Product Summary
Every Device. Every Zone. Every Event — Precisely Identified, Instantly Reported. FSCD NOC Ready.
An addressable fire alarm panel knows not just that "fire detected" — it knows exactly which detector on which floor in which room has triggered, what type of event it is (smoke, heat, CO, manual call point), what the current status of every other device in the building is, and what sequence of cause-and-effect actions the event requires. In a 20-storey office building or 300-bed hospital, this precision transforms fire response from building-wide panic to targeted, controlled evacuation and suppression.
SSAL designs, supplies, and installs addressable fire alarm systems as the life-safety infrastructure of Bangladesh's most complex buildings — providing the device-level intelligence, BACnet integration for building management systems, and FSCD NOC documentation support that enterprise clients require.
Key Features
- 4 Independent Loops (Expandable): Each SLC (Signalling Line Circuit) loop supports up to 128 addressable devices — 4 loops provide 512 total devices in the base configuration, covering a large multi-floor commercial building from a single panel
- 512 Device Capacity (128 per Loop): Every detector, module, sounder, and manual call point on the loop is individually addressed — the panel displays exactly which device has triggered, not just which zone, enabling precise first-responder direction
- Open Protocol Compatibility: Communicates with addressable detectors from multiple manufacturers — providing installation flexibility and future supply chain resilience; SSAL validates compatibility with Bosch D series, Honeywell 300 series, and Siemens FDnet addressable devices
- BACnet/IP Integration Output: Native BACnet/IP gateway output communicates fire alarm status to Building Management Systems (BMS) — enables BMS to automatically respond to fire events (shut down HVAC, unlock access controlled doors, control elevators, trigger suppression systems) without hardwired cause-and-effect relay wiring
- RS-232/485 for Building Management Interface: Serial communication port for integration with older BMS platforms and fire alarm graphic workstations — maintains backward compatibility with installed BMS infrastructure
- 50 Cause-and-Effect Programs: 50 independently programmable cause-and-effect relationships between fire alarm inputs and output actions — defines precisely which sounders activate, which suppression zones trigger, which access doors release, and which BMS points change for each fire event scenario
- 72-Hour Standby Battery + 30-Minute Alarm: Battery backup provides 72 hours of standby power followed by 30 minutes of full alarm condition — exceeds BNBC 2020 and EN 54-4 battery endurance requirements for commercial buildings
- 7-Inch Colour Touchscreen Display: Intuitive full-colour touchscreen displays building schematic, device status, event log, and system health on a single screen — no paper-based zone schedule required for operator use
- Multi-Language Support: Display and keypad operation available in English and Bengali — critical for security and facilities management personnel in Bangladesh who work across both languages
- EN 54-2/4 Certified: European fire alarm standard certification provides the specification benchmark accepted by international insurance companies, multinational tenants, and Bangladesh's FSCD for high-standard installation recognition
- Printer Port: RS-232 printer output for hardcopy event log — required by some FSCD inspectors and insurance auditors as part of documentation evidence

Typical Applications
- Commercial High-Rise Office Building: 512 devices cover 20+ floors with addressable detectors, sounders, and modules on each floor — BACnet integration controls HVAC smoke management dampers and elevator recall automatically on fire event
- Hospital — NFPA 101 / BNBC 2020 Compliance: Addressable panel provides the zone-level precision required by hospital fire safety management — staff can respond to a specific room-level alarm without evacuating unaffected patient wards
- Shopping Mall: Cause-and-effect programming controls different alarm phases — staff investigation alarm (first detector in zone), then general evacuation alarm (second detector in zone or manual call point) — minimising disruptive full evacuation for investigation alarms
- Hotel & Hospitality: 512-device capacity covers a full large hotel; BACnet integration controls room ventilation, corridor pressurisation, and elevator recall automatically without hard-wired relay interconnections to each system
- Manufacturing Facility: Loop isolation modules limit a cable fault to one segment of a loop, maintaining all other devices in operation — essential for continuous-operation manufacturing facilities where total fire system shutdown is not acceptable
- Government Ministry Complex: EN 54-2/4 certification satisfies the specification requirements of government fire safety approval authorities; FSCD NOC documentation package prepared by SSAL as part of project delivery
Compatibility & Integration
The addressable panel integrates with SSAL-supplied addressable detectors from Bosch, Honeywell, and Siemens. BACnet/IP integration connects to Siemens Desigo CC, Honeywell EBI, and Johnson Controls Metasys BMS platforms. Relay outputs connect to Naffco FM-200 suppression systems, sprinkler alarm valves, door-hold-open electromagnets, and PA/emergency voice evacuation systems. SSAL provides BACnet integration engineering as part of project delivery, including BACnet device object configuration and BMS point list documentation.
SSAL Supply & Support
Smart Safety & Automations Ltd. designs addressable fire alarm systems from detector selection through zone schedule development, cause-and-effect matrix design, BACnet integration configuration, and FSCD NOC documentation preparation. SSAL provides a complete fire alarm design package including detector layout drawings, zone schedule, cause-and-effect matrix, battery calculation, and cable schedule — all formatted for submission to FSCD and the client's insurance authority. Annual Maintenance Contracts include semi-annual detector testing, annual panel functional test, battery capacity test, and FSCD annual inspection support.
