Fike TwinflexPro² 8 Zone Fire Alarm Panel (Black) (505-0008-B)

The Fike TwinflexPro² 8 zone fire alarm control panel (505-0008-B) in a black housing is the control panel for the Fike Twinflex intelligent 2-wire fire alarm system. The system uses a conventional cabling format but is classed as analogue non-addressable, and allows detectors and sounders to be connected on the same pair of wires, making it well suited to smaller applications such as shops, offices, schools, nursing homes, B&Bs, museums and restaurants. The 4 and 8 zone panels can also be fitted with the optional conventional zone card to accept conventional devices on zones 5 to 8.

Key features

• Intelligent 2-wire system: detectors, call points and sounders share one 2-core screened cable per zone
• Up to 32 Twinflex devices per zone
• Identifies and displays whether an alarm came from a smoke detector, heat detector or manual call point
• Monitors each zone for detector head removal, device fault, end-of-line fault and open or short circuit
• 4 line x 20 character LCD display
• Checkpoint alarm confirmation to reduce false alarms; operating a call point overrides any delays or confirmation
• Day/night detection mode per zone and 3 enhanced test modes
• 500 event log
• 2 monitored outputs configurable as conventional sounder circuits or 24V monitored relay circuits
• Volt-free common fire and common fault relays
• Two multifunction latching/non-latching inputs and one monitored programmable input (e.g. class change, remote fire)
• Dual-purpose flush or surface housing
• Programmable from the keypad or with TwinflexPro OSP PC software
• LPCB approved
