Description

The four zone SK-4/E is a 24 VDC
FACP that provides four Class B
initiating device circuits and two Class
B notification appliance circuit (NAC).

The SK-4/E NAC protocol includes the
ability to silence audible devices while
strobes continue to flash, using only a
single pair of wires. The SK-4/E is also
compatible with conventional input
devices such as two- and four-wire
smoke detectors, pull stations,
waterflow devices, tamper switches and
other normally-open contact devices.

Activation of a compatible smoke
detector or any normally-open fire
alarm initiating device activates audible
and visual signaling devices, illuminates
an indicating LED, sounds the piezo
sounder at the FACP, activates the
FACP alarm relay, and operates an
optional module used to notify a remote
station or initiate an auxiliary control
function.

The SK-4/E is compatible with System

freeze warning. Automatic
synchronization of audio/visual devices
is provided, using three selections for

SK-4 & SK-4E Fire Alarm

Control Panel

The SK-4 and SK-4E (SK-4/E) are four zone conventional fire alarm
control panels (FACPs) that bring the latest in microprocessor technology
to conventional fire controls. The SK-4 is a 120 VAC FACP and the SK-4E
is a 240 VAC FACP. These FACPs provide reliable fire signaling protection

for small- to medium-sized commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.

For more information about the SK-4/E system, or to locate your nearest source, please call
1-800-446-6444, or in Minnesota, call 763-493-6435.

4-zone fire protection at a price that won’t

burn your budget.
