With StarLink Dual Path Fire Communicator models SLE-LTEVI-FIRE, SLE-LTEVI-CFB-PS and SLE-LTEVI-CFB, how do I set up Input Reporting?
The new StarLink Fire dual path communicator models include the following features:
- Four EOLR zone inputs for connection to FACP relay outputs, providing communication capability to older legacy control panels that may not include a DACT
- Two form "C" relay outputs, eliminating the need for additional listed supervision relays
- Modular style Telco jacks for connection to the FACP DACT
This Tech Tip describes how to connect and configure the (4) zone inputs and supervision relay.
Wire inputs 2-5 to the corresponding relays on the FACP using the supplied 10K EOLRs, as shown below. A short sends an alarm; an open sends a trouble. Wire OUT1 to a radio trouble zone/point on the FACP, placing the FACP EOLR across the communicator OUT1 relay N/O and C terminals. No NOC configuration is required, OUT1 functions as a communicator supervisory output by default.
After the communicator is registered, log into the StarLink Radio Management Center (also known as the NAPCO "NOC") at www.NapcoNOC2.com.
General Tab
- Click the Edit button, then click the radio button located to the right of DEALER ENTERED PROGRAMMING to enable.
- Program the Central Station Primary and Backup telephone and account numbers or IP receiver information.
- Click the "Copy to Clipboard" icon to enable the inputs to report to the central station.
- Set the Poll Fail Timeout duration to match the selected plan (200 Seconds, 5 Minutes, 60 Minutes, 6 Hours (dual path) or 24 Hours).
Inputs and Outputs Tab
Program inputs 2 through 5 to Supervision/Fire Alarm.
Default Input Programming:
- IN2 - FACP Trouble (CID code 373)
- IN3 - Fire Alarm (CID code 110)
- IN4 - Supervisory (CID code 200)
- IN5 - Water Flow (CID code 113)
Note: This Tech Tip example used the Contact ID reporting defaults indicated above. Reporting codes can be changed in the NOC as needed for other fire reporting applications (e.g. Low pressure, Fire Pump Run/Fail, Carbon Monoxide, etc.). After all changes have been made, click Save.
