The card fits into a compatible slot on the host panel and draws power directly from the panel's internal supply, requiring no external power source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial fire alarm installations where multiple zones or buildings need to share alarm status and control signals, the interface card supports transmission distances up to 1000m between networked modules. This allows panels to be distributed across large sites — warehouses, multi-building campuses, or multi-storey facilities — whilst maintaining centralised monitoring and control. The card requires MAGPRO16 panels to run firmware revision 2.8 or higher, and MAGPRO96 panels to run firmware revision 4.2 or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn-board LED indicators provide real-time status feedback during installation and operation, confirming communication link integrity and data transmission. All programming is handled directly from the host panel's interface, so there's no need for separate configuration software or external programming tools. The RS-485 protocol provides differential signalling that resists interference over long cable runs, making it suitable for installations where panels must communicate across electrically noisy environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e570\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_MAGPRO-NIC_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich panels is this card compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card works with MAGPRO16 (firmware rev 2.8 or higher), MAGPRO96 (firmware rev 4.2 or higher), and REP fire alarm control panels.
