Description
The BACNET-GW-3 is a powerful communication gateway that enables seamless integration between NOTIFIER’s NOTI•FIRE•NET™ fire panel network and building management systems using the BACnet/IP protocol. Acting as a bridge, it translates data from NOTIFIER fire alarm control panels into BACnet objects, allowing BACnet clients to monitor and receive real-time event notifications from the fire network.

Information About BACNET-GW-3
The BACNET-GW-3 connects to the NOTI•FIRE•NET via a network port on a Network Control Module (NCM) and supports both standard and high-speed NFN configurations. Each gateway can monitor up to 14 NOTI•FIRE•NET nodes or 15,000 combined objects, including detectors, control modules, and notification appliances. To scale for larger installations, multiple BACNET-GW-3 units can be deployed.
Key Features:
- High Node and Object Capacity: Supports up to 14 NOTI•FIRE•NET nodes per gateway with a total object capacity of 15,000—including detectors, modules, and appliances—enabling efficient large-scale integration.
- Native BACnet/IP Support: Communicates using the BACnet/IP protocol, ensuring full compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE 135-1995 and seamless interoperability with BACnet-certified BMS platforms.
- Event Notification Subscription: Subscribes to Event Notification objects on each FACP, allowing immediate and reliable transmission of critical fire events to the BACnet system.
- PC Programmability with Configuration Tool: Comes with a dedicated CD-based configuration tool for offline programming, supporting intuitive configuration on a Windows XP-based PC.
- Foreign Device Support: Capable of acting as a foreign BACnet device when communicating through BBMDs (BACnet Broadcast Management Devices), expanding flexibility in complex networked environments.
- Multiple Gateway Scalability: Supports installation of multiple BACNET-GW-3 units in parallel for interfacing with networks exceeding 14 nodes, ideal for enterprise-level fire protection systems.
- Direct Ethernet Connectivity: Equipped with an RJ-45 port for Ethernet-based BACnet connectivity and another for connection to the NFN network, providing high-speed, reliable communication paths.
The BACNET-GW-3 streamlines fire and building system convergence, improving visibility and control in modern facilities.
