5.0 Network Installation
•All panels must be D8024, D9024 or D10024 Fire Alarm Control Panels. The network wiring is supervised. A fault
in the network wiring results in a warning message. In a fault condition on the network wiring each panel will
operate as a stand-alone unit.
•In a shared zone network, notification appliance peripherals associated with a specific zone can be
attached to any panel on the system.
Notification appliances connected to one panel that are associated with detection devices on
other panels will not activate in a network fault condition.
5.1 Serial Port Assignment and Function
•Serial network data communications take place using D9051 RS-485 Bus Modules attached to Serial Port C on the
Panel Control Module.
Figure 1: D9051 Network Connections
5.2 System Installations
•The panels are wired in series to an NFPA Class B, Style 3.5 signaling line circuit on the appropriate RS-485 bus.
The RS-485 terminals on the D9051 Module are polarity sensitive. The channels are marked A and B, and data
cables should be connected A to A and B to B. Cross wiring between channels will result in corrupted data but will
not damage equipment.
•Use shielded twisted pair wiring such as the Data Grade Cable D293, Beldon 8670 two-core twisted pair, or non-
shielded 18 gauge cable from Atlas, Guardian Sound & Security, or their equals. To avoid data corruption, route
cables so that they do not run next to other cables.
•The total length of the data cables between the two end panels must not exceed 3,935 ft. (1,199 m) per channel.
