Mircom FX-2017-12NDS Network Fire Alarm Control Panel

Description

Mircom’s FleX-Net Series is a powerful intelligent networkable fire alarm solution designed with many levels of flexibility to meet virtually any application of detection, control, notification and emergency communications. Features such as fire detection & alarm, audio/voice evacuation, BACnet, Boolean logic, networking and graphical work stations allow this modular solution to accommodate the simplest systems up to the most complex solutions With the addition of the Advance Protocol (AP), Fire/CO detection and 520 Hz support on both the addressable loop and through the audio/voice evacuation, Mircom’s FleX-Net is poised to take you even farther into the future with expanded capabilities..
Designed for peer-to-peer network communications, the FX2017-12NDS allows for a maximum of 63 nodes, while providing reliability, flexibility and expandability.
Each base panel consists of one intelligent signaling line circuit (SLC) capable of supporting 159 analog Sensors and 159 addressable modules. In addition the base panel includes Four Style Z/Y (Class A/B) Notification Appliance Circuits and an easy to read and use, large 4 x 20 back-lit alphanumeric LCD display.
The network configuration allows the FX-2017-12NDS control panel to be connected to a Mircom network to provide additional input circuits, visual zones, programmable notification appliance circuits, and relays. The network interface module allows the panels to communicate on a peer-to-peer network via a Proprietary Arcnet Network Communications protocol.
