interface. Therefore, no software installation is required. The panel can receive diagnostics from a Web browser running on a networked PC.

System Overview

Functions

Peer-to-peer Communications

The FPA‑1000 panels (-V2) allow peer-to-peer networking of up to eight panels in a single group supporting a system which can include up to 2000 points.

Networked panels act as a single panel – enabling all events to be displayed on all units. All connected panels can easily be programmed and controlled via any connected panel.

Ethernet, fiber optic, or 2-conductor wire inter‑panel connections can be mixed providing flexibility in system design.

System Management

A set of interactive Web pages gives you an instant means to access and record important system functions. This unique feature enables programming and diagnostic capabilities while offsite, streamlining installation and reducing the time required for servicing the system. And, you can check status and manage the system from virtually anywhere on the network.

Communications

The FPA‑1000 panel has a dual phone line PSTN/DACT circuit and an Ethernet connection featuring Conettix IP reporting. The panel communicates in Contact ID, SIA, and Modem IIIa2. The panel provides miscellaneous reporting functions such as dialing

control and transmission supervision, priorities of report groups, routing to destinations, manual and auto test reports, and Anti-Replay feature.

For the primary and secondary account, the following features are programmable:

•Two different phone or IP numbers

•Different dialing types for PSTN (pulse only, automatic, or tone only)

•Individual PSTN line supervision (audible and visual trouble signal in the case of a transmission path failure)

•Selectable options for Report Steering Groups

•Programmable acknowledge wait time for each IP reporting Conettix account (10 sec up to 255 sec)

•Test report frequency individually programmable for each account (4, 12, 24 hour, 7 and 28 day intervals, standard frequency 24 hour)

Applications

The FPA-1000 panels are recommended for a wide range of commercial and public building applications, including:

•Retail – single building applications

•Education – schools and universities

•Residential - apartment buildings

•Commercial – manufacturing plants, warehouses and office complexes

•Government and Public Service – military bases and installations

•Medical – healthcare facilities

Multi-criteria Detectors

A range of pull stations, modules, accessories and detectors are available to meet the needs of your application. These include the new Automatic Fire Detector 440 Series that incorporate multi-criteria technology for higher sensitivity, faster detection, and fewer false alarms.

Gas detection

Integrated gas detection is an important element of your facility’s fire and life safety strategy. Using FCC-380 Carbon Monoxide detectors combined with an addressable monitor module, you can set your system to alarm for carbon monoxide to meet the NFPA 720 (2009) requirements for visual and audible annunciation for this hazardous gas.

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)

Two Class A Style Z or Class B Style Y NACs provide up to 4 A of 24 V power (non-synchronized: 2.5 A per NAC; synchronized: 2.75 A NAC 1 + NAC 2 in total) to operate horns, strobes, bells, and other notification appliances. Each NAC can be programmed to provide Temporal Code 4, Temporal Code 3, and steady, pulsing, and synchronized protocol output for Wheelock, Gentex, and System Sensor notification appliances.
