SIMPLEX FIRE ALARM NETWORKS

Simplex Fire Alarm Networks communicate information among distributed Simplex fire alarm control panels. Systems may be composed of similar capability panels sharing information, or specific nodes may be added to perform dedicated network functions. Illustrations on the following pages provide a summary of a variety of fire alarm Network applications, multiple topologies and connectivity options.

For non-Simplex panels, a Network System Integrator can be used to connect equipment to the Network using optically isolated inputs and relay contact outputs.

 

Network communications among system fire alarm control panels provides:

Support for Network Emergency voice broadcasts and Centralised Command Center operations

Multiple Network Loops for campus and other high panel quantity applications

Network-wide initiation of alarm silence, acknowledge, and reset; and investigation of status and details of system points and point lists

Distributed system operation to ensure excellent survivability; during a communications fault condition, Network nodes remaining connected will regroup and continue communicating

Flexible Network Annunciator options such as XLGraphics, TrueSite Workstations, Network Display Units (NDU) and NDUs with VCC (Voice Command Center)

Use of InfoAlarm Command Center equipped nodes to provide increased network information display capability

Network level command and control provides manual point control for on/off or disable/enable, as well as gathering specific point detail

TrueAlarm Addressable/Analog Smoke And Heat Sensors

The First Choice In Intelligent Sensing Technology



Addressable/analog for full interactive communications

Intelligent sensing for reduced nuisance alarms

Lower installation and expansion costs

Automatic adjustment for dirt, dust, humidity and aging- our sensors even tell you when they need to be cleaned

Four available options: Photo, Ion, Heat or Multi-sensor Photo/ Heat combining smoke/heat in a single base that’s easy to wire and allows each sensor to be programmed individually for a different alarm response (heat or smoke), or combines for faster response to fast-flaming fires. WHEN TO CHOOSE

For companies seeking the lowest possible installations and maintenance costs

For operations requiring detailed maintenance and alarm reporting to the device level
