1-14.1.2 REMOTE DISPLAY CONTROL MODULE (RDCM)
The Remote Display Control Module (RDCM) is a separate unit which is housed in the Remote
Enclosure. The RDCM permits system events to be displayed, and operator intervention to be
accomplished, from more than one location in a facility. The RDCM is a duplicate of the FenwalNET
8000-ML’s keypad/display and allows full operator intervention and system control. The RDCM
includes a protected LCD display, keypad, buzzer, five system status LEDs and four user-
programmable “soft” keys (used to invoke preprogrammed system operations). The unit interfaces
with the Main Controller Board via an RS485 communications bus. A synchronization signal output
allows expansion of up to 15 RDCM units.
Refer to Section 1-8 for detailed information on the features of the keypad/display.
