  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction Mircom's FA-300 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based fire panel. The FA-300 provides a maximum of 12 supervised Class B or A (Style B or D) Initiating circuits, and maximum four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating circuits. All circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and indicating circuits are supervised for shorts.
