At the backbone of the FireNET™ Analog Addressable system is the FireNET™ control panel itself. Utilizing Hochiki’s patented Digital Communication Protocol (DCP), it allows for a very robust intelligent communication with other analog addressable products. An RS-485 bus provides communication to the panel network, while the RS-232 interface allows the convenience of programming via a PC. The panel will support up to 127 devices per loop (of any combination), which includes sensors and control modules. The Loop Explorer Windows® based software interface provides the installer with fingertip access to installation programming and diagnostic tools.
