The Global Fire Equipment (GFE) OCTO+ is a compact analogue addressable fire alarm control panel from the Chameleon range. This version is fitted for 2 loops. It is certified to EN 54-2 and EN 54-4 and suits small to large buildings, or sites with several areas, that need detailed cause-and-effect programming.
It works with GFE and ZEOS addressable loop devices and GFE ancillary modules. It can also be networked with other GFE Chameleon panels over RS422 or fibre-optic links, with Ethernet interfaces as a further option.
Key features
- Addressable panel expandable from 1 to 4 loops; surface or recessed mounting
- Chameleon peer-to-peer, multi-master networking for up to 32 panels, networkable with G-One, GEKKO and NODE+ panels
- Repeater connection via RS422, fibre optic or TCP/IP
- Up to 95 VULCAN 2 addressable ultra-low-current base sounders per loop (32 address limit); 32 individually programmable sounder addresses
- Full self-addressing device support; available with the ZEOS digital protocol
- 384 programmable zones, 512 sounder groups and 512 I/O groups, with 16 integrated fire zone LEDs
- 2 fire relays (change-over), 1 fault relay (NC) and 2 individually programmable conventional alarm outputs
- Remote access via GFE ODYSSEY graphics software and BMS integration via Modbus
- Programmed on site from the keypad or with CHAMELEON CONNECTOR PC software over USB
- Multiple menu-selectable languages and installer-friendly auto-learn
