by AF 0317 g3 — March 19, 2010—Silent Knight by Honeywell has developed a 25-point fire alarm offering all the high-tech benefits of addressable technology at the cost of a conventional system, according to the company.

The IFP-25 fire alarm control panel and compatible HFS devices were introduced at the recent National Facility Management and Technology expo in Baltimore, Maryland.

A cost-effective, addressable fire protection solution is now available for applications where two-zone to five-zone conventional fire alarm systems have historically been installed. The addressable features of the IFP-25 include pin-point identification of alarm/trouble locations and false alarm prevention via detector drift compensation and automatic maintenance alerts.

Installation time-savers such as easy code-wheel addressed detectors, a JumpStart programming feature and a built-in programming browser to eliminate custom software requirements, simplify the process of commissioning an addressable system.

The IFP-25 supports any combination of the new addressable HFS detectors and modules that are economically priced and run on only a single loop of standard wire (not shielded or twisted pair), offering additional cost-savings.
