FireShield Conventional Fire Alarm Panels

The FireShield fire alarm family is the ideal solution for both new and retrofit installations. It consists of three, five and 10 zone conventional fire alarm control panels, an integrated DACT/Dialer, serial annunciator modules, and serial remote relay modules - all of which are microprocessor-controlled for trouble-free operation.

FireShield panels incorporate features like front panel programming, one person walk testing, and selectable IDC and NAC types. These features are designed to simplify installation, operation and maintenance while keeping costs in-check.

FireShield panels are powerful enough to meet the demands of today’s installations while leaving plenty of room to grow in the future. All available current may be used for notification appliances, or up to 0.5 amps can be used as auxiliary current.

FireShield provides smoke and fire detection, occupant notification and off-premises signaling for small- to medium sized buildings. Each IDC can be configured for either Class B or Class A operation and one of eight operating modes.

NACs may also be configured for either Class B or Class A operation. Additionally, NACs can be individually configured for one of three outputs. These are Genesis, Continuous or Temporal. The Genesis selection allows independent horn control over two wires and provides precision synchronization for Genesis devices, all without the need for a Genesis Signal Master accessory.

When configured for Genesis™ notification appliances, FireShield’s Alarm Silence function will silence connected Genesis audible appliances but Genesis strobes will remain active until the panel is reset. When Genesis Mode is selected, both the horns and strobes on Genesis and Enhanced Integrity notification appliances will be synchronized across all NACs.

Control of the panel’s operation is both simple and intuitive. While the LEDs and LCD are visible with the panel door closed, the door and bezel block access to the controls.

With the DACT/Dialer installed, the dialer’s LCD display provides two lines x 16 characters of text. For programming, the top line displays the programming step and the lower line displays the selected option. When not in the programming mode, the panel status is displayed. The panel’s LEDs provide additional indication of panel status.
