Nittan Europe, one of the leading companies in the European fire protection industry, has launched the evo+ range of fire alarm control panels for its Evolution analogue addressable fire detection range.
Fully compliant with BS EN54 part 2 and 4, the evo+ panels have been designed to be flexible and powerful, using the latest dual flash-based microprocessor technology. They come with 20 programmable zonal LEDs with slide-in labels and 25 system LEDs for information purposes, four programmable function buttons with LED indication for confirmation of operation and two onboard sounder circuits.
evo+ panels are fully programmable on-site via the in-built keypad and high resolution, high contrast graphical LCD display (configurable for most languages). Simple ‘select & click’ programming for engineer configuration and end user operation has been incorporated for maximum ease of use, along with installer friendly Auto-learn, Loop Detection and On-board Scope facility for ease of commissioning and fault finding.
Alternatively, programming can be undertaking using Windows based PC-NeT configuration software. This user-friendly PC software features a number of different programmes, including configuration, service and virtual panel tools to allow the flexibility of the equipment to be fully explored. A dedicated USB and RS232 Serial Port on the panels enable direct PC or modem connection.
Nittan evo+ panels support up to 200 fire zones by default, but can easily expanded by up to 2000 zones via the Ad-NeT peer-to-peer network. Simply adding a network card allows the panel to communicate with any other evo+ fire panel, remote terminal, or network peripheral such as ipGatewayT, BMS or graphical interface. The network operates as a true peer-to-peer system and can be configured in a fault tolerant loop or radial format.
As you would expect from Nittan, the evo+ panels are very hard wearing, being contained in a robust metal enclosure, with removable equipment chassis and plug-in connectors for simple fixing and cable termination.
There are three panels in the new evo+ range: the evo+5101 with a single loop driver card; the evo+5200 1-2 loop; and the evo+5400 1-4 loop. They are suitable for a wide range of applications from small to large, complex, multi-area systems.
evo+ panels are compatible with the full Evolution fire detection range available exclusively from Nittan. Evolution uses micro processor technology in the sensors and sophisticated detection algorithms, combining extremely reliable fire detection together with a very high degree of protection against unwanted false alarms. It’s advanced, highly flexible protocol, is not only uniquely resistant to external interference, but also allows for substantial amounts of information to be transmitted at high speed.
The Nittan Group has been at the forefront of the international fire protection industry since 1954 and has sales, R&D and manufacturing bases in four countries, including the UK. The company continuously innovates and strives for exceptional quality products that meet the highest of standards.
