IFS-2600 Fire Indicator Panel
Section 2 - System Overview
2.1. Overview
The overall intent of a fire protection system is to provide warning should smoke or a fire be detected.
The systems can be configured to alert occupants of the building, advise fire brigades and take necessary
action to either extinguish the fire and/or stop the fire from spreading. The fire indicator panel is an
essential part of a building fire protection systems, it must therefore be properly and carefully installed,
configured and maintained.
2.2. Features
The IFS-2600 Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) has many custom designed components along with
microprocessor and circuitry, ensuring greater reliability and suppression from external sources.
The FIP uses both a liquid crystal display and conventional LED displays for fast and accurate display of
system status and changing events.
A custom designed membrane keypad is used together with the liquid crystal display and LED indicators
to provide fast, efficient and simple modes of operation. The keypad also provides the required flexibility
for the programming of many user configurable options of this FIP. The FIP can be configured on-site
without the need of expensive programmers or components. These configured options are retained by
the FIP even if the power is totally disconnected.
A serial printer can also be connected if required. The printer can be used to output programming
information for ease of modification, for safekeeping and to assist in the commissioning of the installation.
The IFS-2600 uses serial chain mimic outputs which significantly saves time and costs of cabling to mimic
panels.
A door holder power supply is incorporated into the system for the release of smoke and fire doors on
alarm (Optional transformer may be used).
IFS-2600 is available in a standard 8-zone configuration and can be upwards expandable to its fully
expanded state as required. IFS-2600 in its fully expanded state can;
• Monitor 64 detection zones
• Control 64 optional "mapped" relay outputs
• Output to a serial printer
• Output serially to a mimic panel (Max seven panels)
• Control up to 30 door holders
• Interface as required to any Australian Fire Brigade
IFS-2600 has been designed to be functional, flexible and reliable whilst maintaining a user-friendly
environment.
