AMX1 System Example 2

In this real-life case history the client had a large 18 panel analogue addressable fire network system. With several thousand fire detectors on a 24-hour operation site AMX1 was used to provide greatly enhanced fire information over that given by the two-line LCD on the master fire panel. However, the client also had standalone fire panels in some separate buildings. Unable to easily extend the fire system to these remote buildings because of the road between them, he utilised Drax’s Ethernet connectivity solutions over his existing IT infrastructure. This allowed the alarm display and control of the systems to be integrated into one system.

The client also wished to record and manage alarms from a number of different critical systems. Using Drax’s TCP/IP Ethernet nodes he was able to connect these alarms back to AMX1 over the IT system, avoiding expensive cable installation costs.

Finally the system operation was further enhanced by providing four AMX1 systems in an AMX group connected to the IT network and located at strategic positions around the site. Full monitoring and control is available at all locations.
