Fire Alarm Control panel(2/4/8/16Zones)

8-Zone EN54 Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel – RS485 Networking, 3.0A Power, Battery Backup Ready

Product Overview

The 8-Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel is a fully EN54-certified life safety solution, compliant with EN54 Parts 2 & 4, designed for low- to mid-sized commercial and industrial applications. Combining sophisticated fire detection capabilities with simple operation and efficient installation, this panel delivers exceptional value for installers and building owners alike. Supporting up to 8 conventional input zones, built-in notification appliance circuits, and flexible RS485 networking, it provides a scalable and reliable foundation for any fire alarm system.

EN54 Compliance & Full System Compatibility

Certified to EN54 Parts 2 (Control and Indicating Equipment) and Part 4 (Power Supply Equipment), this fire alarm control panel guarantees dependable performance in emergency conditions. Every component – including optical, ionization, photoelectric, photoelectric-thermal, and heat detectors – has been engineered for seamless integration. This ensures that the control panel, smoke detectors, interface devices, and ancillary components are 100% compatible, supporting the full system functionality without the risk of interoperability issues.

8 Conventional Input Zones with Flexible Detection

The panel features 8 Class B (Style B) initiating device circuits (IDCs) , each accepting both two-wire smoke detectors and any normally-open contact devices such as manual call points, heat detectors, and beam detectors. Additionally, 2 supervisory inputs with DC12V output allow easy connection of security devices like door contacts or motion sensors – creating a unified safety and security solution in a single panel.

Notification Circuits & Relay Outputs

Equipped with 1 notification appliance circuit (NAC) featuring built-in synchronization for ANSI 3.41 and Gentex protocols, the panel ensures that horns and strobes operate in perfect harmony – a critical requirement for modern fire alarm systems. The NAC is programmable as silenceable or non-silenceable. For external signaling and building management integration, the panel provides dedicated Form-A alarm, trouble, and supervisory relays (rated 2.0A @ 30VDC/VAC resistive), ensuring clear status indication at all times.

Power Supply & Battery Backup

The panel includes a 2 amp power supply (system total up to 3.0A) and supports two 12V, 4Ah backup batteries housed within the durable 420mm × 170mm × 180mm metal enclosure. The built-in charger supports batteries up to 18AH (larger units require an external box), with a charging circuit of 27.6VDC @ 0.8A for float charging. Both resettable 24VDC (for four-wire detectors) and non-resettable 24VDC outputs are provided, maximizing installation flexibility.

RS485 Networking & Advanced Programmability

A key differentiator is the RS485 communication port, enabling seamless connection to additional panels for expanded coverage in larger facilities – the panel can operate independently or as part of a networked system. Advanced programming options include:

· Automatic or manual mode selection

· Zone (IDC) disable/enable for maintenance or testing

· NAC disable/enable for sound output control

· Zone short circuit behavior configurable as "Alarm" or "Fault" mode

These features make the panel exceptionally adaptable to site-specific requirements.

Conclusion

The 8-Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel offers EN54-certified protection, flexible zone configuration, RS485 expandability, and intuitive programmability – all within a compact, cost-effective metal enclosure. Ideal for schools, hotels, offices, retail spaces, and small industrial facilities, this panel delivers the reliability and advanced features that modern fire safety demands.
