DSC LINKS2450 v1 0 - Installation Manaul - English - Long Range Radio Communicator

INTRODUCTION 1 LINKS2450 transmits alarm system information over a long range radio It may be used with the following DSC alarm control panels PC1575 v1.0 PC1555 v2 x and up PC5015 v2.2 PC5010 v1.0 and up PC4010 4020 v3 x PC580 v2 x manual will describe how to install and program the LINKS2450 for connection the above panels Specifications If the panel uses automatic SIA or Contact ID communications formats the codes the LINKS2450 will send must still be programmed on the panel Power supply 11.5 14VDC at 750mA PS1520 PC5204 PC4204 or powered Bell Aux control panel terminals Radio transmitter frequency range from 440 to 470MHz Communication Buffer 80 Events Transmission Range Approximately 16 Kilometers 10 Miles Cabinet dimensions 4.17 high 5.75 wide 1 deep 104mm 146mm color white Module supervision via the alarm control panel Protected against static and lightning induced transients Programming by keypad or downloading software The LINKS2450 is complete a default program and is operational with a minimum of programming To program via a keypad when connected to PC5015 PC5010 PC1575 or PC580 panels program the LINKS2450 using any system keypad To program via a keypad when connected to PC4010 4020 v3.0 panels the LINKS2450 using a PC2550RK keypad connected directly to the EEPROM Memory LINKS2450 uses EEPROM memory which will retain all program even if AC and battery power are removed Antenna You must match the antennas to the frequency you will be using antenna for the LINKS2450 is not supplied For optimum performance of the use a quality antenna system such as model SLA 532 available from Link Corporation This 5 8 over 5 8 wave high performance antenna offers specifically designed for security radio installations 5db gain two piece mast with center coil Standard frequency range 440 470MHz Ten feet of coax with BNC connector attached ensure proper operation mount the antenna at least ten feet from the LINKS 2450 See diagram below THE LINKS2450 2 installing the LINKS2450 install and test the security system to which it will connected according to the system Installation Manual Unpacking the LINKS2450 that each of these parts is included in your LINKS2450 package Due to the sensitivity of the RF circuitry avoid any contact with the coils potentiometers on the LINKS2450 circuit board circuit board plastic cabinet Select a Mounting Location area where you mount the LINKS2450 should be dry close to the installed alarm control panel cabinet far from sources of interference including electrical noise such as televisions and electric motors in appliances and heating and air units large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which shield the antenna If you must mount the LINKS2450 near such items may have to mount the antenna on a remote bracket away from the close to the power supply See section 2.3 a Power Supply Connect a Power Supply can use the Bell and Aux terminals from the control panel to power the If you will be using a separate power supply install it near the Refer to the power supply installation instructions for more information The current drawn by the LINKS2450 and the siren s connected to the Bell must not exceed that specified by the rating of the control panel Refer to control panel Intallation Manual for more information wiring between the LINKS2450 and the power supply should not be longer than in the table below Gauge AWG Wire Length feet meters 4.5m 7.5m 12.0m can double the maximum wire length if you double the conductors and connect in parallel Mount the LINKS2450 as close to the power supply as possible READ CAREFULLY READ CAREFULLY READ CAREFULLY 2 1 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY READ CAREFULLY the LINKS 2450 to PC5010 PC5015 PC1555 PC580 Panels PC4010 4020 v3.0 Panels wire the LINK 2450 remove the knockout located on the lower left hand side the plastic The incoming wiring should be installed in front of the board as above Do not place the incoming wires behind the LINKS 2450 board Mount and Wire the LINKS2450 Run the panel wiring and the power supply wiring to the LINKS2450 Remove the four screws that attach the LINKS 2450 circuit board to the location cabinet Remove the knockout on the lower left hand side of the plastic Mount the cabinet securely to the wall Use the appropriate wall anchors securing the panel to drywall plaster concrete brick or similar Reattach the LINKS2450 into the mounted cabinet using the four mounting See diagram 2.1 Pull all wires through the knockout hole and place in front of the LINKS 2450 Find the antenna connection in the hole at the top of the plastic cabinet the antenna to the LINKS2450 antenna connector Make sure an antenna is always connected to the LINKS2450 whenever it operated The unit will not work and may be damaged if an antenna is not in Complete all wiring If you will be connecting the LINKS2450 to a PC5015 PC1575 PC1555 or PC580 panel go to step 8a If you will be the LINKS2450 to a PC4010 or PC4020 panel go to step 8b Connect the LINKS2450 according to diagram 2 2 Make sure jumper on the LINKS2450 is NOT shorted Connect the LINKS2450 to a PC2550RK keypad according to diagram Make sure jumper J3 on the LINKS2450 IS SHORTED When you finished programming disconnect the power supply and the keypad from the LINKS2450 Remove the short from jumper Connect the LINKS2450 to the control panel according to diagram Double check all wiring to ensure that it is correct Incorrect wiring may cause the LINKS2450 to operate improperly or may damage unit Connect the power Connect the power terminals VTX and VTX to a 11.5 1A power supply Do not connect the power supply until all other wiring including the connection has been completed and checked to ensure that it is 2 1 For PC5010 PC5015 PC1555 PC1575 or Panels Programming section 01 option 2 must be OFF for LINKS2450 to work these panels Due to the sensitivity of the RF circuitry avoid any contact with the coils potentiometers on the LINKS2450 circuit board power supply supervision is required for the LINKS2450 VTX terminals use the If no supervision is needed you can use the PS1520 or the control panel terminals 2 2 for PC4010 4020 v3.0 Panels Programming section 01 option 2 must be ON for LINKS2450 to work with panels Due to the sensitivity of the RF circuitry avoid any contact with the coils potentiometers on the
