C-Tec EP203 Automatic Extinguisher Panel
£260.55 (inc VAT: £312.66)
Summary
The EP203 Automatic Extinguisher Panel is a high-quality, durable, and reliable solution certified by the LPCB to EN 12094-1 and EN54-2/4 standards. This panel is specifically designed for environments that house expensive, dangerous, or irreplaceable equipment. It features an intuitive 128 x 64 pixel display that provides clear and concise feedback to users, installers, and commissioning engineers.
With six monitored inputs, including hold and abort functions, a time-stamped log, adjustable flood times, and volt-free changeover relays for various functions, the EP203 is engineered for ease of installation and operation. The panel’s electronics are mounted on a detachable metal bridge plate, and a wide range of ancillary options are available to enhance its functionality.
