Advanced Launches Touch-Screen Fire System Repeater TouchControl

Product in a nutshell: TouchControl is the new 10” HD touch-screen fire system repeater and remote control terminal launched by global fire systems manufacturer Advanced.

Sectors/Verticals: Suitable, among other environments, for receptions and nurses’ stations where network control, aesthetics or simply communicated, detailed information is required.

Features:

  • Active maps: Depicts zone plans using dynamic graphics and allows any image to display fire info, with multiple views available allowing users to interrogate the status of zones in a site from different angles
  • Map app: Software makes it simple and easy to add map images and associate them with a particular zone
  • Colour-coded status buttons: Users can immediately identify zones and devices in fire, fault, disablement, test or normal operation via colour-coded status buttons
  • Open for multiple uses: Another feature for its use in public areas is the ability for users to add presentations, company introductions, visitor boards or safety information to run when the fire screen is not reporting fire system information
  • Doubles as network node: A network node in its own right, working in standard or fault tolerant modes
  • Surface mount option available
  • Easy installation and configuration

TouchControl

Manufacturer says: “Advanced customers do not expect us to follow the herd, but deliver something innovative and more useful,” said John Newton, Advanced’s Products Manager. “TouchControl is absolutely unique and we think the right way to add touch technology to fire systems.

“We don’t compromise the touchscreen by reducing its size to fit in a panel and we don’t add cost to a panel that may be out of view. Instead we’ve developed a high quality touchscreen unit that has all the benefits a touchscreen can deliver plus more, such as Active Maps.

“We have invested significant time ensuring it is easy to install and configure, especially when it comes to adding maps and demand is already high.”

The legendary performance, quality and ease-of-use of its products sees them used in prestigious and challenging locations all over the world, from single panel installations to large multi-site networks.
