a short delay between blink cycles). Acceptable
power level is greater than or equal to -91dBm
(minimum 4 blinks at the mounting location).
YELLOW OPERATIONAL STATUS LED
Labeled "D4", this LED is located at the bottom right
of the PC board. Operation is as follows:
Normal Standby Condition:
•
Blinks on momentarily every 10 seconds:
Unit is
in standby waiting for an alarm to report.
Processing Alarm Conditions:
•
When processing an alarm, this LED will blink varia-
bly during each part of the process (dialing, hand-
shaking, data transmission, etc).
RED TROUBLE LED
Labeled "D5", this LED is located at the bottom right
of the PC board. Operation is as follows:
•
1 Blink:
Low Aux Power input voltage
•
2 Blinks:
Battery trouble
•
3 Blinks:
Alarm report Failed to Communicate
•
4 Blinks:
RF trouble (antenna connection or cellu-
lar registration)
•
5 Blinks:
Network trouble (signal unable to reach
the SLe Control Center)
•
6 Blinks:
Unit disabled (reporting or control panel
downloading not allowed)
•
7 Blinks:
Unit was shutdown and has no function-
ality; requires a restart (full power down and full
power up sequence) to restore operation
•
8 Blinks:
Telco Line Cut
RED DIAGNOSTIC LED
Labeled "D7", this LED is located in the middle of the
PC board. One blink indicates a weak or non-existent
signal from the network (green LED is off). If this red
LED is blinking in any other manner, please contact
technical support.
SUPPLYING POWER
Control panels can provide power through their Auxiliary
Power terminals if the available standby current is re-
duced by 65mA. When there is insufficient standby cur-
rent due to the application (such as when 24-hour
standby time is required for Residential Fire), the SLe-
SMTCHG Smart Charge Module accessory must be
used to charge an additional battery and to supply the
standby current for the SLe-GSM.
JUMPER DESCRIPTIONS
Jumper block labeled "
X5
"; from top to bottom, as de-
tailed in the following table:
PRIMARY AND BACK-UP REPORTING
The SLe-GSM can function as a primary wireless com-
municator, in cases where there are no telephone lines
present, when connected directly to the control panel
Telco terminals. For primary reporting, do NOT install
jumper 3 in terminal block "
X5
". The SLe-GSM can
also function as a backup to the existing telephone
lines (install jumper 3 in terminal block "
X5
"). When
used as a backup communicator and when it senses
telephone line trouble, the SLe-GSM automatically
switches the communication channel from the tele-
phone line to the GPRS network. See the following
table for the maximum number of retry attempts.
NETWORK COVERAGE
The SLe-GSM radio constantly supervises the GPRS
network coverage. When the SLe-GSM is configured
for primary reporting, and the SLe-GSM detects a loss
in network coverage, the SLe-GSM can be configured
to prompt the control panel to announce a Telco Line
Cut failure trouble using the Management Center
screen (located at
www.napconoc.com
).
Note:
This
Telco Line Cut failure trouble will NOT activate when
the SLe-GSM is configured for backup reporting.
By default
, the SLe-GSM is NOT configured to cause
a Telco Line Cut failure trouble, and will NOT annunci-
ate at the system keypad(s).
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1: ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
Create a new account and register specific SLe-GSM
modules at
www.NapcoComNet.com
. Accounts and
modules registered via the Internet are enabled for acti-
vation within 24 hours.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
The mounting location should be selected based on RF
