Protec Algo-Tec 6500 Fire Alarm Control Panel (1-4 Loop)

Protec Algo-Tec 6500 Fire Alarm Control Panel (1-4 Loop)

The Protec Algo-Tec™ 6500 is a high specification, feature rich, economical, interactive digital addressable fire detection and alarm system ideally suited for small, medium and large sized buildings and sites. The control panel is designed and manufactured by Protec and complies to the latest EN54-2 & EN54-4. The control panel is available for surface or recess mounting with an aesthetically pleasing moulded polycarbonate hinged door finished in storm grey.

Scalable in every aspect, the 6500 system offers tailor made engineered solutions for all applications, from single panel systems to large multi panel networks. Modular design backed by powerful cause and effect programming enables 6500 systems to be configured exactly to the needs of any commercial or industrial site.

Secure Network:

The innovative redundant peer to peer network is a high-speed data transfer, fail safe, fault tolerant communication channel allowing up to 64 Algo-Tec™ 6500 Fire alarm panels to operate as though they are a single distributed fire system and complies with BS5839-1. No single network fault can disable the system and in the event of multiple faults, each panel will function independently. The network can be wired using copper or fibre optic connections.

Loops:

Each 6500 control panel is equipped with 1, 2 or 4 high capacity Algo-Tec™ 6000PLUS digital addressable data loops, with up to 200 addresses per loop, totalling 800 addressable devices per panel, 51,200 addressable devices network wide and compliant with EN54 pt2 clause 13.7.

Interactive:

The Algo-Tec™ 6000PLUS protocol evaluates the data of each fire sensor and is able to learn from the information received. This may simply be to recognise that a sensor is becoming contaminated or in a dirty environment and to automatically adjust the alarm threshold to compensate for the background levels (Threshold Compensation).

More complex Algo-Tec™ functions include the ability to discriminate between certain fire and non-fire conditions, filtering out certain environmental stimuli, such as steam from a hotel bathroom, and increasing the sensitivity of a sensor when an increase in temperature is detected. The net effect of the interaction between the sensors and the Algo-Tec™ decision making is enhanced performance, through immunity to false alarms and more responsive fire detection.
