Annunciator Panel Module

The APM3-XP provides a cost-effective means of local or remote annunciation of up to 20 Fire Alarm Zones

Distributed Architecture

All FC-250 modules operate independently. There is no central operating system, no central point of failure. Processing power is distributed throughout the campus, increasing system survivability, eliminating home-run wiring costs while decreasing downtime due to system maintenance.

Highly Survivable

Since NAC’s and SLC’s are grouped on the same module and events are processed locally, ALM modules will perform local operations even if network communication has been severed. Distributed modules also minimize campus-wide downtime by restricting maintenance to the local module.

(UL/ULC Pending)

The APM3-XP is not IP based but rather operates on the SDM3-IP/VP XPansion bus. The XPansion bus provides an RS-485 circuit that can support APM3-XP modules as well as Conventional Zone Interface Modules (CZI3-XP).

  • APM3-XP – Annunciator Panel Module
  • The XPansion bus supports remote APM3-XP or CZI3-XP modules
  • The APM3-XP module mounts directly on the swing panel door of FxIP™ Fire Control cabinet
  • Remote, Standalone APM’s provide switches for remote Trouble / Alarm Acknowledge
  • Signal Silence, Reset, Alarm Signal Activation and Visual Indicator Test (RA-220-XP)
  • The APM3-XP provides for 20 Zones of Alarm and Trouble annunciation for all defined zones on the front of the FACP or remotely
  • Dual rotary switch addressing
  • 24Vdc input power with 40Vdc over voltage protection
  • 12Vdc output power

The contractor shall furnish and install, where indicated on the plans, Annunciator Panel Modules (APM3-XP) to provide for Alarm and Trouble annunciation of all defined zones on the front of the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Each zone shall provide LED’s to annunciate an Alarm or Trouble Condition. Unless otherwise available via the FACP, the APM3-XP shall provide Manual Control Switches for Trouble and Alarm Acknowledgement, Signal Silence, Reset, Alarm Signal Activation and Visual Indicator Testing. The APM3-XP module shall communicate via the serial interface to the main Fire Alarm control. The addressable serial interface module must be UL/ULC listed and UL/ULC listed as compatible with Harding network fire controls. The addressable serial interface device shall be Harding part numbers APM3-XP, RA-220-XP.
