Keltron's PLM703 is a universal FACP (fire alarm control panel) monitoring system that enables an operator on a college campus, industrial complex or other multi-building facility to centrally and instantly monitor the status of every FACP throughout the complex.
The PLM703 operates using the distributed multiplex method of signaling, characterized by the sequential transmission and reception of multiple alarm signals over a single communication channel.
This arrangement minimizes wiring installation, maintenance, and related operating costs which often represent a significant portion of the total alarm system costs. The system simultaneously monitors multiple types of inputs to provide a cost-effective, clear migration path to newer technologies and additional functionality.
Benefits
