Network Communications Module - Honeywell NOTIFIER NCA-2 Instruction Manual

Network Communications Module

3.10 Network Communications Module
Standard Network Communications Module, NCM-W/F
If networking two or more control panels on a standard NOTI•FIRE•NET™ (including NCA-2s):
• One standard network communications module is required per NOTI•FIRE•NET™ node.
• Do not share a network communications module with an NCA-2 and an FACP.
• Do not connect two network communications modules together via NUP ports (NUP to NUP).
High-Speed Network Communications Module, HS-NCM-W/SF/MF/WSF/WMF/MFSF
If networking two or more control panels on a High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™ (including NCA-2s)
• One high-speed network communications module may be used for up to two nodes.
• Do not connect two network communications modules together via NUP ports (NUP to NUP).
Installation
The standard or high-speed network communications module can be installed in the CHS-M3 immediately to the right of the main circuit
board.
It can also be installed in a CA-2 behind the DVC-EM, as described in the DVC Digital Voice Command. Note that if your network is
not high-speed, two network communications modules are necessary - one each for the NCA-2 and the DVC - so the second NCM-W/F
must be installed in a separate chassis within the cabinet. (A DAA chassis provides a slot for a network communications module to the
right of the DAA board. Refer to the DVC manual.)
See the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual and NCM Installation Document or High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual and High-Speed NCM
Installation Document for system configuration information.
1. Mount the module in the selected position. If another board is going to be mounted in the slot immediately in front of it, use stand-
offs to secure it in place. Otherwise use the screws provided.
2. Connect J1 on the NCA-2 (Figure 2.5 on page 16) to J2 or J3 on the standard network communications module (whichever is
closest) or to J6 on the high-speed network communications module, using the network cable provided (P/N 75556). Do not
connect two network communications modules via NUP ports (aka NUP to NUP).
3. Connect Channel A and/or Channel B as described in the appropriate Network Control Module installation document.
See the BMP-1 Product Installation Drawing if considering mounting the module (wire version) behind a blank module plate in a dress
plate or annunciator backbox.
