Tecom TS0098 module allows Challenger RS-485 LAN data to be carried over an IP network. This provides an IP connection between a Challenger panel and its LAN devices such as Remote Arming Stations (RAS) and Data Gathering Panels (including Intelligent Access Controllers) reducing the need for dedicated wiring of expensive two-pair twisted, shielded data cable (Belden 8723).
The TS0098 also enables physically separate segments of the Challenger RS-485 LAN to be linked together over IP network, either to extend distance or inexpensively utilise existing IT infrastructure.
