Silver Device Upgrades of Existing FPS Systems
Here are some points to keep in mind when replacing your perimeter devices with Silver devices.
•
The FlexPS sensor can use existing MEX sensor cable. However, new Silver Network data cable
must be deployed to the processor.
•
If all devices in an MX-7000 comms loop are replaced, the existing comms (copper or fiber) can
likely be repurposed for the Silver Network.
•
It is possible to replace an FPS2 with an MX-7000 loop capable FlexPS (FlexPS with a Silver
Network MX copper comm card, p/n J9BA0100).
•
Silver Network based sensors operate on 12 to 48 VDC.
