Notifier NCM-W, NCM-F ONYX® Series Network Communications Modules

NCM W NCM F Series Communications Modules Network Communications Module NCM provides Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels and NCA and Network Control Annunciators with a means to connect NOTI Two types of NCM are available for connecting nodes with twisted pair wire and for connecting nodes with fiber optic cable Do not mix NCM and High Speed HS NCM on the same Features Supports twisted pair wire medium NFPA Style 4 Class B operation or NFPA Style 7 Class A Two programmable data thresholds Transformer coupling provides electrical isolation between Pluggable terminal wiring with strain relief Pluggable service connector feeds signal directly through the event that power must be removed from a node 312.5 Kbaud transmission rate Data is regenerated at each node Two network ports to allow simultaneous connection to fire control panel and to programming computer Enables software and database upload download over Repeaters are available to increase signal Repeaters may be utilized to switch media type Up to 3,000 feet 914.4 m between nodes in a point to fashion actual distance varies with wire quality Interconnections When wiring consecutive NCM W wiring may enter or exit at Port A or Port B NCM W wiring is not polarity sensitive use of Port A or B is arbitrary An NCM W may be connected to any of the devices MIB W MIB WF NAM 232W NCM W in panel NCS W network connection RPT W RPT WF Switch Functions The NCM W provides two sets of to simplify network setup Enable ground fault by setting switch SW103 Channel A switch Channel B Activate on board end of line resistors setting switch SW100 Channel A switch 102 Chan B NOTE Correct configuration is dependent on network refer to the NOTI manual further information and diagrams refer to the NCM Instal Document 51533 Features Supports fiber optic medium NFPA Style 4 Class B or Style 7 Class A operation Data is immune to all environmental noise Optical isolation prevents ground loops NOTI fiber optic medium Fiber type 62.5 125 micrometers multimode or 50 125 multimode A0 260 Systems Maximum attenuation is 8 dB with 62.5 125 cid 2 m fiber and dB with 50 125 cid 2 m fiber Wavelength 1 820 nanometers use standard 850 nm Connectors ST style 312.5 Kbaud transmission rate Data is regenerated at each node Two network ports to allow simultaneous connection to fire control panel and to programming computer Enables software and database upload download over Repeaters are available to increase signal Repeaters may be utilized to switch media type Up to 3,000 feet 914.4 m between nodes in a point to fashion actual distance varies with wire quality Interconnections When wiring consecutive nodes fiber cable must exit one board on Transmit TX enter the next node repeater on Receive RX The fiber pair RX TX from Port A of one node repeater may be to either Port A or Port B of another node repeater NCM F may be connected to any of the following devices MIB WF NAM 232F another NCM F NCS F network RPT F RPT WF Specifications and humidity ranges This system meets requirements for operation at 0 to 49 32 to and at a relative humidity noncondensing of 85 at 86 per NFPA and 93 2 at 32 2 89.6 per ULC However the useful life of the system batteries and the electronic components may be affected by extreme temperature ranges and humid Therefore it is recommended that this system and all be installed in an environment with a nominal room of 15 to 27 60 to 80 supply 24 VDC 110 mA 10 04 2010 Page 1 of 2 Wire and Fiber the Same Network some networks it may be necessary to mix twisted pair wire fiber optic cable There are two solutions any network an RPT WF may be used as an interface wire and fiber a network that uses an AFP1010 or AM2020 a MIB may be used as the interface between wire and fiber Listings and Approvals following listings and approvals apply to the NCM In cases certain modules or applications may not be listed certain approval agencies or listing may be in process factory for latest listing status UL Listed S635 ULC Listed S635 CSFM NCM W and NCM F can be installed in any standard such as the CHS 4L CHS M2 CHS M3 or CHS 4N panel sheets Additionally the NCM W can be door on
