Does the Fire-Link system have a dedicated Control Unit?

Yes. The Network Monitoring Controller (NMC) is basically a two zone fire panel. However, it does not have any signal circuits. The AC connection that powers the unit is also the signal path (NAC) from our NMC to the remotely installed ISDs in each suite. It is intended that the NMC be interconnected to the Fire Alarm System Control Unit for both alarm and trouble (off-normal) functions. System software contains individual ISD identification numbers and correlated suite numbers (Addresses). The NMC continually communicates with, and monitors the condition of, the remote ISDs in the suites.
