OPERATION
The FireFinder (NCC) Upgrade Kits expand the
operating parameters of an existing NCC system as
follows:
• NCC-G16: provides an existing NCC graphics
system with the capability to control/monitor
additional 16 MXL panels
• NCC-16T: provides an existing NCC text system
with the capability to control/monitor additional 16
MXL panels
• NCC-1T-UK allows an existing NCC-1T (16
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-1G (16 node/
graphics)
• NCC-2T-UK allows an existing NCC-2T (32
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-2G (32 node/
graphics)
• NCC-3T-UK allows an existing NCC-3T (48
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-3G (48 node/
graphics)
All FireFinder (NCC) upgrade kits are compatible with
both the NCC OS/2 version and NCC NT™ version.
The minimum NCC software revision required to
recognize the NCC software upgrade keys is 2.23 for
the OS/2 version and 4.01 for the NT™ version.
FireFinder Upgrade Kits include an NCC Upgrade
Software Key and NCC Manual (not included with the
NCC-16 or NCC-GL1 series). The existing NCC
components such as NCC software program,
keyboard templates, and NCC-1F card remain the
same.
INSTALLATION
1.Your existing NCC computer should have the
original NCC software key plugged into the LPT
2 port as shown in Figure 1 on the next page.
2.Insert your NCC upgrade software key directly
into the existing NCC software key. Secure key
connection with screw terminals. See Figure 2
on the next page.
• NCC-4T-UK allows an existing NCC-4T (64
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-4G (64 node/
graphics)
• NCC-GL1 allows an existing NCC-GL system to
upgrade to a NCC-1G (16 node/graphics)

1. NCC-1F card is installed in a 16-bit ISA
slot and is set for COM2.
2. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the
computer's keyboard and mouse ports
following the computer's installation
instructions.
3. NFPA 72 Proprietary and Local System
installation requires that the computer,
monitor, and printer be UL rated for fire
(SIEMENS Models SCD550, SCD550T,
SCD19M, SCD19TM, SCD21M,
SDC21TM and PAL-1, respectively).
4. The computer is supervised for power
and connection to MXL.
5. The printer is supervised for AC, on/off
line, paper out, paper jam, and connection to the computer by NCCNT-G
software at the computer.
6. All circuits are power limited.
7. Cable must be in rigid conduit and cannot
leave the room.
8. Shielded cable is not recommended.
9. Power limited to NFPA 70 per NEC 760.
10.Maximum voltage: 24V peak to peak.
11.Maximum current: 20mA per circuit.
12.LPT2 has software key.
13.The COM Port on the Main CPU is
disabled. The Serial Port on the Serial
Parallel Adapter card takes on the
identification of COM1. The NCC-1F card
is identified as COM2.
14.If you are using model SCD-19M, the
touch screen controller card is not
installed.
15.Pin 1 & 2 of the LPT2 board can be wired
