Notifier LCD-160 640-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) annunciator and remote control for the NOTIFIER NFS-3030/NFS2-3030 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
The LCD-160 will mimic the top portion (160 characters) of the NFS-3030/ NFS2-3030’s 640-character display. This provides the event and preprogrammed custom messages as displayed on the main panel. The full screen contains soft key functions, and can display other panel information.
LCD-160 Features
• 640-character Liquid Crystal Display with backlit control.
• On-board input, output, and status indicators to support diagnostics.
• Software upgrades and foreign-languages character sets via serial port from a panel or other device using the Remote Data Port (RDP) interface. Upgrades do not require the replacement of any programmable devices.
• Rubberized keypad.
• Input for AKS-1B key switch.
• Fits in two ACS annunciator module locations.
• Display and Control Center (DCC) participation/indication.
RDP Interface
Any communication between the control panel and any RDP device, such as the LCD-160, occurs over an RDP interface.
• RDP interface communication is supervised by the FACP and the LCD-160.
• RDP bus can drive up to 32 RDP devices. The FACP must be at one end of the bus; the last RDP device on the circuit must have an enabled end-of-line resistor.
• Each LCD-160 on the bus requires a non-resettable 24 VDC power connection. The power circuit is inherently supervised and a loss of power registers as a communication failure at the control panel.
• The LCD-160 can be powered by a regulated remote power supply listed for fire-protective signaling use. If the 24 VDC power comes from a non-power-limited source, it must remain separate from the power-limited RDP bus.
Specifications
Input supply voltage (TB2): Regulated, filtered 24 VDC via non-resettable power supply interface listed for fire-protective signaling use. Sources can be: panels with integrated power supplies, main power supplies (AMPS-24, etc.), auxiliary power supplies (APS2-6R, etc.); or a compatible accessories output. If RDP devices are to be powered by separate power supplies, a common reference connection must be established.
Data communications port (TB1): Power-limited RDP interface.
Current draw: Standby current: 0.300 A with backlight on, 0.075 A with backlight off. Alarm current: 0.325 A with backlight on, all LEDs active.
