Addressable Fire Alarm System

The Addressable Fire Alarm System is a high specification analogue fire system. It combines sophisticated functionality with simple operation and a very aesthetically pleasing design. The large capacity, ability to support complex cause and effect programming and wide range of user controllable functions make the system suitable for a diverse range of projects. This system uses soft addressing to minimize installation time and remove the potential for error associated with manual addressing.

Each of the system components has been specifically designed to operate as part of a full system, this provides an assurance that the panel, the detectors, the interfaces and the ancillaries are all fully compatible with each other and that the full range of system functionality is supported by each device.

A large format liquid crystal display provides full system status information, allowing easier identification of location of areas of concern, faults and zones.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

• The range consists of a wide range of compatible detectors, callpoints, sounders, beacons, repeater panels and interfaces
• Available with or without a built in printer
• For heavily loaded systems or systems requiring extended autonomy in the event of a mains failure, versions are available with extended battery capacity
• Each of the external devices (callpoints, detectors, sounders interfaces etc) incorporates an integral short circuit isolator to provide maximum protection against short circuits on the external loops

USER INTERFACE

• Comprehensive context sensitive help information is provided throughout the menus to assist unfamiliar users with system operation
• The touch screen display automatically reconfigures to suit the selected function, for example, if the change device text menu option is selected, the touch screen is automatically formatted as a full QWERTY keyboard to enable fast and  simple text entry
• As well as a large format liquid crystal display providing full system status information, the panel incorporates traditional zone indication LED's to provide clear information about the status and spread of a fire even to a user who is completely unfamiliar with the operation of the system. In addition there area number of system status LED's designed to provide status information to non technical users
• The hinged front door provides simple access to all internal components and wiring
• The panel door cannot be opened without the use of a special key (supplied with panel)

Maintenance and Modes

• Panel has 3 modes of operation, normal mode, user maintenance mode and engineer mode
• User maintenance and engineer modes can only be accessed by entering relevant pass codes
• Maintenance mode allows access to system test functions, enable and disable menus, view analogue level menus and functions such as evacuate, silence alarms and reset
