Page 10: Firefinder Description
FIREFINDER SERIES II INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING & OPERATION FireFinder Description The following description does not relate to specific cabinets as the size of each cabinet will vary with the amount of hardware fitted. The heart of the FireFinder Series II consists of two boards collectively known as the Controller. These boards are the Main Board and the CPU board. - Page 11 COMMISSIONING & OPERATION The FireFinder Series II has an internal ASPI (Ampac Serial Peripheral Interface) serial bus. This serial bus provides interfacing to the Brigade /PSU Monitor Board and if required up to eight (8) Sounder Board/s. FireFinder Series II has a second serial interface that connects to ancillary boards these can be used to control and monitor field plant equipment.
