Description
The GL-P256 is an expandable fire alarm control panel. It can expand the loop addressable point capacity and fire alarm system networking capabilities through loop cards and network cards. The touch-sensitive LCD screen and icon-based buttons conform to the mainstream system operation process, which is very clear and intuitive, and easy to use.
The standard GL-P256 fire alarm control comes with one loop (expandable to four), two programmable sounder outputs rated at 1A each, and three programmable Pro-I/O outputs that can control FPE devices. It can achieve Input/Output (I/O) circuits after connecting to the terminal box.
The maximum communication distance for each loop can reach up to 1,500 meters.
