The facia depicts each monitored point with an engraved colour symbol and two LED’s (light emitting diode), indicating NORMAL and ALARM conditions. The status of 16 inputs can be monitored. These inputs can be individually configured for ‘normally open’ or ‘normally closed’ switches. Any voltage-free contact switch can be used including pressure, magnetic, proximity and PIR switches.,

The input switches are connected to the Master panel which then transmits the status of these switches to the Slave (mimic) panel/s. In the occurrence of one or more switches being a long distance from the Master, but close to a Slave panel, these switches can be connected to that Slave panel. This Slave panel will then become a ‘SLAVE PANEL WITH INPUTS’ and must be configured as such.

Using ‘normally closed’ switches ensure a ‘Fail Safe’ condition with the alarm being activated should the cable be cut or damaged. This system can also be coupled to other existing alarm systems via our interface module. During an alarm condition an audible buzzer is activated which can be manually muted. The visual alarm LED’s will however continue to indicate a fault until such time as the fault’s rectified. The audible alarm is re-activated should an additional alarm condition occur. A maximum of 15 Slave (mimic) panels can be placed up to 1 Km from the Master panel, linked via a serial interface 2-core cable. All panels have TEST and MUTE buttons to test all LED’s and to mute the buzzer during alarm conditions.
