The Latitude range of fire alarm control equipment combines the very latest hardware and software to produce an approved control and indication system, which is powerful and sophisticated, yet simple to use and understand.
The flexibility of the Latitude platform is such that it can be re-configured to realise many other control and indication applications, with direct integration into intelligent buildings.
Now with its BOSEC approval adding to its existing EN 54 Part 13 approval and its recent acquisition of Denmark's prestigious DBI certification, this innovative life safety platform provides the very best in terms of reliability, functionality and flexibility for any application.
The modular nature of the Latitude system allows all field wiring to be connected to a passive mother board enabling addition, re-configuration or replacement of all electronic hardware without the need to disconnect any field wiring.
This modularity also allows each panel to be customised with addressable loop detection circuits, conventional detection circuits, relay cards, additional sounder outputs or programmable I/O modules as required.
The Modular approach to the Latitude range starts with its hardware, and the panel enclosure; various sizes and depths are available.
The panel can accommodate between 2 and 16 loops, depending on enclosure and number of loop cards fitted.
Additional elements such as Zone LED cards, power supplies, key switches and printer can also be added to the enclosure to tailor the panel for its intended application.
The modularity continues inside the panel, with a suite of plug and play peripheral cards including additional loop cards, network card, media gateway card, 16 channel I/O card and a Sounder card.
The Latitude life safety platform is exclusively available from our Systems Partners Network, a UK-wide network of trained, professional and BAFE accredited fire alarm companies, recognised for their high levels of expertise, workmanship, customer service and quality.
