Alarm Network Reference Communications and Specifications Optics Fire Alarm Network communications available for wired or fiber optic connections Wired communications are available on Network modules available with either wired only or as a modular design allowing of either wired or fiber optic media modules Fiber optic communications are available with fiber modules on the Network interface modules or using the higher performance multiple signal optic modems Fiber optic links are point to point continuous connections between Fire Alarm nodes LED status indicators assist with system setup and communication signal modems use optical transmitters to provide transmission distances compared to copper over 20 miles 32 km may be possible with single mode fiber Designs are optimized for fiber type models are for single mode fiber or multi mode fiber Multiple signal modems are two slot modules and are with separate enclosures if required for Network node control panels modular interface modules provide Class B or Class X communications using wired or fiber optics selectable separately to match requirements media module details Provides isolated earth detection Compatible with Simplex isolated loop and protectors Electrical characteristics are similar to RS 485 signal fiber optic media module Fiber optic links provide immunity to electrical short circuits and ground conditions LED based fiber optic media module uses two fibers to communicate has type ST compatible with 62.5 125 or 50 125 fiber Bi Directional Couplers are available to allow use of fiber cable for Network communications communications fiber optic modules Laser based half duplex communications over single connections Available for single mode or multi mode fiber Refer to information summary on pages 2 and 3 and to sheet S4100 0049 for additional feature Alarm Network Communications Wired or Fiber Optic Continued Bridge Modules connect multiple loops and provide Star topology Physical Bridge Modules connect to Network using wired or fiber optic media and using modem media modules refer to sheet S4100 0057 for details TCP IP Physical Bridge Modules are similar but LAN Local Area Network compatible
