Application
The iO64 life safety system is a powerful intelligent solution for small
to mid-sized buildings. Advanced analog technology delivers the
benefits of flexible system installation, while a clean and easy-to-
operatate user interface makes panel operation and system mainte-
nance quick and intuitive.
The smart choice
Signature Series electronic addressing eliminates the tedium of
setting dipswitches, and automatic device mapping ensures that
each device resides on the system at its correct location. Mean-
while, innovative programming features allow the system designer
to customize powerful built-in features to precisely suit the needs
of the building owner.
Flexibility built right in
Two fully-programmable front panel switch/LED combinations pro-
vide an added measure of flexibility. Their slide-in labels take the
mystery out of custom applications, and present a clean finished
appearance.
Perfect for retrofits
The iO64 is particularly well-suited to retrofit applications. All
connections are made over standard wiring – no shielded cable
required. This means that in most situations existing wiring can be
used to upgrade a legacy control panel to iO-Series technology
without the expense or disruption of rewiring the entire building.
Signals with a difference
iO64 NACs are configurable to fully support the advanced signal-
ing technology of Edwards Genesis and Enhanced Integrity notifi-
cation appliances. These devices offer precision synchronization of
strobes to UL 1971 standards. For Genesis devices, enabling this
feature allows connected horns to be silenced while strobes on
the same two-wire circuit continue to flash until the panel is reset.
Clear-cut remote annunciation
Remote annunciation is a strong suit of the iO64. Up to eight an-
nunciators can be installed on a single system. Compatible annun-
ciators include a range of LED and LCD models that provide zone
or point annunciation, as well as common control capabilities.
The iO64 also supports graphic annunciation with optional graphic
annunicator interface modules. Each interface provides common
control, indicators, and LED drivers. Consult the Ordering Informa-
tion section for details.
A complete line of accessories
The iO64 life safety system is supported by a complete line of
intelligent detectors, modules and related equipment. Consult the
Ordering Information section for details.
