Installation and Operation Manual
The FW106/FW106C can also connect with up to 110 panels and/or remote annunciators via a CAN bus to form
a fire emergency detection and notification network system.
Networked panels and/or annunciators can share the following events and manual controls:
Event (signal) type: ALARM, SUPERVISORY, TROUBLE, MONITOR, OUTPUT
Manual Control type: Signal Silence, Buzzer Silence, Reset, Acknowledge
Event/control sharing can be configured in three modes – Peer to Peer, Group, and Master/Slave.
Peer‐to‐Peer
All panels/annunciators are intended to function as a single system and share events/controls of each
other.
Group
Panels/annunciators can be assigned into multiple groups. There are two options of event/control
sharing:
"Events & Operation" – Events and controls are only shared within individual group; Events and
o
Controls are NOT shared across the groups.
"Operation Only" – Events are shared across the network. Controls are shared within individual
o
group. Each panel/annunciator can silence troubles locally outside of the group.
Master/Slave
Only one panel (address #1) can be the Master panel. The Master panel can receive events from all
o
networked panels, as well as have controls over all panels.
All the other panels are Slave panels. A slave panel can only view events from its own inputs, and
o
control its own outputs.
All annunciators act like the Master panel.
