Mircom FX-3318 Single Loop Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel

Description

Mircom's FX-3318 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel is an intelligent addressable multi-zoned panel offering exceptional value without compromising the features needed for small to medium job applications. The FX-3318 is shipped pre-assembled with all main components, including the main board, power supply, transformer, and main display, housed within a red enclosure.

A built-in dialer is included to communicate panel status to a remote central monitoring station using two dedicated phone lines. It supports both SIA and Contact ID protocols. Up to seven annunciators can be added with enclosure options in red, white, or NEW stainless steel.

The panel features one built-in signaling line circuit (SLC). With Mircom's Advanced Protocol (AP), a superior group polling method and an interrupt feature allow for a faster response to alarms. The AP or Advanced Protocol supports greater system capacity with up to 318 devices in AP mode and offers legacy CLIP support for up to 198 devices.

The FX-3318 has four Power Limited Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) NAC circuits. NAC circuits can be configured as silenceable signal, non-silenceable signal, silenceable strobes, non-silenceable strobes, or relay output. The audible signal can be Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time. Sync strobe protocols from major manufacturers are supported.

The built-in trim ring accommodates both retrofits and new installations, reducing installation time with semi-flush or surface mountable options. The panel is UL, 9th edition listed and has COA and CSFM listings.

Features
