INTRODUCTION
The SLE-LTEVI-FIRE Dual-Path Alarm Communicator is
specifically designed to interface with FACP (Fire Alarm
Control Panels) and to comply with UL 864. The SLE-
LTEVI-FIRE is equipped with two dry relays, one for a
trouble output and one for an auxiliary output. The unit is
also equipped with four supervised inputs to report a Fire
Alarm, a Fire Trouble, a Water Flow Alarm and a Supervi-
sory Alarm, each triggered from the N/O and Common ter-
minals of the associated FACP output relays.
When connected to a FACP with one or two standard RJ-
45 telephone inputs, the SLE-LTEVI-FIRE provides two
RJ-45 outputs to satisfy both telephone inputs. The prima-
ry 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 secondary telephone
line is supervised by the FACP; when a line fault is detect-
ed, a trouble is reported to the central station through the
primary telephone line.
When connected to a FACP without digital dialing capabil-
ity, the StarLink™SLE-LTEVI-FIRE Dual-Path Commercial
Fire alarm capture radio communicator is a fully super-
vised, wireless digital two-way subscriber unit supported by
an extensive nationwide wireless network. The SLE-
LTEVI-FIRE is compatible with most 12 or 24VDC alarm
control panels (always adhere to the documentation provid-
ed by the control panel manufacturer). Mount the unit to a
single-, dual-, or three-gang electrical box and route the
wires through the back knockout(s), or as specified by local
codes. See WI2140 for programming information.
The SLE-LTEVI-FIRE communicator uses 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 for-
warded to ANY central station via Contact ID or 4/2 via
DACT from the NOC or Sur-Gard System II, Sur-Gard Sys-
tem V, Bosch D6100IPV6 or Bosch D6600 Receiver (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 receive the
expected supervision signal from the wireless communica-
tor. In addition, the SLE-LTEVI-FIRE is powered directly
from the control panel.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS
Configure all inputs and outputs using the Management
Center screen (located at www.NapcoNOC.com). Located
at the bottom of the StarLink radio PC board, the terminals
are described as follows:
TB1: PWR (+10 - 25VDC)
(Refer to section "STEP 4: APPLY POWER")
TB2: PWR GND (–)
(Refer to section "STEP 4: APPLY POWER")
TB3: PGM3 (–): Open collector output. PGM3 is nor-
mally on (active low). When it is triggered (for exam-
ple, a trouble is detected) it becomes open collector/
high. To have a zone dedicated to an StarLink radio
trouble, insert one side of the end of line resistor into
this PGM3 terminal, and wire the other side of the
resistor 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
report to a central station, the StarLink radio must
be configured with the central station telephone
number 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.
Note: Inputs IN 2, IN 3, IN 4 and IN 5 can be su-
pervised end-of-line resistor inputs that can be trig-
gered with N/O or N/C relay contacts. Wire the
common ground terminal GND (terminal TB13) to
the relay common. For these inputs to report to a
central station, the radio must be configured with the
central station telephone number and correct report-
ing formats and codes.
TB6: IN 2 (–): See TB5, above.
TB7: IN 3 (+): Fire Alarm input**. Wire to FACP Fire
Alarm relay N/O with parallel 10K EOLR at FACP.

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.

STEP 5: SIGNAL VERIFICATION
After triggering channels, use the StarLink radio Signal
Verification 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 GSM Network online, go
to www.NapcoNOC.com, log in with your Username and
Password, enter your Company ID number and the
StarLink GSM 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-
rect the interference by one of more of the following
measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver; 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected; 4.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
NAPCO GEMINI C-SERIES (GEMC)
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.
 A fair amount of care may be required to mount the ra-
dio so as to achieve an optimal RF path. The installer
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 radio
from a fully charged 12V (4AH minimum) battery.
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" la-
beled "D3" (located at the lower right corner of the
PC board). The GSM 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. See the section CONTROL PANEL PROGRAM-
MING further in this manual.
The wiring between the control panel and the StarLink ra-
dio 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 socket.
 (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
STEP 4: APPLY POWER
 Attach antennas before applying power !
 Apply 12/24VDC to terminals 1 and 2.

StarLink™SLE-LTEVI-FIRE Commercial Series Dual-Path Alarm Communicator -- Installation Instructions 7
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 "GSM
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. The control
panel must trigger an output to activate the StarLink radio to
report this line cut fault to the central station. 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 the Line
Cut feature on all troubles (therefore a dedicated zone is
not required). Note: Some control panels may require a
different duration than the default time of 3 minutes. See
also the alternate supervision method described on page
12, "Alternate Telco Line to Alarm Panel Supervision
(For Primary Mode Only)".
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.
Configuration Download / Firmware Updates
Technician on site required.
For Commercial Installations a technician is required to be
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.
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
page 5. Note: These event codes and zone numbers can
be changed from the Management Center screen (located at
www.NapcoNOC.com).
Upon alarm, the NOC can optionally send an SMS message
to a third party that includes the appropriate Contact ID
alarm code, including the zone or user number, if applicable.
The "STARLINK RADIO RELATED EVENT REPORT
CODES" table also includes the most common Contact ID
alarm codes.
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

Alternate Telco Line to Alarm Panel Supervision (For Primary Mode Only)
A 10K ohm resistor (5% tolerance) can be placed across the "house side" of the telephone line circuit (see
wiring diagrams). Use this resistor instead of using a relay on the alarm control panel to trip an input on the
radio to supervise the connection between the alarm control panel telco circuit and the radio. Note: In
installations where two telco lines are used, a 22K ohm resistor (5% tolerance) is required for each telco line
(see wiring diagrams).
REMEMBER: Enable the feature " Tip / Ring Wiring Fault Report" in the NOC (www.NapcoComNet.com)
to supervise the telephone line connection to the control panel.
REMINDER: Never use this option when the alarm control panel is connected to telephone service!

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.
