FirePoint-2 repeater unit
The repeater unit (click here for image) shows the same information as the main control panel, but at a remote location.
Repeats all fault and fire messages
Box and livery match the main panel
Simple connection to main panel
Can be located up to at least 30 metres from the main panel
In some circumstances you need to put the alarm control panel in one location but have the information from the panel available somewhere else. For example, the control panel might need to be installed in the main reception area of an office complex but the information might need to be duplicated in the hut of the night-watchman. Another example might be in a school where the alarm control panel needs to be near the school office but the information also needs to be available in the caretaker's house. In these and similar situations, FirePoint-2 gives you a simple solution.
A FirePoint-2 repeater panel looks very similar to the standard fire alarm control panel. It requires its own electricity supply and can be located up to 30 metres from the main control panel. The two panels can be connected using ordinary four-core telephone cable.
The repeater panel has same lamps and text display as the main control panel. The lamps and text display will simply repeat whatever the main panel is showing.
A repeater unit is not the same as a zone-extender. The repeater unit simply duplicates the information seen at the main control panel while a zone-extender allows you to use up-to ten zones instead of only four. It is possible to have both repeaters and extenders added to the same control panel.
