Cooper Addressable Fire Alarm Panels Brochure
This brochure provides information about Cooper addressable fire alarm panels from Eaton.
Introduction
Eaton, formerly known as Cooper, manufactures a variety of addressable fire alarm panels suitable for small to large installations. Addressable fire alarm panels allow for two-way communication between a control panel and each device in the system. When a fire alarm is triggered, these intelligent systems can pinpoint the exact device that has been activated. This is unlike conventional fire alarm systems, which only indicate that an alarm has been activated within a particular zone. Addressable panels offer greater flexibility and control and are often easier to maintain.
Cooper Addressable Fire Alarm Panel Models
Eaton offers several Cooper addressable fire alarm panels:
- CF2000: This entry-level panel is suitable for small to medium-sized buildings, such as warehouses and office buildings. It has a graphic display with a menu-driven user interface and is configurable as a one or two-loop panel.
- CF1100/CF1200: Available in one-loop (CF1100) or two-loop (CF1200) configurations, these panels are suitable for small to medium-sized projects. They feature a touch screen user interface and flexible cause and effect programming capabilities.
- CF3000: The CF3000 is a high-specification panel that is available in two or four-loop configurations. It can operate as a standalone unit or be networked with up to 126 other Eaton addressable control panels. The CF3000 series is suitable for a diverse range of projects and building types, from small to large.
Features and Benefits of Addressable Fire Alarm Panels
Features and benefits of addressable panels vary depending on the model. However, common features include:
- Soft Addressing: Soft addressing allows devices to be programmed electronically rather than manually. This eliminates the potential for errors that can occur with manual addressing.
- Network Capability: Many Cooper Addressable panels can be networked, allowing them to communicate with each other and share information. This allows for the creation of large, distributed fire alarm systems.
- User-Friendly Interface: Many Cooper Addressable panels feature touch screen user interfaces and are menu-driven, making them easy to operate.
- Cause and Effect Programming: Cause and effect programming allows for the customization of the panel’s response to different events. This provides greater flexibility and control over the system.
