  • Up to 32 fire zones
  • DIL switch selection of twin-wire/conventional format*
  • 2 open collector outputs
  • 2 volt-free contacts
  • 28V output

  • 2 inputs (class change and alert)
  • Up to 6 sounder circuits
  • Spare zones can be used as sounder circuits
  • Common fire output and relay can be programmed to cancel on silence
  • Modular expansion zone cards available
  • XL system includes repeater panel.

*DIL switch selection of twin-wire not available with QuickZone XL 16-32 zone fire panel.

  • Simple, clear LED indication of fire, system status and zone status
  • One-button fault diagnosis
  • Colour-coded keypad to manage re-sound, silence, reset, test, disable, mute and test lamps
  • Simple 3-level programming accessible by keyswitch or keycode and DIL
  • Disablements removed with one code
  • Factory reset option
  • 3-button action to disable zones
  • Buzzer mute in fault condition
  • In test mode, tests can be run with or without sounders
  • False alarm management
  • 40 event log (XL only)
  • Full technical support
  • 3-year warranty.

To maximise configuration options, QuickZone allows individual zones to have specific programmed options including:

  • Set as latching or non-latching
  • Short circuit = Fire for monitoring
  • Specified for MTL5061 I.S barrier compatibility
  • Compatible with schottky or zener diode bases
  • False alarm management modes
  • Set delays to outputs
  • Silent mode for indication purposes – visual and audible alarm at panel but no sounder operation
  • Detector removal monitoring can be turned off for older non-approved detectors (non-compliant to EN54.)
  • Twin wire zone can be programmed to zone of origin continuous ringing. Other zones can be set to pulsing, silence or continuous.
  • Two independent programmable inputs – class change and alert input
  • Either or both inputs can be programmed for remote evacuation, remote silence alarm, remote reset
  • Inputs programmable for indication purposes so the zone 12 LED or fault LED will illuminate
  • Two additional programmable inputs (remote reset & remote silence alarms), are available on the 16-32 zone panels.
  • Can be set to latching
  • Fault outputs can be inverted
  • Aux relays and all outputs, including sounders, are independently programmable:
    • On, off or pulsing
    • Programmed to a dedicated zone
    • Programmed with a custom response to silence alarm, evacuate, class change input, alert input or during zone delay.
  • Other sounders can be switched off, pulsing or continuous
  • Output delays can be applied to aux outputs and sounders (for example investigation delay for false alarm management).

QuickZone False Alarm Management Compliance with EN54-2

QuickZone false alarm management functions according to one of three different modes as described in EN54-2.

QuickZone supports mode A while Quickzone XL supports all three modes.

False alarm management can be selected for individual zones on both panels.

Mode A

The first alarm is not indicated and the sounders do not activate. The panel resets and rechecks the zone within 15-30 seconds, if an alarm is detected the panel activates a full fire condition. Any new alarm from the same or a different zone within 30 minutes also activates a full fire condition.

Mode B

The first alarm will indicate at the panel but the sounders do not activate. The panel resets and rechecks the zone within a programmable time period (1 – 4 minutes). If an alarm is detected the panel activates a full fire condition. Any new alarm from the same or a different zone within a second programmable time period of 5 to 30 minutes will also activate a full fire condition unless the reset button is pressed.

Mode C

The first alarm will indicate at the panel but the sounders do not activate. The panel will not activate a full fire condition unless a second device is activated in the same or a different zone.
