DESCRIPTION
The Uplink CDMAEZ is an “always on,” multi-purpose, FCC-certied device capable of
sending and receiving alarm signals or other data over the CDMA Cellular Network.
When connected to an alarm system, the CDMAEZ 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.
The CDMAEZ can be connected to an alarm system using up to four inputs on
the CDMAEZ. Each of these inputs can be set up to send a selected signal to the
monitoring station. Contact ID, SIA, Modem IIe/IIIa2and 4/2 (:20 PPS) formats
are supported.
The CDMAEZ also has two congurable relay outputs to send signals to alarm panels
or control other devices.

INSTALLATION STEPS
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.
Step 1. Activate the system. The Uplink CDMAEZ 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 Installer App, or call
1-888-987-5465. Consult the Quick Installation Guide included with the CDMAEZ.
Step 2. Install the antenna on the top of the unit.
Step 3. Position the unit for maximum signal strength. Connect the unit to a 12V
DC, 500mA power supply. Be sure the area is dry and free from interference of metal
objects and obstructions.
Step 4. Determine network availability and signal strength.
a) Signals strength should be -100dB minimum. Relocated the unit or install a high-
gain antenna if necessary.

Step 5. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before wiring. The standard
conguration for the Uplink CDMAEZ is to leave DIP switches S3 and S4 set to
“OFF” (Input 1 triggered by 9V DC to 12V DC or an open collector). For detailed
wiring instructions and alternative congurations, see pages 8-9.
CAUTION: Do not connect the unit to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
CAUTION: Improper connections at the power connector may result in damage
to the unit.
Step 6. Congure the unit. Set the DIP switches on the front panel of the unit
according to the following table:

INSTALLATION STEPS (cont.)
Step 7. When you have nished wiring and conguring 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.
Always cycle the unit’s power after making changes to the DIP switch settings.

UNIT WIRING
Input 1 (Selectable Via DIP Switches)
A. Standard Input - (DIP switches S3 OFF, S4 OFF) This mode congures the
unit to be tripped from a DC voltage ranging from 9 V DC to 12 V DC or an open
collector.
B. Timed Bell - (DIP switches S3 ON, S4 OFF) This mode congures the unit to be
tripped from a DC voltage ranging from 9 V DC to 12 V DC. The unit reads a
pulsed voltage as a re signal and a steady voltage as a burglary signal. It may
be necessary to place a 1K Ohm resistor in parallel to prevent false alarms when
using panels with supervisory voltage on the bell circuit. Some panels with
supervised bell circuits may require a 1K Ohm resistor in the circuit. Contact
Technical Support for further details.
C. Sampled Siren* - (DIP switches S3 ON, S4 ON) This mode congures the unit
to be tripped from a siren driver or a panel with a built in siren driver. The unit
reads a steady tone as a re signal and a yelping tone as a burglary signal.
*NOTE: The input assumes that a speaker is connected to the panel. If you are
not using a speaker we recommend using a Timed Bell instead of Sample Siren.
This is an option on most panels.
Input 4 (DIP switch S8 ON) A trigger of INPUT 4 from high-to-low and back-to-
high causes the CDMAEZ to reset. The high-to-low-to-high must be held for
at-least 100 msec.

UNIT WIRING (cont.)
*Inputs 2, 3, and 4 (and Input 1 if Standard Type)
Voltage Trip - Inputs 2, 3, and 4 (and 1 if set for standard input) can be tripped by
applying 12 V to the + input and 0 V to the - input. A signal must be continuously
present for 500 ms.
Open Collector - Inputs 2, 3 and 4 (and 1 if set for standard input) can be tripped
by applying 12 V to the + input and the Open Collector output of the panel to
the - input. A signal must be continuously present for 500 ms.
Outputs - Outputs can be used to signal communication trouble to the alarm
panel or can be used to control other devices at the installation site. Outputs 1
and 2 are dry contact relays rated for a maximum of 100 mA at 24 V DC, and are
in the normally closed condition (selectable to NO).

Power Supply - The customer-supplied 12 V DC power supply/battery charger
should be capbable of supplying 500 mA peak for brief high current demands of
the radio during transmission.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this unit complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website
at www.fcc.gov. THE TERM “IC:” BEFORE THE CERTIFICATION/REGISTRATION
NUMBER ONLY SIGNIFIES THAT THE INDUSTRY CANADA TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS WERE MET.
THE EXTERNAL ANTENNAS USED FOR THIS UNIT MUST PROVIDE A
SEPARATION DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 20 CM FROM ALL PERSONS AND
MUST NOT BE CO-LOCATED OR OPERATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY
OTHER ANTENNA OR TRANSMITTER.
