VM Series represents
the latest generation
of life safety control
panels for mid to large
sized applications. With large
multi-message displays, intuitive inter-
faces, and stylish contoured cabinets — these
systems capture the imagination, and catch
the eye. But behind the LCD display is where
they really shine.
New TCP/IP-enabled microprocessors
and chipsets take full advantage of the latest
advances in computing technology, leading to
smarter, faster, higher-capacity processing and
more ecient designs. VM Series’s patented
Voltage Boost™ technology, for example,
delivers constant voltage on NAC and AUX
circuits – even at low battery power – resulting
in lighter cable requirements and longer runs.
That saves time and money.
