1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Fighter Fire Panel. The panel's main design goal was low
cost (using conventional detectors) high modularity and flexible, easy installation with
the use of a 4 wire system interconnect bus.
The Fighter panel is an advanced multipurpose analogue conventional fire alarm panel.
It is expandable by means of modules that interconnect with 4 wire bus system. This
allows the panel to be expanded up to 72 fire alarm zones, 72 relays and 8 keyboards.
It can also be used for fire extinguishing applications.
The panel is fully customizable via a user interface from the keyboards. All parameters
are displayed with hierarchical menus in 3 different access levels in an easy to under
-
stand and use manner. The system general status can be easily viewed at a glance
from the led indicators on the keypads and the user can retrieve more information from
the LCD character display and perform actions using the keyboard.
The layout and operation is designed with the user in mind and meant to be user friend
-
ly. The menus are designed to be logical and easily accessable.
