Overview
The Velocity Network Module can monitor, indicate and control the functions of a fire alarm installation remotely and share data around a large site. The network can accommodate up to 64 nodes and uses RS485 data communication. The Velocity Network supports upto 10km of cable length and all panels will continue to function in stand-alone mode if the network fails.
When running in a network, all events are reported to all Velocity MMP panels and all panels can remotely program the other panels on the network.
Approvals
All components in the Velocity range are UL certified and comply with the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 864 Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems 10th Edition.
