ANN-LC
Lite-Connect™ Module
Annunciators

General
Lite-Connect™ is a fiber module (ANN-LC) that allows the MS9050UD to become a common central station communicator
for multiple MS-9050UD and MS9200UDLS fire alarm control
panels. Lite-Connect is a solution that allows building owners
to reduce the number of phone lines by consolidating the central station communications to a single panel. Using fiber-optic
technology, the panels are connected together and the MS9050UD sends point or zone information for the entire system
to the central station. In addition, building to building connections with fiber avoid potential ground fault issues and damage
caused by lightning strikes.
NOTE: When using the IPGSM-DP(C)/IPGSM-4G(C) Commercial
Fire Communicator Node address settings 10 or above should not
be used.

Features
• Each FACP (main MS-9050UD and remote panels) requires
its own ANN-LC module.
• Up to 16 remote panels (MS-9050UD and MS-9200UDLS).
• Fiber optic panel to panel connections to avoid potential
ground faults or lightning strike issues.
• Main panel communicates up to 50 points / 20 zones to the
Central Station for the MS-9050UD and 198 points / 99
zones for the MS-9200UDLS.
• Connects to the ANN-BUS of the fire panel and requires
minimal programming.
• Class B or Class A operation for survivability.
Each panel requires a unique “node” address that is assigned
in programming.

Specifications
• Operating voltage: 24 VDC

• Maximum current: 150 mA @ 24 VDC
• Maximum attenuation of cabling between any two ANN-LC
cards for 62.5/125 multi-mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors: 5 dB.
• For most applications, this will equate to a maximum fiber
optic cabling distance of 3.1 miles (5km) between each LiteConnect card.
• Compatible with the MS-9050UD Series software version
4.0 or later.
