Mircom’s Fire-Link3 offers a fast, clean and cost effective wireless fire alarm audible signaling solution for multi-residential buildings that are in need of a fire alarm audibility upgrade. In addition, Fire-Link3 is a wireless upgrade solution that installs new fire alarm output devices (strobes, horns, etc.) without the need to add wiring to the building. Fire-Link3 is the perfect retrofit solution.
Inter-device communications is accomplished wirelessly using an extremely robust and secure mesh network technology. The two main system components are the Zone Controller (ZC) and the Wireless Input-Output unit (WIO). The Zone Controllers can be daisy chained, and installed one per floor in the building. Zone Controllers can be connected using either addressable loops or NAC (bell) circuits to the Fire Panel.
The Wireless Input/Output Unit is a wireless base and is designed to be connected to Mircom’s and other’s third party notification appliances.
