The FireNET Plus 1127 series control panel from Hochiki America Corp., 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 on-board 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 such as 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 zone-monitoring module.
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. Add to this Hochiki's reputation for high quality and dedicated service, and you have an exceptional product with performance and value.
