N16 Fire Alarm Control Panel

EFFICIENT, SCALABLE, CONNECTED

General
The NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ Series Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs)
bring the latest technology to life safety. Fire emergency detection and
evacuation are extremely critical to life safety. With the N16e and N16x
panels, NOTIFIER INSPIRE Series offers a scalable platform to meet
virtually any size application.
NOTIFIER INSPIRE Series FACPs feature an intuitive 10" color touch-
screen display. This display is color coded with system and status
information. Users are presented with vital information that is easy to
read and navigate.
Offered in a standard preconfigured enclosure, the N16e comes with
one Signaling Line Module (SLM) to support 318 intelligent address-
able devices and a power supply (PMB) to support four NACs and two
auxiliary outputs. Panels can be configured with just a few devices for
small building applications or expanded via two open module slots.
Add up to two additional Signaling Line Modules (SLM-318) expanding
capacity to 954 intelligent addressable devices on a total of three Sig-
naling Line Circuit (SLC) loops, or network with many devices to
protect a large campus or a high-rise office block. Simply add addi- N16e

Temperature and Humidity Ranges: This system meets NFPA
requirements for operation at 0 – 49°C/32 – 120°F and at a relative
humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F
± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and
the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme
temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that
this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a
normal room temperature of 15 – 27°C/60 – 80°F.
