Potter PFC-4064 is a compact, expandable microprocessor-based conventional fire alarm control panel that complies with UL 864, NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. It has six programmable initiating device circuits and four 24 VDC, 3.0 A notification appliance circuits with strobe synchronization, and it reports to a monitoring station over its built-in Ethernet connection.
The 5.0 A power supply charges up to two 55 Ah batteries, and the cabinet houses two 7 Ah or two 12 Ah batteries. The panel has a 4 x 20 (80-character) LCD with status LEDs, a history buffer, and a keypad for menu navigation, limited programming and system control. The Ethernet port is UL certified as an IP communicator that reports to the Sur-Gard III IP receiver, and the panel can e-mail alarm, trouble and supervisory conditions, event history, detector status and service reminders.
