EST3 Network Communications Network and Audio Data Upgrades
Communication Methods • Standard Copper Cable, RS485 Card • Fiber Optic Interface • Multimode • Single Mode, High and Low Output • Telco Copper Lines, Short Haul Modem
Common Communication Features • Style 4 or 7 (Class ‘B’ or ‘A’) • Can switch media on the same network • There are rules
3-RS485x Communication Card • #18 AWG Copper, up to 5000’ over 3 Nodes • Network Data, 90Ω, .3 µf • Audio Data, 90Ω, .09 µf • Use 3-RS485B for… • Class ‘B’ Network Data • Class ‘A’ Network Data • Class ‘B” Audio Data • Use 3-RS485A for… • above plus Class ‘A’ Audio Data
3-FIBMB2 Fiber Optic Interface • Network Data & Audio on the same board • Multimode & Single Mode Fiber both Lo and High output • Mix Fiber [TYPES] and RS485 Copper Communications
3-FIBMB2 Fiber Optic Interface • SMXLO2 Single Mode Transceiver • Approx. 8.7 miles, 16 dBm budget • SMXHI2 Single Mode Transceiver • Approx. 24.85 miles, 29 dBm budget • MMXVR Multimode Transceiver • Approx 7000 feet, 10 dBm budget
Transitions • Copper to Fiber • Any Fiber to Any Fiber • NO Fiber transition to Short Haul at the same node, need copper between • NO Fiber or Short Haul at an Annunciator, copper only • *Retrofit or upgrades to existing EST3 single mode systems require specific considerations.
Fiber Benefits & Applications • Immune to electrical noise • Use through hazardous atmospheres • High level of security • Resist effects of moisture • Eliminates ground faults
Cost Considerations • Multimode • Higher cost fiber, lower cost electronics • ST Connectors (physical connector) • Single Mode • Lower cost fiber, higher cost electronics • SC Connectors (physical connector) • Driving Factor = Distance • Performance is Equal but for distance
3-FIBMB2 Fiber Optic Interface • 3-FIBMB2 • Fiber Optic Interface • Transceivers • SMXLO2 • SMXHI2 • MMXVR • 24 VDC input for communications during servicing or updating 3-FIBMB to 3-FIBMB2 installations

Short Haul Modem 3-NSHMx • Up to 6 miles between nodes • Uses 2 Pair existing copper telco lines (must have continuity) • Integrated test modes • Accessories • transient suppression & ground fault • Media Switch Conditions: • Standard copper to Short Haul • Short Haul to standard copper • Short Haul to Short Haul • 3-NSHM1 & 3-NSHM2
Transient Suppression Transient Suppression Transient Suppression Transient Suppression Copper / Short Haul / Copper Copper Copper Short Haul Short Haul
How the Short Hauls fit in? • Interface Card plugs into RS485 Slot on CPU • Ribbon cable to NSHMx • NSHMx to Chassis
G G 3-NSHMx Ground Fault Detection • GFD • Short Haul modem wiring is opto isolated • GFD module monitors ground fault on isolated wires • Requires 24 VDC & SIGA-CT1 to monitor 2 Pair GFD PS SIGA-CT1
Short Haul Design Considerations • Network Data Only – No Audio • Cannot use at Annunciators • Requires two pairs, runs full duplex • Cannot have Short Haul and Fiber at the same node
