NFS-320 Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel
General
The NFS-320 intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of the
ONYX
®
Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER.
In stand-alone or network configurations, ONYX Series products
meet virtually every application requirement.
The NFS-320’s modular design makes system planning easier. The
panel can be configured with just a few devices for small building
applications, or networked with many devices to protect a large cam-
pus or a high-rise office block. Simply add additional peripheral
equipment to suit the application. Wireless fire protection can be
added with the SWIFT wireless gateway and devices.
For installations using NFS-320C, an optional ACM Series annunci-
ator can be mounted in the same cabinet (up to 48 zones/points,
order separately; see DN-60085).
NOTE: Unless called out with a version-specific “R”, “C” or “E” at the end
of the part number, “NFS-320” refers to models NFS-320, NFS-320R,
NFS-320C, and NFS-320E.
