Notifier NAM-232 Quick Start Manual

GENERAL The NAM-232 Network Adapter Module functions as an in- terface between the AFP-200, AFP-300, and AFP-400 Fire Alarm Control Panels and the NOTI•FIRE• NET™. The control panels each consume a single-node address on the network. The NAM-232 interfaces to the control panels through the EIA-232 serial communications port. NOTI•FIRE•NET™ is a series of systems that allow a group of Fire Alarm Control Panels and other control equipment to connect together to form a true peer-to-peer network. Equip- ment that connects to NOTI•FIRE• NET™ and communi- cates with other equipment using the network may be re- ferred to as a network node. An NFS-3030/NFS-640 Fire Alarm System with an NCM Network Control Module installed; an NCA Network Control Annunciator with an NCM installed; an AM2020/AFP1010 Fire Alarm System with a SIB-NET Se- rial Interface Board installed; an NCS Network Control Sta- tion; an INA Intelligent Network Annunciator; and an AFP- 200/300/400 with a NAM-232 may all be network nodes. The network supports communications over a twisted-pair wire or fiber-optic medium. A network combination of both wire and fiber may exist in the same network. NOTE: Refer to manual network configuration section for panel compatibility. NOTI•FIRE•NET™ is a trademark of NOTIFIER, 1994. NETWORK FEATURES AFP-200: 1. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si- lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-200. 2. Limited cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1- 45 are network independent. Zones 46-89 are initialized as one (1) “OR” equation. 3. The local node can send or receive network zone activa- tions. AFP-300/AFP-400: 1. Read/Alter Status; Group Enable/Disable; Individual Point Enable/Disable. 2. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si- lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-300/AFP-400. 3. Cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1-99 are network independent. 4. The local node can send or receive network zone activa- tions. 5. Remote ACS control via the INA EIA-485 port. Two (2) annunciator addresses for a total of 128 annunciator points per AFP-300/AFP-400 system.

Network Adapter Module Fiber (NAM-232F) LED INDICATORS • RECON: This yellow LED should remain off at all times when the network is operating properly. If it illuminates periodically, check the network media and thresholds using the MET-1 (Media Evaluation Tool). • STATB: This yellow LED illuminates when the NAM- 232 is not receiving valid data from NOTI•FIRE• NET™ on Port “B”. • RCVDB: This green LED illuminates when the NAM- 232 is receiving data from the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ on Channel “B” (wire or fiber connection). • B HI (NAM-232W only): This green LED illuminates to indicate the NAM-232W Channel “B” is set for high threshold (N/A on NAM-232F). • A HI (NAM-232W only): This green LED illuminates to indicate the NAM-232W Channel “A” is set for high threshold (N/A on NAM-232F). • RCVDA: This green LED illuminates when the NAM- 232 is receiving data from the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ on Channel “A” (wire or fiber connection). • STATA: This yellow LED illuminates when the NAM- 232 is not receiving valid data from NOTI•FIRE•NET™ on Port “A”. • PULSE: This green LED illuminates when the NAM- 232 is transmitting data to NOTI•FIRE•NET™. • TROUBLE: This yellow LED indicates that the NAM- 232 is not functioning. • TXD: This green LED indicates when the NAM-232 is transmitting data over the EIA-232 interface to the AFP-200, AFP-300, AFP-400 FACP. • RXD: This green LED indicates when the NAM-232 is receiving data over the EIA-232 interface from the AFP-200, AFP-300, AFP-400 FACP. NETWORK CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE • NFPA Style 4 & 7 network operation. FEATURES, continued NAM-232F: Network Adapter Module (Fiber) • Supports fiber optic medium. • Transmission rate of 312.5 Kbaud. • DIP switch selectable single-port or dual-port monitoring. • DIP switch selectable network drill option. • Data is regenerated at each node. • Data is immune to all environmental noise. • Diagnostic LED indicators. • Optical isolation prevents ground loops. • High level of data security. • NFPA Style 4 & 7 network operation. MOUNTING The NAM-232 normally mounts inside the back of the control panel cabinet. The NAM-232 can also mount in the cabinet of other nodes on the network, provided that the distance be- tween the NAM-232 and its host node is not greater than 50 feet (15.24 m). GENERAL NOTES: 1) AFP-200, AFP-300, and AFP-400 lose local CRT capability when connected to the NAM-232. 2) AFP-200 system loses local printer and CRT capability when connected to the NAM-232. 5331conf.wmf 5331fibr.wmf *NOTE, NOTI•FIRE•NET™: NOTI•FIRE•NET™ version 3.0 network will not support the ONYX™ Series of products (NFS-640, NFS-3030, NCA, NCS- W/F-ONYX, or NWS). NOTI•FIRE•NET™ version 4.0 network will not support the INA, NFS-3030, or NWS. NOTI•FIRE•NET™ ver- sion 5.0 network will not support the INA. *NOTE, NAM-232 FIRMWARE UPGRADE: The NAM-232 comes from the factory with firmware for a version 3.0 network. To upgrade the NAM-232 for a version 4.0 network, order NROM-NAM4.0M. To upgrade the NAM-232 for a version 5.0 network, order NROM-NAM5.0M.
