NAPCO StarLink3 (SLe-GSM-3/4G) Universal Cellular Alarm Communicator — Brochure

Product brochure for the NAPCO StarLink3 (SLe-GSM-3/4G) Universal 3G/4G GSM Radio — a future-proof, field-upgradable cellular alarm communicator that works as a primary or backup GSM reporting path for any brand of alarm panel.

Overview

The StarLink SLe-GSM Series is a future-proof universal cellular communicator (3G/4G) offering full event alarm reporting over the GPRS radio network for both new and retrofit installations. It's not limited to NAPCO panels — it reports full-data alarms for any competitive brand control panel to any central station. Full high-speed Napco panel remote upload/download is also supported on Gemini P816/1632/1664 and P9600/3200/X255 series panels (requires the SLE-DLCBL cable).

Because cell networks evolve, StarLink radios are field-upgradable: as carriers progress from 3G/4G to future generations, a dealer can update to the prevailing network by simply replacing the plug-in radio module — no need to replace the entire radio.

Key Features

• Universal back-up or primary GSM communicator — jumper-selectable Primary mode (radio provides Tip/Ring line feed voltage and reports all alarms via GPRS) or Backup mode (radio detects when the premise's telco line is cut and only reports via GPRS in that case)
• Full event reporting in Contact ID and 4/2 format from any panel, anywhere — field-proven across the US
• Phone app for remote arm/disarm on any panel brand via keyswitch input, plus optional email/text alerts
• Cost-Saver Upgrade Program — upgrade to StarLink3 from competitive 2G radios (see napcosecurity.com/contact/StarLink4GUpgrade)
• Easiest 4-wire installation and activation — just enter a Radio ID; Dialer Capture eliminates entering phone numbers, formats, or account numbers
• Takeover Feature — easily captures any panel's existing central-station phone number and reroutes it without reprogramming the panel
• Includes AT&T SIM card and dual-band high-efficiency antenna
• Optional Smart Charger Module for premises with premium/limited AC power or optimized radio mounting locations up to 100 ft. from the panel
• Reports to any central station — no special equipment or activation fee needed
• Bonus: full high-speed Napco panel remote upload/download (requires separate cable)

Security & Ease of Installation

• Encrypted alarm and upload/download packets
• 3 status LED indicators (visible with wiring cover installed): Green — signal strength; Amber — radio busy/activation; Red — trouble
• Tamper protection
• Dual-band antenna for North America, 2dBi+ gain
• Radio can be placed up to 100 feet from the control panel for best antenna location (optional high-performance remote antenna available)
• Built-in power supply uses the alarm panel's Aux power as its source
• Optional Smart Charge Module for premises where auxiliary/fire standby power is too low, without requiring a separate power supply (uses a 4AH/12V battery)
