Product Description 

The 

FW2 MERLIN PRO

 is a programmable standalone 2 way wireless transceiver 

with a small LCD display for easy programming and status indication. 

The unit can accept up to 32 2way wireless detectors and 64 wireless keys, four 
wireless units for each one of the outputs. 

As soon as a wireless unit is learned into the system, any detection signal from the 
unit automatically triggers an output on the 

FW2 MERLIN PRO

. This output depends 

on which group and zone the device is assigned to. 

The 

FW2 MERLIN PRO

 has eight outputs (output no.8 is a dry contact) that can be 

connected to Zone inputs on any wired Control Panel unit, or other suitable device. 

The 

FW2 MERLIN PRO

 is protected with a tamper switch that indicates when its 

service cover is opened.  

FW2 MERLIN PRO

 will also indicate if a tamper switch is 

activated on one of the detectors.
