3-FIBMB2 Fiber Optic Interface Module
Installation Sheet
Description
Typical application installation
This document describes how to install the 3-FIBMB2 fiber

optic interface module for typical applications and special
applications.
Installing the 3-FIBMB2 module for a typical installation

consists of the following steps:
The 3-FIBMB2 gives a fire panel the ability to network with

fiber optic cable. Both Class B and Class A connections are
supported.
The 3-FIBMB2 module consists of an adapter card and
electronics card, and supports the following fiber optic
transceivers.

WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or

death from electrocution, remove all sources of power and
allow stored energy to discharge before installing or removing
equipment.
Caution: Circuit boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). To avoid damage, follow ESD handling procedures.
Step 1: Installing the adapter card
1.
Connect the ribbon cable (P/N 250222) to J2 on the

adapter card (see Figure 1 below, items 1 and 2). Use the
cable end that allows it to exit at a right angle.
2.
Plug the adapter card into J2 on the CPU.
3.
Secure the card using the nylon screw provided.
4.
Route the ribbon cable to the bottom of the chassis.
[1] Not backward compatible with the 3-FIBMB
The 3-FIBMB2 provides terminals for connecting a 24 VDC

backup power source to maintain data transmissions in the
event the panel is powered down.
Application notes
A 3-FIBMB2 using SMXLO2 and SMXHI2 single mode

fiber transceivers is not backward compatible with the
3-FIBMB.
In a multimode fiber application, the 3-FIBMB and

3-FIBMB2 are fully backward compatible when using a
MMXVR transceiver.
For service replacement and network expansion in an

existing single mode fiber application, all or some of the
3-FIBMB electronics cards may need to be replaced with
3-FIBMB2 electronics cards. See Special applications
installation on page 3.

Step 2: Installing the transceivers

Note: Any combination of transceivers can be mounted in any
of the four positions on the electronics card.
Figure 3: Installing the 3-FIBMB2 electronics card in a 3-CAB5 or

3-CHAS7
To install the transceivers:

1.
For each transceiver required, align its mounting studs

and plug with the position holes and socket on the
electronics card. See Figure 2.
2.
Snap each transceiver into place. Do not put excessive

pressure on a transceiver when installing it.
Figure 2: Installing the transceivers on the electronics card
Step 3: Installing the electronics card

The 3-FIBMB2 electronics card can be mounted in a 3-CAB5,
3-CHAS7, or, when used in standalone and 3-FIBMB
conversion applications, an MFC-A enclosure.
Note: When using an MFC-A enclosure, the enclosure must be
installed no farther than 3 ft. (with conduit) in the same room as
the control panel.
To install the electronics card in a 3-CAB5 or 3-CHAS7:
1.
Connect the loose end of the ribbon cable to J1 on the

back of the 3-FIBMB2 electronics card. See Figure 3,
items 3 and 5.
2.
Snap the electronics card (item 3) on the 3-MPFIB

mounting bracket studs (item 4).
3.
Place JP2 (item 6) in the NORMAL position.
4.
Mount the 3-MPFIB bracket on the mounting studs located

on the right side and behind the rails (item 7) of the
3-CAB5 backbox (item 1) or 3-CHAS7 back plate (item 2).

To install the electronics card in an MFC-A enclosure:

1.
Insert two #6-32 1/2 in. standoffs included with the MFC-A
enclosure into the selected mounting holes. See Figure 4,
item 4. You can select any two parallel mounting holes.
2.
Snap the electronics card on the 3-MPFIB mounting

bracket studs.
3.
Place JP2 on the electronics card in the NORMAL

position.
4.
Mount the 3-MPFIB bracket on the standoffs.

7.
For a multinode, single mode fiber application, repeat step

1 to step 6 for all nodes in a Class A configuration or refer
to Figure 13 on page 7 to create a bridge. For a Class B
configuration, repeat the steps in all nodes unless a
copper or multimode separation exists between nodes. In
this case, no replacement is required beyond that point.
Network expansions
When adding a new node to an existing multinode, single
mode fiber application, there are two options for upgrading to
the 3-FIBMB2:
1.
Replace all 3-FIBMB electronics cards in the single mode

fiber application with 3-FIBMB2 cards. After replacing the
electronics card you can reuse existing SMXLO and
SMXHI transceivers or install new SMXLO2 and SMXHI2
transceivers.
For this option, in a Class B application replace the
3-FIBMB electronics card with a 3-FIBMB2 electronics
card in all nodes unless a copper or multimode separation
exists. If a separation exists between nodes, no
replacement is required from that point forward.

