The FPC‑500‑x Conventional Fire Panel is the ideal Z1…Z8 Up to 8 zones

solution for small and medium-sized objects. Thanks to
the proven conventional line technology a cost-saving IN1, IN2 Up to 2 inputs (FPC‑500‑2 and FPC‑500 4 one input)
fire alarm system can be set up. Two NAC outputs (500 mA each)
Three types are available:
• FPC‑500‑2: 2 zones for up to 64 detectors ALARM RLY, Alarm and fault relay
FAULT RLY
• FPC‑500‑4: 4 zones for up to 128 detectors
• FPC‑500‑8: 8 zones for up to 256 detectors AUX AUX power supply (500 mA)
With the integrated LCD display, the panel can be
Emergency power supply, up to 2 x 7.2 Ah
programmed and operated.
The optional extensions such as relay modules, open
collector modules and key switches allow further
tailoring to user needs.
