Since “Life Safety” requirements vary widely from country to country and from one locality to another, we strongly recommend you contact
your local authorities for an opinion before proposing a RHAON system for any Life Safety application. They know best what’s required in
your area to meet code requirements.
A summary of RHAON’s life safety features follows.

tem. Such systems, of course, also require a redundant Ethernet system. Changeover to the secondary or redundant system is automatic
in the event the primary system fails.

Fault Monitoring
An opto-isolated input monitors the integrity of an external wiring loop by detecting the presence of a “sense” voltage and reporting its
absence via the Ethernet network.

detection circuit functions either with or without the array being connected to a RHAON network. If the RHAON carrier is present when the
