Potter Electric AFC-50 Addressable Fire Alarm Panel 50 Point

Product Description

The Potter Electric AFC-50 is a 50-point addressable fire alarm control panel (FACP) designed for small to mid-size commercial fire detection and notification systems. It manages up to 50 addressable devices on a single loop, including initiating devices and notification appliances, and serves as the central intelligence for monitoring, alarm processing, and system response. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers. The AFC-50 is suited for facilities requiring a cost-effective, code-compliant addressable solution without the overhead of a large panel platform.

The AFC-50 fits commercial applications where addressable point capacity in the 50-device range covers the full scope of the protected facility. Typical installations include small office buildings, retail spaces, schools, and light industrial occupancies. Because each device is individually identified, technicians can pinpoint the exact alarm or trouble location from the panel without zone-level ambiguity, which reduces investigation time during alarm events.

Key Features

• 50 addressable points support individual device identification for precise alarm and trouble reporting
• Addressable loop architecture eliminates the guesswork associated with conventional zone-based panels
• Compact panel form factor suited to small and mid-size commercial occupancies
• Designed for integration with addressable initiating devices and notification appliances
• Sold as a single unit (each), simplifying procurement for single-panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM addressable fire alarm control panel for use with compatible Potter Electric addressable initiating devices and notification appliances in commercial fire detection systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. Disconnect all power sources, including the AC supply and battery backup, before making any wiring connections inside the panel. The authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) must approve the installation and commissioning. Do not energize the panel until all field wiring has been verified and the loop has been programmed.
