Features Flex 404 Four-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel g2404ph1.jpg Description The Gamewell Flex 404 Fire Alarm Control Panel brings the latest in microprocessor technology to conventional fire controls. The Flex 404 is compatible with the new i³ ™ smoke detectors from System Sensor, and provides advanced features including drift compensation, maintenance alert, and freeze warning. Automatic synchronization of audio/visual devices is provided, selectable for three manufacturers’ protocols. The NAC protocol includes the ability, using a single pair of wires, to silence audible devices while strobes continue to flash. The Flex 404 is also compatible with conventional input devices such as twoand four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact devices. Operation The activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device will: activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an indicating LED, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm relay, and operate an optional module which notifies a remote station or initiates an auxiliary control function. i³™ Technology Features • Drift compensation automatically adjusts detector sensitivity and increases resistance to false alarms caused by dust accumulation. • The maintenance alert LEDs (per zone) warn of excessive dirt accumulation, preventing false alarms. • Detector sensitivity is automatically measured. The twice-yearly test requirements of NFPA 72 (7-3.2.1) are met without using a ladder or test meter. • The wireless handheld sensitivity meter eliminates the need for voltmeters, magnets, or a physical connection to the detector. The reader displays sensitivity in terms of percent-per-foot obscuration and provides text status indication. • The supervisory LED (per zone) provides a warning if a detector senses temperatures approaching freezing. • Special test protocol and LED indication allow a quick test of all detectors — without a ladder. • Electronic heat-sensing element provides thermal detection in addition to photoelectronic smoke detection.
