Introduction
The NION-Simplex 4010 is a plug-in component of the UniNet™ 2000 Workstation. It allows a workstation to
view events and other data originating from a Simplex 4010 panel.
UniNet™ consists of graphical workstations monitoring and controlling, local or remote twisted pair or fiber optic
networks. Remote network monitoring is achieved through the use of a Building Communications Interface (BCI).
A twisted pair network topology (FT-10) may be a maximum length of 6000 feet per network segment with no T-
taps, allowing communications between 64 nodes in each segment. In addition FT-10 allows dedicated runs of
8000 feet point-to-point or multiple T-taps within 1500 feet of any other node on the segment. Fiber optic cable is
another option and can be configured in either a bus or ring topology. The network has a maximum system
capacity of 200 nodes. The network is supervised for shorts, opens, and node failures, as dictated in Style 4, 6 and
7 wiring.
The network power is 24 VDC nominal and receives operating power from a power limited, filtered source listed for
use with fire protective signaling units.
