Analogue Addressable Fire Control Panel

Syncro AS

Syncro AS is an analogue addressable fire control panel, available in either one or two detection loops. It combines compact and practical styling with the programming power and connectivity normally associated with much larger systems.

Being a multi-protocol panel, Syncro AS supports Apollo, Argus Vega and Hochiki detection, making it ideal for small and medium sites that require advanced fire sensing and evacuation options. Fully scalable and networked to become part of much larger systems if the need arises, it provides a solution for any size of installation.

Introduction

Ease of UseWith its large graphical display and ergonomic button and indicator layout, the Syncro AS control panel is simple and straightforward to understand for installers, commissioning engineers and end users alike.

Easy to InstallFor installers, we have designed the panel to be easy to install. The elegant and simple construction enables the chassis to be completely dismantled by removing just two screws. The outer cover can also be detached by removing two hinge pins making first fix installation straightforward, and enabling the sensitive electronic parts to be stored safely for re-fitting at the commissioning stage.

Flexibility Using leading edge microprocessors, its electronics provide a flexible control system with high reliability and integrity.

Zone Indicators 500 zones displayed on the screen with the first 16 zones shown by the indicator lights.

Connectivity Syncro AS connects seamlessly to other Syncro AS, or Syncro multi-loop panels and repeaters via the fully fault tolerant and robust Syncro network.

The Syncro AS supports all Syncro serial bus peripherals such as View repeaters, 16 channel I/O boards, Relay boards, Sounder boards and Conventional Zone boards to provide an additional 512, fully-programmable points.

Power SupplyAn integral 3 Amp power supply and temperature compensated battery charger provides ample power for the two, 1 Amp rated standard sounder outputs, loop powered sounders and other devices.
