INTRODUCTION
The SLE-LTEVI-FIRE and SLE-LTEAI-FIRE Dual-Path
Alarm Communicators are specifically designed to interface
with FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panels) and to comply with
UL 864. The communicators are equipped with two dry
relays, one for a trouble output and one for an auxiliary out-
put. The units are also equipped with four supervised in-
puts to report a Fire Alarm, a Fire Trouble, a Water Flow
Alarm and a Supervisory Alarm, each triggered from the
N/O and Common terminals of the associated FACP output
relays. These communicators are for use as the primary
means of communication with the central station and do not
have backup mode capability. Dual Path Communicators
can also be utilized as a Sole Path Cell Communicator. No
POTS (Telco Line) connection permitted.
When connected to a FACP with one or two standard RJ-
45 telephone inputs, the SLE-LTEVI-FIRE and SLE-LTEAI
-FIRE provide two RJ-45 outputs to satisfy both telephone
inputs. The primary RJ-45 output is supervised and reports
a trouble to the central station upon any open or short on
the primary RJ-45 wires that prevent reporting. The sec-
ondary telephone line is supervised by the FACP; when a
line fault is detected, a trouble is reported to the central
station through the primary telephone line.
The SLE-LTEVI-FIRE and SLE-LTEAI-FIRE are compati-
ble with most 12 or 24VDC alarm control panels (always
adhere to the documentation provided by the control panel
manufacturer). Mount to a single-, dual-, or three-gang
electrical box and route the wires through the back knock-
out(s), or as specified by local codes. See WI2140 for pro-
gramming information.
The SLE-LTEVI-FIRE and SLE-LTEAI-FIRE communica-
tors use proprietary data-capture technology that captures
the alarm report from the control panel and transmits the
alarm signals to the SLE Control Center; the alarm signals
are then forwarded to ANY central station via Contact ID or
4/2 via DACT from the NOC or Sur-Gard System II, Sur-
Gard System V, Bosch D6100IPV6 or Bosch D6600 Re-
ceiver (with ITS-D6686 Ethernet Adapter) via TCP/IP using
standard line security. The SLE Control Center reports a
trouble signal in the event that the network does not re-
ceive the expected supervision signal from the wireless
communicator. In addition, the SLE-LTEVI-FIRE and SLE-
LTEAI-FIRE are powered directly from the control
panel. Note: UL Listed for UL 1076 APOU Proprietary
Alarm Systems and UL 365 APAW Police Connect when
reporting to a UL Listed Central Station Receiver Listed for
UL 1076 APOU Proprietary Alarm Systems or UL 365

(Refer to section "STEP 4: APPLY POWER")
TB2: PWR GND (–)
(Refer to section "STEP 4: APPLY POWER")
TB3: PGM3 (–): Open collector output. PGM3 is normally
on (active low). When it is triggered (for example, a
trouble is detected) it becomes open collector/high.
To have a zone dedicated to an StarLink radio trou-
ble, insert one side of the end of line resistor into this
PGM3 terminal, and wire the other side of the resis-
tor to the positive terminal of the zone.
TB4: IN 1 (+): Smart Channel input. Active high input
for wiring to the control panel bell output. When this
input detects a pulsing temporal 3 high, it sends a
Fire alarm; a pulsing temporal 4 (CO Alarm), a CO
alarm is sent. When used, these conductors must
be run in conduit (max 20 feet for Commercial Fire,
and 3 feet for Residential Fire). For this input to re-
port to a central station, the StarLink radio must be
configured with the central station telephone num-
ber and correct reporting formats and codes. For
more information, see WI2140 located at
www.NapcoNOC.com.
TB5: IN 2 (+): Fire Trouble input**. Wire to FACP
trouble relay N/O with parallel 10K EOLR at FACP.

