Notifier ONYX Series Manual

General
The NFS-640 intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of
the ONYX™ Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER.
As a stand-alone small-to-large system, or as a large net-
work, the ONYX™ Series of products meets virtually every
application requirement.
Designed with modularity and for ease of system planning,
the NFS-640 can be configured with just a few devices for
small building applications, or for a large campus or high-
rise application. Simply add additional peripheral equipment
to suit the application.
