Feature-rich 2, 4 and 8 Zone conventional fire control panel is installer- and user-friendly
Released 16 April 2004

The new Horizon range of conventional fire control panels from Morley-IAS provides installers with the same "out the box, on the wall" benefits found in the company's addressable panels, while for users, the units incorporate many advanced features normally only found in larger systems.  Designed for use in schools, garages, retail units, community centres, doctors' surgeries, smaller hotels, guest houses and other commercial premises, Horizon is available in 2, 4 or 8 Zone versions.  It is optimised to take full advantage of the enhanced features available in the latest Horizon conventional detectors and devices from other approved manufacturers.

For the installer, an intuitive 'Quick Start Guide' is provided, enabling the system to be configured extremely quickly.  For the end user, Horizon offers sophisticated options designed to minimise the incidence of false alarms, such as coincidence detection, where two detectors in adjacent zones must go into alarm before the panel initiates the sounders.  Programmable delay to allow trained staff members to investigate the source of the indicated fire, and compatibility with the latest multi-criteria detectors, ensures that Horizon will detect an actual fire as quickly and reliably as possible without frequent false alarms.  As an incidental benefit for schools, a 'class change' input allows sounders to be activated to mark the end of lesson periods.

Horizon is housed in a flame retardant ABS enclosure, 318 x 356 x 96mm, fitted with top and rear cable entry knockouts.  2, 4 or 8 detector zones, two sounder zones, two configurable digital inputs and an auxiliary power output are provided.  An optional relay output card enables fire and fault signals from Horizon to be integrated with other systems installed in the premises.
