2.4 NION Hardware Connections
This NION requires these physical connections:
Network
Facilitates NION’s communication over the Intelligent Fire Integrator™ Echelon
network. The transceiver fits onto the tranceiver header connector.
Data
Facilitates the exchange of data between this NION and the panel it is monitoring.
Power
Provides power for this NION.
2.4.1 SMX Network Hardware Connections
Connection of the network media to this NION is made via an SMX transceiver. The network
SMX transceiver daughterboard is a component of every NION. That transceiver provides the
network medium interface for NION network communication.
These are the styles of SMX transceivers:
•
FTXC for wire bus and star.
•
FOXC for fiber point-to-point.
•
DFXC for bidirectional fiber.
The corresponding transceiver style that is unique to its specific network
application/connection must be ordered separately.
SMX Transceiver Installation
The procedure for mounting any transceiver daughterboard to a motherboard is the same for all
styles of transceivers.
Step 1. Remove power from the NION.
Step 2. Install the two standoffs on the motherboard.
Step 3. Align the transceiver header connectors on the transceiver header and the motherboard
and press down until the transceiver is securely attached to the motherboard.
Step 4. Attach the transceiver board to the standoffs with the provided screws.
Step 5. Make the data connection.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the installer conform to local code requirements when installing
all wiring. All power connections must be non-resettable. Refer to the current JCI catalog for
specific part numbers and ordering information for each NION.
!
WARNING: Power
Always remove power from any NION before making any changes to switch settings, when removing
or installing; option modules, SMX network modules and software upgrade chips, or damage may
result.
