F-Link transceiver kit with aerials

The original Scope F-Link system has become a popular and secure way of remotely alerting and monitoring fire or security panels. The latest version adds even greater performance and improved functionality. F-Link is now housed in a larger case with plenty of cable entry points and an informative text display which provides status information and gives details of alarm messages.

A system consists of two or more F-Link units working together to form a mesh network with each unit operating as both a transmitter and receiver. The radio link between units is monitored for faults in accordance with the relevant sections of BS5839-1:2017 (24.2b) and BSEN54-25:2008 (4.2.6). There is an additional output on the Master unit for connection to an optional paging transmitter, which sends alarm and fault messages to pocket pagers.

The front panel display indicates active zones, unit status, network/radio status and the received signal strength of incoming transmissions. A button is provided to mute the internal fault sounder, and a key switch allows the unit to be reset or placed into test mode. The Identity and radio operating frequency of each unit is set using dip switches, allowing for rapid and fuss-free installation.

Software-configurable options include: text descriptors for each Node and each zone event; zone input type; and output relay operating mode. Programmed settings are wirelessly distributed by the Master unit to all installed Nodes. An optional F-Link paging transmitter can be added to the system to send alarm and fault event descriptions to portable radio pagers. An optional interface can also be specified to provide a serial data output for logging purposes.
