Description of the NION-48M

Similar in function to the NION-2C8M, the NION-48M is a discrete input interface used on the network. All of the system components are based on LonWorks™ (Local Operating Network) technologies. The NION-48M provides a gateway to the network for discrete monitored devices, equipment and control panels that have dry contacts. It allows discrete devices to operate on the same network as equipment with an EIA-232 output.
The NION-48M connects a LonWorks™ FT-10 or FO-10 network with discrete monitored devices and conventional control panels. It provides a single, two- way communication channel for discrete inputs. 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-48M can be powered by any 24VDC power limited source with battery backup which is UL listed for use with fire protective signaling units however, this unit does include an MPS24B power supply. Power must be supervised or placed within 20 ft of the NION with connections run in conduit.

The NION-48M mounts in an enclosure (NIS CAB-3) with conduit knockouts. It cannot be rack mounted.

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 chipsor damage may result

Input Configuration

Inputs can be configured for two-state unsupervised or four-state supervised operation. In addition, 8 inputs (21 – 24, 45 – 48) can be configured to monitor switched voltage inputs. These configuration settings are made with jumpers on the 48M motherboard. These jumpers are grouped in an area beneath the terminal boards.

Input Configuration Jumpers

NOTES: Two-state, unsupervised inputs cannot be used for fire applications.
All input jumpers are arranged left to right, top to bottom.

Discrete Only Inputs (1 – 20, 25 – 44)

Inputs one through 20 and 25 through 44 can be configured as either two-state or four state discrete inputs. To define the input type, a single jumper is set for each input. The diagram above displays the location of these jumpers and the following table describes which jumper applies each input.

To configure an input for two-state unsupervised operation place the associated jumper across pins one and two (left and center). For four-state supervised operation, place the jumper across pins two and three (center and right).

Discrete or Switched Voltage Inputs (21 – 24 and 45 – 48)
Inputs 21 through 24 and 45 through 48 can be configured to operate as discrete, two state unsupervised or fourstate supervised inputs or, switched voltage (SV) inputs. Each input can be individually configured for maximum flexibility. To define the function of each of these inputs, five jumpers must be set. These jumpers are grouped together for easy identification. The diagram below shows the location of these jumper groups and a breakdown of each jumper setting for the defined functions
