The Siemens NIM-1W is a network interface module for Siemens MXL fire alarm systems, part number 500-699103. Specifically, it serves as the local and wide-area network interface for the MXL X-NET communication bridge. As a result, it lets MXL panels share system information across long distances.
The NIM-1W occupies one full slot in a Model MOM series card cage. There, it communicates directly with the MXL panel through the Model NIM-1R interface module. In addition, it accepts the optional NIM-1M analog modem daughter board. Together, the NIM-1W and NIM-1M form a long-distance communication bridge between MXL panels or networks.
Siemens NIM-1W Key Features
- Extends MXL communication distance between panels and between MXL networks
- Up to 8 miles of range on dedicated 18 AWG copper wire (with NIM-1M)
- Unlimited distance on a leased line conditioned for 19.2K baud (with NIM-1M)
- Supports standalone and networked MXL systems with instant remote monitoring and control
- Bridge configuration takes no network addresses, so the network functions as one unified MXL X-NET
- Style 4 and Style 7 wiring supported among MXL panels
- Compatible with the Network Command Center (NCC) for central monitoring
- UL 864 9th Edition Listed and ULC Listed

Compatibility
The NIM-1W works with Siemens MXL, MXL-IQ, and MXLV fire alarm control panels. Furthermore, CSG-M programming version 6.01 or higher supports networked MXL output logic. For modem-based long-distance links, pair it with the NIM-1M daughter board. Finally, a FireFinder Network Command Center or remote command center can serve as central monitoring.
