The ARIES NETLink™ is one of the most technologically advanced intelligent fire alarm-suppression-focused control units available to the industry today. It combines the high quality, system reliability, and flexibility required by modern commercial, high-tech and industrial applications in an aesthetically pleasing and physically robust package. Its modular architecture enables easy field expansion from the base 2-SLC unit that supports 510 addressable devices (255 per circuit) to an 8-SLC system capable of 2,040 addressable devices. Despite its compact fit-between-wall-studs dimensions, the ARIES NETLink is designed to be quick and easy to install.  Cutting edge technologies incorporated in the electronics design enable diagnostics for time-efficient commissioning.

Description

The ARIES NETLink™ is one of the most technologically advanced intelligent fire alarm-suppression-focused control units available to the industry today.

Its modular architecture enables easy field expansion from the base 2-SLC unit that supports 510 addressable devices (255 per circuit) to an 8-SLC system capable of 2,040 addressable devices. Despite its compact fit-between-wall-studs dimensions, the ARIES NETLink is designed to be quick and easy to install.  Cutting edge technologies incorporated in the electronics design enable diagnostics for time-efficient commissioning.

Main Controller Board - MCB

The ARIES NETLink’s main printed circuit board contains the system’s central processing unit (CPU) and all of the primary circuits. The MCB is the heart of the system, con- trolling the operation and supervision of all the system modules and software. It receives loop device data, pro- cesses the data based on pre-programmed instructions, and transmits output commands to the output modules, field devices, and display(s). The MCB is mounted to the enclosure using special design hinged stand-offs which permit the board to swing left and enable easy access to the PMU/PSU assembly behind.

User Interface

The user interface consists of a built-in keypad and a dis- play which provide physical means by which an operator and/or installer performs system functions, enters the security password, operates soft keys, navigates the sys- tem menus, configures and tests the entire ARIES NETLink system.
