NAPCO StarLink Fire:  Getting Started Guide 

The following summarizes the minimum required NOC programming (

) and system wiring for repor

Ɵ

ng alarm and trouble events trig-

gered by the relays of a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).  Check the installa

, and the desired 

event number and zone numbers are pro-
grammed for Fire Alarm and Fire Trouble (also 
programmed for other trouble condi

Ɵ

ons as 

required by the local AHJ).  Upon loss of power 
or trouble, the FACP N/C relay must change 
state from closed to open; see wiring diagram below.  If necessary, 

IN3

 may be used for addi

a zone or point programmed to monitor radio trouble.   

Notes:

1.  For NAPCO control panel downloading or 

remote

of

radio

fi

rmware

, radio jumper 

X5_J1

 must be removed.   

2. 

Note:

  Upon ac

on of the 

fi

re alarm relay (short on black and red harness wires), an alarm signal will be transmi

Ʃ

ed to the central sta

Upon ac

Ɵ

va

Ɵ

on of the 

fi

re trouble relay (open between blue and red harness wires), a 

fi

re trouble signal will be transmi

Ʃ

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.
