Fire alarm and extinguishing control panels

FMZ 5000 base unit

FMZ 5000 – A fire alarm panel range for all safety concepts
Each FMZ 5000 model is a highly modern unit combining
fire alarm and extinguishing control in a fully modular
design with freely programmable controls to suit virtually
any project requirement.

Planning, operation and service made easy

The same hardware modules are used for both fire
detection systems and extinguishing systems, in three
different base unit layouts for wall-mounted installation or
in 19" free-standing cabinets. The MxSysCon configuration
program with full graphical user interface is used to adapt
those hardware modules to the specific project, in the office
or on site any time right up to the moment of startup.

Optimal value for money – you only buy what you

currently need
Changes in building use, in fire alarm controls or to your
fire protection system can be implemented easily in the
FMZ 5000 by replacing / adding / removing plug-in modules
and adapting the configuration. Rewiring within the fire alarm
panel is not required.

State of the art technology

- All modern functions of today's fire alarm and extinguishing control panels are combined in a single device:

• Clear display of alarms and other signals and easy operation in every
situation with the large graphical display screen and user menu interface.

• Loop technology for detection / control / monitoring with all modern features
and any number of branches - including explosion hazard areas.

• Operation of detectors for rough industrial environments in a wide range of operating

voltages for all fire characteristics (such as heat - smoke - flame - CO fire gas etc.),
also directly connected without couplers on the Loop.

• Up to 32 fire alarm and display/operating panels can be redundantly loop networked.

• Communication with building management systems or other control stations

via open interfaces or field bus protocols.

• The freely programmable user interface meets all requirements for the display
of messages and the controls to be executed in any logical and time combination.

• Redundant layout for fire detection and control of multi-zone extinguishing systems of any type.

• Easy adaptation to changing conditions of use and tasks through plug-in modules and graphical configuration.
