Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels
DF-60953:D
General
The ES-50X, ES-50XC, ES-50XI, and ES-50XP are the latest intelli-
gent addressable fire alarm control panel (FACPs) from Fire•Lite
Alarms and are direct replacement for the MS-9050UD. The ES-50X
Series support up to 50 addressable devices in any combination of
detectors or modules. With an extensive list of powerful features, the
ES-50X Series programs just like Fire•Lite’s other addressable panels,
yet
fits into applications previously served only by conventional panels.
The ES-50X and ES-50XC feature a pre-installed IPOTS-COM, a dual
technology (POTS and IP) communicator. The POTS transmits system
status (alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the pub-
lic switched telephone network. The IP communicator’s internet moni-
toring capability sends alarm signals over the Internet saving the
monthly cost of two dedicated business telephone lines. Although not
required, the secondary telephone line may be retained providing
backup communication over the public switched telephone line.
Optional cellular reporting is available using an HW-TG7F Series
Communicators or the CLSS Pathway.
The ES-50XP features an integrated CLSS Pathway Pro Communica-
tor, a dual-SIM (AT&T/ Verizon) 5G LTE-M Communicator with optional
IP connection. The CLSS Pathway Pro transmits system status
(alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to the Central Station using LTE CAT-
M1 networks, serving as a bridge between the fire system and the
CLSS Cloud. The IP communicator's Internet monitoring capability
sends alarm signals over the Internet, meeting requirements for
backup communication. As an integrated communicator, the CLSS
Pathway Pro, typically, can transmit data faster than dial capture meth-
ods.
Remote and local programming of the control panel is possible using
the FS-Tools Upload/Download utility. Programming databases can be
uploaded/downloaded via the panel’s USB port (and USB cable) or via
an ethernet connection using the IPOTS-COM communicator (ES-50X
and EX-50XC only). The USB port also allows for the download or
upload of the entire program, history file, walk-test data, current status
and system voltages by means of a USB flash drive.
The power supply and all electronics are contained on a circuit board
supported on a new quick install chassis and housed in a metal cabi-
net. Available accessories include local and remote upload/download
software, remote annunciators, and reverse polarity/city box transmit-
ter (4XTMF).
