4G Communicators for Inim Previdia Fire Alarm Control Panels: Cloud and Ethernet Backup

labelProduct Release

Connecting a fire control panel to the cloud via the mobile network and providing a backup channel for Ethernet communications: these are the main new features of Inim Fire & Safety’s 4G communicators for the Previdia series of fire control panels.

The IFMDIAL4G and PREVIDIA-C-DIAL4G modules expand the system’s remote communication capabilities, combining voice calls and text messages with digital event transmission over a 4G network and a connection to Inim Cloud Fire.

For the installer, this means being able to choose how to configure the control panel’s connections based on the system’s requirements, with more options for integrating the Ethernet network with the mobile network.

Inim Cloud Fire via 4G: Primary or Backup Connection

The key new feature is the ability to connect the control panel to Inim Cloud Fire via a 4G network. The mobile network connection can be used in two ways:

As the primary connection to the cloud, when the project involves the use of a 4G network.
As a backup for the Ethernet connection, providing an alternative channel for connecting to the cloud in addition to the wired network.

This flexibility allows the installer to use mobile connectivity either as the primary connection or as part of a configuration that already uses Ethernet. The new modules also offer a mobile network backup function for the Ethernet-based digital communicator, expanding the options for signal transmission. Digital Communications Over 4G Networks with SIA and Contact ID The new communicators allow for the transmission of digital communications over the mobile network using widely used protocols, including SIA and Contact ID. 4G technology thus expands the control panel’s communication capabilities while retaining the features already available on previous models:

Voice calls over the PSTN or 4G network, with customizable messages.
Text messages containing details of events detected by the system.
Digital communications over a 4G mobile network, using supported protocols.

The installer can thus evaluate the various alarm modes based on the fire protection system's communication requirements.

Which 4G communicator should I choose for the Previdia control panel?

The choice of module depends on the series of the control panel installed.

Communicator Module

Compatible power plants

PSTN/4G

Previdia Max and Previdia Ultra

IFMDIAL4G

Previdia Max and Previdia Ultra

PREVIDIA-C-DIAL4G

Previdia Compact and Previdia Micro

Both modules introduce 4G connectivity for remote communications and connection to Inim Cloud Fire, within their respective compatible series. More options for remote communication in fire protection systems With INIM 4G communicators, the choice of communication channel becomes part of the system configuration: cloud connectivity via mobile networks, Ethernet connection backup, and digital event transmission complement voice calls and SMS messages. For those installing Previdia fire control panels, the advantage is being able to identify a communication solution that is consistent with the control panel used and the project’s requirements.
