Notifier NCA-2 Network Control Annunciator Instruction Manual

1. Kirish

The Notifier NCA-2 Network Control Annunciator is a sophisticated device designed for use in fire alarm and emergency communication systems. It provides a 640-character display for monitoring and controlling network systems. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the NCA-2 unit.

When used with single panel NFS2-640 systems, the NCA-2 can serve as the primary display, connecting directly to the CPU2-640. For network systems involving two or more Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs), one network display (NCA-2, NCS, or ONYXWorks) is required per system, and each NCA-2 must connect to and utilize an NCM Network Control Module.
