SIX ZONE FIRE ALARM UNIT

FA-106

FA-106R
FA-106
Description
The Mircom FA-106 panel is designed for fire alarm
systems in small commercial, institutional and industrial
occupancies. A slim-line design and a white exterior
colour offer unobtrusive appearance to compliment
any exterior.
The FA-106 includes one circuit board providing all the
essentials for a complete fire alarm system. Six Class
‘B’ Input circuits and two Class ‘B’ Output circuits (2.0
Amps, 1.25 maximum per circuit) are provided by the
FA-106. The Output circuits are protected from shorts
by self-restoring circuitry.
The FA-106 is equipped with supervision for ground
fault detection, battery low level or open wire fault,
Input and Output circuit wiring faults and loss of A.C.
power. The initiating circuits are supervised for opens
and ground faults. The FA-106 has LED indicators
for Zone Alarm, Zone Trouble, A.C. On, Battery Fault,
Ground Fault, Common Trouble, Signal Trouble and
Signal Silences and buttons for Zone Disconnect/
Silence, Buzzer Silence and Reset.

The FA-106 has selectable audible tones which can
be configured via DIP for Steady and Temporal Code.
The panel also includes a common alarm relay which is
configurable (via DIP switch) to follow the signal circuit
or lock on until the Alarm has been reset.
The cabinet is available in white or red colour and
the Fire Retardant Lexan Window in the hinged door
allows for viewing of the status LEDs. It comes with a
durable CAT-30 lock and key. Space is provided for 5
to 7.0 AH batteries.
