Firewatch 1001

The Firewatch 1001 is an economical, flexible yet highly sophisticated analogue addressable fire alarm control panel.

Available in three variants - one loop 16 zone, one loop 32 zone and two loop 32 zone - its key strengths are its low cost and its ability to be networked with up to 8 master panels (any mix) per network and 4 repeater panels per master.

SPECIFICATION

• Compatible with XP95, Discovery and Xplorer protocols
• Designed to comply with EN54 parts 2 & 4
• Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits
• Two programmable inputs
• A fault output relay and three programmable relay outputs with volt free changeover contacts
• A selection of zone dependency functions (type A, B or C) as detailed below:-

• Type A - If there is an alarm from a detector, the panel will look for a confirmatory alarm from the same or another detector in the same zone before a full alarm is established. If there is no confirmatory alarm, the first alarm will automatically reset
• Type B - As type A except the confirmatory signal must be from another detector in the same zone
• Type C - As type A except the confirmatory signal may also be from another zone, and the first alarm will not automatically reset

• A day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) function (engineer programmable changes include detector sensitivity (high/low) and zone dependency settings
• An investigation delay period function (programmable for length of time, which zone(s) it applies to and whether or not it operates in day/night mode)
• Individual sensitivity settings for each device
• A phased evacuation facility
• An alarm counter to record the number of times the panel has been in alarm
• Powerful short circuit protected loop drivers, capable of supporting up to 40 loop powered 10mA sounders per loop
• An integral EN54-4 switch mode PSU rated @ 185-260V a.c. 50/60Hz (1.4A on 16 zone panel, 3A on 32 zone panel)
• Adjustable contamination levels
• Earth fault monitoring
• Push button access code or keyswitch entry to access levels 2 and 3 (dependent on the model purchased)
• 40 characters of custom text per device
• 500 event monitoring
• Comprehensive test, maintenance and commissioning functions
• An intuitive Windows based uploaddownload PC program (part no. FW1001/SOFTWARE) for system configuration
