Alarmcom has launched its new conventional panel series the FC500C.
Alarmcom has launched its new conventional panel series the FC500C. The range consists of two, four, eight and 12 zone versions. The manufacturers report that the FC500C is fully compliant with EN54 parts 2 and 4 and can provide capacity for up to 72 hours of integral standby. The system has the ability to operate in manned and unmanned mode which allows signalling to the fire brigade to be delayed in the event of operation of an automatic detector while signalling immediately if a manual call point or further detection zone is activated. Manual call points can be mixed on a zone with automatic detectors and still provide manned or unmanned differentiation. Outputs are provided for fire, stage 1 and 2 alarm, fault and disable as well as individual outputs for each zone. Additional inputs are available for remote evacuation, acknowledge, reset, access, manned/unmanned switching and remote transmission disable. Numerous programmable features complete the ranges ability to match most requirements, the makers claim.
