Features Flex 402 Two-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel Description g2402ph1.jpg The Gamewell Flex 402 Fire Alarm Control Panel brings the latest in microprocessor technology to conventional fire controls. The Flex 402 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 402 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. • Two Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs). • One Style Y (Class B) Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). • 24 VDC. • NAC synchronization features: – Provides synchronization of standard ANSI audible signals as required by NFPA 72 (3-8.4.1.2.3). – Provides synchronization of ADA compliant strobes per NFPA 72 (4-4.4.1). – Selectable for System Sensor, Wheelock, and Gentex protocols. – Selective Silence feature allows manual silencing of horns while strobes continue to flash on the same NAC. • Silent or Audible Walk Test operation mode commanded from the front keypad, with automatic return to normal after one hour of inactivity. • Alarm verification selectable per zone. • Each zone may be programmed for supervisory or fire; each zone has separate red and yellow LEDs. • Disable switches provided for each zone. • NACs programmable for: Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence, Strobe Synchronization, Selective Silence (horn/strobe mute), Temporal or Steady signal, Silenceable or Nonsilenceable. • Form-C Alarm and Trouble relays. • 3.0 amps total usable current. • Optional dress panel (P/N DP-FLEX). • Piezo sounder for alarm, trouble, supervisory, and maintenance. • Control buttons: ACK (Acknowledge), Alarm Silence, Reset, Walktest, Zone Enable/Disable (one per zone). • LED indicators: Fire Alarm (one per zone), Supervisory (one per zone), Trouble (one per zone), Maintenance (one per zone), AC Power, NAC Disable, Zone Disable, NAC Fault, System Trouble, Power Trouble, Walktest, Alarm Silence, Earth Fault (on circuit board), Battery Fault (on circuit board), Charger Fault (on circuit board). Listings Listings and approvals below apply to the basic Flex 402 panel. In some cases, certain modules may not be listed by certain approval agencies, or listing may be in process. Consult factory for latest listing status. • The supervisory LED (per zone) provides a warning if a detector senses temperatures approaching freezing. • UL Listed: file S521. • Special test protocol and LED indication allow a quick test of all detectors — without a ladder. • MEA approved: file 366-04-E. • Electronic heat-sensing element provides thermal detection in addition to photoelectronic smoke detection.
