Description

Product Description

The AT-F321 Automatic Extinguisher Control Panel combines a conventional fire alarm control panel and gaseous extinguishing control panel in one compact, metal enclosure. It provides four detection zones, each of which can participate in the decision to release the extinguishing agent.

The panel supports staged alarm operation (first- and second-stage), supervised NAC (sounder/bell) circuits and extinguishant release outputs with programmable time delay up to 75 seconds in 5-second steps. Voltage-free changeover relays are provided for Fire, Local Fire, Fault, First Stage, Second Stage and Extract, allowing easy integration with external equipment such as extract fans, external indicators and building management systems.

Designed in accordance with EN54-2 (Control and Indicating Equipment), EN54-4 (Power Supply Equipment) and EN12094-1 (Electrical automatic control and delay devices for gas extinguishing systems), the AT-F321 includes a wide-range mains power supply (90–270 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and integrated charger for two 12 V sealed lead-acid batteries up to 7 Ah for standby operation.

With supervised detection, monitored inputs and sounder circuits using end-of-line resistors, plus a two-wire RS-485 bus for up to 32 status or ancillary units, the AT-F321 is an excellent choice for small and medium-sized gas extinguishing and clean agent systems.
