Extinguishing control unit
The XC1003-A extinguishing control unit is used for displaying, operating and
monitoring the functions of an extinguishing area and its immediate environs.
All detectors, alarm horn, illuminated warning panel, monitoring devices and
controllers are connected to the extinguishing control unit. If a detector triggers an
alarm, it is transmitted to the extinguishing control unit. At the extinguishing control
unit the decision is made how the alarm is to be processed. The same applies to
faults. The processing of alarms and faults is different depending on the
configuration of the system.
