What is the minimum required NOC programming (www.NapcoNOC.com) and system wiring when connecting a StarLink Fire Radio to the DACT of an FACP, utilizing dial capture mode reporting?
The following summarizes the minimum required NOC programming (www.NapcoNOC.com) and system wiring when connecting a StarLink Fire Radio to the DACT of an FACP, utilizing dial capture mode reporting. Check the installation and programming instructions for additional wiring and programming options. Be sure all items in the following checklist are performed:
1. Central Station Receiver Telephone numbers are programmed in the "Dealer Entered Programming" section (see following image):
2. UL Poll Fail Timeout is set (200 seconds NFPA 2007 service plan; 5 minutes for NFPA 2010 plan; 60 minutes for NFPA 2013 plan or 24hr backup only):
When using IP reporting, the Sur-Gard receiver must be configured for the same UL polling fail time (200 seconds, 5 minutes, 60 minutes or 24 hour backup only) as configured in the NOC. Pings are then passed directly from the radio through the NOC to the receiver; if a ping is missed within the programmed UL Poll Fail Timeout duration, the receiver will generate the polling fail reporting code and it will be forward to the automation software.
3. *The central station receiver telephone number ("Telco # for reporting tamper/linecut/parallel inputs") and account number ("Subscriber Account Number") are programmed in the Advanced tab:
Note: The backup central station receiver telephone number and account number must be manually entered. The inputs will report via IP if a telephone number is programmed. If you do not have a backup telephone number, change the 9999999999 digits to 8888888888.
4.* Input 2 (IN2) is programmed for Supervised Fire Trouble (line cut) and a normally closed relay on the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) programmed for Telco Fault (also programmed for other trouble conditions as required by the local AHJ), with the relay connected to Input 2 using the red and blue leads off the special 9SLE10KHARN harness. Upon loss of power or trouble, this FACP N/C relay must change state from closed to open (see wiring diagram below). If necessary, IN3 may be used for additional trouble conditions.
5. (PGM1) is wired to a trouble zone in the FACP. Wire the control panel Listed EOLR in series (terminal 3 PGM Output #1 and ground terminal #8) to a zone or point programmed to monitor radio troubles.
6. *The special wiring harness (9SLE10KHARN) is installed in the FACP and wired according to its included installation instructions (WI2147):
Notes:
1. For NAPCO control panel downloading or remote upgrading of radio firmware, radio jumper X5_J1 must be removed.
2. Upon activation of the fire trouble relay (open between blue and red harness wires), a fire trouble signal will be transmitted to the central station.
3. For StarLink models SLECDMA-CFB-PS and SLE3/4G-CFB-PS, connect to charger board terminal labeled N/O.
4. If using external relay for radio supervision, relay must be rated for radio input voltage, (12VDC, max current draw=50mA OR 24VDC, max current draw=25mA). A listed low current relay, such as Space Age Electronics model SSU-MR-311/C/R is recommended.
*Not required if radio / panel wiring is in conduit (20 feet max for Commercial Fire and 3 feet max for Residential Fire)
