The NFS2-640E is a high-capacity, networked, intelligent fire alarm control panel and the flagship product in Notifier's ONYX series. The "E" stands for "Export" or "European," indicating that this product is designed specifically for export markets outside of North America, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Product Series: Part of Notifier's top-tier ONYX® series.
Core Role: Serves as the core control unit for mega-projects (such as airports, hospital complexes, and industrial parks), managing and coordinating thousands of fire alarm devices.
Key Features and Technical Advantages
1. Same Top-Notch Performance as the NFS2-640
First, it's important to understand that the NFS2-640E inherits all the flagship features of the standard NFS2-640:
Unparalleled Single-Unit Capacity: Supports up to 6,350 intelligent device points.
Massive SLC Loops: Expandable to up to 25 signal loops.
Powerful Network Capabilities: Can serve as the backbone of a Noti-Fire-Net network, connecting up to 32 ONYX series panels.
Advanced Protocols: Supports both FlashScan® and CLIP protocols.
VERIFY® Intelligent Sense: Effectively reduces false alarms.
Top-tier Reliability: Includes dual-CPU architecture, loop cabling (Style 7), and redundant network support.
2. Design Optimized for the Export Market (Key Differentiation)
This is the core difference between the NFS2-640E and the standard NFS2-640, primarily intended for the North American market:
Main Power Voltage:
The NFS2-640E is typically designed to directly support 220-240V AC, 50Hz mains input, the standard voltage in Europe and most of the world.
The North American version of the NFS2-640 typically defaults to 120V AC.
Regional Certifications:
The NFS2-640E will obtain certifications specific to its intended sales region, such as the EU CE mark, and comply with relevant European standards (e.g., EN54).
Default Configuration and Packaging:
Factory default settings, documentation language, and power supply specifications may be optimized for export markets.
Hardware Configuration and Appearance
The hardware architecture is identical to the standard NFS2-640, utilizing a large, modular chassis design to accommodate its numerous SLC loop cards and power modules. A typical system includes:
Control Chassis: A large, modular chassis.
Control Board (CPU): The core of the system.
SLC Loop Card: A pluggable module used to expand signal loops.
Power Supply: Supports both main power (AC 220-240V) and backup power (battery).
Display Panel: Typically equipped with an LCD-160 or larger display unit.
