Description

The Gamewell Flex 405 is a 24-volt,

five-zone Fire Alarm Control Panel

FACP) with built-in communicator and

remote-site upload/download capabil-

ity. The integral communicator trans-

mits event information (alarms,

troubles, supervisories, faults, etc.) to

a UL-Listed central station. The Flex

405 may be used in a variety of cost-

effective applications, including: local

fire alarm control panel (communica-

tor disabled), fire alarm control panel/

communicator, stand-alone sprinkler

supervisory communicator, or slave

communicator to a UL-Listed host fire

alarm panel (requires normally-open dry

contacts to trigger five channels). Selectable transmission formats allow the

Flex 405 to communicate to virtually all central stations.

Remote-Site Upload/Download

The Flex 405 may be downloaded or uploaded without affecting the system fire

protection. Download system programming, and upload key system information

such as: current system status, history and walk test files; zone, AC line, NAC

1 and NAC 2, resettable power and battery voltages; and system programming.

Upload or download within one minute without affecting normal fire panel func-

tions. The upload/download function also features multiple security techniques.

The Flex 405 requires the PK-CD programming kit, which works with most Hayes-

compatible modems (consult factory for listing).

Features

• Five programmable Initiating Device Circuits

(zones). Each zone may be programmed for:

two-wire smoke detectors, normally open

contact devices (pull stations, heat detectors),

four-wire smoke detectors, waterflow

operation, supervisory operation, auto-reset

supervisory operation.

• Two built-in, Class A or B (Style Z or Y)

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs).

NACs may be programmed: silenceable,

non-silenceable (a strobe circuit can keep

flashing after the panel is silenced), auto-

silence (program 5 to 30 minutes), silence

inhibit (60 seconds), coding (march time,

temporal, California).

• 3.0 amps of notification appliance power,

expandable to 5.0 amps (meets the critical

power requirements for ADA and UL-1971

devices).

• Two built-in Form-CAlarm andTrouble relays.

• Supervisory and communication fail outputs.

• Dual-line rotary- or Touch-Tone®-dial DACT

interfaces to public telephone network (leased

phone lines are not required).

• 24-Volt operation.

• Built-in voltmeter measures: zone voltage;

primary AC line voltage; battery voltage;

NAC(s) voltage; resettable 24-volt power.

• Surface Mount Technology (SMT).

• Fully programmable via built-in keypad (no

costly external programmers necessary).

• Complies with NFPA 72 (Local, Central

Station and Remote Station [DACT only – not

polarity reversal] Fire Alarm Systems).

• Reporting formats include:

3+1, 4+1, 4+2 Standard + Expanded;

4+1, 4+2, Ademco Express.

• Integral battery charger for up to 60 hours of

standby power.

• Fuseless, power-limited technology meets

UL power-limiting requirements.

• Programmable alarm presignal timer, alarm

verification timer, and optional trouble

reminder.

• Single-person walk test. Fire drill function.

• Zone disable capability (software).

• 32-Event history buffer with time-and-date

stamp.Accurate real-time clock/calendar.

• Extensive built-in transient protection.

• Electronics and operational controls fully

enclosed in a lockable cabinet capable of

housing up to 7 AH batteries.

• Optional: contact-by-zone module, remote

annunciator, printer interface for on- or off-line

printing.
