Frame Monitor and Network Interface Modules
The total frame power required is less than 30 watts; therefore, the convec-
tion frame may be used.
With ten modules, the total frame power required is greater than 30 watts
and an 8900TF or 8900TFN forced-air frame must be used.

the 8900NET Network Interface module. The Frame Monitor module pro-
vides alarm reporting for the Frame Alarm only. The 8900NET Network
Interface module provides full functionality of the frame communication
buses including:
•Frame Alarm,
•RS-232 Configuration, and
• 10Base-T Ethernet.
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual.
