XFP network communication card for XFP 16 zone panels(one required for each networked panel)

The XFP network communication card for XFP 16 zone panels(one required for each networked panel) is part of the Analogue Addressable Fire Detection Panels range from Context Plus, supplied and supported by SPS. An optional system expansion device for use with the Context Plus XFP 1 loop 16 zone model XFP501E/X/CON fire panels. Allows the connection of up to eight XFP Repeaters or eight XFP Main panels (any mix) on an RS485 network. One AFP761 card required per networked Main XFP 1 Loop 16 Zone panel (note that XFP510-16/CON repeaters include a CFP761 network driver card as standard). The AFP761 is NOT compatible with the XFP/501/CON Single Loop 32 Zone panels and the XFP/502/CON two loop 32 Zone panels which require a CFP711 card for networking.
