2 Overview
2.1 General
The FireSpy Tracker series panels are sophisticated microprocessor-based fire alarm control systems
suited to the various needs of commercial, industrial and institutional applications. The Tracker panel can
connect to a Tracker network, a peer-to-peer network of up to 250 Tracker panels. Up to 254 points on
each Signal Line Circuit (SLC) and up to 60 conventional fire detector zones can be configured. The
distributed system architecture reduces the length of wiring needed because addressable SLC,
conventional IDC, and other modules can be located closer to where devices are installed.
The Tracker panel functions in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standard 72 Fire Alarm Code. Activation of a compatible detector or normally open fire alarm initiating
device will sound audible appliances, notify a remote station, annunciate a fire or alarm condition, and
energize supplementary relays.
Automatic learning features can be used to quickly configure a system. Additional system configuration
can be done through the annunciator or with a PC.
The Tracker 8000 allows up to eight SLCs for a total of 2032 addressable points. The SLCs are provided
by the use of modular SLC boards, which may be mounted in the main enclosure or remotely.
The Tracker 2000 main board (MBCLC) has two SLCs for a total of 508 addressable points.
The Tracker 1000 main board (MB) has one SLC for a total of 254 addressable points.
The Tracker T2000E combines the Tracker 2000 fire alarm control panel and the HAVE audio voice
evacuation systems into one convenient package. In addition to the features of the T2000, it also provides
conventional audio with up to 8 Class B speaker circuits (or up to 4 Class A) with amplification for 25, 50
or 100 watts. Within this manual, references to the T2000 also apply to the fire alarm portion of the
T2000E (the MBCLC main board).
