The FPA‑1000 Analog Addressable Fire Panels are a
scalable solution for fire detection. Protect your small
office with a single system or connect multiple panels
together as your needs grow. Networking capabilities
support the monitoring of up to 2,000 addressable
points in one system for campuses or other large
commercial environments.
The FPA‑1000 panels combine complete built-in Fire
Alarm Control Panel (FACP) equipment such as
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), Signaling Line
Circuits (SLCs), relays, power supply, Digital Alarm
Communicator Transmitter (DACT), and Ethernet
connection with expandability using the option bus or
plug‑in boards. The two integrated NACs can be
expanded with remote addressable NAC power
boosters and programmed with specific activation
patterns.
The standard control panel includes one SLC that
supports 254 addressable points (254 analog
detectors or modules, or 127 analog sounder bases in
combination with a suitable detector). The control
panel is easily expandable with the FPE‑1000‑SLC
Signaling Line Circuit Plug-in Module, doubling the
address points to 508.

The panel has a compact and solid metal housing with
a keyed lock and a removable dead front door to
access electronics. It features surface and semi-flush
mounting options. On the front of the panel, six light-
emitting diodes (LEDs) show Fire, Carbon Monoxide
(Gas) Alarm, Power, Supervisory, Silenced, and
Trouble conditions. The built‑in keypad can be used
for total system control and programming even when
wearing fireman gloves. In addition, a large 4‑line by
20‑character alphanumeric LCD display shows
programmed device point information. Four keys
enable Drill, Reset, Silence, and Acknowledge
functions.

Front panel programming provides an auto‑learn
function, allowing the installer to configure the system
quickly and easily in default mode. Using a local laptop
