Key Features:
- Six onboard 24 volt class B zones
- Eight communication paths between the panel & monitoring center
- Up to .5 amps 24 VDC smoke auxiliary output with OVC protection (switchable)
- Up to .5 amps 24 VDC smoke auxiliary output with OVC protection (non-switchable)
- Compatible with DMP zone expanders and other existing fire notification devices
- Built-on fire graphic touchscreen
- Onboard Network keypad
- Onboard 10/100 autosensing Ethernet
- Two 1.5 amp NAC circuits
- Built-in remote or on-site firmware upgrade capability
- Customizable check-in time and retry time
- 12,000 event buffer
Models:
- XF6-100 (6 onboard zones plus 1-LX Bus for 100 zone expansion)
- XF6-500 (6 onboard zones plus 5-LX Bus for 500 zone expansion)
Product Usage Instructions
The XF6 Fire Control Panels provide fire monitoring for single-site applications. The panels come fully assembled from the factory and include the following components:
- Touchscreen Keypad: The Fire Command Center mounted in the door displays system events and menu prompts, making it efficient and easy to use.
- Transformer and Enclosure: The 24 VAC at 5.4 amp wire-in transformer is factory installed.
The panels support flexible communication options:
- Network or Cellular Communication: The built-in 10/100 auto-sensing Ethernet connection provides enhanced line security options. Both UDP and TCP are supported. Cellular communication can be used as the primary path for commercial fire installations, providing a reliable communication link even when landlines are compromised.
- Eight Communication Paths: Configure up to eight communication paths between the panel and monitoring center, each with its own programming parameters. This ensures a constant link between the panel and the monitoring center.
- Communication Function Diagnostics: Technicians can use the enhanced diagnostic menu to check the network and cellular communication status, as well as cell signal strength directly from the keypad.

FIRE CONTROL PANELS
-
XF6 FIRE PANELS
The XF6 provides fire monitoring for any single site application. The panel is enhanced by the onboard Ethernet connection that allows the use of network monitoring. The panel comes fully assembled from the factory with the following components. -
TOUCHSCREEN KEYPAD
The Fire Command Center mounted in the door displays system events and menu prompts, making it efficient and easy to use. -
TRANSFORMER AND ENCLOSURE
The 24 VAC at 5.4 amp wire-in transformer is factory installed. -
FLEXIBLE COMMUNICATION
The commercial fire panels have transitioned from dialer-focused communications to a true network and cellular communications approach, providing stronger, multi-layered panel communications that ensure a constant link between the panel and monitoring center. -
NETWORK OR CELLULAR COMMUNICATION
Built-in 10/100 auto-sensing Ethernet connection enhances both standard and encrypted line security options. Both UDP and TCP are supported.
The panels may be used with the 263 Series Cellular Communicators as the primary path (no backup required) for commercial fire installations.
The check-in and fail time settings are programmed for five minutes. As the backup path, the 263 communicator provides the security of a communication link that continues to function, even when landlines are cut or compromised. The communicators can be used as a stand-alone communicator without the need for a backup. This interface works over a variety of carriers in the USA and Canada. -
EIGHT COMMUNICATION PATHS
Configure up to eight communication paths between the panel and monitoring center. Each path has its own panel communication programming parameters and can be identified as either primary or backup. This enables installers to configure a reliable communication link, offering greater confidence that the panel will always be connected to the monitoring center. -
COMMUNICATION FUNCTION DIAGNOSTICS
The enhanced diagnostic menu enables technicians to check network and cellular communication status and cell signal strength from the keypad. -
FIRE ZONE PROGRAMMING
Program zones for fire, fire verify, fire retard, presignal, cross zoning or fire supervisory. This flexibility allows the ability to match individual zone characteristics to the needs of any area in the fire installation. -
ZONE EXPANSION
The system provides Class B powered zones. Up to 100 12V zones are available on each built-in LX-Bus™ using expansion modules. -
FIRE DRILL AND WALK TEST
Users can test fire notification bells using the Fire Drill feature. A special code is also available for installers to test the system. The Walk Test allows a single technician to check the panel response to fire, CO and supervisory zones. -
FLASH UPDATABLE
The XF6 Series panels accept software updates using Dealer Admin™. This makes it easy to perform the flash update remotely any time new panel feature updates release.
COMMERCIAL WIRELESS FIRE DEVICES
The list of DMP wireless devices that have earned the UL Commercial Fire Listing include:
- 1103 Universal Transmitter: Offers the same look and features as the 1101 transmitter with the addition of a 470K end-of-line resistor, wall tamper switch and commercial fire listing.
- 1100R Wireless Repeater: Extends the communication range of DMP receivers, enabling physically larger, more reliable wireless security systems.
- 1100X Wireless Receiver: Supports up to 500 transmitters and satisfies all wireless applications.
- 1100XH High Power Wireless Receiver: Provides additional transmit and receive amplification for improved performance at greater distance or in harsh building environments.
- Commercial Smoke Detectors: The 1164 includes synchronized sounders and a tamper switch. The 1164NS is for applications with existing sounder/notification devices.
- 1183 Wireless Heat Detector: A reliable, ceiling-mount heat sensor available in two versions. The 1183-135F responds if the temperature exceeds 135°. The 1183-135R adds a rate-of-rise feature that responds if the temperature increases by 15°F per minute or more.
- 1184 Carbon Monoxide Detector:
- The ideal choice for difficult-to-wire locations, applications where room aesthetics are critical or where hazardous materials are present.
- The sensor provides an early alert of potentially harmful levels of carbon monoxide in residential or commercial installations. In addition, it also transmits trouble, tamper and low-battery messages to the panel.
