General Description
The IFMNET module allows you to connect two or more control panels in a Hornet+ network by means of two
RS485 communication ports (A and B).
In cases where a fiber optic cable is used over long BUS lengths, it is necessary to use a RS485/fiber converter (non-
INIM brand product). The module has a 12V output for the power supply to the converter in use.
IFMNET comes with:
• 3 screws for securing the module to the grounding bar
• Instructions manual
