Fire Alarm Repeater Panels

A fire alarm repeater panel shows the status of the main control panel at another point in the building, such as a secondary entrance or a security office. Depending on the model, a repeater can be passive, showing alarms and faults only, or fully functional, allowing authorised users to silence, reset and evacuate from the remote location.

This range covers repeater panels for both conventional and addressable systems from brands including C-TEC, Kentec, Zeta, HAES, Fike and Global Fire. Many are specific to a single manufacturer's panels or protocol, so check the product title and description to confirm compatibility with your main panel.

Choosing a repeater

• Match the main panel: repeaters usually need to be the same brand and series as the control panel they connect to.
• Function: decide whether you need a display-only repeater or one with full controls.
• Power: check whether the repeater needs its own power supply and standby batteries; see batteries for standby options.

Return to the main fire alarm panels range, or compare conventional and addressable control panels. Repeater positions and wiring should be specified by a competent person as part of the system design to BS 5839-1.
