AM-8200N is a multi-microprocessor Fire Detection system suitable for plant configurations of a wide range of sizes. The system offers integrated fire detection solutions for many applications including hotels, commercial offices, healthcare environments, industrial and manufacturing plants.

TheAM-8200N represents not just a control panel but a very powerful advanced fire detection system using CanBus technology. This standard, originally designed for operation in the harshest industrial environments, makes the system highly resistant to external factors such as electrical disturbances and other sources of false alarms.

The system is certified in accordance with the relevant standards UNI EN 54-2, UNI EN 54-4, and system certification EN 54-13, ensuring a compliant solution as outlined in the Unified Code.

TheAM-8200N features the Advanced communication protocol to field devices, but each line can also be configured as CLIP compatible for full compatibility to older generation devices. Through the Advanced protocol, addressable devices are now able to operate more intelligently, such as: changing sound type and volume on sirens according to particular events, activating siren and beacon separately on the same physical device, and receiving and displaying data such as the battery level of wireless sensors on the control panel screen.

User Interface: The ergonomic user interface of the color LCD Touch display is designed so that every operation is easy and intuitive. The control panel has a 7 (800 x 480 with backlight), 256-color TFT touch display for entering control panel programming data and interacting with operators. All functions are available with access to the 4 password levels as defined by EN 54-2 standards. By means of dedicated buttons on the touch screen, there is simplified access to the following functions: Evacuation, Delay Reset, Buzzer Silence, Siren Silence/Reset, Event Reset.

Detection Lines: based on Notifier's proven Loop technology to connect devices in the field, but adds a new advanced protocol to share information. This digital protocol transfers much more information at high speed, yet retains the simplicity of being able to power and communicate with devices via a pair of wires. In its basic configuration, the control panel has 2 lines for addressing up to 159 detectors and 159 modules each.

Device addressing on the lines: Set via rotary-switches on the addressed devices. On lines programmed in CLIP mode, addresses from 1 ÷ 99 can be assigned. On lines programmed in ADVANCED mode, addresses range from 1 to 159. In an ADVANCED line, multiple modules (e.g., M721 with 2 inputs and 1 output) occupy only 1 Address of the 159 available and a few SUB-ADDRESSES, one for each module that makes up the device. The same module in a line in CLIP occupies 3 consecutive addresses of the 99 available for the modules. The maximum number of manageable sub-addresses for each LIB8200 (2 lines) is 700, which can be freely distributed over the two lines of the board.

Zones: They serve as a basic indication to identify the location of an event, as stated in EN 54-2. In the configuration of up to 4 lines the control unit makes 500 Zones available, in the other configurations, up to a maximum of 64 lines, 2000 zones can be configured. Up to 32 points can be associated with each zone.

Remote Displays: It is possible to connect up to 32 remote displays with color Touch model LCD-8200 to each control panel via an opto-isolated RS.485 two-wire serial line. Up to 16 of these terminals can be configured to display partial events of up to 64 zones (typically used as the floor or sector displays in Hotels and Hospitals) while 16 repeat all events of the entire system.

Main functions:
