Panasonic 5000SPFI EBL512 G3 emergency lighting control panel

Product description

Panasonic EBL512 G3 5000S is an addressable fire alarm control panel whose COM loops connect detectors, manual call points, alarm devices and I/O units. MX series emergency luminaires and exit signs can also be connected to the same COM loops, in which case the control panel monitors their condition and controls them – for example, the red cross of an exit sign can be lit on the basis of a fire alarm to indicate a closed escape route. The 24 V supply line of the luminaires is provided by the MX Power Box power supply unit, which supplies the luminaires on up to four COM loops; MX luminaires require control panel software 2.10 or later.

Features

The control panel has four COM loops, each of which can connect up to 253 devices. The panel can be configured for 128, 256 or 512 alarm points, and the number can be increased on site. Each loop can have up to 128 short-circuit isolators, and the panel has its own isolators for the A and B directions of the loop. In addition, the panel has four monitored 24 V outputs, two programmable relay outputs, four programmable inputs and relay outputs for fire and fault transmission. The front panel includes the fire brigade panel, a graphic display and the operating panel.
