10 NFS-320/E/C Installation Manual — P/N 52745:M2 7/1/14
Section 2: System Overview
2.1 System Description
The NFS-320/E/C control panel is a modular, intelligent fire alarm control panel (FACP) with an
extensive list of powerful features. The control panel uses the CPS-24/E integral power supply with
battery charger. This is mounted in its cabinet to create a complete fire alarm control system. The
panel supports FlashScan® and CLIP mode; the board provides an integral signaling line circuit
(SLC) that can support up to 318 addressable points (159 detectors and 159 monitor/control
modules). The panel is networkable, and can be monitored across a network by other networked
panels.
Modular devices mount in the cabinet or in auxiliary backboxes to provide additional circuits. This
system is available in either a 120 VAC or 240 VAC configuration. Cabinetry can be ordered in
black or in red. The NFS-320/E/C chassis is removable, allowing work to be done outside the
cabinet.
