The Fire Alarm Control Panel Solution F1

The Concept

The LFS “Solution F1” fire alarm control panel series represents a cutting-edge evolution in modular and contemporary fire control systems. Crafted to exceed international standards and fulfill the most demanding global requirements, these panels introduce a range of groundbreaking features, some of which are unparalleled in the security industry. What sets them apart is their inclusive nature; many optional features found in other panels are standard in the “Solution F1” configuration.

We’ve ensured that this fire alarm control panel series is universally adaptable and flexible, both in terms of configuration possibilities and aesthetic design. It’s a product designed to cater to a multitude of applications, meeting a diverse array of needs. The exceptional modularity of these panels allows seamless adaptation to any foreseeable user requirements. During development, our priority was flexibility, particularly in integrating various detectors.

It’s a given that this panel is compatible with nearly all conventional detectors on the market. What’s truly noteworthy, however, is its compatibility with the latest analogue addressable detectors from Hochiki and Apollo, two global leaders in the detector market. This speaks volumes about the forward-thinking design of the “Solution F1” series.

The Reliability

If for certain applications a higher level of reliability, such as EN-54 and VdS standards, is required, that will be no problem for the “Solution F1” fire alarm control panel. The Control Processing Unit can be doubled, as can the system boards, which are responsible for communication with the sensors and passing the information from the detectors to the CPU. So the end user gets 100% redundancy for the whole system. But the R&D people did not stop the ambitious aims for reliability there.

They created a brand new control panel technology with absolutely no mechanical parts any longer, which is unique in the security business and has a lot of advantages for the installer as well as for the end user. It contains a pressure-sensitive piezo lacquer and does not have to be adjusted. The surface makes a worthwhile impression because of its glass-like design. This material is resistant to cleansing; there has been absolutely no deterioration over the years, and moreover, it is very stable against EMC influences.

The Product Range

The “Solution F1-6“ panel has a standard 24 V DC power supply with a maximum current of 4.2 A. The user can connect up to 6 loops, each with 254 loop devices (127 detectors/modules + 127 loop sounders), to this panel and can organize a maximum of 512 zones. There are three standard housings, which should be chosen depending on battery backup requirements. The bigger model, “Solution F1-18,” has a 24 V DC power supply with a max. current of 6.7 A fitted as standard. This panel can control 18 loops at its maximum. Again, there are three standard housing options available. The selection is dependent on battery space and the number of loops needed. This “Solution F1-18” has several more standard features compared with the smaller panel: 1.024 programmable zones, USB host interface, metal rack for 2nd assembly level, interface for optional TFT display, slot for SD card memory, and interface for audio codec module. Both models can be supplied in a 19-inch rack mounting version instead of a standard housing. There are no special adapters or frames necessary because the “Solution F1” is generally compatible with 19-inch housings. The pluggable wiring terminals will be greatly appreciated because the installation will be done very quickly and effectively. LFS web server-module For software configuration or data analysis by telephone line, the technician can connect the panels via modem (analogue or ISDN) to his PC. Therefore, you will find a slot on the main board that not only handles data communication but also provides the power supply for these modems.

Alternatively, the Soliton F1 control panels can be equipped with a web server.
