Fire alarm control panel F220®

analogaddressableprogrammable

Product Overview
The Pertronic F220 Extinguishing Agent Release System provides automatic and manual control for one or more fire suppression systems. The solution integrates the Pertronic F220 analogue addressable fire panel with the ARC2 Agent Release Controller. A single F220 panel may host multiple ARC2 controllers; each ARC2 supervises and controls one suppression system.

Control Station Types

• Agent Control Station (ACS2): keyboard and display, Time-to-Discharge countdown, status/fault LEDs, local buzzer mute, Manual and Auto Mode controls.
• Local Control Station (LCS2): similar to ACS2 without fault LEDs for simplified local operation.

Operation and Manual Intervention
The system supports automatic or manual agent release. Manual Mode can prevent release at any time, including after automatic initiation. Each control station includes a lift-flap Manual Call Point (MCP) to trigger release manually.

AV Signs and Cabinets
Indoor and weatherproof audio-visual (AV) signs are available with selectable messages, audible signals and an optional high-visibility countdown timer. F220 panels are supplied in multiple cabinet sizes and styles, including slim and weatherproof options.
