NFW-50X/XI Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels

General
The FireWarden-50X (NFW-50X) and FireWarden-50XI (NFW-50XI)
are the latest intelligent addressable fire alarm control panels (FACPs)
within the FireWarden Series and are direct replacements for the Fire-
Warden-50 (NFW-50). The NFW-50X Series supports up to 50
addressable devices in any combination of detectors or modules. With
an extensive list of powerful features, the NFW-50X Series programs
just like FireWarden-100 products, yet fits into applications previously
served only by conventional panels.
The NFW-50X features a pre-installed IPOTS-COM, a dual technology
(POTS and IP) communicator. The POTS transmits system status
(alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the public
switched telephone network. The IP communicator’s internet monitor-
ing capability sends alarm signals over the Internet saving the monthly
cost of two dedicated business telephone lines. Although not required,
the secondary telephone line may be retained providing backup com-
munication over the public switched telephone line. Optional cellular
reporting is available using an HW-TG7F Series Communicators or
the CLSS Pathway.
Remote and local programming of the control panel is possible using
the FS-Tools Upload/Download utility. Programming databases can be
• Waterflow selection per module point
uploaded/downloaded via the panel’s USB port (and USB cable) or via
an ethernet connection using the IPOTS-COM communicator(NFW- • Alarm verification selection per detector point
