AFP Network Driver Card (AFP711)

Description

• 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.

Additional information

Additional Information	• 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 Features	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.
