1 Product Overview
The High-Speed Network Communications Module (HS-NCM) provides a means for connecting specific Notifier fire
alarm control products to High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™. There are six types of HS-NCMs available: HS-NCM-W for
connecting nodes with twisted-pair wire; HS-NCM-MF and HS-NCM-SF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-optic
cable; HS-NCM-WMF and HS-NCM-WSF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cables to nodes with twisted-
pair wire; HS-NCM-MFSF for connecting nodes with multi-mode fiber cable to nodes with single-mode fiber cable. The
following equipment may be used with the HS-NCM:
UL 9th Edition*
•
NFS2-3030
•
NFS2-640
•
NFS-320
•
NCA-2
•
DVC-EM
•
ONYXWorks
* - Power for the HS-NCM for use with UL 9th Edition panels is provided via the NUP connection on the FACP itself or an external UL/ULC listed power supply.
** - Power for the HS-NCM for use with UL 8th Edition panels must be provided by a 24 VDC UL/ULC listed power supply.
†
The following revisions
of the UL 9th edition panels require a 24 VDC UL/ULC listed power source to power the HS-
NCM and can not be powered via the panel's NUP port
† The revision and assembly name can be found on the fire panel's circuit board.
‡ NUP Port connections are still required for communication between the HS-NCM and the fire panel.
NOTE: All wiring connections are supervised and power limited.
One HS-NCM can provide network communication for up to two nodes (including fire alarm control panels and network
annunciators).
Per UL 864 9th Edition, the HS-NCM uses Active Multiplex Type 3 Communication.
The HS-NCM can also be configured as a high-speed repeater for applications requiring distances beyond the specified
limits between two nodes. For configuration and setup information, refer to "HS-NCM Configuration" on page 5. For
limitations and network wiring information for the HS-NCM, refer to the High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net Manual.
For instructions on the additional capabilities available with the DVC-EM, refer to the DVC and DAA Series Installation
Manual.
•
Input power requirements: 24 VDC, 0.400 A, regulated, power-limited compatible power supply UL/ULC listed for
fire protective signalling use.
•
Communications circuit requirements: Refer to the High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net Manual for segment length limitations.

6.1 Mounting Options The HS-NCM is designed to mount in a variety of CAB-3/CAB-4 compatible chassis, in the NFS-320 enclosure, on a BMP-1 blank plate for dress panel mounting, or behind the DVC-EM in the CA-1 or CA-2 audio chassis. HS-NCM-W can be door-mounted;... - Page 9 6.2 Interconnecting the HS-NCM-W When wiring consecutive HS-NCM-W boards, note that wiring may enter or exit at Port A or Port B as shown in Figure 7. HS-NCM-W port-to-port wiring is polarity sensitive. Port A must be connected to Port B of the next HS-NCM-W. A HS- NCM-W may be connected to any of the following devices: •...
