Foreword
The contents of this manual are important and must be kept in close proximity of the Workstation. If building
ownership is changed, this manual including all other testing and maintenance information must also be passed to
the current owner of the facility. A copy of this manual was shipped with the equipment and is also available from
the manufacturer.

Introduction
The UniNet Workstation Software is the next step in facility monitoring and control. The software provides extensive
control and monitoring functions for fire, security, and building automation of local and remote sites. The software
is fully customizable in order to adapt to a wide variety of monitoring situations. The software supports multiple
operators and multiple workstations, monitoring all or a portion of local and remote sites.
This system is suitable for proprietary systems listed under:
•
NFPA 72-1993 Proprietary Service.
UniNet consists of graphical workstations monitoring and controlling, local or remote twisted pair or fiber optic
networks. Remote network monitoring is achieved through the use of a Building Communications Interface (BCI).
A twisted pair network topology (FT-10) may be a maximum length of 6000 feet per network segment with no T-
taps, allowing communications between 32 nodes in each segment. In addition FT-10 allows dedicated runs of
8000 feet point-to-point or multiple T-taps within 1500 feet of any other node on the segment. FO-10 communi-
cates over fiber-optic cable and can be configured in either a bus or ring topology with up to 8 db of attenuation
between nodes. The network has a maximum system capacity of 200 nodes. The network is supervised for shorts,
opens and node failures as dictated in Style 4 wiring.
The network power is 24 VDC nominal and receives operating power from a filtered, power limited source which is
listed for use with fire protective signaling units.
