FF388-3 FP 8 Zone Economy Conventional Fire Panel

FP 8 Zone Economy Conventional Fire Alarm Panel

Order code: FF388-3 Category: FP/MFP 1-28 Zone Fire Panels

Installer-friendly design.
Robust metal enclosure c/w lift off lid & heavy-duty base connections.
Eight conventional Zone circuits.
Two conventional Sounder circuits.
Separate indicators for open & short circuit fault, sounder fault and battery/power supply fault.
Non-latching class change sounder output, latching fire & non-latching fault outputs (via expansion loom).
Short circuit=fire facility (pre-1980 BS, no resistors in call points, selectable on a zone by zone basis).
Ancillary connections for repeaters & other system add-ons including fault relay modules, fire relay modules, sounder delay relay modules, sounder extender kits, etc).
Multi-lingual variants (subject to quantities).
Space for 2 x 12V 3.2Ah VRLA batteries.
Compatible with virtually all known conventional fire detectors including C-TEC’s ActiV range.
Designed to comply with BS 5839-4 (this panel in not compliant with EN54-2/4 and should NOT be used in new UK or European installations).
