Notifier RPT-WF is the wire/fiber converter version of the NOTI•FIRE•NET RPT Series repeater. An RPT repeater is a single PC board used to extend the transmission distance of a NOTI•FIRE•NET network, or to change the network media type between wire and fiber. The RPT-WF takes a wire channel in and sends it out on fiber, or the reverse.
The repeater requires 24 VDC. It mounts in the ABS-8R surface box, or in a CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series cabinet using one slot of a CHS-4 or CHS-4L chassis. NOTI•FIRE•NET supports NFPA Style 4 or Style 7 network operation, and every node reshapes and regenerates the data signal, so the failure of one node does not stop communication among the others.
