Information About 4-NET-TP
The 4-NET-TP is one of a series of SFP network controllers used in EST4 fire alarm and life safety systems. Each controller supports a specific media type, with the 4-NET-TP designed for copper twisted-pair connectivity. Installed into an SFP slot of the 4-CPU, 4-ANNCPU, 4-CPUGRPH, or 4-NET-AD modules, it enables long-distance panel-to-panel communication and integration of detection, notification, and voice functions. The unit is supervised for faults such as opens, shorts, or ground errors, ensuring reliable operation. Its modular, plug-in design allows simple upgrades or changes to system architecture, making it suitable for large-scale buildings and campus-wide safety networks.
Key Features:
- Twisted-Pair Communication: Provides audio and data transmission over standard copper wiring.
- EST4 Compatibility: Plugs into CPU, annunciator, graphic, and network adapter modules.
- Full Audio Support: Handles live paging, recorded messages, and firefighter telephones.
- Command and Control: Transmits all system commands across the life safety network.
- Fault Supervision: Monitors for opens, shorts, and ground faults for reliable operation.
- Hot-Swappable: Can be replaced or upgraded without powering down the panel.
- Long-Distance Coverage: Copper runs extend nearly a mile between nodes.
- High Capacity: Supports integration into networks with up to 200,000 addressable devices.
- Scalable System Design: Enables flexible expansion for large buildings or campuses.
- Compact SFP Form Factor: Saves panel space while providing advanced networking features.
The 4-NET-TP delivers dependable, scalable networking for EST4 fire and life safety systems.
