Analog Addressable Fire Panels

General Notes
1.1
Short Description
This document covers two control panel versions: the original FPA-1000-UL Compact Fire
Panel and the new release, the FPA-1000-V2 Analog Addressable Fire Panel. These FPA-1000
Fire Panels are advanced analog addressable control panels for small to large facilities in
residential, commercial or public building applications.
The FPA-1000 control panels combine complete built-in Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
equipment such as Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs),
relays, power supply, Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) and Ethernet
connection with the expandability through the Option Bus or plug-in boards. The control
panels have two integrated NACs that can be expanded with remote addressable NAC power
boosters. These circuits can be programmed with specific activation patterns.
The FPA-1000-V2 control panels can be interconnected for peer-to-peer communication using
Networking Cards. This allows up to eight FPA-1000-V2 control panels to act as a single group
in a network in which all interconnected control panels act as one panel.
The standard control panel supports one Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) for up to 254 detectors
and modules, or up to 127 analog sounder bases in combination with a suitable detector, for
a total of 254 addressable device capacity per SLC. The control panel is easily expandable
with the FPE-1000-SLC Signaling Line Circuit Plug-in Module doubling the address points.
On the front of the panel, six light-emitting diodes (LEDs) show fire alarm, gas alarm, power,
supervisory, silence and trouble conditions. The built-in keypad can be used for total system
control and programming. In addition, a large 4-line by 20-character alphanumeric LCD display
shows programmed device point information. Four keys enable acknowledge, reset, silence,
and drill functions.
The FPA-1000 control panels enable various programming approaches:

Version Naming of the FPA-1000 Software
The software version of the FPA-1000 Analog Addressable Fire Panels is displayed on the
panel menu and Web page, in the format x.xx (for example: Version 1.02). The version 2.xx
software runs on both the FPA-1000-UL Compact Fire Panel and the FPA-1000-V2 Analog
Addressable Fire Panel, but the FPA-1000-UL control panel cannot be used in a network even
with 2.xx software and an installed Networking Card.
