Description

The control panel forms the heart of the security system and interfaces the various devices that constitute the systems. The tasks of a control panel for a combined fire alarm and intruder detection system are as follows: 1. Implementing **-hour fire zones a. Monitoring fire sensors (smoke detectors, heat detectors, etc) for alarm detection b. Monitoring the wiring of fire zones for open and short circuits c. Switching on hooters for annunciation of fire d. Display of status on the panel e. Remote signaling by telephone, repeaters, potential free contacts, data communication channels, etc 2. Implementing intruder detection zones a. Monitoring intruder detection sensors (magnetic contacts, motion detectors, glass break sensors, etc) for alarm detection b. Monitoring the wiring for open and short circuits c. Implementation of timers for entry, exit, delay, etc d. Arm / disarm facility e. Switching on hooters for annunciation of intrusion f. Display of status on the panel g. Remote signaling by telephone, repeaters, potential free contacts, data communication channels, etc FEATURES OF VIGIFIRE 1.
