1 Overview
The ANN-LC Lite-Connect module provides a multi-FACP system solution where a single communicator and phone line
for Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble reporting to a central station are shared using fiber-optic cables. Compatible panels
include the MS-9050UD Series software version 4.0 or later and the MS-9200UDLS Series software version 7.0 or later.
Each FACP requires its own ANN-LC. The FACP/ANN-LC pair are referred to as a node on the fiber circuit. One hub and
16 nodes are allowed. The hub must be an MS-9050UD panel. This FACP acts as a centralized communicator to all other
nodes. Each node requires a unique node address that is assigned in FACP programming. Refer to the appropriate FACP
manual for programming information. The hub communicates with the nodes via fiber-optic media from one ANN-LC to
the next. All ANN-LC boards must be running the same version of Lite-Connect module software. The circuit can be
wired in either Class A or Class B.
NOTE: When using the IPGSM-DP(C) or IPGSM-COM Commercial Fire Communicator, node address
settings 10 or above should not be used.There are no restrictions with the IPGSM-4G(C).

2 Specifications

Operating voltage: 24 VDC
Maximum current: 150 mA @ 24 VDC
Maximum attenuation of the optical signal between any two ANN-LC cards for 62.5/125 or 50/125 multi-mode fiber
optic cable: 5 dB.
For uninterrupted cable runs, this will equate to a maximum fiber optic cabling distance of 3.1 miles (5km) between
each Lite-Connect card.
NOTE: Any attenuation incurred through the use of cable splicing, optical patch connections, or other loss
inducing equipment in the fiber cable path between Lite-Connect cards shall be included in the overall
attenuation calculation, along with the fiber cable, and shall not exceed in total the 5db attenuation limit.
3 Installation
The ANN-LC ships with a hardware kit containing a ground cable, a 21" long ribbon cable, 2 hex nuts, and 1 self-tapping
screw.
NOTE: Installation and wiring of this device must be done in accordance with NFPA 72 and local ordinances.

Connections must be made using duplex LC connectors (per IEC 61754-20). The over-bending of fiber-optic cables can cause breakage.
  • Page 4 4.4 Class A Wiring Class A wiring begins at the MS-9050UD being used as the hub and returns to the hub after wiring to the last node on the circuit. In class A wiring, a single open will not result in fragmentation of the circuit. Communication will continue while the hub and every installed node display a trouble condition on their host FACP..
