1. Introduction
Uplink’s MODEL 4555 Fire Panel with Built-In Wireless Alarm Communicator is an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed alarm and critical event primary communicator designed to interface with
any event monitoring interface having switch closure characteristics. The 4555 features two
independent transmission paths from the unit to the Central Station, TELCO and GSM Cellular
Network. The cellular radio provides primary signaling, or secondary communications to the
TELCO interface. In backup, if TELCO connection is compromised, or if no TELCO connection is
present, the 4555 will automatically send any alarm information via its GSM connection, through
the Uplink gateway and to the Central Station. In either case the alarm communicator transmits the
alarm information to the central station receiver in either Contact ID (SIA-DC05) or SIA (SIA-DC03)
format.
In addition, the 4555 uses GSM technology to receive programming and setup information.
The unit has 4 supervised inputs and 3 outputs and can be programmed to automatically send a
test message at periodic intervals.

2. Key Features
A. Discrete Event Reporting. All information sent by the alarm communicator in Contact ID or
SIA formats (account number, zone information, user IDs, etc.) will be sent to the central station
using the telephone line or the GSM network.
B. Telephone Line Supervision. Features a built-in telephone line monitoring circuit designed to
detect voltage (in the On-Hook state) or voltage and current (in the O-Hook state). If insucient
voltage or current is detected, the unit will substitute the GSM cellular network for the Public
Switched Telephone Network as the communications path for sending event information. A TELCO
loss alarm will be generated and the on-board buzzer will annunciate, thereby providing local
indication of TELCO loss.
C. Input Signal Supervision. Each of the 4 inputs has the ability to supervise the connection to the
input source. EOL resistors assure that there is no undetected break in the input signal wiring.
D. Zone Inputs. There are many types of events that can be reported or mapped to a local
notication appliance covering input alarms, ground faults, input troubles, AC power loss, Battery
power loss, Telco troubles and GSM Network troubles. Each of these events is assigned a specic
zone number by default and can be re-programmed Over-the-Air via the Support Web site.
E. Outputs. There are three programmable outputs. Output 1 is a Supervisory NAC - 24VDC
output capable of driving up to 400mA. Output 2 is a form B relay that is normally open when
energized and is congurable. Output 3 is a resettable smoke power output and, for UL
compliance, may only be used as such. It is a 24VDC output capable of driving up to 160mA.
Outputs 1 and 2 can be programmed Over-the-Air and in addition, can be activated on the
occurrence of one or more of the following trouble or alarm conditions:
• Cellular Network Loss
• No Central Station Acknowledgment
• AC Loss
• Low or Missing Battery
• Telco Line Loss
• Loss of supervision of Input(s)
• Loss of supervision of Outputs(s)
• Activation of Input(s)
• Unit Disabled by Dealer Command
• Watchdog Circuit Activation
• Catastrophic Failure Condition
• Ground Fault Detection

F. Power Source Monitoring (AC & Low Battery Reporting). Reports low battery conditions to
the central station when voltage drops below 20.4 VDC. Reports Low Battery Restoral. Reports No
Battery if the voltage is below 1 VDC. It can also be programmed to report Loss of AC power to the
central station. This occurs at 89.9 VAC and restores at 93.4 VAC.
G. Local Annunciation. All TROUBLES, ALARMS, and FIRE ALARMS are annunciated by an on-
board buzzer, as well as visually indicated via an LED block, viewable from outside the enclosure.
Alarms can be silenced with a single push of the silence/reset switch, and can be cleared with a
double push of the silence/reset switch.
H. Automated Testing. Sends an automated test signal to the central station on a monthly,
weekly or daily interval as programmed. Must be programmed for daily to be UL compliant.
I. GSM Network Supervision. Supervises the local GSM network. If the unit no longer locates
the local GSM network, one of its output relays activates to report this trouble condition locally. The
unit then automatically takes steps to restore the network connection.
J. Status/Received Signal Strength LEDs. The ve LEDs indicate the current operational
status and are visible from outside the enclosure. These LEDs can be placed into Received Signal
Strength Indication mode (RSSI) to assist in selecting the optimal mounting location for transmitting
and receiving cellular radio signals.
K. UL Compliant metal enclosure. The unit is housed in an industry accepted Red metal
enclosure, complete with local audible and visual annunciators. A single push button switch can be
used to silence or reset the alarms/trouble annunciators.
L. Easy Service Initiation. Ships with an active SIM card, with easy activations available via the
Web at www.uplink.com or by calling Uplink Customer Service at 1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-
5465). Requires the central station receiver phone number and/or its IP address and Port number.
M. Web-based Services. Available at www.uplink.com and include:
a. immediate, real-time activation
b. history of past event transmissions
c. initiation of a test report
d. the ability to query the unit and receive a real-time radio report status including a Received
Signal Strength reading
e. programming inputs and other internally generated events

conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
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 instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
ACTA. On the inside of the cover of the 4555 is a label that contains the product identier, US:
3F0MO00BANYNETFDM. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
The 4555 employs one USOC RJ31X jack.
The RJ31X plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the
ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to
be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may
be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on atelephone line may result in the devices
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should
