Syncro Module

   Syncro Networking  

• The flexibility of the Syncro system can be further enhanced by connecting control panels and repeaters together using a high integrity network.  

• A simple 2-wire connection between each panel allows events to be transmitted to other parts of the system to provide indication or control on a system wide basis.  

• Using the Loop Explorer configuration programme, up to 64 nodes can be programmed to respond in a variety of ways to any system events as required.  

• This flexibility extends the comprehensive cause and effect programming capability of Syncro control panels to the entire network allowing actions, test modes or disablements to be started from any point.  

• The fault tolerance of the network is such that any single open or short circuit fault will not result in any loss of information. Multiple faults are isolated and the network breaks into smaller networks which continue to work autonomously.  

Communications Module (Modem)  

• The K556 communications module enables service companies to interrogate control panels remotely via a telephone link.  

• The communications module is simple to install and requires a PSTN telephone line.  

• The module mounts on existing pillars in the control panel and is supplied with all wiring and connections to enable speedy installation and commissioning.  

• Once connected to the control panel via the Loop Explorer software, users can upload configuration data and event logs or take control of the system via the virtual panel interface. This allows the panel controls to be operated as if the user was standing at the panel. 

• The Loop Explorer configuration programme (version 3.0 or higher) is used to dial into control panels but the dial up facility will not be available unless the PC calling the control panel is fitted with a registered dongle (part number B2158 for parallel port or B2158USB for USB version).