Service replacements
For a 3-CAB7, 3-CAB14, or 3-CAB21 enclosure using

Class B wiring, install a 3-FIBMB2 electronics card in the
enclosure to create a bridge with the existing 3-FIBMB.
The bridge uses a combination of single mode and
multimode transceivers in both electronics cards to cause
a separation in the single mode application. In this
configuration, the 3-FIBMB2 electronics card is powered
by connecting to 24 VDC from the PSMON and is not
connected to the 3-CPU.
To add a new node to an existing single mode fiber network

and replace all 3-FIBMB electronics cards:
For a multinode, single mode fiber, Class B application,

replace the 3-FIBMB electronics card with a 3-FIBMB2
electronics card in all nodes unless a copper or multimode
separation exists. If a separation exists between nodes, no
replacement is required from that point forward. After replacing
the electronics card, you can reuse the existing SMXLO and
SMXHI transceivers.
1.
For the new node, install the 3-FIBMB2 module as

described in Typical application installation on page 1.
2.
For existing nodes, disconnect the wiring from the

transceivers on the 3-FIBMB electronics card.
3.
Remove the 3-FIBMB from the 3-MPFIB mounting bracket

and disconnect the ribbon cable.
To replace failed SMXLO and SMXHI transceivers:
4.
Connect the ribbon cable to J1 on the back of the

replacement 3-FIBMB2 electronics card.
5.
Reinstall the SMXLO and SMXHI transceivers or replace

them with new SMXLO2 and SMXHI2 transceivers. See
Figure 2 on page 2.
6.
Snap the 3-FIBMB2 electronics card on the 3-MPFIB

mounting bracket studs. See Figure 3 on page 2.
7.
For a multinode, single mode fiber application, repeat step

1 to step 6 for all nodes in a Class A configuration. For a
Class B configuration, repeat the steps in all nodes unless
a copper or multimode separation exists between nodes.
In this case, no replacement is required beyond that point.
1.
Disconnect the wiring from the transceivers on the

3-FIBMB electronics card.
2.
Remove the 3-FIBMB from the 3-MPFIB mounting bracket

and disconnect the ribbon cable.
3.
Remove all transceivers from the card, discarding the

failed ones.
4.
Connect the ribbon cable to J1 on the back of a

3-FIBMB2 electronics card.
5.
Replace the failed transceivers with new

SMXLO2/SMXHI2 transceivers. You can reuse the
functioning SMXLO/SMXHI transceivers on the new
3-FIBMB2 electronics card. See Figure 2 on page 2.
6.
Snap the 3-FIBMB2 electronics card on the 3-MPFIB

mounting bracket studs. See Figure 3 on page 2.

5.
On the 3-FIBMB2, install an SMXLO2/SMXHI2 single

mode transceiver in the A data slot and, if using audio, in
the B audio slot (item 3).
6.
On the existing 3-FIBMB card (item 5) on the chassis in

the enclosure, disconnect the wiring from the A data and
B audio SMXLO/SMXHI single mode transceivers and
replace them with MMXVR multimode transceivers (item
6).

Notes
4 of 10
When using an SMXHI or SMXHI2 transceiver, if fiber

attenuation is less than 8 dBm between panels, then an
attenuator must be used to reduce the level of the
received signal.
The 3-FIBMB2 transmitters are eye-safe laser IEC

825/CDRH Class 1 compliant.

When powering the 3-FIBMB2 by battery, the battery size

must support the specific field configuration for the
duration of the service procedure. Example: The
3-FIBMB2 plus two SMXHI2 transceivers for 24 hours
would require a 5.04 Ah battery: (90 + (2 x 60)) mA x 24hr
= 5.04 Ah.

Wiring to an alternate DC power supply

The 3-FIBMB2 provides terminals for connecting to an
alternate DC power supply. This allows communication to
continue through the module when panel power is
