Information About 566-736
The 566-736 is a dedicated transceiver board that enables Simplex 4100 series fire alarm control panels to communicate over the MapNet II signaling line circuit (SLC). It converts panel-level signals into MapNet II protocol, allowing addressable devices such as detectors, modules, and control points to function within the system. Designed as a direct interface for the 4100-3102, this board provides robust and supervised data transmission. Although discontinued, it remains essential for servicing legacy installations still operating with MapNet II technology.
Key Features:
- MapNet II Transceiver: Provides communication between panels and addressable devices.
- 4100 Compatibility: Designed for use with Simplex 4100 series panels.
- Interface Module: Works directly with 4100-3102 boards.
- Addressable Device Support: Enables use of MapNet II detectors and modules.
- Supervised Communication: Monitors signal integrity across the SLC.
- Reliable Integration: Ensures smooth panel-to-device connectivity.
- Legacy System Role: Essential for maintaining older MapNet II fire alarm systems.
- Compact PCB Design: Circuit board format for internal installation.
- Discontinued Part: No longer manufactured, available only for repair/maintenance.
The 566-736 delivers the reliability and precision required for MapNet II communications in Simplex 4100 fire alarm systems.
