FireNET Plus
Available from Hochiki America Corp
The FireNETâ„¢ Plus 1127 series control panel is an
analog addressable fire alarm panel with build options
containing 1 or 2 SLC loops, a Digital Alarm
Communicator/ Transmitter (DACT), and an RS-485
bus for network communication. Each SLC loop
supports 127 devices of any combination (sensors or
modules), and 127 analog sounder bases, for a
possible total of 254 points per loop. Communication
between devices is accomplished by use of standard
cable (shielded or twisted pair is not required). Each
panel includes a 4-amp power supply and has 2 onboard
NAC circuits. The RS-485 bus provides
communication to the panel network while another
RS-485 bus provides communication for peripheral
devices. The RS-232 interface allows the convenience
of programming via a PC. The system will support a
variety of Hochiki devices; photo, ion and heat
sensors, which contain a unique, patented sensor
design incorporating automatic drift compensation and
day/night sensitivity modes. Additional devices
include contact monitors, relay controllers, supervised
auxiliary output and short circuit isolator modules. In
addition, interfaces to conventional detection systems
can be established by using a conventional zonemonitoring
module. The Loop Explorer Windows®
Software interface provides the installer with fingertip
access to installation programming and diagnostic
tools. An Auto Learn feature offers the convenience
for quick start applications.
