The FIREQUEST standard panel (1-2 loops) is 300h x 420w x 150d It is possible to specify an additional enclosure, which has the same dimensions, with a steel lockable door. This can be used to house larger batteries if required, or to take a SUPERNET Interface (if required) The panel has a quiescent current as follows:
The panels have internal battery capacity as follows:
The standard panel is fitted with a 2-line x 40-character LCD. An optional Vacuum Fluorescent Display can be specified if required (FQ/VFD), at additional cost. Loop Sounders (Apollo Protocol) The following relates to the Apollo XP95 protocol base-sounder:
The FIREQUEST is compatible with all Apollo XP95 and Discovery devices, including the wall-mounting High Power Loop Sounder, the Multi Sensor, the Beam Detector, Radio Module and the Flame Detector. The FIREQUEST range can drive up to 16 Repeaters, on a 2-wire data link. It is usual for the Repeaters to be powered from the Fire Panel, as they draw only 35mA, and operate at any voltage between 11v and 30v. If so, then 2 x 2-core data cable is usually adequate. The total Repeater Data Loop length is limited to 2km. Repeaters are available as standard with LCD plus controls (including Silence, Reset, Evacuate) (FQR/LC), or with 32 Zone LED's (FQPR/FC). The size is 400w x 240h x 120d. Options include adding a Printer (FQR/PRT) but in this case, the Repeater Housing size must increase to 300h (FQR/XH). All of the enclosures are available with Flush frames and Glazed doors, painted grey-white (RAL9002), with stainless steel or brass as special finishes. The FIREQUEST panel is designed to operate with a 230v.a.c (± 20%) 50Hz mains supply. The Charger is designed to meet EN54 Pt 4, and has battery-temperature sensing. The standard panel has the following facilities:
Inputs (default settings): In addition, any of the programmable Inputs can be programmed to be the equivalent of:
All FIREQUEST panels can be networked using the SUPERNET Peer-To-Peer Network. This involves adding a SUPERNET Module to each panel. There are three types of SUPERNET Module. Every panel needs at least a SUPERNET Interface (SNINT/1), which is usually fitted inside the panel (in an Extended Enclosure). It is possible to fit one as a separately-boxed item as long as it is within 50 feet of the Fire panel. Every Network System needs as a minimum one SUPERNET Controller (SNCON/1). This is a separately-boxed module with LCD/keypad, which allows Network maintenance and fault finding. This replaces the SNINT/1 for the panel it is connected to. (PSS are offering a lower price for this item at present - call for details). The third option is where there is a network of FIREQUEST panels, and at one or more panels, a Repeater is needed which shows alarms from more than the local panel. In this case, a SUPERNET Node (SNODE/1) is required which is usually fitted inside the panel (in an Extended Enclosure). It is possible to fit one as a separately-boxed item as long as it is within 50 feet of the Fire panel. The Repeater Data Loop is connected to the SUPERNET Node, and can then be programmed to display alarms from any or all FIREQUEST panels. This also allows the Repeater Zone LED's to be programmed to operate for individual devices or groups of devices. It is not possible to list every facility as there are so many. These are some of the more unique facilities:
