Description

*NEW

The FAR module is designed to work in conjunction with the Securitron® BPS and BPSM series power supplies and a fire alarm panel (by others). Whenever the FAR receives a signal from the fire alarm it will switch off the output of the BPS/BPSM power supply. The power supply will stay in this mode until a manual reset is instituted by turning the keyswitch mounted in the face of the FAR module. This feature is required in certain jurisdictions to prevent the access control system from automatically (when the fire alarm is reset) relocking doors during an evacuation.

Provides functionality beyond a standard fire trigger relay when local code requires manual reset after a fire alarm. This self-contained unit interfaces to a fire alarm unit to cut power to devices downstream of the power supply in an alarm situation. The power stays off until the FAR’s Keyswitch is manually reset. This feature is required by some jurisdictions to prevent the unintentional re-arming of doors until the fire alarm is reset and power is restored to the access control system during an ongoing emergency.
