1.1: General Description
The Simplex 4010 NION interfaces to a Simplex 4010 FACP to provide monitoring of the Simplex 4010 to a
UniNet™ 2000 network. The NION is based on the NION-NPB motherboard hardware and communicates with
the FACP via a 4-wire EIA-232 connection.
The NION to Simplex 4010 panel EIA-232 connection is handled by a Simplex 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card.
This card must be installed in the Simplex 4010 FACP for connection with a Simplex 4010 NION.
The Simplex 4010 FACP supports many optional devices through its N2 interface. The Simplex 4010 NION does
not support any of these devices other than the 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card.
Required Equipment
NION-NPB
SMX Network Transceiver
+24VDC power supply
NISCAB-1 cabinet
Simplex 4010-9811 Dual EIA-232 Card
1.2: Hardware Description
Simplex 4010 NION Motherboard
The NION-NPB (Network Input Output Node) is the EIA-232 motherboard used with the UniNet™ 2000 network.
All of the system components are based on LonWorks™ (Local Operating Network) technologies. The Simplex
4010 NION provides transparent or interpreted communications between the workstation and control panel.
The NION connects a LonWorks™ FT-10 or fiber optic network to a fire alarm control panel to the EIA-232 port
of the control panel. It provides a single, two-way communication channel for EIA-232 serial data when connected
to a control panel. NIONs are specific to the type of network to which they connect (FT-10 or fiber). The
LonWorks™ network interface accepts any standard SMX style transceiver (FTXC, S7FTXC, FOXC, or DFXC). The
transceiver type must be specified and ordered separately when ordering the Simplex 4010 NION.
The NION mounts in an enclosure (NISCAB-1) with conduit knockout.
Site Requirements
The NION must be installed in the following environmental conditions:
•
Temperature range of 0ºC to 49ºC (32°F - 120°F).
•
93% humidity non-condensing at 30ºC (86°F).
Mounting
The Simplex 4010 NION is designed for wall installation with wiring in conduit within 20 feet of the control panel
in the same room. The type of hardware used is at the discretion of the installer, but must be in accordance with
local code requirements.
NOTE: The NION-Simplex 4010 is for ancillary
use only and does not increase the burglary grade
of service for the system.
