3-Zone Automatic Extinguisher Panel, EP203/CON

The Context Plus EP203/CON is a three-zone automatic extinguisher control panel designed to control gas extinguishing systems in areas containing valuable, hazardous or irreplaceable equipment.

The panel functions as a standard three-zone conventional fire alarm panel with additional circuitry for controlling the release of fire-suppressing gas into the protected area.

It features a two-colour 128 × 64 pixel graphical display that provides clear information for users, installers and commissioning engineers.

Any combination of the three detection zones can be programmed to automatically initiate the extinguishant release sequence. The front panel also includes a pull-down manual release control and two keyswitches for accessing panel functions and switching between automatic and manual operating modes.
