SLE-MAX2-CFB - Napco StarLink Commercial Fire Dual-Path IP/Cellular and Dual-SIM AT&T/Verizon Alarm Communicator in Metal Enclosure with Direct AC Power (Compatible with Most Panels)
Napco SLE-MAX2-CFB Product Description:
The Napco SLE-MAX2-CFB Sole/Dual-Path Alarm Communicator with power supply, in metal enclosure, is specifically designed to interface with FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panels) and comply with UL 864 10th edition. The SLE-MAX2-CFB operates on both the Verizon and AT&T cellular networks and utilizes CAT-M1 technology. This device supports both Sole Path, cellular only; Traditional Dual Path, cellular and IP; and Super Dual Supervised Dual Carrier and Dual Path communication methods. Super Dual exclusive to NAPCO, is a UL 864 10th edition Certified fire communication service that allows the communicator to utilize two cellular carriers to provide dual path reporting. This is accomplished through the supervision of each carrier at the required NFPA intervals, i.e., 6 Hour supervision for NFPA 2013 through 2022.
For Dual Path cellular/IP reporting, the system can communicate via an on-board Ethernet jack or via Wi-Fi using the optional UL 864 Certified SLE-WIFI-MODULE. The communication mode (Sole Path or Dual Path) requires selection of the appropriate service plan at the point of communicator activation. The communicator is equipped with two form "C" dry relays, one for a trouble output and one for an auxiliary output. The unit is also equipped with four EOLR supervised inputs to report a Fire Alarm, a Fire Trouble, a Water Flow Alarm and a Supervisory Alarm, each triggered from the N/O and Common terminals of the associated FACP output relays. This communicator is for use as the primary means of communication with the central station and do not have backup mode capability. This communicator can also be utilized as a Sole Path Cell communicator. No POTS (Telco Line) connection is permitted. For Commercial Burglary installations, under the armed condition, any loss of communication must be treated as a Burglary Alarm at the central station.
For connection to the FACP DACT, the SLE-MAX2-CFB provides two RJ-45 Telco connections to satisfy the FACP telephone requirements. The primary Telco connector can be supervised and can report a trouble signal to the central station upon any open or short on the primary Telco wires that prevents reporting. The secondary telephone line is supervised by the FACP; when a line fault is detected, a signal trouble is reported to the central station through the primary telephone line. The SLE-MAX2-CFB is compatible with most 12VDC or 24VDC alarm control panels (always adhere to the documentation provided by the control panel manufacturer). Mount to a single-, dual-, or three-gang electrical box and route the wires through the back knock-out(s), or as specified by local codes.
