Overview

The design philosophy behind FIREQUEST Multi-Loop fire panels is to incorporate all the advanced features available in today's fire sensors and loop devices and to integrate them with a set of system features that gives unrivalled flexibility. A drawing of a typical system configuration can be downloaded from the Document Download page in the Technical Support section.

As the standard feature list is very extensive, applications from single loop nursing homes to multi-loop shopping centres can be satisfied with the basic product, with no extra hidden costs.

On-site time is minimised with a comprehensive set of configuration, installation and commissioning tools, common to all FIREQUEST panels.

FIREQUEST Multi-Loop panels are available in a number of packaging options, including steel enclosures and lockable glazed outer doors that can be finished in wide range of materials.

Special front panel membrane artworks can also be produced to give Fire System Companies their own branding.

Networking

For future expansion or more complex systems, Multi-Loop FIREQUEST panels can be connected together using SUPERNET. In fact any mix of panels from the FIREQUEST family can be connected together on the network.

SUPERNET is a Peer-to-Peer Networking system that can provide site-wide data monitoring solutions for both Fire and Plant Alarm I/O.

In it's simplest form the SUPERNET interface can be built into the FIREQUEST Multi-Loop panels allowing up to 32 panels to be interconnected, with information about any panel and device available to all panels on the network.

SUPERNET can be expanded to include PC Graphics Displays, Mimics, SUPERNET Controllers for remote control and display, and Data Multiplexers for plant wide I/O.

Installation and Commissioning

Installing and commissioning the Multi-Loop FIREQUEST Panels could not be easier, having been designed to keep on site time to a minimum.

Off-line configuration of the system can be achieved back at the office using the BACKFIRE PC Configuration program. This allows the configuration of all functions including the loop devices, their 40 character messages and cause and effect logic. The configuration data can then be simply downloaded into the panel, when on site.

The 'Quick Commission' feature is an Auto-Learn function that automatically configures all the loop devices and is a useful tool for testing partially or fully wired loops before full commissioning.

The FIREQUEST Multi-Loop panels also have sophisticated built in 'Engineering Loop Diagnostic Tests' for identifying difficult loop or device faults.
