The unit includes four notification appliance circuits, four programmable relays, and an onboard Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) for remote signaling. It can be configured through its built-in keypad, remote annunciator, or PC-based software, and features programmable smoke verification and pre-alarm delay to reduce false alarms.
Key Features:
- 10 to 30 Input Zones: Base configuration of 10 zones, expandable to 30 using SK-5217 expanders.
- LCD Display: Integrated two-line, 16-character LCD for clear English-language event readouts.
- Flexible Input Configuration: Supports both Class B (Style B) and Class A (Style D) initiation circuits.
- Built-in DACT: Includes a Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter for remote alerting.
- Four Notification Appliance Circuits: Configurable output patterns including ANSI 3.41 compliant options.
- Programmable Relays: Four general-purpose relays for system customization and automation.
- Event History Buffer: Stores approximately 150 events with timestamping for diagnostics and compliance.
- Reduced False Alarms: Advanced features like smoke verification, cross zoning, and pre-alarm delay.
- Mounting Options: Surface or semi-flush mounting supported for flexible installation.
- Walk Test Feature: Built-in testing capability to assist technicians during commissioning or service.
The SK-5208 delivers reliable zone-based fire detection with built-in communication and flexible expansion for commercial-grade life safety systems.
