Senstar’s Crossfire ™ field network is a powerful complement to any security system. It
features dual physical data paths (fiber optic or RS-422), redundant communications paths
for increased reliability, and bi-directional communications for remote sensor diagnostics
and secure tamper detection. Redundancy ensures that intrusions are always reported,
and control is always available. A Crossfire ™ network can include up to 128 devices
including input / output transponders and Intelli-FLEXTM, IntelliFIBERTM and MPS-4100
sensor processors.
The main elements of a Crossfire ™ Input / Output (I/O) transponder system include:
•
Equipment to interface the Crossfire ™ network to the controlling Windows® PC
running either StarNeT 1000 or Crossfire ™ Network Manager software
•
I/O transponders, card cages, I/O cabling and power supplies
•
Field network wiring (typically customer supplied)
A selection of Crossfire ™ modules are available for the system integrator to choose from.
Crossfire ™ modules can be housed in a rackmountable open card cage for indoor
applications or in a customer provided sealed enclosure for outdoor applications for those
modules that are outdoor related.
Example uses include input monitoring of door position switches and intercom call buttons
and controlling the state of CCTV switchers and contact coils.
