Gamewell-FCI FLEX4 Conventional fire alarm control panel Datasheet

Flex 4 & Flex 8
Description
The Gamewell Flex 4 and Flex 8 Fire Alarm Control Panels
are designed for small to medium commercial, residential, institutional and industrial occupancies. Simple and easy configuration of the microprocessor-based controls is accomplished via DIP switches.
Superior product flexibility allows compliance with the specific
job requirements at each installation. Two standard
configurations are available. The Flex 4 includes 4 Class B
(Style B) Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs), which are easily
programmed and wired to perform as 2 Class A (Style D)
circuits. For signaling an alarm condition, the Flex 4 provides
2 Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) that may be wired for
Class A/B (Style Z/Y) performance and are rated for loads up
to 1.7 Amperes each.
With twice the circuit capacity, the Flex 8 provides 8 Class B
IDCs, which are easily configurable as 4 Class A circuits and
4 Class A/B NACs. Each NAC is also rated for a maximum of
1.7 Amps, with total notification appliance power for the Flex
8 at 5 Amps maximum. A Flex 4 may be expanded in the field
to provide the circuit capacity of a Flex 8 by installing a Circuit
Expander Module (CEM.) The CEM provides an additional 4
Class B (2 Class A) IDCs and 2 Class A or B NACs.
All initiating circuits of the Flex 4 and Flex 8 are factory set to
operate for Class B (Style B) wiring performance. Through
field programming, all circuits can easily be converted to Class
A (Style D) circuits.
An integral 6 Amp power supply is included in both products
to provide system power, 4-wire resettable smoke power (24
VDC @ 100 mA) and up to 5 Amps of notification appliance
power.
Programming
The Flex 4 and Flex 8 use simple DIP switches for
programming IDCs and NACs, as well as enabling and
disabling of system functions such as signal silence, fire drill
and auxiliary disconnect. Notification circuits may be
configured for audible or visual devices and silenceable or
non-silenceable operation. The Flex 4 and Flex 8 allow for
alarm verification on all Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs).
Predefined IDCs may be optionally configured for Waterflow
(zone 3 [Flex 4] or zones 3 & 7 [Flex 8]) or Latching/NonLatching Supervisory (zone 4 [Flex 4] or zones 4 & 8 [Flex 8]).
