12.1 OVERVIEW
Important! All System 3505 units are shipped with options preset to conform to ANSI UL 864.
The user may elect to make changes to Network settings that may not conform to that standard.
These changes are as follows: The SYSTEM 3505 is shipped with O/S capability limited at a
slave unit to only impact the Slave System 3505. The user can elect to activate a capability to
allow a Slave System 3505 to take an account O/S at the master as well as at all the Slave units in
a Networked System; this change may not conform to the ANSI UL 864 standard.
The Network Option 7 SET menu allows the user to cause an ACK to be routed to the other
System 3505 units for remote ACKnowledge. The default settings are for the Manual ACK not
to be routed to the netowrk or impact the Remote Annuciator ACK selection. An ACK from the
Remote Annunciator unit, or simply transferring an account from the System 3505 to the
Remote Annunciator to not ACK anything. The user can overrided thise settings and select to
ACK the local 3505 on good transfer of an account to the Remote Annunciator or ACK the
System 3505 if the operator ACKs the RA, or to send any of these ACK signals on the network to
allow selection of processing the ACK at another System 3505. This includes selections within
the SET menus 29 and 34. Changes to the default settings may not conform to the ANSI/UL
864 standard.
Network application allows up to 99 SYSTEM 3505 units to share alarm information. Any
SYSTEM 3505 is designated the MASTER; all other units are designated SLAVE. All points,
(digital dialers, EOL, RPI, etc...) send alarm information (ALARM, TROUBLE, SECURE) to
the MASTER. The information is then shared by all the SLAVE SYSTEM 3505 units. The user
can elect to filter out unwanted alarm responses at specific slaves. In addition to sharing alarm
information, all SLAVES can be synchronized to the master unit time clock. The current
System 3505 software no longer supports connection to System 3505 or System 3505 units in
the same network. IMPORTANT! All SYSTEM 3505 units in a network must have the same
program revision. The standard unit Configurator card is the RS 485, however, other protocols
(fiber optic, audio, radio polling) are available.
The Network option is available in two formats:
1. Network option Single line out
2. Network option W/32 line driver rack, which can be further broken down to:
a. Style “3/6” line driver card
b. Dual line driver cards
The first option provides for a single configurator card on the rear of the SYSTEM 3505 to
communicate with all SYSTEM 3505 on the same data highway, which can include RS-485,
Fiber, Audio, RS-232 (connected to some other device) or Ethernet. This option is only
available in Style 3 communications to one or more slave units. This method is less expensive;
however it does not provide isolation to the Slave units as does the option with the 32-line
driver rack
The second option requires the use of a 32 line driver rack, and one or more 3505 units can be
communicated to over the various mix and match protocols line driver cards utilizing style 3/6
communications. This method provides isolation between the Slave units if they are connected
to individual line driver cards.
