The FF516/CON is a conventional fire alarm control panel (MFP series) with 16 zone circuits by default, expandable up to 28 zones. It features a microprocessor-based design housed in a rugged metal enclosure, with a lift-off lid and heavy-duty base connections. It is designed for conventional detection systems (not addressable), with support for standard detectors, call points, sounders, etc. It also includes 4 conventional sounder circuits, multiple fault / status indicators, support for repeaters, and space for battery backup (2 × 12 V 7 Ah). Key Features: Microprocessor based design; Robust metal enclosure c/w lift off lid & heavy-duty base connections; 16 conventional Zone circuits (expandable to 28); 4 conventional Sounder circuits; Separate indicators for open circuit, short circuit, head-out, sounder & battery/power supply faults; Non-latching class change sounder input, latching fire & non-latching fault outputs (via expansion loom); Zone selectable short circuit=fire facility (pre-1980 BS, no resistors in call points); Up to 8 two-wire Repeaters per Main panel; Multi-lingual variants (subject to quantities); Space for 2 x 12V 7Ah VRLA batteries; Compatible with virtually all known conventional fire detectors including C-TEC’s ActiV range; Designed to comply with BS 5839-4 (this panel is not compliant with EN54-2/4 and should NOT be used in new UK or European installations). Industrial Uses / Applications: Medium commercial buildings / offices; Retail outlets, shops, malls; Schools, hospitals, educational campuses; Warehouses with moderate fire detection needs; Support installations that may later expand in coverage; Facilities using conventional (non-addressable) fire systems.
