Overview NCA-2 Components
LDM-32 and LDM-R32. The Lamp Driver Annunciator Module-32 provides 32 alarms or 16 alarm and 16 trouble lamp driver outputs,
corresponding to 32 annunciator points that can be connected to external devices like custom graphic annunciators. The Lamp Driver
Annunciator Module expander module expands the LDM-32 by 32 annunciator points, for a maximum of 64 points.
SCS-8 and SCE-8. The Smoke Control Station (SCS-8) module uses eight groups of four annunciator points for fan shutdown control
or other heating, ventilation or air conditioning functions. The Smoke Control Expander (SCE-8) module expands the SCS-8 by eight
groups of four annunciator points.
SCS-8L and SCE-8L. The Smoke Control Lamp Driver Station (SCS-8L) module uses eight groups of four annunciator points for fan
shutdown control or other heating, ventilation or air conditioning functions. The SCS-8L must be mounted in a custom graphic annunci-
ator panel. The Smoke Control Expander (SCE-8L) is used to expand the SCS-8L by eight groups of four annunciator points.
UDACT and UDACT-2. The Universal Digital Alarm Communicator/Transmitters transmit system status to UL listed Central Station
Receivers via the public switched telephone network.
TM-4. The Transmitter Module provides a means for an FACP to control Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory reverse polarity outputs
(15mA, 24VDC nominal) or a Fire Municipal Box Trip output. All output circuits are supervised. The TM-4 mounts easily in standard
module locations within the cabinet or external boxes. Refer to the Transmitter Module TM-4 installation document for further informa-
tion and installation instructions.
2.6.4 Other Optional Devices
NCM-W and NCM-F. The network communications module provides a means for connecting specific control panels to a standard
NOTI•FIRE•NET™. There are two types of network communications modules available: NCM-W for connecting nodes with twisted
pair wire and NCM-F for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cable. A network communications module is required when networking the
NCA-2.
HS-NCM-W/MF/SF/WMF/WSF/MFSF. A high-speed network communications module provides a means for connecting specific
control panels to a high-speed network. There are two categories of modules available for this purpose: wire versions for connecting
nodes with twisted-pair wire, and fiber versions for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cable. A network communications module is
required for networking the NCA-2. High-speed modules may also be used as network repeaters, extending the communication distance
between nodes on a high-speed network.

Tools . VeriFire
®
Tools is an off-line programming and test utility that is Windows® based. The installer can create the pro-
gram for a control panel from any PC running the VeriFire
®
Tools software, test the program, store a backup file, then bring it to the site
and download from a laptop into the panel. VeriFire

Tools can also be used to create a custom graphic for the main screen of the NCA-
2.
NCS Network Control Station. The NCS is a PC application with text and graphics display capability of all network events and points.
It is compatible with release 5.0 and higher of a standard NOTI•FIRE•NET™ system.
ONYXWorks Workstation. This workstation provides a PC-based graphical interface for monitoring and controlling activity of multi-
ple nodes on a network. It allows the user to program network nodes, display network information, and display the network in desirable
groups of nodes. Compatible with standard and high-speed networks.
LCD-160 Display. The LCD-160 is a remote display that can mimic the top half of the panel’s display, or display custom messages or
graphics. It has the capability to store character sets for multiple languages.
LCD-80 Display. The LCD-80 is a remote alphanumeric display module that, when set to terminal mode, operates as a simplified ver-
sion of this panel’s display, with Acknowledge, Signal Silence, and Reset.
LCD2-80 Display. The LCD-80 is a remote alphanumeric display module that operates as a simplified version of this panel’s display,
with Acknowledge, Signal Silence, Reset, Drill, and Lamp Test.
UZC-256. The Universal Zone Coder is a circuit board, used for NAC coding applications, that provides three NAC output circuits and
up to 256 zone codes. Refer to the UZC-256 Universal Zone Coder and UZC-256 Programming manuals for further information and
installation instructions.
STS-1. A Security Tamper Switch can be connected to the NCA-2 and installed in its cabinet (e.g., CAB-4 series backbox). The STS-1
can then be used to monitor the door and indicate a door tamper condition whenever the door is opened.
RKS-1. The Remote Key Switch provides external access security for the control switches on the NCA-2.
AKS-1B. The Annunciator Keyswitch enables/disables the NCA-2 keypad.
NOTE: For details on any of the above annunciator modules, refer to the appropriate manual.
