designed to be very simple to use while offering exceptional flexibility via a comprehen-
sive feature list.
Detection
 Each line programmable for current limited or non current limited operation
 Detectors and call points on same line with functional differentiation (where allowed)
 Intrinsically safe detectors via line coupler DC1192 and safety barrier SB3
 Each line programmable for non-latch function and/or technical alarms
Inputs / Outputs
 Dry contacts for general alarm and fault
 2 or 6 monitored control lines 24 V/500 mA for horns, external remote transm., etc.
 1 to 6 fire control relays, rated 10 A/250 V
 Driver output per detector line
 6 common driver control outputs
 6 control inputs (1 programmable)
PMI
 Individual indicator labeling with inscription stripe sets in various languages
 Numeric display for alarm counter, clock, alarm delay count down, event memory
 Individual isolate/test buttons for clear and easy user operation
