FAQs

How many alarms can I connect to one gateway?

The SmartLINK Gateway supports a maximum of 12 linked alarms or RF devices.

Is this gateway compatible with older Aico alarm series?

It is specifically optimized for Aico's 3000 series and RadioLINK+ enabled devices.

What happens if the power goes out?

The gateway features a built-in rechargeable battery backup, ensuring it continues to operate and monitor the system during a power loss.

Does the gateway require a Wi-Fi connection?

No, it utilizes a GSM network connection to transmit data, making it independent of local internet infrastructure.

What is 'House Coding'?

House coding is a security process that locks your alarm devices to the gateway, preventing them from interacting with other nearby wireless systems.

Can I view the data on my smartphone?

Yes, data is transmitted to a secure online dashboard accessible via web-enabled devices.

Troubleshooting

Gateway fails to report data to the online dashboard

Verify that the GSM signal strength is adequate in the install location and ensure the SIM card is active.

Alarms are not appearing on the dashboard

Re-run the house coding process to ensure all devices are correctly paired to the gateway's specific network.

System indicates a power fault

Check the mains connection and verify that the internal rechargeable battery has been allowed to charge for the recommended duration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides real-time visibility into system health and alarm events
  • Reduces manual testing requirements with remote diagnostic capabilities
  • Reliable operation through mains power and integrated battery backup
  • Highly secure communication with bidirectional encryption
  • Seamless integration with existing 3000 series and RadioLINK+ ecosystems

Cons

  • Requires an active GSM network connection for remote reporting
  • Limited to 12 devices per gateway, which may require multiple units for large properties
  • Initial setup requires familiarity with Aico's proprietary house coding process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SmartLINK Gateway is straightforward, focusing on mounting the device in a location with a strong GSM signal. Once powered, you must initiate the 'house coding' sequence to link it with your specific 3000 series or RadioLINK+ alarms; this creates a private, secure wireless network that excludes interference from other systems.

Regarding care, the device is largely maintenance-free due to its robust design. However, ensure the unit is installed away from large metal objects or dense concrete walls that could obstruct the RF signal. Periodically check the gateway's status lights via the online dashboard to ensure it remains connected to the network, and treat the battery backup as you would any critical safety component by testing the system after any power-related infrastructure changes.
