1. Introduction
Uplink’s MODEL 2550 GSM Alarm Communicator is a UL Listed alarm
communicator designed to interface with most manufacturer’s alarm panels that
incorporate a digital telephone dialer. A key feature of the 2550 is a “dialer
capture” interface to the alarm panel. If the alarm panel’s TELCO connection is
compromised, or if no TELCO connection is present, the 2550 will “intercept ”
the alarm panel’s digital dialer output when the panel has an event to report, and
communicate with the panel as if it were a central station alarm receiver. Once
the 2550 communicates with the alarm panel, it transmits the alarm information
to the central station receiver in either Contact ID (SIA-DC05) or SIA (SIA-DC03)
format.
The 2550 uses GSM technology to send event information to the central station.
It can be used as the primary or backup communications path. The 2550 is
perfect for residential and small business burglary and fire installations. (Please
refer to the UL Compliance section of this manual for detailed requirements on
compliance with various UL Standards.)
2. Key Features
A. Full Event Reporting. Compatible with most alarm panels using Contact
ID (SIA DC-05 Standard) or SIA FSK Level 1 (SIA DC-03 Standard) digital dialer
formats. All event information sent by the alarm panel in either format (Account
number, zone information, User IDs, etc.) will be sent to the central station by the
2500 using the GSM network.
B. Telephone Line Supervision. Features a built-in telephone line
monitoring circuit designed to detect voltage (in the On-Hook state) or voltage
and current (in the Off-Hook state). If sufficient voltage or current is not detected,
a relay is activated causing the unit to “intercept” (or “capture”) the alarm panel’s
digital dialer output and substitute the GSM cellular network instead of the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) as the communications path for sending
event information.
C. Panel to 2550 Cable Supervision. Monitors continuity of the cable
connecting the panel’s telephone dialer to the 2550. This feature is activated
through the web site www.numerexsolutions.com or by calling Uplink Customer
Service at 1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-5465).
D. Two Zone Inputs. Reports programmed events to the central station.
Programmable for Normally Opened or Normally Closed.
E. Three Relay Outputs. Programmable to activate upon the occurrence of
one or more of the following Trouble conditions:
• Cellular Network Loss
• No Central Station Acknowledgement
•
•
•

•
•
AC Loss
Low or Missing Battery
Telco Line Loss
Panel/MODEL 2550 Cable Supervision Trouble
Activation of Input(s)
Unit Disabled by Dealer Command
Watchdog Circuit Activation
Catastrophic Failure Condition
F. Power Source Monitoring (AC & Low Battery Reporting). Reports
low battery conditions to the central station when voltage drops below 10.2 VDC.
Reports Low Battery Restoral at 11.4 VDC. It can also be programmed to report
Loss of AC power to the central station. This occurs at 102 VAC and restores at
107 VAC.
G. Automated Testing. Sends an automated test signal to the central station
on a monthly, weekly or daily interval as programmed.
H. GSM Network Supervision. Supervises the local GSM network. If the
unit no longer locates the local GSM network, one of its output relays activates to
report this trouble condition.
I. Status/Received Signal Strength LEDs. The five LEDs indicate the
current operational status and are visible from outside the enclosure. These
LEDs can be placed into Received Signal Strength Indication mode (RSSI) to
assist in selecting the optimal mounting location for transmitting and receiving
cellular radio signals.
J. Easy Service Initiation. Ships with an active SIM card, with easy
activations available via the Web at www.numerexsolutions.com or by calling
Uplink Customer Service at 1-888-9-UPLINK (1-888-987-5465). Requires the

4. FCC and Industry Canada Regulatory Compliance
Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the ACTA. On the side of the cover of the 2550 is a label that
contains the product identifier, US: 3F0MO00BANYNETFDM. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company.
The 2550 employs two USOC RJ31X jacks.
The RJ31X plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular
plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible
modular jack that is also compliant.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. The REN
for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If the 2550 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to

telephone company or your alarm company.
5. FCC RF Exposure Information
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guide-lines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this module complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards. The FCC ID of this unit is TWV192513384X. For more
information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
The term “IC” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada Technical Specifications were met. The external antennas used
for this module must provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

7. Installation
A. General Considerations
Determine where to mount the unit. Keep the following in mind:
a. Obtain the best transmitted and received signal strength for the
cellular radio. (If a very strong cellular signal is not available, first
power the unit with the AC power and turn on S4 to test for the
location that provides the best signal strength.
b. Plug in the AC transformer.
c. Proximity to the alarm panel and where to route the 2550 unit’s
relay outputs that connect to the alarm panel unit’s inputs, and vice
versa. (These wires will need to be in conduit for a UL certificated
installation. See the UL Compliance Section.)
d. Proximity to the RJ31X Telco jack from the telephone system.
B. DIP Switch Settings
The 2550 has a four-position dipswitch. The dipswitches function as follows:

RSSI Measurements
Battery Mode is a low current default that extends battery life to its maximum in
accordance with UL requirements. In this mode, the amp-hour rating of the
battery is approximately equivalent to the number of days that the unit will
operate in standby before the battery is depleted. (E.G. a 1.4 AH battery will
operate the unit on standby for approximately 1.4 days.)
Sometimes it is convenient to allow full power operation while on Battery (such
as finding the optimum location to install using the RSSI function). S3 will allow
the user to override the battery mode. This switch must be returned to the OFF
position for normal operation, and for a proper UL installation.
C. LEDs

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.
After carefully considering all issues outlined in Section B (General
Considerations), proceed as follows:
1. Separate the top and bottom of the enclosure by depressing the tab on the
bottom of the unit and tilting the bottom of the plastic top outward and up.
2. Connect the supplied antenna with the 2550. The Antenna supplied may differ
from the ones depicted in the figures in this manual.
3. Go to the red, 4-position Dipswitch as shown in Figure 1 and set the dipswitch
as appropriate for this installation. (See Section 7B.)
4. Place Dipswitch #4 (S4) in the ON position. The LEDs are now operating in
RSSI Mode. Locate a good mounting position based on a good Received
Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). It is recommended that the
installation location demonstrate an RSSI of at least -60 dBm (3
solid green LEDs). The minimum acceptable RSSI is -80 dBm (1 solid
green LED). If the minimum acceptable RSSI cannot be achieved with the
supplied antenna at the installation location, contact customer service.
13
Figure 1: Parts on the 2550 PC Board

Position the bottom of the 2550 enclosure where it will be installed. Use four (4)
#6 screws and mount the unit using the four holes in the enclosure’s plastic
bottom. The 2550 unit’s dimensions are shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Inside & Outside Mounting Dimensions for the 2550
5. Make sure the unit’s antenna is connected, then place the backup battery in
its location in the bottom of the plastic enclosure.
6. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery to terminals
13 (BAT+) and 14 (BAT -) respectively on the 2550 JP10 terminal strip.
7. Connect the wires from the 120 to 16.5 VAC, 40 VA transformer to terminal
strip positions 11 and 12 (designated as “AC”) on the unit’s JP10 terminal
strip. Plug the transformer into a 120 VAC non-switched outlet. Use 18 to 14
gauge wire for wire lengths of 10 to 25 feet respectively. For wire lengths
longer than 25 feet, contact Uplink Technical Support.
8. Double check to make sure that the RSSI is still showing a good signal
strength level.
9. Before connecting the alarm panel and the 2550, first:
a. Return Dipswitch #4 (S4) to the OFF position.
b. Disconnect the AC transformer from its power outlet.
15
c. Disconnect the Positive and Negative connections to the battery.
E. Connecting The 2550 to the Alarm Panel and Telephone Jack
IMPORTANT: Make all connections to the 2550 in the powered down state.
Once all connections have been established, turn power on.
1.Remove AC and battery power from the 2550, then proceed as follows:
2. Dialer & Telco Connections.
a. Use the dual modular plug telephone cable provided with the 2550 to
connect it to the premises’ RJ31X jack. On the 2550’s side, one end of
the cable should be plugged into Jack JP4 (the Jack closer to the
Antenna). The other end of the cable should be plugged into the RJ31X
unit’s modular jack.
b. Connect the alarm panel’s telephone output to the 2550 with an
appropriate cable. On the 2550’s side, the cable should use an RJ45 plug
and be connected into Jack JP3 (the Jack closer to the Terminal Strip).
3. Inputs
The 2550 has two EOLR supervised inputs that report to the central station when
activated. These inputs are disabled in the default state and must be enabled via
the Dealer Web Site. The EOL resistors should be 2.2 kohms.
Connect activation devices into terminal strip JP10, terminals 7 (IN 1+) and 8 (IN
1-) for Input 1, and terminals 9 (IN 2+) and 10 (IN 2-) for Input 2 as needed. Both
inputs are Normally Open.
Note: It is recommended that Input 1 be used as a “Summary Alarm” input
from the alarm panel if the panel is capable of providing such an output. This
will provide the system with additional protection by reporting an alarm to the
central station in the unlikely event that the Telephone Line Supervision Circuit
has been circumvented by a perpetrator.
4. Outputs
The 2550 has three relay outputs that can be used to activate inputs on the alarm
panel or for other local purposes. Decide on how to use these outputs, then wire
them to terminal strip JP10 as follows:
Output #1
Output #2
Output #3
Terminals 1 (OUT 1+) and 2 (OUT 1-)
Terminals 3 (OUT 2+) and 4 (OUT 2-)
Terminals 5 (OUT 3+) and 6 (OUT 3-)
16
The default states for these 3 Outputs are as follows:

G. Programming and Central Station Reporting
18
Programming requires the telephone number of the monitoring central station’s
alarm receiver and/or its IP address and Port number. Determine whether to use
the default settings for the events to be reported customize them by completing
the following:
Use this web site to program:
a. Whether alarms will be sent to the central station via an IP connection or
via a telephone dialer
b. The telephone number or IP address and Port number of the central
station receiver where all of the signals should be sent
c. The account number to be sent to the central station for events generated
by the 2550
d. What event codes should be sent for the 2 Inputs/zones (for both the
normal and alarm states)
e. What event codes should be sent for Low Battery and Low Battery
Restoral
f. Whether alarm events should also be sent to an email account, and the
email account’s address
The following parameters can be configured from the Dealer Web Site;
1. Dialer Intercept Mode Status (Default = Intercept determined by Line Monitor)
The 2550 normally uses its built-in Telephone Line Monitoring circuit to
determine whether the unit should intercept the alarm panel’s digital dialer or
leave it connected to the premises telephone line. However, the unit can be
programmed to permanently intercept the panel’s dialer (RF Only Mode) or never
intercept the panel’s dialer from the Dealer Web Site.
2. Automated and On Demand Test Signals (Default = Weekly)
The Automated Test signal interval can be changed to Daily or Monthly from the
Dealer Web Site. In addition, an immediate test signal can be generated.
3. Activate/Deactivate Output Relays
Output relays #1, #2 and #3 can be activated or deactivated from the Dealer Web
Site. This feature allows immediate testing of the correct operation of these
outputs when connected to the alarm panel.
4. Normal State of Output Relays (Default = #1 Closed, #2 Closed, #3 Open)
The normal state of each of the three Output Relays can be changed from the
Dealer Web Site.
5. Normal State of Inputs (Default = #1 N.O., reports Alarms & Troubles, #2 N.O.,
reports Alarms & Troubles)
The normal state of each of the two Inputs can be programmed from the Dealer
Web Site as Normally Open/Normally Closed, and whether the unit will send
Alarms and Troubles, or Alarms only.
19
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. The 11 Trouble states are:
• AC Power Loss
• Low Battery
• Telco Trouble
• Cable Supervision Trouble (Panel to Model 2550)
• Loss of Cellular Service
• Model 2550 Unit Disabled (via Web Site command)
• Failure to receive ACK from Central Station
• Watchdog Circuit Trouble
• Input 1 Off-Normal
• Input 2 Off-Normal
• Total Unit Failure (defined as Loss of AC power and battery voltage below
8.0 volts)
7. Send Trouble Condition to Central Station (Default = Low Battery and Telco
Trouble only)
Any or all of the Trouble Conditions detectable by the 2550 can be programmed
to report that condition (and its Restoral) to the monitoring Central Station.
See Appendix A for a list of Contact ID format and SIA format event codes
generated by the 2550 that can be sent to the central station receiver.
See Appendix B for a list of the default event codes transmitted by the 2550.
H. Default Event/Email Messages
Email and Text Messaging will only be available for Status events (e.g., Low
Battery, Test, etc.) and state transitions on the 2 Inputs of the 2550. Events
transmitted from the premises alarm panel via the 2550’s dialer capture function
will not be sent out by email or text messaging.
The information sent to the programmed email address(es) will be the raw
Contact ID or SIA Event Code data plus the Zone number.
I. Completing the Installation and Testing
Once the physical installation is completed, the unit is activated from the Dealer
Web Site, and programming changes are made, test the 2550 along with the
alarm panel to ensure everything is functioning properly.
20
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.
Check that the 2550 has correctly intercepted the panel’s digital dialer
output and reported the event to the central monitoring station.
d. If using one or both of the inputs on the 2550, check to ensure both are
properly activated and report to the central station.
e. If using one or more of the Output Relays on the 2550, reconnect the
Telco Line, then go back to the Dealer Web Site and use the Switch
Output Relay command to test each relay. Make sure the alarm panel
properly detects the relay’s change of state and reports the proper event
to the central station.
f. Remove AC power and Battery Power from the 2550, then trip an alarm
on the alarm panel. Confirm the panel’s digital dialer properly sends this
event to the central station.