4StarLink™ SLE-LTEVI-FIRE & SLE-LTEAI-FIRE Commercial Series Dual-Path Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions
The SLE series radios are compatible with 4/2 Pulse Dial-
ing formats with 10pps, 20pps, and 40pps with and with-
out checksum, either 1400Hz or 2300Hz handshake /
kissoff. See table of formats on page 5.
Refer to WI2140 for selecting the required handshake /
kissoff frequency in the NOC (www.NapcoNOC.com) set-
up screens (as required by the control panel).
NETWORK COVERAGE
The StarLink radio constantly supervises the cell network
coverage. When the StarLink radio detects a loss in net-
work coverage, the StarLink radio must be configured to
prompt the control panel to announce a Telco Line Cut
failure trouble using the Management Center screen
(located at www.NapcoNOC.com).
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific StarLink radio
modules at www.NapcoComNet.com. Accounts and
modules registered via the Internet are enabled for activa-
tion within 24 hours.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be indoors within the pro-
tected 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
radio in basements or below grade as unpredictable
performance may result.
 DO NOT mount the radio in non-climate controlled en-
vironments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in
summer, garages may become extremely cold in win-
ter).
 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
locations have been shown to have a detrimental ef-
fect on signal strength.
 A fair amount of care may be required to mount the
radio so as to achieve an optimal RF path. The install-
er 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 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 2 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.
Fast Flash = No IP connection (occurs just after
power on while trying to obtain a DHCP address)
Slow Flashing:
 1 Blink: No network cable detected
 2 Blinks: No access to the Internet
 3 Blinks: Ethernet failed to communicate
 4 Blinks: Ethernet poll / checkin fail
 5 Blinks: Wi-Fi is enabled, but SLE-WIFI-MODULE
is not detected
 6 Blinks: Wi-Fi no access to the Internet
 7 Blinks: Wi-Fi failed to communicate
 8 Blinks: Wi-Fi poll / checkin failure
 9 Blinks: Wi-Fi serial data error or no serial data re-
sponse
 10 Blinks: Wi-Fi Security / Authentication failed
YELLOW IP NETWORK STATE LED
Labeled "D15" (or DS15), this LED is located to the right
of the ETHERNET socket on the PC board. Operation
is as follows:
Off = No power
Steady with 1 quick blink off every 1.7 seconds
when reporting signal to NOC
Steady with 2 quick blinks off every 1.7 seconds
when downloading to control panel or the module
Slow Flashing:
 1 Blink: Ethernet Available
 2 Blinks: Wi-Fi Station Mode (normal operation)
SUPPLYING POWER
Control panels can provide power through their Auxiliary/
Remote Fire Power terminals if the available standby cur-
rent is reduced by the SLE standby power (refer to Electri-
cal Ratings for +12V / 24V).
Note: The cable modem/router and switch (if any) at
the premises requires standby power, therefore a UL 1481,
UL 864 or ITE (Information Technology Equipment) Listed
UPS must be used at the premises to power these devices
for 24 hours (unless an engine driven generator is provided
on the premises, then only 4 hours of UPS backup are re-
quired).

radio is over several wires, as follows:
 TB1: PWR
 TB2: PWR GND (–)
 TB21: N/C OUT1: Wired to the (+) of a zone dedi-
cated to monitoring the radio status. Should be pro-
grammed on Napco GEMC control panels as Monitor
or Supervisory Zone.
 TELCO PRIMARY to FACP Telco 1 RJ-45 socket.
 TELCO SECONDARY to FACP Telco 2 RJ-45 sock-
et.
 (Place JP1 shunt on bottom two pins)
 Optional: Wire IN2 with a 10K EOLR in parallel
with the FACP trouble relay output Common and N/O
(or in series with Common and N/C).
Wiring Methods
 Strip wire carefully to avoid exposed conductors after
installation, etc.)
 Use of Listed wire, ensuring that all conductors are to
be insulated for the maximum voltage of any conductor
in the enclosure
 All wiring methods must be performed in accordance
with NFPA70, Articles 725, and 800

Programming StarLink Radio Troubles
It is required that if a StarLink radio or control panel trouble
is detected, that it is reported to the central station.
When the StarLink radio detects and sends a trouble to the
control panel, the control panel must be programmed to
annunciate this trouble. The radio can detect multiple trou-
bles as indicated by the "Red Trouble LED" ("D5"). For
these troubles to be annunciated at the control panel, there
are several methods, some of them are configurable at the
Management Center screen (www.NapcoNOC.com):
Wire the radio OUT1 relay to a dedicated control panel
zone (input) to annunciate the trouble. Two wiring options
are available:
 Activate the trouble with an open by wiring the
EOLR in series with the Common and N/C of the
OUT1 relay;
 Activate the trouble with a short by wiring the
EOLR in parallel with the Common and N/O of
the OUT1 relay
The radio must also report this trouble to the central station.
With NAPCO GEMC series control panels, wire the zone as
indicated in the wiring diagrams further in this manual.
Optionally, the FACP trouble relay can be used to trigger a
report to the central station.
Wire the FACP trouble relay to IN2; Common and N/O ter-
minals in parallel with a 10K EOLR. With Gemini C-Series
(GEMC) control panels, we recommend using the Fire Aux
Relay. Program the Fire Aux Relay to activate as a trouble
relay. Wire this relay to the StarLink module IN 2 terminal;
by wiring the EOLR in parallel with Common and N/O of the
OUT1 relay. Note: We recommend using the text
"Radio Trouble" as the Zone Description.
StarLink Radio Supervision
If the two Telco wires (DACT interconnect wiring to the ra-
dio) between the StarLink radio and the control panel are
cut or otherwise disconnected, the control panel must de-
tect and generate a local trouble indication. Program the
control panel for telephone supervision. Program the Star-
Link radio using the Management Center Advanced Fea-
tures screen (at www.NapcoNOC.com) to enable Tip/
Ring Wiring Fault Report. Refer to wiring diagram.
Supervision Time Schedule Considerations
If a status change (alarm trouble, etc.) is transmitted, the
radio supervision timer is restarted.
For example, if a status change is sent, the next regular
supervision transmission will occur at the interval deter-
mined by your rate plan.

