New conventional fire panel range

September 2001 Fire & Safety

Aritech has announced the launch of its new FP500 range of conventional fire alarm and extinguishing control panels, aimed at providing a solution for small to medium-sized installations.

The panels are microprocessor-controlled, powerful and cost-effective and are easily installed. The range presently consists of a two-zone (FP502), four-zone (FP504) and eight-zone (FP508) panel, with 12 and 16-zone models being added before year-end. The panels are EN54 compliant and are suitable for use with most industry standard conventional detectors such as the Aritech 650, 700 and 860 Series. All panels have standard open collector outputs for each zone.

Also available are the FP503/1 and FP505/2 fire control panels for the control of automatic extinguishing systems. The FP503/1 combines two standard detection zones into a double knock detection zone for controlling one extinguishing zone, and offers one extra zone for additional detection or monitoring. The FP505/2 provides two extinguishing zones and one additional zone.

These combined extinguishing/detection panels have inputs and outputs to monitor and control the pre-alarms, evacuation signs, pressostats and discharge solenoids. They also allow for manual and automatic extinguishing agent release.
