NION-2C8M Normally Closed Supervised PID
This document covers the procedures and specifications for installing the above listed unit and when appropriate, information regarding configuration on the monitored device. For more detailed configuration and operation information, refer to Network Installation Manual, Echelon Local Area Server Manual, or BCI 3 Manual as appropriate.
Description of the NION-2C8M
The NION-2C8M (2 Control, 8 Monitor) is a discrete input/output interface used
on the network. All of the system components are based on LonWorks (Local
Operating Network) technologies. The NION-2C8M provides a gateway to the
network for equipment and control panels that have dry contacts.
The NION-2C8M connects a LonWorks FT-10 or FO-10 network, and discrete
monitored devices and conventional control panels. It provides a single, two-
way communication channel for discrete inputs and outputs when connected to a
control panel. NIONs are specific to the type of network to which they connect
(FT-10 or FO-10). The transceiver type must be specified and ordered
separately when ordering the NION. The NION-2C8M can be powered by any 24VDC
power limited source ith battery backup which is UL listed for use with fire
protective signaling units. Power must be supervised or placed within 20 ft of
the NION with connections run in conduit. The NION-2C8M mounts in an enclosure
(NIS CAB-1 or CHS-4L in CAB-3 series enclosure) with conduit knockouts.
NOTE: DO NOT change the factory default jumper settings from what is
shown in the above diagram.

Installation Description
The NION-2C8M can be installed in the following environmental conditions:
- Temperature range of 0ºC to 49ºC (32°F – 120°F).
- 93% humidity non-condensing at 30ºC (86°F).
NOTE: Use only wire for power limited systems. Power limited wire runs
use type FPLR, FPLP, FPL or equivalent cabling per NEC 760.
Mounting
The NION-2C8M is designed to be installed on a wall within 20 feet of the
monitored equipment in the same room. The type of hardware used is at the
discretion of the installer, but must be in accordance with local code
requirements.
NION Power Requirements
The NION-2C8M requires 24 VDC @ 0.10 A nominal and battery backup in
accordance with local code requirements. It can be powered by any power
limited 24 VDC source which is UL or ULC listed, as appropriate for your area,
for use with fire protective signaling units.
NOTE: Always remove power from the NION before making any changes to
switch settings and removing or installing option modules, SMX network modules
and software upgrade chips. Damage may result if changes like this are made
without powering down the NION first.
NION-2C8M LEDs
Four LEDs on the front panel of the NION-2C8M provide information about module
operation. The table below explains the possible conditions.
NOTE: Refer to the NION-2C8M Board Layout diagram on the previous page
for the position of each of the LEDs listed below.
| LED | Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Green | This LED provides information on network communication and node |
binding by one of the three modes listed below:
Flashing slow – NION is functioning normally.
Flashing fast – NION is bound but encountering communication problems.
Unbound| Yellow| This LED provides information on node binding by one of the
three modes listed below:
Off – NION is bound. Flashing – NION is not bound (Status LED is off).
Solid – Unrecoverable error; code is not running.
Output| Red| Solid – an output has been energized.
Input| Red| Solid – an input is active.
NION-2C8M LED Status Information
I/O Configuration and Connections
Inputs
The NION-2C8M accepts eight normally open or normally closed dry contact
inputs. Each input is monitored by an end-of-line resistor. These inputs are
wired to a 16 point plug-in terminal strip in the following pattern:
| Input 1 – | Input 8 – |
|---|---|
| point 1 = input line through | point 15 = input line |
| point 2 = common | point 16 = common |
The PCB is labeled and the terminals are numbered for convenience. Inputs are
rated for 18V nominal, 1.8mA maximum current and 2,000 ohm maximum resistance.
Each input circuit requires a 10k EOL resistor installed in parallel with the
contact.
Each input is configured as NO/NC from the plug-in application.
NOTE: Jumpers JP4-JP11 should be left in factory default setting as shown
to the left.
Disregard silk screen below output LED.
Each input has a pair of diagnostic LEDs. For Normally Open (NO) contacts, the
Red LED is ON when the point is in alarm, and OFF when the point is normal.
For Normally Closed (NC) contacts, the Red LED is OFF when the point is in
alarm, and ON when the point is normal. The Yellow LED is ON only when the
point is in Trouble (open circuit).
Outputs
The NION-2C8M provides two SPDT relay outputs. The relays are rated at 5A @
30VDC. They can be wired for normally open or normally closed operation. All
rated loads are resistive. Inductive and tungsten loads will be lower.
NOTE: Input and output lines should not exceed 2000ft.
General Configuration
In order to utilize all features available with the NION-2C8M, the 2C8M
Scheduling Plug-In utility must be configured at the system workstations. Each
Plug-In is described in detail in the Product Installation Description shipped
with each
NION. General Plug-In setup information can be found in the appendix of the
workstation manual.
