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. 1.1 The Network Communications Module for Wire (NCM-W) Ground Fault Detection Switches and Network End-of-Line Termination Resistor Switches Diagnostic LEDs EF B TERM B LED10 1 LED10 0 A HI LED6 B HI LED7 RCDA RCDB LED4 LE D2 STATA STATB LED3 LE D5 RECON PULSE1 LED1 LE D8 RE SET POW ER SW101 SW 102 ON OFF SW103 SW 100 ON OFF EF A TERM A J3 J2 LCM A NUP2 NUP1 Not used SW1 LCMTERM AA OFF ON SW2 Figure 1 NCM-W LCM B NCM-w.cdr Channel A & B Connections Network Connection Ports (NUP) · Supports twisted-pair wire medium. · NFPA Style 4 (Class B) operation or NFPA Style 7 (Class A) operation. · Two programmable data thresholds. · 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. · 312.5 Kbaud transmission rate. · 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 NOTI·FIRE·NETTM. · Refer to the NOTI·FIRE·NETTM Manual (Network Version 4.0 and Higher) for wiring length and threshold information. 1.2 The Network Communications Module for Fiber (NCM-F) Diagnostic LEDs Not used Figure 2 NCM-F NCM-f.cdr Channel A & B Connections Network Connection Ports (NUP) · Supports fiber-optic medium. · NFPA Style 4 (Class B) or Style 7 (Class A) operation. · Data is immune to all environmental noise. · Optical isolation prevents ground loops. · NOTI·FIRE·NETTM fiber optic medium. · Fiber type: · 62.5/125 micrometers (multimode, 8 dB limit) · 50/125 micrometers (multimode, 4.2 dB limit) · Wavelength (1): 820 nanometers.

NCM-W port-to-port wiring is not polarity sensitive. The use of Port A or Port B is arbitrary. An NCM-W may be connected to any of the following devices: · MIB-W · MIB-WF · NAM-232W · NCM-W (in another panel) · NCS-W network connection · RPT-W · RPT-WF For information regarding these devices, refer to the documentation listed in Table 4 "Supplemental Documentation".

Also, note that the fiber-optic pair (RX, TX) from port A of one Node/Repeater may be connected to either Port A or Port B of another node/repeater (refer to Figure 5). An NCM-F may be connected to any of the following devices: · MIB-F · MIB-WF · NAM-232F · Another NCM-F · Network connection for NCS-F · RPT-F · RPT-WF For information regarding these devices, refer to the NAM-232 and Repeater manuals listed in Table 4 "Supplemental Documentation". Note: See the NOTI·FIRE·NETTM Manual (Network Version 4.0 and Higher) for maximum fiberoptic cable attenuation.

There are two solutions for this situation. 1. In any network, an RPT-WF may be used as an interface between wire and fiber. 2. In a network that uses an AFP1010 or AM2020, a MIB-WF may also be used as the interface between wire and fiber. See 1.2 "The Network Communications Module for Fiber (NCM-F)" for requirements and restrictions on the use of fiber optic cable. See the NOTI·FIRE·NETTM Manual (Network Version 4.0 and Higher) for a discussion of all compatible configurations.

Additionally, the NCM-W can be door-mounted on the ADP-4B Dress Panel on a single-space blank plate (BMP-1) for mounting in a CAB-4 Series cabinet. Note: The module cannot be mounted in the ADP-4B Dress Panel when a front slot of the CHS-4 or CHS-4N is occupied, or when either of the two front right positions of the CHS-M2 is occupied. Always be certain there is enough clearance to close the cabinet door when this installation is used. ADP4-door-module.cdr Single-space blank plate Mount a single-space blank plate onto the ADP-4B Dress Panel. Fasten module to the plate with four screws (included). 5 Supplemental Documentation The table below provides a list of document sources (manuals) containing additional information regarding the NCM and products that it can connect to.
