TORONTO, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mircom Group of Companies is proud to announce the launch of Mircom's new FX-3500 Intelligent Fire Alarm & Suppression Systems. The solutions will be featured at the NFPA Conference & Expo, June 9-12, 2014 at Mandalay Bay Convention Centre in Las Vegas.
The FX-3500 Series includes powerful and intelligent fire alarm control units, which support Advanced Protocol (AP) as well as Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) devices. The FX-3500 control units are UL 864 Rev 9 and ULC S527-2011 listed for fire control and releasing service.
The FX-3500 Series is recommended for both new and retrofit special-hazard, critical-infrastructure suppression, and special agent applications. Programming versatility makes the FX-3500 Series the ideal choice for dependable fire detection, signaling and protection in industrial, commercial and institutional buildings.
FX-3500 control units are compact in size, yet powerful enough to deliver complex programming requirements. The units are fully expandable, provide up to three addressable Signal Line Circuits (SLCs) and connect up to 954 addressable devices or points. Moreover, FX-3500 systems can be operational with minimal set up time and can be configured using an onsite laptop or through a remote PC via an on-board modem.
"The FX-3500 Series is unique in the marketplace. It supports the new AP digital protocol, greatly increasing point capacity up to 318 devices per loop, while still supporting retrofit solutions through backward compatibility with CLIP devices," said David Andersen, Product Manager, Mircom Group of Companies.
When designing the FX-3500 Series, Mircom Group listened to the voice of customers and integrated requested features such as an intelligent releasing system, built-in dialer, local USB, and remote programming capabilities. The solution line-up is sure to meet the multi-faceted needs of customers.
"The FX-3500 Series is ideal for small to medium size applications, allowing Mircom Group to tailor a cost effective solution to meet market needs for smaller intelligent solutions, where our FX-2000 or FleX-Net solutions may be excessive for the project requirements. Leveraging the readily available CLIP and AP protocol devices that are used on many of our larger panels as well will allow customers to streamline their inventory with ready to use peripherals for all their project needs," said Andersen.
