6820EVS

Emergency Voice System and Fire Alarm

Control Panel
The 6820EVS is a fire alarm control panel (FACP) and emergency mass
notification system conveniently integrated and housed in one panel, and
meets the requirements for mass notification as described in UL 2572.
It can be configured to achieve an overall point capacity of up to 1,110
points and connect up to 17 panels in a single communications link.

It has one built-in signaling line circuit (SLC), which can support 159
