Max Hybrid 12 to 60 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel

The Agni FACP-MAX Hybrid is a micropocessor-based conventional fire alarm contorl panel built for industrial and commercial buildings. It watches every zone continuously, runs on 230 V AC with a 24 V DC battery backup, and networks with other panels over RS-485.

Product Overview

Conventional fire alarm control panel built for continuous duty

The AGNI 12 and 60 Zone Fire Alarm Panel is a microprocessor-based conventional fire alarm control panel from Agni .Part of the FACP-MAX Hybrid series, it is available in 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 zone models, and the 12 zone model can be expanded up to 120 zones. It works with standard smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual call points and hooters, so it fits conventional zone wiring. The panel design conforms to IS 2189:1988 and suits installations that call for Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) specifications.

Every zone is monitored continuously for fire and fault, and all zones are scanned automatically every 60 seconds. Zones are wired as Class B radial circuits ending in a 4.7 kΩ end-of-line resistor, so open and short circuits are detected straight away. Individual zones can be isolated with an LED indication, each zone’s sounder can be enabled or disabled separately, and volt-free relay contacts give separate outputs for fire and fault. A zone test mode and a timed walk-test mode make commissioning and field checks easier.

A 16 × 2 LCD with moonlight backlighting shows the fire or fault status of each zone, backed by colour-coded LEDs. The buzzer sounds a continuous tone for fire and an intermittent tone for fault, so the two are easy to tell apart. If the panel is silenced during a fire, a fire in another zone sounds the alarm again. Installers can enter a location name for every zone, set the date and time, and display the customer’s own logo, name and address on the LCD. The panel records up to 999 time-stamped events, including fires, faults, battery changes and mains on and off.

For multi-panel sites, RS-485 networking with the MAX Hybrid Technology Protocol supports up to 32 nodes over distances exceeding 1.3 km. A panel can also act as a system signal active repeater, and silencing or resetting at the master panel carries through to the connected slave panels.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AGNI 12 and 60 Zone Fire Alarm Panel?

It is the FACP-MAX Hybrid series of conventional fire alarm panels, available in 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 detection zones. Each zone is wired with detectors and manual call points and monitored for fire, open and short circuit.

Which zone sizes does Agni offers, and what about 8, 16, 20 or 44 zone panels?

This series is built as 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 zones. For 8 zones and below see the Agni X Hybrid panels. For other counts, such as a 16, 20, 28, 32, 40, 42 or 44 zone fire alarm panel, ask our engineers about a custom configuration.

Is this an EN 54 fire alarm panel or a CE marked fire alarm system?

The MAX Hybrid is designed to IS 2189:1988 and is suited to TAC specifications. If your project needs an EN 54 fire alarm panel or CE marking, contact us so we can confirm the right model and certification status.

Can it connect to a fire alarm public address or voice evacuation sytem?

The panel has a fire relay with potential-free contacts that can trigger external equipment. Agni also make separate voice alarm controllers for a fire alarm voice evacuation system: ask us how to interface them.
