2.0 Introduction and Key Features
The 3500 is a conventional fire alarm control panel available in 2, 4 and 8 zone models. The 3500
incorporates an integrated power supply, two fully monitored alarm circuits and a facility for an optional
repeat panel connection.
The 3500 includes many programming and configuration features making it easy to integrate to a variety of
site conditions. The 3500 is primarily designed to drive Protec 3000PLUS detection devices.
The 3500 has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and complies fully with current
standards dictating fire alarm system design practice (EN54 parts 2 and 4).
The integrity and reliability of a fire alarm system is paramount and consequently the 3500 continually
monitors all critical paths for faults. The fire detection zones and wiring are constantly monitored to check for
faults. The integrated power supply regularly performs self-checks to ensure it is fully working and that the
stand-by batteries are in a good state.
Any alarms or faults detected are reported clearly on the front panel display.
