NFS2-8conventionalfire alarmpanels

systemsapplicationBeing designed and manufactured

to meet the European standards

EN54 parts 2 and 4, ensures that

the NFS2-8 is a high quality

product, which meets all safety,

environmental and fire regulations.

Weekly testing is very easy, simply

select the “Walk Test” function from

the front of the panel and it is a

one-man job.

In schools, nursing homes, shops,

B&B’s, etc an investigation time

before the premises are evacuated is

often required, if an alarm is raised

on the fire alarm panel. This

investigation time is to allow for

time to check whether the alarm

was a genuine fire or caused by

cigarette smoke, burnt toast,

hot works etc, thereby allowing

a correct decision, regarding

evacuation, to be made. This function

is provided through the “Day/Night

Mode” switching of the NFS2-8. This

can be done from either the front

of the panel or via one of the input

circuits, making it possible to link

this function to a key-switch or

security panel.

introductionThe NFS2-8 zone conventional fire

alarm panels have been developed

for both installers and end users

with efficiency in mind. They offer

a technically advanced range of

facilities and functions while

remaining easy to install, program

and operate. A full range of

conventional detectors, advanced

conventional detectors, beam

detectors, manual call points,

duct-mounting applications, audible

and visible devices complements

the NFS 2-8 series.

The NFS2-8 2, 4 or 8 zone

conventional fire alarm panels are

ideally suited for premises such as

offices, shop units, pubs, B&B’s,

clubs, small industrial units, nursing

homes, schools, etc offering a wide

range of benefits to installer and

end-users.

these conditions. Should a fire or

a fault be raised on the NFS2-8,

optional fire and fault relays are

available for interfacing to the

overall fire alarm system.

In schools it is very often desirable

to use the fire alarm bells for class

change notification. Either of the

two input circuits on the NFS2-8

can be programmed to perform

this function, from either a manual

push button or via the school

master clock.

In premises consisting of two or

more buildings, interlinking of

the fire alarm systems may cause

difficulties. Using the NFS2-8

throughout those premises makes

it very simple to interlink fire alarm

systems. Simply configure one of the

input zones on the NFS2-8 as non-

latching, connect the zone to the

other panel’s relay output and vice

versa. Job done.

As the NFS2-8 will work with a

wide range of detectors, the panel

is also ideally suited for retrofit,

especially if the installation is to be

In most premises an alarm raised

from a manual call point over-rides

any delay. This can be achieved by

configuring any input zones on the

NFS2-8 to manual, causing

immediate evacuation from a

manual call point.

Where shop units, industrial units

etc are part of a larger complex

and not covered by the overall fire

alarm system, the NFS2-8 provides

the ability to interface with

the overall fire alarm system. By

configuring two of the inputs as

Alert and Evacuate, gives the overall

fire alarm system the possibility of

switching the NFS2-8 to either of

phased. The panel can be replaced

and at a later stage, or in stages,

the devices may be upgraded. If a

site is being upgraded, attention

to new standards should be taken

into account, in order to bring the

installation up to date, although the

zone may be configured for short

circuit alarm for compatibility with

old manual call points.

If the premises are unmanned during

the weekend they will always be

protected. The NFS2-8 has space to

store batteries with a capacity of up

to 72 hours standby, providing fire

cover should the mains power fail

during this period. Should a fire

break out during this period, the

NFS2-8 also has the facility of

providing a supervised output to

an auto-dialler or fire routing

equipment, ensuring that either

personnel from the premises or the

fire brigade are notified.
