Mircom is pleased to launch the new FX-3318 Single Loop Intelligent Addressable Panel, available for purchase in UL markets only.

The FX-3318 is UL 864 9th Edition listed and has COA (New York) and CSFM (California) listings. It is cost-effective, easy to install, program and use. It has uncompromised features while maintaining the look and feel of larger Mircom panels as its menus follow standard Mircom panels to reduce learning. Mircom’s FX-3318 is intended for small to medium facilities that require a low-cost solution.

Our new FX-3318 is a great combination of proven FX-3500 firmware in a smaller footprint, at a great price,” said Michael DeMille, Vice President, Product Management and Marketing, Mircom Group of Companies.

Mircom’s FX-3318 provides one intelligent Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) that supports Advanced Communication Protocol (AP). AP devices use a high-speed communication protocol that greatly increases the speed of communication between intelligent devices.

Components of FX-3318 

The FX-3318 can support up to 318 devices in AP mode and offers legacy CLIP support of up to 198 devices. The FX-3318 is shipped pre-assembled with all main components:

  • Complete with the mainboard, power supply, transformer, and a 4×20 LCD screen in a red enclosure
  • PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence)
  • Supports up to 7 annunciators
  • Supports sync protocols from major manufacturers
  • Four Power Limited Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z) NAC circuits
  • Built-in Dialer Module for remote monitoring

The FX-3318 is a great alternative to replace conventional systems. The trim ring dresses the panel for easy retrofits or new installs. “It will position itself nicely in our lineup to compete with any small addressable Fire Alarm Control unit on the market,” said DeMille.
