EMS FireCell Gateway Kit
£976.33 (inc VAT: £1,171.60)
Summary
The EMS FCX-750-003 Gateway FCX Kit is designed to add wireless fire detection capability to any compatible Apollo XP95 protocol fire alarm control panel. Rather than replacing an existing panel, this kit extends it — giving installers the flexibility to introduce wireless detection in buildings where running cabling is difficult, disruptive or impractical.
At the heart of the kit is the FCX-532-001 Fusion Radio Loop Module, which connects directly to the panel’s XP95 loop and acts as the bridge between the hardwired system and the wireless FireCell devices. The module uses diversity aerial methodology and automatic 32-channel selection to deliver reliable, robust wireless communication across the protected area.
The kit includes a ready-to-deploy selection of wireless devices — optical smoke detectors, detector bases, combo sounder bases and a manual callpoint — with batteries included. It provides a straightforward route to wireless fire detection without the need to invest in a new control panel, making it a cost-effective solution for upgrades, extensions and retrofit installations.
