FirePoint 2, list of features
FirePoint-2 is a fire-alarm control panel that was designed after many years
of experience with other fire-alarm equipment. It was designed to be easier,
faster and cheaper to install, simple to maintain and more reliable in use. We
now know that we have exceeded even our own original targets and the FirePoint-2
is an alarm system worthy of consideration for almost every installation. It provides
nearly all of the features of very expensive analogue addressable systems but
its installation cost is comparable to (and often much lower) than the most basic
conventional equipment.
Now it is no longer necessary for most installers to become acquainted with,
and keep spare parts for, many different pieces of equipment from different suppliers.
FirePoint-2 does the job and does it well.
