Description
The AFC-1000V is an enhanced version of the AFC-1000 addressable
fire alarm system, now with voice integration. The panel features all preexisting fire highlights and shares new innovative voice functionalities
to provide reliability and safety with the panel. The panel introduces
the VM-1000 voice module and digital message repeater to deliver
audio to designated remote amplifiers. The VM-1000 contains two
V-Link channels (audio riser outputs) to support single and dual channel
amplifiers. The voice module also includes a supervised low level auxiliary
input to interface with external audio sources and supports applications
requiring background music. The AFC-1000V is equipped with an ECS
user interface providing 8 programmable push buttons for speaker and
ECS zone assignment, LED indicators to display activity and trouble
conditions, and common user function buttons for All Call and CTRL.
The optional SB-24 (Switch Board w/24 Programmable Switches) will
offer 24 additional programmable push buttons. A maximum of four (4)
SB-24’s can be installed, offering up to 96 programmable push buttons.
The AFC-1000V can link up to ten (10) SCA (single channel amplifier)
or DCA (dual channel amplifier) amplifiers, thirty (30) LOC-1000 (local
operator console) and one (1) FFT-1000 (Firefighter Telephone System).
The Potter Panel Programmer introduces Audio Patterns which allows
users to select and create audio files easily and effectively from the user’s
laptop. The programmer offers an internal library of predefined message
and tones for common emergency conditions. Audio Patterns provides the
ability to conveniently record and import audio files directly from a laptop.

P-Link
The AFC-1000V has a proprietary communication protocol that
communicates through a RS-485 connection to field devices. Up
to 64 devices may be connected to a single P-Link connection. The
P-Link includes the communication terminals and regulated 24 VDC
connection for the field devices. The field devices may be any of the
following:
SCA-2525 – Single channel, 25W, 25V amplifier
SCA-2570 – Single Channel, 25W, 25V or 70V selectable amplifier
SCA-5025 – Single channel, 50W, 25V amplifier
SCA-5070 – Single Channel, 50W, 25V or 70V selectable amplifier
SCA-10070 – Single Channel, 100W, 25V or 70V selectable amplifier
DCA-5025 – Dual channel, 50W, 25V amplifier
DCA-10025 – Dual channel, 100W, 25V amplifier
LOC-1000 – Local operator console
FFT-1000 – Fire fighter telephone system
FFT-1000R – Firefighter’s Telephone System, Right Hinge Door
FFT-1000L – Firefighter’s Telephone System, Left Hinge Door
Ethernet/I.P. Connection
The IPA-4000 is shipped standard with an Ethernet connection. This
connection is the programming port and may be connected to a building
Wide Area Network (WAN) or Local Area Network(LAN). Once
connected to the Internet, the panel may be selectively programmed
to e-mail alarm conditions, trouble conditions, supervisory conditions,
test, Event History and detector status. An e-mail may be sent to the
panel and the panel will e-mail the event history, detector status,
configuration file or server status to an authorized E-mail account. In
addition, reminders may be set to send an e-mail for service, testing
or other conditions.
In addition, the Ethernet connection is UL listed as an IP communicator.
The IP communicator is listed to report to the UL listed Sur-Gard III
IP receiver. The IP communicator replaces the traditional less reliable
alarm communicator transmitter that utilized telephone lines. The IP
communicator is an active method of connection and communication
to the monitoring station.
