Using the UNI/59

The UNI/59 provides the communications 
link between the CMnet and up to 59 T-Line 
or U-Line modules. You 

cannot

 use a 

combination of T-Line and U-Line modules 
with the UNI/59. The UNI/59 module can 
store one module driver and up to 59 Graphic 
Function Blocks (GFBs), depending on the 
size of the GFBs.

A UNI/59 module contains a 32-bit 
microprocessor, flash memory, and non-
volatile RAM (stores data even during a 
power failure) for executing GFBs. The 
UNI/59 can communicate with an optional 
BACview keypad/display using the Keypad 
Display port and can communicate with a 
laptop computer running SuperVision using 
the UNI/59’s Access port and an APT.

You must use a version 6.00g driver or later 
with this module. Two module drivers are 
available for the UNI/59:

• The U5M module driver (which is the 

default driver shipped with the module) 
supports only U-Line modules. See the 

U5M Module Driver

 document at 

http://www.automatedlogic.com, or 
the SupportPlus CD for more 
information.

• The U5I module driver (available on the 

Automated Logic Corporation web site) 
supports only T-Line modules. See the 

U5I Module Driver

 document at 

http://www.automatedlogic.com, or 
the SupportPlus CD for more 
information.

Make sure you use the correct module driver 
for your application.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications to this 

unit not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the 
user’s authority to operate equipment.

NOTE

This equipment has been tested and 

found to comply with the limits for a Class A 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful 
interference when the equipment is operated 
in a commercial environment. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate 
radio frequency energy and, if not installed 
and used in accordance with the instruction 
manual, may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications. Operation of this 
equipment in a residential area is likely to 
cause harmful interference in which case the 
user will be required to correct the 
interference at his own expense.

Specifications

Power

24VAC ± 10%, 50-60Hz, 0.3A (7.2VA) 

power consumption (single Class 2 
source only, 100VA or less). (24VAC ±10%, 
50-60Hz if ordered for UUKL Smoke 
Control Systems.)

Communication

One EIA-232 port for 

diagnostics (9600 bps or 38.4 kbps), two 
EIA-485 ports for Unet communication 
(9600 bps or 38.4 kbps), one EIA-485 port 
for CMnet communication (9600 bps, 
38.4 kbps, or 156 kbps).
