For projects where flexibility is needed, Micom’s FleX-Net™ FX-4017-12N is a powerful multi-protocol solution.
The FleX-Net FX-4017-12N Fire Alarm Control Panel is designed to meet virtually any application of detection, control, notification, and emergency communications. Features such as fire detection & alarm, audio/voice evacuation, BACnet, Boolean logic, networking and graphical workstation support allow this modular solution to accommodate projects from the simplest systems up to the most complex solutions.
• FleX-Net FX-4017-12N Fire Alarm Control Panel supports multiple intelligent protocols:
– MIX-4000 Devices
– Advanced Protocol (AP)
– Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP)
• Multiple User Interface Options including:
– 80 characters or 960 characters backlit LCD with the user-friendly menu;
– LED displays adders
– Up to 7 remote annunciators per node.
• Multiple languages are supported including English, French, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The base panel includes:
- Main Processor Board with built-in Network card interface, Voice Evacuation System Interface, and IP Port for OpenGN Workstation or BMS Integration.
- Four (4) Style Z/Y (Class A/B) Notification Appliance
Circuits
- RS485/RS232/Ethernet Communication Ports
- Software Features:
- Boolean Logic Engine for complex sequences of Operations
- Storage and Management for up to three configuration versions for phased commissioning
- Audio Message Sequencer
- Built-in BACnet for BMS System Integration
- Built-in Webserver for Remote Event Notification
Networking Features
The network configuration allows multiple FleX-Net 4000N Series control panels to be connected using supervised Class A/B circuits to expand the available SLCs, input circuits, visual indication zones, programmable notification appliance circuits, relay outputs and monitor points in the application. The network interface module creates a robust peer-to-peer network via a proprietary protocol that ensures network segments operate independently in case of network impairment. The high baud rate of the network allows for multiplexing of control, audio, and telephony communications over a single copper or fiber interface using advanced compression algorithms. Twisted-Pair Copper, Single-Mode Fiber & Multi-Mode Fiber networking is supported.
