2.2 FIRElink-400CM Command Module Detector &
FIRElink-CM Stand Alone Command Module
When multiple detectors are networked
together, a Command Module may be used
to tie all the detectors together and to
provide a central point for programming,
running diagnostics and PC and fire panel
connection.
The Command Module can be mounted
either inside a detector as shown or as a
stand-alone unit in its own housing without
an aspirator or smoke detection circuitry.
If detectors attached to the Command
Module are mounted in different fire zones
then the Command Module must be
mounted in its own housing with separate
power supply to comply with BS5839 and
EN54.
When a Command Module is mounted inside a detector, the Standard Detector display is replaced with a
dedicated Command Module display. The programming buttons and display on the front of the detector
belong to the Command Module.
Programming from the Command Module is very similar to programming a detector, the main difference
being that the Command Module has extra functions to control all the FIRElink-400 detectors connected
to the detector loop.
