The COMPACT-PLUS is a high-performance fire alarm control panel designed for use within the Vigilon range of fire detection and alarm systems. Its compact footprint and robust design make it ideal for small to medium-sized installations requiring reliable fire alarm control.
Part of the Vigilon range, the COMPACT-PLUS supports up to two 2Km loops with 200 devices per loop, and integrates seamlessly with the Vigilon 3217 protocol. Compatible with S-Quad and S-Cubed sensor families, it offers full EN54-4 compliance and secure networked operation with up to 31 panels.
This panel delivers key outcomes including:
- Up to 200 devices per loop reduces the number of panels needed on multi-zone installs.
- Secure network support enables large-scale installations with up to 31 panels across 1.2Km.
- 24-hour battery standby and 0.5-hour alarm duration ensure reliable operation during power failure.
Certifications and Compliance:
- Fully compliant with EN54-2:1997+A1:2006 and EN54-4:1997+A1:2002+A2:2006.
- CE and RoHS certified for European market compliance.
- Supports tokenised device labels extending label length to 72 characters for enhanced device identification.
Key Features Include:
- 8-line LCD display with multi-colour LED indicators for local status.
- Programmable access levels and menu-driven setup for flexible configuration.
- Event logs with historic and fire logs for detailed incident tracking.
- Configurable relays with up to 10-minute delay for external control.
- Clean contact outputs for external equipment control.
- Lockable front door for security and flush/surface mounting options with rear/top cable entry.
Applications:
- Office blocks
- Schools and universities
- Care homes
- Hospitals
- Retail premises
- Industrial sites
- Mixed-use developments
