seamlessly into To Volume be secure in the future we must • The LCM-2500 integrates 27 September 2018 Edition existing security systems through up to look to the past. This can be done by coupling high-tech • sensing devices with increased capabil- ity with field-proven infrastructure that does not rely on any connectivity. The CEL Solution: • The FiberStrike® LCM-2500 Discrete • Relay Interface (DRI) developed and manufactured by Cleveland Electric • Laboratories is a state-of-the-art solu- tion for monitoring the security status • of virtually any access portal. • It does not require a PC and has no net- work connectivity. 64 dry contact relays. It is no different than wiring in a standard electrical sensor to an existing security panel and programming the system in the same way. The configurable relays can be controlled to respond to changes in one or more sensors. The sensors are connected to optical con- nectors on the box. Each optical channel utilizes one strand of SM fiber with several uniquely ad- dressed switches installed in series. All switches on the system are monitored continuously and simultaneously, and intrusion events are immediately report- (FiberStrike® consists of two distinctly different technology groups) 62
