Conventional Fire Control
Panel 2 / 4 / 8 zone
General Description
Designed and certified according to EN54
standards, J408 is a microprocessor based fire
control panel suitable for small and medium size
installations.
The panel has two, four or eight input zones
according to the model. On each zone can be
connected up to 30 fire detectors allowing the
panel to manage up to 240 of them.
Each input zone has its own repetition open
collector output suitable for zone related signalling
devices.
The panel also supply some outputs for signalling
devices, dialler etc.
Thanks to its plastic front door the panel is easy to
use and permits to all the user to take a quick look
of the situation but only to authorized people (key
owners) to take actions.
The panel cabinet can house one optional
extinguish module which is capable to manage a
wide range of extinguishment systems.

Power Supply

The switching power supply housed in the

panel is EN54-4 approved and it is capable to
provide 1.5A at 27.6V
The cabinet is capable to allow 2 batteries
12V-7Ah which, connected in series, provide the
power for system feeding in case of main missing.

The panel is able to detect and signal following

faults: Fuses, Batteries (missing or low), Ground
fault, main fault.
A delay can be programmed for main fault
signalling .
Battery missing is detected within 100 seconds
which is the time between two consecutive tests.
