The FireHunter 4-zone panel is designed for use particularly in applications such as shopping precincts, business parks and other multi-occupancy sites. The ability to ‘network’ conventional panels gives the benefits of stand-alone operation and reliability, while ensuring full system integration is possible.
The FireHunter panel is a 4-zone conventional (zonal) control panel. It monitors 4 zones of detection, and has 4 outputs. The panel can also be fitted with an interface module, which allows it to be connected to an addressable detection loop, and to become part of an integrated system. The FireHunter panel can form part of an integrated system, either as a stand alone panel linked to an Apollo addressable system or as part of a PSS Supernet network. The FireHunter requires that a small networking module be fitted inside the panel, which with the appropriate firmware can communicate directly to an Apollo XP95 loop or PSS Supernet Multiplexer network. If connected to an Apollo network it uses 4 addresses, each one representing a zone, with each of the programmable outputs being individually controlled by the ‘landlords system’. If connected to a PSS Multiplexer network, it behaves as if it were a 3-channel Multiplexer. In the event of a failure of communications, the FireHunter will revert to stand-alone operation, with the outputs operating in response to an alarm as normal. Installation and Commissioning Installing and commissioning the FireHunter is made easy, with a variety of selectable settings, and the many repeat outputs ensures that the panel can fit many diverse applications. The panel is fitted with a number of links and indicators to assist the Installation/Service Engineer. Fault Monitoring includes Earth Fault, and the fault LED's can indicate whether the fault is an open- or short-circuit, to speed up fault-finding. Built into the software is an Input Isolate facility, which can help prevent accidental discharges |
