Mircom FA-1000 Series Fire Alarm Control Units

Product Description

Mircom's FA-1000 Series Microprocessor Based Fire Alarm Control Panels are Multi-Zone units designed for maximum flexibility and easy installation and operation. Fully configurable from the front panel using push buttons and DIP switches, the FA-1000 Series enables the user to configure the system to meet their specific requirements. With a large capacity of supervised Class A (Style D) or Class B (Style B) Initiating Circuits and supervised Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) Indicating Circuits, the FA-1000 Series is designed to meet virtually all applications.

The FA-1000 Series consists of a Main Fire Alarm Chassis which houses and controls all other modules. Additional modules may be installed to configure the system to meet any requirements that the user may have. The FA-1000 Series allows for additional Indicating Circuit, Initiating Circuit and Relay modules to be added to the system. In addition, it allows for optional modules such as the UDACT-300A Digital Communicator and the PR-300 Polarity Reversal/City Tie Module.

Equipped with Configuration DIP Switches on the Main Display Module, the FA-1000 Series Fire Alarm Control Panels are configured through a combination of DIP switch and button settings. Through this configuration method, the user can define the system as a Single Stage or Two Stage operation, as well as perform various functions such as a One Man Walk Test.
