The APM3-XP provides a cost-effective means of local or remote annunciation of up to 20 Fire Alarm Zones
Annunciator Panel Module
Distributed Architecture
All FC-250 modules operate independently. There is no central operating system, no central point of failure. Processing power is distributed throughout the campus, increasing system survivability, eliminating home-run wiring costs while decreasing downtime due to system maintenance.
Highly Survivable
Since NAC’s and SLC’s are grouped on the same module and events are processed locally, ALM modules will perform local operations even if network communication has been severed. Distributed modules also minimize campus-wide downtime by restricting maintenance to the local module.
(UL/ULC Pending)
The APM3-XP is not IP based but rather operates on the SDM3-IP/VP XPansion bus. The XPansion bus provides an RS-485 circuit that can support APM3-XP modules as well as Conventional Zone Interface Modules (CZI3-XP).
