BACnet® Link
BACnet interface to BMS
IP Network

Description
The BACnet Link enables up to 1000 compatible Potter fire panels to report to building management systems (BMS) using the BACnet over IP open protocol. The BACnet Link enables Potter to report panel and point status information to BACnet networks in markets such as: K-12 Schools, Colleges & Universities, Hospitality, Commercial Buildings, Data Centers, Government and Industrial Facilities. This supplementary interface allows many BMS systems (e.g. Tridium, Alerton, JCI Metasys®, and more) to display and respond to fire system activity while UL approved life safety functions are retained in the Potter fire alarm control panels.
