B5-EPI-FPC-GS Swiss fire brigade panel
Via the
Extended Bus
(EPI-BUS) by means of a patch cable and
an 8-pin RJ45 plug, the Swiss fire brigade panel can be connected
to the B5-MIC11 or B6-MIC11 SecuriFire mounting main indica-
tion and control map as well as to the B5-MMI-FIP and B5-MMI-
IPS devices.
Additional EPI devices can be connected to the second RJ45.
The B5-EPI-FPC-GS is mounted either on the door of the Securi-
Fire or immediately next to a remote SecuriFire indication and
control map.
Via the hex coding switch you can set one of the three possible
EPI-BUS addresses. For each MMI-BUS participant with an EPI-
BUS interface, up to three EPI devices can be connected.
More information about the B5-EPI-FPC-GS can be found in the
Technical Description T 811 118.
