Section 2 Description and Installation
2.1 NION-16C48M Description
The NION-16C48M (16 Control, 48 Monitor) is a discrete input/output interface used on the
Intelligent Fire Integrator™ network. The NION-16C48M provides a gateway to the network for
discrete monitored devices, equipment and panels that have dry contacts; discrete devices can
operate on the same network as equipment with an EIA-232 output.
The NION-16C48M connects a LonWorks™ wire or fiber network with discrete monitored devices
and conventional panels. It provides a single two-way communication channel for discrete inputs
and outputs. NIONs are specific to the type of network to which they connect (wire or fiber). The
transceiver type must be specified and ordered separately when ordering the NION.
