Fire Alarm System Limitations While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.

1 Section One: Description and Installation 1.1 Description of the AFP-300/400 NION The AFP-300/400 NION (Network Input Output Node) is the EIA-232 interface used with the network. All of the system components are based on LonWorks™ (Local Operating Network) technologies. The AFP-300/400 NION provides transparent or interpreted communications between the Workstation and control panels. Unless otherwise noted, full control capabilities are available for each interface. Check specific connections for details.

All rated loads are resistive. TB1 - Standard terminal block style port for EIA-232 connection to serial channel A. Echelon Network Transceiver Connector(J1) - Pin connection header for SMX Transceiver. Reset Pin (SW1) - Resets the NION and restarts the software.
NISCAB-1 Installation The AFP-300/400 NION may be mounted stand-alone in a single node enclosure, the NISCAB-1, where power is supplied by the monitored equipment or an external source. This enclosure is provided with door and key lock. Mounting the enclosure to its wall position 1) Use the provided key to unlock the enclosure cover. 2) Remove the enclosure cover. 3) Mount the enclosure to the wall. Refer to the enclosure mounting hole layout below.
1.5 AFP-300/400 NION Diagnostic LEDs The AFP-300/400 NION has 6 diagnostic LEDs used as aids in diagnosing proper operation. Service Service LED - Indicates binding status of node on Echelon network. Network • Slow blink indicates NION not bound. Network • Off indicates NION bound. Serial 2 • On indicates nonrecoverable error. Serial 1 Network Status - Indicates status of Echelon network interface. • • • Status PPacket acket NION Status Slow blink indicates network operation normal.
1.8 SMX Network Connection The UniNet facilities monitoring system is distributed via a LonWorks™ network. This high-speed network allows communication between field nodes and a Local Area Server or a BCI. NION modules provide the communication links between monitored equipment and the network. J1 SMX Connection A twisted pair of wires or dedicated fiber-optic cable is used for data transmission in the UniNet network. The SMX transceiver connects the NION to the network using one of these wiring types.
FTXC-PCA and FTXC-PCB Network Transceivers When used by the FTXC transceiver, FT-10 allows up to 8,000 feet (2438.4 m) per segment in a point-to-point configuration, up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) per segment in a bus configuration, or up to 1,500 feet (457.2 m) per segment in a star configuration. Each segment can support 64 nodes, and with routers, the system can be expanded up to 200 nodes.

1.9 Serial Connections with the AFP-300/400 Control Panel The NION must be connected to the CPU-300/400 board of the AFP-300/400 panel. Serial communication wires must be connected to the TB2 connector (EIA 232). For specific connections, refer to Figure 1-13: AFP300/400 NION/AFP-300/400 Wiring Diagram. The NION should be mounted within 20ft of the panel with all connections run in conduit.
1.10 Software Replacement/Upgrade Installation When replacing or upgrading the software and network PLCCs, execute the following steps: TANT 1. Disconnect all power to the AFP-300/400 NION. IMPOR IMPORT ANT:: Always exercise ESD precautions when directly handling the AFP -300/400 NION or any other hardware. AFP-300/400 2. Place the flash modules in their respective sockets according to the figure below. Orient the notch on the chip with the notch in the socket. 3. Re-apply power to the NION.
1.11 EVENT REPORTING FORMAT All Event reporting from the AFP-300/400 NION appears at the Workstation in the following format: NNNSSSXXXXXXXX Where NNN is the network node number for the AFP-300/400 NION. Where SSS is the node number programmed in the AFP-300/400 panel. Where XXXXXXXX is an 8 digit device ID. The 8 digit ID will conform to one of the following formats, depending on the nature of the device.

2 Section 2: The AFP-300/400 NION Explorer Plug-In 2.1 AFP-300/400 NION Explorer Overview The AFP-300/400 Explorer is a Windows application incorporated into the UniNet facilities monitoring system, allowing the user to control an AFP-300/400 fire panel using the familiar Windows Explorer style interface.
The AFP-300/400 NION supports the commands listed below. Different commands are accessible depending on what device type you right click. To access commands, right-click on the desired entry in the Explorer list. • Acknowledge - This will acknowledge the event currently displayed at the Workstation. NOTE: Performing the Acknowledge command from the plug-in will acknowledge the message at the AFP300/400 panel but not at the Workstation.
Figure 2-3: AFP-300/400 NION Explorer Startup Screen The Option Pulldown Menu Use Configurable Event Status - When this option is checked, the user can configure the Custom Alarm Device Status property for modules set to be Supervisory (Latching) or Tamper Alert (Tracking); all other properties for all other module types are view only. Status assignments are on a point-by-point basis. User defined status is supported for Off-Normal Alarm conditions only and is limited to those found in the UniNet mststat.
Upload Database - Standard Windows File Selection dialog box; this command will upload the database from the NION software application to the AFP-300/400 panel. This database determines which devices the NION will translate. Download Database - Standard Windows File Selection dialog box; this command will download the database from the panel to the NION software application.
A Appendix A: The AFP-300/400 Database Conversion Utility For UniNet™ versions 2.1 SP2 or later, when upgrading an AFP-300/400 NION from the NION-232B architecTANT ork ture to the AFP-300/400 NION architecture, the 400DBConvert utility must be run. IMPOR IMPORT ANT:: The W Work ork-station cannot be running during this conversion process. The conversion utility will alter existing device IDs in the screen database to match the new format used by this NION ogic NION..
2. When the utility is running, the resulting window will walk you through the conversion process. It is recommended that the you perform the upgrade using the default file path for the screen.mdb file specified in the Database to convert field. Click on Next to continue, or Cancel to abort the upgrade process. Figure A-2: The Database Upgrade File Path Document 51996 AFP-300/400 NION Installation Rev. A1 03/04/03 www.PDF-Zoo.com firealarmresources.
3. Check the Backup screen database option if you wish to create a backup copy of the old screen database file. The backup will be saved as “screen.bak” and will be located in the same directory where the utility was run. This directory will normally be c:UniNet\PlugIns\screen.bak. Select the name of the site you wish to convert by choosing from the drop-down list. In the Select node to convert list, only NION-232 PCB board 300/400 nodes will be displayed as options for upgrading.
