FIRE ALARM BOARD Type 2108

The FIRE ALARM BOARD Type 2108 is a complete fire alarm system on one board. Freely wireable components, an integrated fire alarm centre and signalling devices for optical and acoustic alarm output make the board suitable for teaching and laboratory experiments.

  • Complete fire alarm system on one board
  • All single components freely wireable
  • Integrated fire alarm centre
  • Acoustic and optical alarm devices integrated
  • Integrated key depot
  • Thermodifferential detectors, smoke detector and manual trigger

Fire alarm system

Type 2108 represents a complete fire alarm system on one board. The components can be wired freely, making it possible to build up the system step by step until it is fully operational.

The integrated fire alarm centre, optical indicators and acoustic signalling devices make the setup suitable for realistic exercises.

Sensors and signalling

The system combines thermodifferential detectors, a smoke detector, a manual trigger, a main detector, inside and outside sirens, and optical alarm indicators.

A key depot and four terminating resistors are also part of the system.
