Fire Alarm Control Panels

Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) integrate with your sensors such as Smoke Detectors and other peripherals such as Pull Stations. In the event of a fire, the FACP will receive an emergency signal from a sensor, evaluate it as a legitimate or false alarm and then make a programmed response. There are two types of Control Panels: read more about Conventional FACPs and Addressable FACPs.

Conventional Control Panels

Conventional Control Panels monitor only a handful of "zones" with multiple sensors connected to each zone. In the event of a fire, the FACP will trigger the alarm devices connected to it, but the origin of the fire can only be narrowed down to the zone on which an input device was triggered. Control Panels also have other features depending on their model and manufacturer.

Fire-Lite MS-2 Control Panel

The MS-2 is compatible with the new I3 smoke detectors from System Sensor, and provide such advanced features as drift compensation, maintenance alert, and freeze warning. Automatic synchronization of audio/visual devices is provided, using manufacturer protocol for System Sensor, Wheelock and Gentex appliances. The NAC protocol includes the ability to silence audible devices while strobes continue to flash, using only a single pair of wires.

The MS-2 also is compatible with conventional input devices such as two- and four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally- open contact devices.

Silent Knight 2-Zone Conventional FACP

The SK-2 and SK-2E (SK-2/E) are two zone conventional fire alarm control panels (FACPs) that bring the latest in microprocessor technology to conventional fire controls. The SK-2 is a 120 VAC FACP and the SK-2E is a 240 VAC FACP. These FACPs provide reliable fire signaling protection for small- to medium-sized commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.

Addressable Control Panels

Addressable Control Panels use addressing protocols to monitor all input devices individually or in a small group. In the event of a fire, the addressable FACP will also trigger the alarm, but you will have the advantage of knowing exactly which device triggered the alarm and pinpoint the troubled area.

Firelite MS9600 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel

The Fire-Lite MS-9600 is a compact, cost-effective, intelligent addressable fire alarm control panel with a capacity of 318 addressable Fire-Lite devices on one Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) or a total of 636 addressable points with an optional second loop (SLC-2). An optional 14.4K Baud modem (DACT-UD) is available for remote site upload/download and/ or remote monitoring.

The panel uses surface-mount technology and is designed for ease of installation, programming, and maintenance. It features the latest in advanced fire protection technology, including maintenance alert and automatic detector test functions.
