The RS485 Ethernet Converter has been selected to facilitate the networking of Morley-IAS Fire Systems “ZX” range of control panels and peripheral devices utilising a Local Area Network (LAN). Many larger organisations, establishments or large retail chains utilise a dedicated LAN to provide secure IT services between not only different parts of a building but indeed different buildings with the country. This infrastructure can now be used to network the “ZX” range of control panels and associated peripheral devices, using the RS485 Ethernet Converter, to facilitate centralised monitoring of the fire alarm system without the need to install an expensive dedicated fire alarm network. It is important that detailed discussions take place with the IT manager on site and the Morley-IAS applications engineer who can provide technical support to assist with the successful implementation of such a network.
