The Potter IPA-100 is an analog/addressable releasing fire alarm control panel with a total system capacity of 127 addresses, using Potter's protocol and its line of sensors and modules. Additional capacity comes from multi-point SLC modules, and the SLC allows 50 ohms of impedance on any NEC-compliant wire.
It is certified for releasing of fire suppression systems, with software cross zones, counting zones and timers, and multiple release outputs across multiple hazards. The built-in IP communicator and Ethernet port support programming, network connectivity and e-mailed status reports.
