functions

MINERVA® MX is a comprehensive range of fire controllers

designed and built to BSEN ISO9001/2 and EN54 for
installation to BS5839 Pt. 1. An advanced proven
microprocessor based system, MINERVA® MX provides
conventional and digital addressable detection for new,
refurbished and refitted detection systems.

A wide range of detectors and ancillaries makes MINERVA®

MX suitable for applications from clean areas and offices to
large industrial and hazardous areas.
