DESCRIPTION
The Faraday MPC-Net network is a way to link Faraday MPC-6000 and MPC-7000 Fire Alarm Control units , RND-1 Remote Network Annunciators , and devices such as printers, and computers together to form a peer-to-peer network. Each device connected to the network requires a NIB (network interface board). The NIB communicates with the attached device though an RS232 port. It receives 24VDC from a MPC-6000, MPC-7000 or RND-1. The network is wired from node to node in a daisy chained ring configuration for style 7 operation. It can also be wired node to node in a daisy chained “flat” configuration with two ends for style 4 operation. (Style 7 is recommended). The network side of the NIB has 2 ports.

Port 1 (reverse direction) is an isolated port and port 2 (forward direction) is a non-isolated port. Port 2 of a NIB must be wired to port 1 of the next NIB (see wiring diagrams). The signals are regenerated at each NIB allowing a distance of 3000 feet between NIBs. The 12535 & 12536 Fiber Optic Converters allow nodes to be connected via Fiber Optic Cable. The multi-mode converter 12535 is designed to use duplex 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber cable with ST connectors. The single mode converter 12536 is designed to use duplex 9/125 µm single mode fiber cable with SC connectors. The maximum loss allowed between each NIB withfiber converters is 10dB. A total of 127 NIBs (note: address 121-127 are reserved for certain devices) can be connected on a network.

There are three versions of NIBs:

If MPC-7000 has both loop and signal expansion modules installed, you must use the 12523A as the 12603 will not fit in the enclosure.

MOUNTING
The NIB must be mounted in the same room in conduit as the RS232 serial device it is connecting to. If the NIB is connected to a NIB in another building, each of those 2 NIBs requires a p/n 12525 surge protector.
