  • Page 6: General

    General 1.1 General Repeaters (RPTs) are used to boost the data signal between network nodes, extending the data communication distance in NOTI•FIRE•NET™ systems (refer to Figure 1.1). There are three types of RPTs available: the RPT-W, RPT-F, and RPT-WF. The RPT- W is a Repeater (RPT) which supports twisted-pair wire only;...

  • Page 8: Rpt Mounting

    RPT Mounting 1.4 RPT Mounting RPTs may be mounted to a CHS-4L, CHS-M2, CHS-M3, or CHS2-M2 chassis or remotely in an ABS-8RB annunciator surface mount backbox with blank face plate. The RPT-W may also be mounted on a CHS-4 or CHS-4N chassis or on a BMP-1 for dress panel mount- ing.
  • Page 9 RPT Mounting CHS-M2 The RPT will fit in the third and fourth (outermost) layers of the CHS-M2. The recommended mounting location is the third layer. This mounting option can only be done if there are other option boards mounted in the first two layers. Screw (4) 4-40 standoffs onto the option board in the second layer.
  • Page 10 RPT Mounting CHS2-M2 The RPT can be mounted in the fourth position of the CHS2-M2. Be sure to mount the chassis to the backbox before mounting the RPT. Align the RPT over the PEMs on the back of the chassis. Secure with (4) 4-40 screws provided with the board or, if attaching a second option board, with stand-offs provided with the second board.
  • Page 11 RPT Mounting CHS-4N CHS-4N installation is for the RPT-W only. Screw (2) 6-32 standoffs onto PEM studs in chassis. Screw (2) 4-40 screws into top holes of RPT-W and attach (2) 4-40 standoffs. These standoffs will not attach to the CHS-4N, but are used to balance the board. Place tab on bottom of board into slot. Screw board into 6- 32 standoffs with (2) 6-32 screws.
  • Page 12 RPT Mounting ABS-8RB Mounting Before mounting the ABS-8RB, determine which knockouts are needed to wire the RPT. Remove knockouts. Mount the ABS-8RB. Place the RPT in the box and affix into PEM standoffs using (4) 4-40 screws. Draw appropriate wiring in through knockouts. 4-40 screws Repeaters for NOTI•FIRE•NET®...
  • Page 13: Rpt Configuration

    RPT Configuration 1.5 RPT Configuration The RPT has switches which are used to configure the RPT for correct operation (refer to Figure 1.9). SW1 on the RPT-W and RPT-WF is used to set the threshold for Port A. SW2 on the RPT-W sets the Port B threshold. SW3 on the RPT-W is used to enable or disable ground fault detection feed-through for the data line.
  • Page 14: Rpt Connections

    RPT Connections 1.6 RPT Connections Please note that when using fiber-optic connections, cable originating at a transmit port must be terminated at a receive port. NOTI•FIRE•NET™ wiring is power-limited. Also, when using twisted-pair wiring, polarity need not be observed. Figures 1.10 and 1.11 depict wiring examples using wire and fiber-optic connections.

  • Page 21: 2: Limit On System Path Length

    Network Wiring Requirements Limit for Fiber Optic Circuits The attenuation of cabling between two nodes/repeaters (fiber optic circuits are point-to-point) is limited by cable choice. If the distance required for a circuit segment is greater than permitted, a Repeater module (RPT-F) must be inserted into the circuit at intervals less than, or equal to, the attenuation length restriction.
