1. General Description
Natron WE-A is an addressable wireless expander (network gateway) module, designed for
operation with iRIS8 and iRIS4 addressable fire alarm panels. Natron WE-A is powered directly by
the loop line and can be controlled via the communication protocol. Natron WE-A has a built-in
isolator module.
Natron WE-A communicates with Natron series wireless devices enrolled to its configuration. The
wireless devices are automatically recognized from the fire panel and are set in consecutive
addresses after the set address of the expander (network gateway) module. Up to 32 wireless
devices can be enrolled to a specific expander (network gateway), forming a linear network. Up to
5 Natron WE-A wireless expander (network gateway) modules can be connected to a single
iRIS8/iRIS4 fire alarm control panel.
Natron WE-A 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.
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.
