INSTALLATION
Mounting the Cabinet
It is important to mount the LINKS1000 as close to the DSC / Sur-gard alarm control panel as possible
.
3 feet is the recommended maximum distance between the two devices. If the devices are mounted in an
under-over arrangement, always mount the LINKS1000 on top. It is recommended that all wiring between the
control panel and the LINKS1000 be in a tamper and attack-resistant conduit.
Keep in mind the LINKS1000 antenna must be mounted above ground level. If necessary, Antenna
Extension Kits are available from your distributor. Remember cellular likes height. The antenna should be
installed in a physically secured location to avoid tampering.
As much as reasonably possible the LINKS1000 should not be located near sources of interference. These
sources include EMI generated by televisions or heavy electric motors such as those found in heating or air
conditioning units.
Remove printed circuit board and wall mounting hardware from cardboard retainer inside cabinet. Before
attaching the cabinet to the wall, press the white nylon mounting studs through the holes in the back of the cabinet.
Mounting the Antenna
NOTE: An antenna should always be connected to the LINKS1000 whenever it is operated. The unit will
not function properly if an antenna is not installed.
Before attaching the antenna, first secure the TNC connector and cable attached to the LINKS unit in the hole
in the top of the cabinet using the hardware provided. Ensure the star washers make solid electrical contact
with the metal cabinet; refer to the illustrations below.
The antenna should be mounted as high above ground level as possible while at the same time taking care
not to place the antenna under a Radio Frequency shield of any kind. I.E. do not mount the antenna directly
beneath a metal roofing over hang. Cellular works best when in an unobstructed “line of sight” to the cellular
antenna site.
Wiring Connections
Do not connect the transformer or battery until all other wiring, including the antenna connection, has been
completed and checked. Incorrect wiring connections may cause the LINKS1000 unit to operate improperly.
“AC” Power Terminals
For proper operation, the LINKS1000 requires its own transformer.
Do not use the control panel transformer
to power the LINKS1000.
Do not connect the transformer or battery until all other wiring is complete. Use a
16.5 VAC transformer with a minimum 40 VA rating to supply AC power to the LINKS1000. Do not connect the
transformer to an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
