D. Locating and Installing the 2550 The 2550 is housed in a plastic enclosure and requires an additional 16.5 VAC – 40VA transformer (Recommended Transformers: Ademco 1361, MG Electronics Model MGT1640 or equivalent) and backup 1.4 AH battery (Recommended Battery: Powersonic PS-1212 or equivalent). The recommended battery measures 3.8 inches long by 2.3 inches high by 1.7 inches wide. A battery wider than 1.7 inches will not allow for proper closure of the Uplink 2550 case.

The telephone number or IP address and Port number of the central station receiver where all of the signals should be sent c.
6. Definition of Output Relays (Default = #1 Loss of Cellular Service, #2 Central Station ACK Failure, #3 Total Unit Failure) There are 11 Trouble states that be declared by the 2550, and each of these states can be programmed from the Dealer Web Site to activate one of the three Output Relays.
Test the following: a. Check to see that all 5 LEDs are green. The first 4 LEDs should be solid green, and the 5th LED should be flashing green. b. Disconnect the Telco Line, wait the appropriate period of time, then check to see that 1) the Telco LED has turned solid red, and b) a Telco Trouble condition has been reported to the monitoring central station (if this feature is active). c. With the Telco Line still disconnected, trip an alarm on the alarm panel.
6. All power-limited wiring must be secured a minimum of ¼ inch away from all non-power-limited high voltage wiring, and all non-power-limited high voltage wiring must be routed through a different conduit than any of the power-limited wiring or cable. 7. The 2550 can be used in conjunction with the alarm panel’s DACT, or it can be the only means of off-premises communication for the alarm panel. 8. The 2550 must be programmed to send a Test signal to the central station a minimum of once every 24 hours. 9.
8. The 2550 must be programmed to send a Test signal to the central station a minimum of once every 24 hours. 9. The 2550 Output Relay #1 must be programmed for Loss of Cellular Service (i.e., Network Trouble Supervision), must be connected to a reporting zone on the alarm panel, and the zone must be set up as closed in the normal state and open in the off-normal state . Activation of this zone must annunciate locally. 10.
