The
Autocall TFX-500M and TFX-800M fire protection systems are
microprocessor
based and use a mix
of
new
and traditional
technology. They are versatile, flexible, and completely suitable for
application in small to medium sized premises or systems.

TFX-500M-
The Autocall TFX-500M
is
field programmable to
allow for up to 198 individual detection or annunciation points.
Device
pOints can be organized into 16 conventional zones and
up
to 240 control-by-event groups.
Two 2-way data circuits (multiplex) provide communication to and
from a variety
of
input and output devices. Conventional (non-ad-
dressable) detectors may
be
connected, individually or
in
small
groups, to the data circuits using the IXA-500DM or IXA-500DMA
Conventional Detector Modules. The TFX-500 also connects to
off-site central stations and municipal fire alarm circuits.
TFX-800M-
The Autocall TFX-800M expands the capacity of the
Autocall TFX-500 to allow
up
to 990 individual points, 80 zones, and
ten 2-way data (multiplex) circuits.

respond to Alert or Evacuation signal
e Test reminder--disp!ays a warning message
and
sends an
audible alert when the routine, weekly test
is
due.
