Remote Page Unit

General

The Notified First Command NFC-RPU is an optional Remote Page Unit that is compatible with the NFC-50/100(E) Emergency Voice Evacuation panel for fire protection applications. It is part of the family of external remote consoles that allows for extending the NFC-50/100(E) display and control to remote locations within a building. It is housed in a cabinet with a keyed thumb lock to limit access to qualified personnel.
The NFC-RPU includes a built-in microphone and 8 selection buttons that can be pushed to activate the system remotely. ALL CALL paging can be broadcast over the speaker circuits by depressing the microphone’s push-to talk button. As an added benefit, the 9th button on the RPU can be used to activate a monitor module that may be installed inside the NFCRPU cabinet to be used for applications such as HVAC shutdown. The NFC-RPU requires an external data bus connection, an external audio riser connection, and an external operator interface power connection (24 Volts DC) from the NFC-50/100 main console.
