Product Overview
The Siemens Fire Safety Models D2300CPS (multi-mode)
and D2325CPS (single-mode) fiber-optic interface
modules can be used to transmit RS-485 communication
between FireFinder XLS and MXL intelligent, addressable
fire-alarm control panels which includes H-Net
communication between FireFinder XLS main and remote
panels; M-Net communication between MXL main and
remote panels; and X-Net communication between MXL
or FireFinder XLS panels.
Models D2300CPS and D2325CPS can act as either a
repeater or an end-point unit. The fiber-optic interface
modules are powered by 24VDC from the fire-alarm
control panels. Models D2300CPS and D2325CPS can be
powered from the Model PSC-12 power supply or Model
PSX-12 power supply extender when used with the
FireFinder XLS. When used with the MXL system, Models
D2300CPS and D2325CPS can be powered from Model
MMB-2, Model MMB-3 or Model PSR-1. The fiber-optic
interface modules can also be powered by Model PAD-3
or Model PS-35.

Specifications
Using the model D2300-MP mounting plate, two (2)
Models D2300CPS and D2325CPS modules can be
mounted in any FireFinder XLS CAB-series enclosure.

For the MXL, up to two (2) Model D2300CPS or Model

D2325CPS modules can be mounted in any MXL enclosure
that will accept a given Model MOM-4, using the Model
MXL-MPFO mounting plate. When using System 3TM-style
rails that mount on the MXLs Model MBR-2 or Model
MME-3 backbox, Model MSR-1. Model D2300CPS or
Model D2325CPS can also be mounted with the System 3
bracket, Model MPFO. Up to three (3) brackets can be
installed on a single rail.
The Model D2300CPS module can also operate in either a
daisy chain or star configuration, allowing for network
configurations that are not possible with RS-485 networks
alone.
The connection between the Model D2300CPS modules
uses two (2), high-quality duplex 50/1 25 or 62.5/1 25
fiber-optic cables and ST-style fiber connectors. The
duplex fiber-optic cable has two (2) cables in a single
shield similar to an electrical zip cord. Each segment of
the fiber network can be up to 1.9 miles.
The connection between the Model D2325CPS modules
uses two (2), high-quality duplex 9/125 fiber optic cables
and ST-style fiber connectors. The duplex fiber-optic cable
has two (2) cables in a single shield similar to electrical zip
cord. Each segment of the fiber network can be up to 10
miles.

Specifications (continued)
For both multi-mode and single-mode installations,
overall system-fiber length is limited by the
communication delay across the entire fiber network.
Total network length should not exceed 70,000 feet.
For both fiber-optic interface modules (Models
D2300CPS and D2325CPS), there are five (5) lightemitting diode (LED) indicators for Power and
Status. The Power LED is green and lights whenever
there is 24VDC. Both channels A and B have a
yellow and green LED. The green LED indicates the
module is transmitting data on that channel. The
yellow LED light will trigger when data is received.
