1. General Description
Natron WE-C is a wireless expander (network gateway) module designed for operation with
conventional fire alarm panels, including MAG series panel, produced by Teletek Electronics JSC.
Natron WE-C is powered from external power supply with back-up battery. The module is
equipped with special inputs for monitoring the main and back-up power supplies.
Natron WE-C communicates with Natron series wireless devices enrolled to its configuration. Up
to 32 wireless devices can be enrolled to a specific expander (network gateway) module, forming
a linear network. Up to 5 Natron WE-C modules can be connected to a single conventional fire
alarm control panel as this depends on the system/panel capacity.
Natron WE-C is mounted in a compact plastic enclosure box suitable for wall mounting. The
information of the status of the enrolled wireless devices is presented on a LCD text display. The
programming of the wireless devices parameters is from the module menus.
A dipole SMA type antenna is supplied with the expander (network gateway) module to ensure
wide covering range and stable communication with the enrolled wireless devices.
2. Functional Features
• Specially designed for extending the application of conventional fire alarm panels
• Direct connection to conventional zone terminal
• Compatible for operation with MAG series and third-party conventional fire alarm control
panels
• Up to 5 wireless expanders (network gateway) modules to conventional panel/building*
• Up to 32** NATRON series wireless devices enrolled to a single Natron WE-C module
• Dipole antenna, SMA connector type
• Event messages for wireless device status: low battery, tamper, lost device
• Menu for reviewing the signal strength of the enrolled devices
• LCD display, dot matrix 16x2
• Multilanguage menus
• Standards applied: EN 54-18; EN 54-25
* The number depends on the type of the conventional panel and the capacity of the system.
** The number of enrolled NATRON devices depends on the number of the current connected wired devices to
the conventional zone. Up to 32 wired and wireless detectors can be connected to a conventional zone.

    4. Installation Place and Mounting It is strongly recommended to design the Natron wireless system in advance on paper, before starting the installation. Natron WE-C expander (network gateway) module should be installed at 2-2.5m above the floor level. Attention: Avoid installation of Natron WE-C module and the wireless devices near to: •...
  • Page 3 General View and Dimensions Opening the enclosure box Mounting holes Positioning of the antenna Use fixing elements according the mounting surface Openings for running cables For achieving the best signal strength and coverage it is recommended the antenna to be mounted in straight up position! There are two openings for running cables The SMA antenna is mounted to the module...
  • Page 4: System Topology

    The enrolled to the module Natron series devices, operate in linear network. Up to 5 separate Natron WE-C modules can be connected to single conventional panel. The number of connected wireless modules depends on the system/panel capacity.
  • Page 5 6. PCB Elements To access the PCB of the module, open the enclosure box (follow the steps described in item 4). The PCB is factory mounted at the back side of the front cover. 1 - Terminals for connecting the conventional zone line - item 7.2. 2 - Terminals for connecting the sounders’...
  • Page 6 7.1 Power Supply Unit Natron WE-C is powered only from an external power supply unit 24V DC. The power supply terminals are connected to ±PW terminals of Natron WE-C as observing the polarity. Natron WE-C is equipped with a special input “Inp” for Fault monitoring of the external power supply unit.
  • Page 7 7.4 Zone Alarm EOL Resistors The zone alarm EOL resistors must be always installed at “Fire MCP” and “Fire Dev” terminals at Natron WE-C module. The value of the resistors is calculated according the operation voltage of the conventional zone and the fire alarm threshold current of the used manual call points and fire alarm detectors.
