BACnet Gateway
General
The BACnet Gateway provides an interface between NOTI-
FIER’s fire panel network NOTI•FIRE•NET™ (version 4.0 and
higher) and a network using the BACnet/IP communication pro-
tocol. BACnet protocol is an American National Standard (ANSI/
ASHRAE 135-1995). With the Gateway interface, devices on
NOTI•FIRE•NET fire alarm control panels are represented as
BACnet objects to the BACnet client. The user subscribes to
Event Notification objects per FACP, and the BACnet device
receives events from objects on the FACP as a result of this
subscription.
The BACnet Gateway can be connected to a stand-alone
ONYX® panel with an available network port, or it can be con-
nect to NOTI•FIRE•NET via the network port on any NCM-W/-F.
Connected to NOTI•FIRE•NET, each BACnet Gateway can sup-
port 15 nodes maximum or 15,000 objects. Multiple BACnet
Gateways can be used to interface with larger networks.
Features
• Compatible with ONYX Series panels: NFS2-3030, NFS2-
640, NFS-320, NFS-3030, NFS-640.
• Compatible with NOTI•FIRE•NET devices: NFS2-3030,
NFS2-640, NFS-320, NCA-2, DVC, and ONYXWorks™;
NFS-3030, NFS-640, NCA, and AFP1010/AM2020; NCS..
• The BACnet Gateway can monitor up to fifteen
NOTI•FIRE•NET panels with a maximum combined object
count of 15,000 (object count includes all detectors, monitor
modules, notification appliance circuits, etc.).
• Multiple BACnet Gateways can be used for large (more than
15 nodes) networks.
• PC programmable using the BACnet Gateway Serial Configu-
ration Tool, an offline programming utility used to configure the
BACnet Gateway. The Serial Configuration Tool is used on a
compatible computer that is using Windows® 2000, 98, NT
version 4.0, XP, or later OS; and has an available (non-dedi-
cated) serial port for communicating with the BACnet Gate-
way.
• The NOTIFIER BACnet Gateway can behave as a foreign
device when communicating with a third-party BBMD (BAC-
net Broadcast Management Devices).
Specifications
• Complies with: UL 864 9th Edition, UL Standard 864; and
CAN/ULC-S527-M99 Standard for Control Units for Fire
Alarm Systems.
• Complies with NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.
• Conforms to BACnet Standard Annex J for IP and Support
Device Objects, Binary Output Objects, Life Safety Points/
Zones, and Multi-State Inputs.
• Power supply: 24 VDC to 5 VDC. Input voltage range is 19
VDC to 29 VDC. Input current is 360 mA @ 24 VDC. Output
current is 1.2 A @ 5 VDC.
• Operating temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C).
Connections
• The BACnet Gateway is connected to NOTI•FIRE•NET via
the network port on the NCM-W/-F to the EIA-232 serial port
on the Gateway (uses the network to DB9 cable, P/N 75582).

BACnet Gateway
Board
• BACnet Gateway is connected to the BACnet front end via a
standard RJ45 Ethernet connector (CN2).
• The BACnet Gateway assembly installs in one row of a
CAB-3 or CAB-4 Series cabinet using a CHS-4 or CHS-4L
chassis. The BACnet Gateway, power supply, and PNET-1
surge suppressor are installed on a BACnet Gateway/Power
Supply Mounting Plate (P/N 18541), which takes up two
module positions.
• The PNET-1 surge suppressor is connected to the BACnet
Ethernet via a RJ45 Ethernet connector.
NOTE: See diagram of components on mounting plate on page 2.
