Intelligent Addressable
Fire Alarm System
JCI-6856:A
IFC-640 shown in CAB-4 with
JNCA 640-character display
General
As a stand-alone small-to-large system, or as a large network,
the IFC-640
meets virtually every application requirement.
Designed with modularity and for ease of system planning, the
IFC-640 can be configured with just a few devices for small
building applications, or for a large campus or high-rise applica-
tion. Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the
application.
Features
•

FLASHSCAN® INTELLIGENT FEATURES:
•
Poll 318 devices in less than two seconds.
•
Activate up to 159 outputs in less than five seconds.
•
Multicolor LEDs blink device address during Walk Test.
•
Fully digital, high-precision protocol (U.S. Patent 5,539,389).
•
Manual sensitivity adjustment — nine levels.
•
Pre-alarm AWACS — nine levels.
•
Day/Night automatic sensitivity adjustment.
•
Sensitivity windows:
– Ion – 0.5 to 2.5%/foot obscuration.
– Photo – 0.5 to 2.35%/foot obscuration.
– Laser (VIEW®) – 0.02 to 2.0%/foot obscuration.
– Acclimate – 0.5 to 4.0%/foot obscuration.
– HARSH™ – 0.5 to 2.35%/foot obscuration.
•
Drift compensation (U.S. Patent 5,764,142).
•
Degraded mode — in the unlikely event that the JCPU-640
microprocessor fails, FlashScan® detectors revert to
degraded operation and can activate the JCPU-640 NAC cir-
cuits and alarm relay. Each of the four built-in panel circuits
includes a Disable/Enable switch for this feature.
