Description
Fireclass FC718D 4-8 Loop Touchscreen Fireclass Fire Alarm Control Panel
The FireClass range of fire alarm control panels provide a great deal of flexibility in terms of hardware configuration, scalability and feature set. They are easy to operate, easy to install, easy to service and provide the system designer with a wide range of practical engineering solutions. Remote connectivity and backwards compatibility make it a future proof investment with long term support and reduced life time cost.
The eight loop addressable panel from FireClass is a highly featured digital addressable fire alarm system with an advanced TFT colour touch-screen user interface that is ergonomically engineered specifically for fire alarm control. Operation of the touch screen is possible with or without gloves and provides easy-to-use, intuitive user controls including keyless log-on using RFID cards.
The robust FireClass loop protocol can operate in the harshest of environments. Essential for system upgrades, existing cables can be reused, significantly reducing the cost of replacing a system. Ample loop power is available to meet the increasing demand for visual alarms in addition to traditional audible alarms. Practicalities such as the layout of a building or the number of alarm devices will often dictate the useable size of a detection loop and can result in unused capacity and the need for additional hardware.
In order to optimise loop capacity, FireClass offers a system design solution. Each addressable loop can be connected as one high power (HP) loop or two shared power (SP) loops. This provides the system designer the flexibility of allocating all available power and 250 addresses to the HP loop, or to share resources across two SP loops. This level of optimisation can significantly reduce total installed system cost.
FC708D & FC718D fire alarm panels can each support 1000 addresses in total and panels can be seamlessly networked together making it suitable for a range of applications. They are equipped with four SP loops that can be hardware configured as two HP loops and can easily be expanded to 4 HP loops or 8 SP loops.
