2.5.3 Installing the Network Communication Module
Install the type of network communication module you will use (whether high speed or not, wire or
fibre) onto the chassis in the new CAB3/CAB4 cabinet or an existing panel's or annunciator's
cabinet.
HIGH SPEED NFN NETWORKS—USE HS-NCM ONLY
Use the High Speed Network Control Module circuit board
configuration that fits your installation needs.
• HS-NCM-W with twisted pair wire
• HS-NCM-SF with single mode fiber-optic cable
• HS-NCM-MF with multimode fiber-optic cable
1 Product Overview
The High-Speed Network Communications Module (HS-NCM) provides a means for connecting specific Notifier fire
alarm control products to High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™. There are six types of HS-NCMs available: HS-NCM-W for
connecting nodes with twisted-pair wire; HS-NCM-MF and HS-NCM-SF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-optic
cable; HS-NCM-WMF and HS-NCM-WSF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cables to nodes with twisted-
pair wire; HS-NCM-MFSF for connecting nodes with multi-mode fiber cable to nodes with single-mode fiber cable. The
following UL 9th Edition equipment may be used with the HS-NCM:
• NFS2-3030
• NFS2-640
• NFS-320
• NCA-2
• DVC
One HS-NCM can provide network communication for up to two nodes (including fire alarm control panels and network
annunciators).
The HS-NCM can also be configured as a repeater. In this configuration, the HS-NCM can boost data signals between
network nodes to extend communication distances or to pass data transmissions between two differently configured
network segments when wire and fiber co-exist on a network. For limitations and network wiring information for the HS-
NCM in repeater mode, refer to the High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net Manual. When using the HS-NCM as a repeater, the node
address for the HS-NCM must be set to zero (default). The node address can be changed through a fire alarm control
panel's network programming or through VeriFire Tools. Refer to the VeriFire™ Tools CD on-line help file.
For instructions on the additional capabilities available with the DVC, refer to the DVC Manual.
•
Input power requirements: 24 VDC, 0.375 amps, regulated, power-limited compatible power supply UL/ULC listed
for fire protective signalling use.
•
Communications circuit requirements: Refer to the High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net Manual for segment length limitations.
2 The Network Communications Module for Wire
•
Supports twisted-pair wire medium.
•
NFPA Style 4 (Class B) operation or NFPA Style 7
(Class A) operation.
•
Transformer coupling provides electrical isolation
between nodes.
•
Pluggable terminal wiring with strain relief.
•
Pluggable service connector (feeds signal directly
through) in the event that power must be removed from
a node (HS-NBB).
•
Data is regenerated at each node.
•
Two network ports to allow simultaneous connection to
fire alarm control panel and to programming computer.
•
Enables software and database upload/download over
High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net.

2 Product Overview
The Network Communications Module (NCM) provides a means for connecting specific Notifier fire alarm control
products to
NOTI•FIRE•NET™
. There are two types of NCMs available: NCM-W for connecting nodes with twisted-
pair wire, and NCM-F for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cable.
In most applications, one NCM is required per
NOTI•FIRE•NET™
network annunciators) . Even though the NCM has two NUP ports, only one may be connected to a
node. Except in some DVC applications, do not connect two NCMs via NUP ports (aka "NUP to NUP").
For instructions on the additional capabilities available with the DVC, refer to the DVC Manual.
