Notifier HS-NCM-W is a High-Speed Network Communications Module with a twisted-pair wire interface. HS-NCM modules connect Notifier fire alarm control panels, network control displays and annunciators, and DVC digital voice command to High-Speed NOTI-FIRE-NET.
Each HS-NCM can serve up to two node addresses, so one module can provide network communication for both a panel and a display. When it is not connected to a panel, it defaults to repeater mode and can boost signal distance or pass data between differently configured network segments.

FAQ
What does the HS-NCM-W connect to?
High-Speed NOTI-FIRE-NET, linking Notifier panels, NCD, NCA and NCA-2 displays and annunciators, and DVC digital voice command.
How many nodes can one module serve?
Up to two node addresses, for example a panel and an NCD.
Can it work as a repeater?
Yes. When not connected to a fire alarm panel it defaults to repeater mode.
Is there a newer version?
Notifier's current data sheet DN-60454 lists the HS-NCM-W-2 as the twisted-pair wire model.
