These tests should be performed only by those who are knowledgeable in the installation,
operations, and maintenance of KCi equipment.
NOTE: Whenever the following procedure produces a transmission, wait at least one minute
after the third round is transmitted before proceeding to the next step.
➢ CONNECT antenna. Ensure that the lightening arrestor is connected properly.
➢ CONNECT POWER - If the STAR-ELT is powered from an FM approved FACP or
booster panel, connect +24VDC from the power source to the STAR-ELT using the
power isolation module if ground fault isolation is required.
➢ IF THE OPTIONAL AC POWER SUPPLY IS USED –
o CONNECT AC Power to the optional power supply – The green AC Power LED
will illuminate.
o CHECK the battery voltage before connecting to the STAR-ELT – The voltage
across the battery terminals should be between 12 and 15 volts.
o CONNECT the 12v battery to the BATTERY terminals on the power supply
board – The Power Trouble LED should turn off after timeout, leaving only the
green AC power LED on, indicating everything is operating normally.
➢ TRIP each zone (Zone 1 to Zone 4) by placing each zone’s alarm initiating device into
the alarm mode – Confirm reception at the receiving station.
➢ REMOVE AC power and check the operation of the panel on battery backup. Re-install
AC power after test.
NOTE: Before leaving the panel, check to make sure: all alarm and trouble indicators are off,
and only the Green AC Power LED is illuminated if the optional power supply is used.
