General

The NOTIFIER NCA-2 is a second-generation Network Con-
trol Annunciator for the

NOTI•FIRE•NET™ network, com-

patible for use with ONYX® Series nodes such as the NFS2-
3030, NFS-3030, NFS-320, NFS-640 and NFS2-640 fire
alarm control panels, as well as first-generation NCA Net-
work Control Annunciators. Additionally, the NCA-2 may be
configured with DVC Series products to create one or more
Digital Audio Command Centers on NOTI•FIRE•NET™. The
NCA-2 provides system control and display capabilities for
all, or for selected network nodes.

The NCA-2 display consists of a 640-character backlit LCD
display, and a control interface consisting of “soft” keys used
to navigate screen menus, “hard” keys with fixed control func-
tions, and a QWERTY keypad.

When connected to one or more networked panels the
NCA-2 provides network control and status/history display
capabilities. It may also be configured as the Primary Display
for displayless nodes on the network.
