Section 1

The LINKS2450 transmits alarm system information over a long-range radio

network. It may be used with the following DSC alarm control panels:

• PC1580 v1.0 • PC5010 v1.0 and up • PC4010/4020 v3.x

• PC1565 v2.x and up • PC5015 v2.2 • PC5008 v2.x and up

• PC585 v2.x and up

This manual will describe how to install and program the LINKS2450 for connection

to the above panels.

1.1 Specifications

NOTE: If the panel uses automatic SIA or Contact ID communications formats, the

reporting codes the LINKS2450 will send must still be programmed on the panel.

• Power supply: 11.5-14VDC at 750mA (PS1520, PC5204, PC4204, or powered

from 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 ×

26mm); 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

with a default program and is operational with a minimum of programming.

• To program via a keypad when connected to PC5015, PC5010, PC5008, PC1580,

PC1565 or PC585 panels, program the LINKS2450 using any system keypad

• To program via a keypad when connected to PC4010/4020 v3.0 panels,

program the LINKS2450 using a PC2550RK keypad connected directly to the

LINKS2450.

• EEPROM Memory

The LINKS2450 uses EEPROM memory, which will retain all program

information even if AC and battery power, are removed.

1.2 Antenna

NOTE: You must match the antennas to the frequency you will be using.

The antenna for the LINKS2450 is

not

supplied. For optimum performance of the

LINKS2450, use a quality antenna system, such as model SLA-532, available from

Safe Link Corporation. This 5/8 over 5/8 wave high performance antenna offers

features specifically designed for security radio installations.

• 5db gain two-piece mast with center coil

• Standard frequency range 440-470MHz

• Five feet of coax with BNC connector attached.

Normally, you will install the antenna on the top of the alarm control panel cabinet.

For better reception at the central station, you can mount the antenna in a remote

location using the optional mounting bracket. A compact 13” replacement mast,

model SLA-313 (3dB gain) is available for limited space installations.

2.4 Mount and Wire the LINKS2450 1. Run the panel wiring and the power supply wiring to the LINKS2450 mounting location. 2. Remove the four screws that attach the LINKS2450 circuit board to the plastic cabinet. 3. Pull all wires through the hole at the back of the cabinet. 4. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall. Use the appropriate wall anchors when securing the panel to drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or similar surfaces. 5.

DIAGRAM 2-1 Hook-up For PC5010, PC5015, PC5008, PC1565, PC1580, PC585 Panels NOTE: Programming section [01], option 2 must be OFF for LINKS2450 to work with these panels. CAUTION: Due to the sensitivity of the RF circuitry, avoid any contact with the coils and potentiometers on the LINKS2450 circuit board. *If power supply supervision is required for the LINKS2450 VTX terminals, use the PC5204. If no supervision is needed, you can use the PS1520 or the control panel Bell+/Aux- terminals.
