NFS2-8 conventional fire alarm control panel is user and installer friendly 
Released 2 July 2004

NOTIFIER Fire Systems' new NFS2-8 conventional fire control panel family is designed for applications such as offices, retail units, bars, restaurants, schools, nursing homes, small hotels and other similar commercial premises.  Designed to EN54 parts 2 and 8, the NFS2-8 2, 4 and 8 zone system incorporates much of the sophisticated functionality normally provided only by larger, addressable systems, giving increased protection for the building and its occupants.

The Day/Night mode delay switch gives trained staff time to investigate an alarm when the building is occupied; as an additional safety measure, operation of a manual call point instigates an immediate alarm at any time.  At night, the system can be set to initiate immediately both local and remote alarms.  In multi-building facilities, the NFS2-8 can be inter-linked with other independent systems to provide full campus-wide coverage; it can also be monitored by existing systems when a facility is extended.  As an additional benefit for schools, the digital outputs can be configured to allow the sounders to be activated to mark the end of lesson periods.  72 hour battery back up means that the fire protection system will remain operational if power to the premises is interrupted.  For the installer, the NFS2-8 offers compatibility with virtually all detectors available on the market, making it ideal for both new build and retrofit use.  A "Walk-Test" function makes commissioning the system and testing the individual detectors a simple one man job.
