IMPORTANT: The green Signal Strength LED will pro-
vide a valid reading only when the red Diagnostic LED is
NOT lit (blinking or solid) and the yellow Status LED is not
on solid.
Red Diagnostic LED: Labeled " D7" on the PCB, this LED
will light and flash when the unit is powered (see OPERA-
TION, above). One blink indicates a weak or non-existent
signal from the network (green RF Signal Strength LED is
off).
Green Power LED: When lit, the unit is powered on.
Note: To maximize battery life, press the "O" on the side
switch to power off when not in use.
Yellow Status LED: When the unit is first powered, this
LED will turn on solid for a few seconds, flash, remain on sol-
id again and then turn off. After a connection to the cell tower
is made and the unit is in a normal standby condition, it will
then blink momentarily every 10 seconds.
Red Trouble LED: This LED will blink 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 cellular
registration)
5 Blinks: Network trouble (signal unable to reach the
SLE Control Center)
6 Blinks: Unit disabled (reporting or control panel

OPERATION
1. Power on (press "" on the rocker switch).
2. Wait 1-2 minutes for unit to enter "Standby Mode" with
LEDs indicating:
Top Red LED flashes, then turns off
Right Green LED flashes
Yellow LED momentary flashes
3. Place unit in potential installation location.
4. Wait 2 minutes.
5. Count the right Green LED flashes (acceptable power
level is greater than or equal to 2 blinks).
If moving location, go to step 4.
If the top Red LED blinks or turns on solid, you MUST
go to step 2. If step 2 LED flashes do not occur, signal
is likely too weak (try a different location).
Power off when not in use and when charging. After
powering off, wait at least 30 seconds before power-
ing on.
LED DESCRIPTIONS
There are five (5) LEDs on the front of the unit:
Green RF Signal Strength LED: Every 30 seconds, the
StarLink communicator receiver turns on and listens to the
cell tower. Depending on the signal strength detected, this
LED will blink from 1 to 5 times at a constant rate (with a
short delay between blink cycles) to provide a signal strength
indicator that is updated constantly and is always displayed.
Acceptable power level is greater than or equal to 2
blinks.

Do you have a question about the NAPCO StarLink SLE-LTEV-SS and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document describes the StarLink™ Communicator Signal Strength Tester, a device designed to assist in the installation and maintenance of StarLink™ cellular communicators. It provides installers with a tool to quickly assess cellular signal strength and troubleshoot common issues.

Function Description

The StarLink™ Signal Strength Tester allows users to perform a site survey and test the premises to find the optimal installation location for their StarLink™ cellular capture communicators. It supports four different models of communicators: SLE-LTEV-SS (LTE Verizon cellular network), SLE-LTEV-SS and SLE-LTEV-SS-CF (LTE AT&T cellular network). The device provides visual feedback on signal strength, battery life, and various troubleshooting indicators.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Battery Pack: Standard USB 5V 10000mAh. Note: Unit must be off when charging battery.
  • Battery Life Indicator: Four (4) small blue LEDs display the real-time percentage of remaining battery power (recharge when one LED is lit).
  • Typical Battery Life: About 23 hours of continuous use after a full charge.
  • Battery Charger: 5V/2A wall plug adapter.
  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 8 x 5-⁷/₆₄" x 1½" (20.3 x 13.9 x 3.8cm).
  • Operating Temperature: 0° - 49°C (32° - 120°F).
  • Humidity: Maximum 93% Non-Condensing.
  • Indoor / dry location use only.

Usage Features

The device features a Power Button, Micro USB Charging Socket, Flashlight, and a USB Socket (DO NOT USE). The main display provides visual indicators for Signal Strength, Battery Life, and various troubleshooting conditions.

Operation

  1. Power On: Press the power button to turn on the rocker switch.
  2. Wait: Wait 2 minutes for the unit to enter "Standby Mode" with LEDs indicating:
    • Top Red LED flashes, then turns off.
    • Right Green LED flashes.
    • Yellow LED momentarily flashes.
  3. Place Unit: Position the unit in the potential installation location.
  4. Wait: Wait 2 minutes.
  5. Count: Count the light Green LED flashes (acceptable power level is greater than or equal to 2 blinks).
    • If moving location, go to step 3.
    • If the Red Step 2 LED blinks or turns on solid, you MUST go to step 2. If Red Step 2 LED flashes do not occur, signal is likely too weak (try a different location).
  6. Power Off: When not in use, turn off when charging. After powering off, wait at least 30 seconds before powering on again.

LED Descriptions

There are five (5) LEDs on the front of the unit:

  • Green RF Signal Strength LED: Every 30 seconds, the StarLink™ Communicator receiver turns on and listens to the cell tower. Depending on the signal strength detected, this LED will blink from 1 to 5 times at a constant rate (with a short delay between blink pulses) to provide a signal strength indicator that is updated constantly and is always displayed.
    • Acceptable power level is greater than or equal to 2 blinks.
    • IMPORTANT: The green Signal Strength LED will provide a valid reading only when the red Diagnostic LED is NOT lit (blinking or solid) and the yellow Status LED is not on solid.
  • Red Diagnostic LED: Labeled "DT" on the PCB, this LED will light and flash when the unit is powered (see OPERATION above). One blink indicates a weak or non-existent signal from the network (green RF Signal Strength LED is off).
  • Green Power LED: When lit, the unit is powered on. Note: To maximize battery life, press the "O" on the side switch to turn off when not in use.
  • Yellow Status LED: When the unit is first powered, this LED will turn on solid for a few seconds, flash, remain on solid again and then turn off. After a connection to the cell tower is made and the unit is in a normal standby condition, it will then blink momentarily every 10 seconds.
  • Red Trouble LED: This LED will blink 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 cellular 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 shut down and has no functionality; requires a restart (full power down and full power up sequence) to restore operation
    • 8 Blinks: Telco Line Cut (this is not the DACT inter-connect to the communicator)

Rear Power Pack

The power pack has a button, two sockets, and LEDs:

  • Power Button: The power switch for the power pack. The Power Button does not need to be used, and can remain untouched. If this button is pressed by mistake, the unit will turn on but will automatically turn off after about 10-15 seconds. If this button is pressed twice quickly, the LED ("Flashlight") will turn on indefinitely. To turn off, press the button again twice quickly.
  • Micro USB Charging Socket: When the battery pack is low, power off the unit (press the "O" on the side rocker switch) and insert the 5V/2A charger plug. Type-C charging time is 5-8 hours if the battery is fully depleted and will automatically stop charging when full. Unit MUST BE OFF to properly charge battery.
  • Flashlight: A large LED. See the description of the power pack Power Button, above.
  • USB Socket: Do not use.
  • Battery Life Indicator: See Specifications above.
