NFS-320SYS Intelligent Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel
General
The NFS-320SYS intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of the
ONYX
®
Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER.
As a stand-alone small-to-large system, or as a large network, the
ONYX Series of products meet virtually every application require-
ment.
The modular design of the ONYX Series 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 campus 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.
NOTE: Unless called out with a version-specific “E” at the end of the part
number, “NFS-320SYS” refers to models NFS-320SYS and NFS-
320SYSE; similarly, “CPU-320SYS” refers to models CPU-320SYS and
CPU-320SYSE.
ONYX® Series panels integrate with the Connected Life Safety Ser-
vices (CLSS) platform through the CLSS Gateway, providing
connectivity to central station, cloud, and mobile applications. (See
HON-62034.) This cloud-based functionality provides reliable pro-
tection and remote monitoring of the system, reduced manual data
entry, and reporting.
