XFP Network Driver Card
AFP711
Features:
- An optional system expansion device for use with XFP 1/2 Loop 32 Zone fire panels.
- Allows the connection of up to eight XFP Repeaters or eight XFP Main panels (any mix) on an RS485 network.
- One AFP711 card required per networked Main XFP 1/2 Loop 32 Zone panel (note that XFP510-16 and XFP510-32 repeaters include a network driver card as standard).
- The AFP711 is NOT compatible with XFP Single Loop 16 Zone panels which require a CFP761 card for networking.
Key network protocol features when used for interconnecting XFP main panels:
- Can be used to connect up to 8 XFP main panels (any mix) over a two-wire RS485 network of up to 1KM in length.
- Each networked XFP can be programmed to accept Fires, Faults and Control actions such as Silence Alarm Sounders and Control Panel Resets from other panels.
- Each XFP will accept Disablement commands for zones, sounders and output sets from other panels.
- All panels monitored for network wiring faults.
- Fires and faults on remote panels are displayed on local panels including the point description.
- C&Es can be programmed into local panels dependent on which remote panel is in alarm.
- The network supports the programming of site data into remote panels from a PC at a local panel.
- Time and date is common to all panels.
- All networked main panels require a network communication card.
- It is not possible to mix XFP main panels and XFP repeaters on the same network.
Key network protocol features when used for connecting XFP repeaters
- Can be used to connect up to 8 XFP repeaters (any mix) to one XFP main panel.
- Up to 500m of cable may be fitted to an XFP two-wire repeater network.
- Each XFP repeater offers all the functions and controls of an XFP main panel.
- The XFP main panel must have a network communication card fitted.
- It is not possible to mix XFP main panels and XFP repeaters on the same network.
