NOTI-FIRE-NET, NFN

The NOTI-FIRE-NET™ intelligent fire alarm network interfaces multiple NOTIFIER intelligent fire alarm control panels together as one network.

Overview

NOTI-FIRE-NET™ is the interface which allows NOTIFIER Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels to form a network. Each local control panel (network node) maintains its own area of protection, while monitoring and controlling other areas (other network nodes). Local information is displayed at each network node. In areas such as a security office, where the entire network must be monitored, network annunciators are available.
