Summary
The EMS SmartCell Wireless Control Panel delivers a complete wireless fire detection solution designed to protect small to medium-sized premises without the complexity and disruption of traditional cabled installations. This compact control panel eliminates the need for extensive cabling work, significantly reducing installation time and site disturbance whilst maintaining full compliance with European fire safety standards.
Supporting up to 64 wireless devices with a maximum of 32 dedicated fire detection devices, the SmartCell system operates across 16 configurable zones using bidirectional communication in the European harmonised 868MHz frequency band. The panel’s 80-character OLED display provides clear system status information, whilst the compact enclosure design enables flexible installation in space-constrained environments. With accommodation for an internal communications card, the system offers future expandability for remote monitoring and SmartCell Services connectivity.
Certified to EN54-2, EN54-4, EN54-13 and EN54-25 standards with full CPR compliance, the SmartCell panel provides installers with a reliable, standards-compliant wireless fire detection solution ideal for retrofit applications, heritage buildings, and installations where traditional cabling would prove disruptive or cost-prohibitive.

FAQ
How many devices can a single SmartCell panel support?
The SmartCell Wireless Control Panel can support up to 64 wireless devices in total, with a maximum of 32 dedicated fire detection devices. The remaining capacity can be used for information devices, providing flexibility in system design across the 16 available zones.
What are the main installation advantages of the SmartCell wireless system?
The SmartCell system eliminates the need for cabling between the control panel and field devices, dramatically reducing installation time, labour costs and site disruption. This makes it particularly suitable for retrofit installations, occupied buildings, heritage properties, and sites where traditional cabling would be impractical or costly. The compact panel design and surface mounting further simplify installation.
What wireless frequency does the SmartCell system use?
The SmartCell system operates in the European harmonised 868-870MHz frequency band with bidirectional communication between devices and the control panel. The system transmits at a maximum output power of 14dBm (25mW), providing reliable wireless communication whilst maintaining compliance with European radio regulations.
Is this control panel supplied with a communications module?
No, this model (SC-11-1201-0001-99) is supplied without a communications module. However, the panel accommodates an internal communications card that can be added separately to enable connection to SmartCell Services for remote monitoring and system management capabilities.
What standards does the SmartCell panel comply with?
The SmartCell Wireless Control Panel is certified to EN54-2 (Control and indicating equipment), EN54-4 (Power supply equipment), EN54-13 (Compatibility and alarm transmission), and EN54-25 (Components using radio links). The system carries full CE marking and CPR (Construction Products Regulation) compliance for use across Europe.
What battery backup does the panel provide?
The control panel includes a 6V 4Ah standby battery that provides backup power during mains failure. In quiescent mode, the system draws 56mA from the battery, whilst alarm conditions require 106mA. When measuring quiescent current after mains disconnection, allow five minutes for the system to stabilise.
Can the SmartCell panel be used in all environmental conditions?
The panel is designed for indoor use with an IP30 rating and operates within a temperature range of -5°C to +45°C. Relative humidity should not exceed 95% non-condensing. The panel should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and +30°C when not installed.
