Note: To maximize battery life, press the "O" on the side
switch to power off when not in use.
Yellow Status LED: When the unit is first powered, this
LED will turn on solid for a few seconds, flash, remain on sol-
id again and then turn off. After a connection to the cell tower
is made and the unit is in a normal standby condition, it will
then blink momentarily every 10 seconds.
Red Trouble LED: This LED will blink as follows:
 1 Blink: Low Aux Power input voltage
 2 Blinks: Battery trouble
 3 Blinks: Alarm report Failed to Communicate
 4 Blinks: RF trouble (antenna connection or cellular
registration)
 5 Blinks: Network trouble (signal unable to reach the
SLE Control Center)
 6 Blinks: Unit disabled (reporting or control panel

The StarLink™ Signal Strength Tester allows you to perform a
site survey test of the premises to find the optimum installa-
tion locations for your StarLink™ alarm capture communica-
tor. Four different models are available, the SLE-LTEV-SS
and SLE-LTEV-SS-CF (LTE Verizon cellular network);
SLE-LTEA-SS and SLE-LTEA-SS-CF (LTE AT&T cellular
network).

OPERATION
1. Power on (press "–" on the rocker switch).
2. Wait 1-2 minutes for unit to enter "Standby Mode" with
LEDs indicating:
 Top Red LED flashes, then turns off
 Right Green LED flashes
 Yellow LED momentary flashes
3. Place unit in potential installation location.
4. Wait 2 minutes.
5. Count the right Green LED flashes (acceptable power
level is greater than or equal to 2 blinks).
 If moving location, go to step 4.
 If the top Red LED blinks or turns on solid, you MUST
go to step 2. If step 2 LED flashes do not occur, signal
is likely too weak (try a different location).
Power off when not in use and when charging. After
powering off, wait at least 30 seconds before power-
ing on.
LED DESCRIPTIONS
There are five (5) LEDs on the front of the unit:
Green RF Signal Strength LED: Every 30 seconds, the
StarLink communicator receiver turns on and listens to the
cell tower. Depending on the signal strength detected, this
LED will blink from 1 to 5 times at a constant rate (with a
short delay between blink cycles) to provide a signal strength
indicator that is updated constantly and is always displayed.
 Acceptable power level is greater than or equal to 2
blinks.

 7 Blinks: Unit was shut down and has no functionali-
ty; requires a restart (full power down and full power up
sequence) to restore operation
 8 Blinks: Telco Line Cut (this is not the DACT inter-
connect to the communicator)
REAR POWER PACK
The power pack has a button, two sockets, and LEDs:
 Power Button: The power switch for the power
pack. This Power Button does not need to be used,
and can remain untouched. If this button is pressed by
mistake, the unit will turn on but will automatically turn
off after about 10-15 seconds. If this button is pressed
twice quickly, the LED ("Flashlight") will turn on indefi-
nitely; to turn it off, press the button again twice quickly.
 Micro USB Charging Socket: When the battery
pack is low, power off the unit (press the "O" on the side
rocker switch) and insert the 5V/2A charger plug. Typi-
cal charging time is 5-8 hours if the battery is fully de-
pleted and will automatically stop charging when full.
Unit MUST BE OFF to properly charge battery.
 Flashlight: A Large LED. See the description of the
power pack Power Button, above.
 USB Socket: Do not use.
 Battery Life Indicator: See SPECIFICATIONS.
BATTERY PACK CAUTION: Risk of fire and burns; do not
open, bend, crush, drop, damage, heat above 65°C or incin-
erate. If damaged, battery pack may release toxic materials.
Dispose of at a designated facility.
