B5-EPI-ASP-GS alarm scrolling panel for the Netherlands
Via the
Extended Bus
(EPI-BUS) by means of a patch cable and an
8-pin RJ45 plug, the Dutch fire brigade panel can be connected to
any SecuriFire MIC11 / MIC711 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-ASP-GS is mounted either on the door of the Securi-
Fire or immediately next to a remote SecuriFire indication and con-
trol 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-ASP-GS can be found in the
Technical Description T 811 090.
