The NFS2-640 is a high-capacity, networked intelligent fire alarm control panel. It boasts the largest single-unit capacity in the Notifier ONYX series and is designed to serve as a central control panel or peer node in large distributed networks.
Product Series: Part of Notifier's top-of-the-line ONYX® series.
Core Role: Serves as a central command center in large-scale projects or as a master in a single building with a large number of device points, managing and coordinating thousands of fire alarm devices.
Key Features and Technical Advantages
1. Unparalleled Single-Unit Capacity
This is the most prominent feature of the NFS2-640, enabling it to reduce the number of panels required and simplify system architecture in large projects.
Total Device Points: Supports up to 6,350 intelligent device points. This capacity is double that of the NFS2-3030 (3,180 points) and four times that of the NFS-320 (1,590 points).
SLC Loops: Expandable to up to 25 signal loops. Each loop supports up to 254 intelligent devices.
Networking Capabilities: Serving as the backbone of the Noti-Fire-Net network, it can connect up to 32 ONYX series panels, theoretically managing over 50,000 devices on a single network.
2. Top-tier Performance and Reliability
FlashScan® and CLIP™ Multi-Protocol Support:
Supports FlashScan® (high-speed protocol) and CLIP (traditional protocol), which can be mixed on the same loop.
FlashScan® provides the fastest system response and status scanning speed.
VERIFY® Intelligent Sensing: Utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze smoke density changes, effectively distinguishing between real fires and interference sources, minimizing false alarms.
Strong Redundancy and Reliability:
Dual CPU Architecture: Both the main control board and SLC loop cards utilize a dual-processor design, ensuring the highest level of operational reliability.
Ring Loop Wiring (Style 7): Supports Class A wiring, providing the highest level of line fault tolerance.
Redundant Network: Supports building redundant Noti-Fire-Net networks (fiber or twisted pair), ensuring uninterrupted network communications.
3. Powerful Network and Central Control Capabilities
Central Command Center: In large networks, the NFS2-640 is often designated as the "master control panel," centrally managing and controlling all other node panels on the network.
Integration with Graphical Systems: Seamlessly connects to advanced graphical display systems such as the Notifier FW-500, providing a complete building floor plan with dynamic icon displays at the fire control center.
