Overview
The AFP-400 is a modular, intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with an extensive list of
powerful features. The CPU module, power supply module, and cabinet combine to create a
complete fire control system for most applications such as commercial, residential and industrial
buildings. Optional modules mount to the chassis to provide additional output circuits.
Unlike conventional fire control panels, the AFP-300/400 intelligently communicates with each
detector and Input/Output module on the entire system. Thus providing accurate information as
to the exact point of alarm and the ability to operate specific outputs using programmable logic
functions. The method of communication with field devices is a high-speed proprietary protocol
capable of supporting up to 99 detectors and 99 modules per two-wire loop.
The AFP-300 panel is capable of 1 loop and the AFP-400 is capable of 2 loops. Each of the
panels can also accommodate up to 10 Annunciators, each can provide 32 x fully
programmable LED indications, 16 x single pushbutton functions, 8 x relay outputs, remote LCD
displays etc.
These systems due to their immense flexibility require a firm understanding of the total
operation of the system for their correct operation. Please ensure that the following document is
read in its entirety before making any attempt to operate the system.
Passwords
As the program in the system is critical to the correct operation during fire alarm conditions, it is
protected from modification by a five-digit password. All other features are available without
password protection.
Please ensure the password is recorded and stored in a safe place as it remains unique and
your key to future system modification.