CONTROL PANEL PROGRAMMING
To program the central station receiver reporting format,
use PCD-Windows Quickloader download software. Open
the Digital Communications screen, Central Station Re-
ceivers tab, as shown in the following image:
A "Point ID" (also called "Contact ID") receiver format pro-
gramming example:
The radio can transmit to any central station capable of
receiving SIA Contact ID or 4/2 via DACR technology or
the DSC Sur-Gard Model System II or Sur-Gard System V
central station receivers, Bosch D6100IPV6 or Bosch
D6600 Receiver (with ITS-D6686 Ethernet Adapter) via
TCP/IP using standard line security.
Note: A receiver reporting format must be entered for
each telephone number used, but each telephone number
may be assigned a different format.
CAUTION: The installer should always be certain an
area code is programmed into the control panel.
Optional: If you wish the StarLink radio to report a code
and zone number (Contact ID by default) to the central sta-
tion in response to a triggered input event, see the table on

StarLink™ SLE-LTEVI-FIRE & SLE-LTEAI-FIRE Commercial Series Dual-Path Alarm Communicators -- Installation Instructions 7
ble signal shall be sent to Central Station within 5
minutes of failure by the remained active channel.
d. Reliability of the signal shall be achieved by any of the
following:
 Signal repetition - multiple transmissions repeating
the same signal
 Parity check - a mathematically check sum algorithm
of a digital message that verifies correlation between
transmitted and received message
 An equivalent means that provides a certainty of
99.99 percent that the received message is identical
to the transmitted message
e. The maximum duration between the initiation of an
alarm signal at the protected premises, transmission of
the signal, and subsequent display and recording of
the alarm signal at the Central Station shall not exceed
90 seconds
f. A spare Central Station Receiver shall be provided at
the Central Station and shall be able to be switched
into the place of a failed unit within 30 seconds after
detection of failure
g. All applicable requirements of Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC) shall be complied with.
3. When used DACT for Central Station communication, two
means of communication are required. The primary
channel shall be telephone line. Cellular or internet com-
munication shall be limited for the secondary means of
communication and comply with 26.6.3 NFPA 72, 2010
edition. Another telephone line also may be used as sec-
ondary mean of communication.
4. The above-referenced equipment shall be used only with
listed fire alarm control panels and devices, with which
the compatibility has been determined by UL Listing Re-
port
5. Only enclosures painted red in color shall be used.
6. Underwriters Laboratories Inc.'s listing requirements and
limitations shall be complied with.
on site during any reprogramming of the radio or control
panel and must perform / re-perform acceptance testing.
To perform a download or update the radio firmware, jump-
er 1 must be removed. UL requires that the jumper be re-
placed after the download is complete. Failure to replace
the jumper would allow downloads to the radio without
a technician on-site.
For Residential installations jumper 1 may be removed to
permit uploading and downloading without a technician on
site, however, the dealer is responsible for ensuring the
system is operating correctly after any downloads or
changes to the system.

REN = 0. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) indicates the maximum number
of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the RENs of all the devices not exceed five (5).
To terminate more than two conductors or
conductors of different wire sizes to a terminal,
use the "pigtail" type wiring method as shown at
right. Use insulated wire for the pigtail, and firmly
secure the conductors to the pigtail using an ap-
propriate wire nut or crimp connector for the num-
ber and gauge of conductors used.

Alternate Telco Line to Alarm Panel Supervision
The following wiring and programming method allows an existing FACP to use its two telephone connections
(primary and secondary) for supervision and central station reporting through the StarLink SLE-LTEVI-FIRE radio.
By removing the JP2 shunt and enabling the feature "Tip/Ring Wiring Fault Report", when any radio trouble is
detected, the StarLink radio will remove voltage from the secondary telephone output, triggering the FACP to locally
annunciate the Telco trouble and report the trouble to the central station. Note: Some FACPs require J7 shunt to be
removed for Primary Phone line to restore correctly.

safety of the user's family or employees, and limits
its liability for any loss or damage including
incidental or consequential damages to NAPCO's
original selling price of the product regardless of the
cause of such loss or damage.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or differentiate in their treatment of
limitations of liability for ordinary or gross
negligence, so the above limitations or exclusions
may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
