AFP Network Driver Card (AFP711)

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.
