• Labor-Saving Supervision Features: Includes four supervised, programmable End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR) zone inputs and two Form C relay outputs, eliminating the need for additional supervision modules and simplifying installation. Additionally, it features two telephone-style jacks for easy FACU connection. 

• Panel-Powered Technology™: Standard models are powered directly by the connected panel, eliminating the need for extra power supplies or conduit, thereby reducing installation time and costs. 

• Over-the-Air Upgradeable Firmware: Allows for remote firmware updates, ensuring the communicator remains up-to-date without requiring on-site service visits. 

• UL Listed & NFPA 72 Compliant: Meets UL 864 standards and complies with NFPA 72 fire code requirements, ensuring adherence to industry regulations for commercial fire alarm systems.
