conventional fire control panel
The Panel is a 4-zone to 16-zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel), which uses
conventional input devices. The panel accepts water flow devices, two-wire
smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations and other
normally-open contact devices. Outputs include four Notification Appliance
Circuits (NAC, SOUND1-4), three standard Form-A relays (alarm, trouble and
supervisory) and an EIA-485 port to interface with remote annunciators and
optional remote relay modules. The FACP is field programmable via the panel
keypad. It also supervises all wiring, AC voltage and battery level.
This series of panels are basically the same in application and operation, their
differences are shown in Table 1-1. The Panel will be described as the example in
the following sections.
