Potter Electric Signal afc-100 Fire Alarm Control Panel

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL afc-100 is an analog-addressable fire alarm control panel with a total system capacity of 100 addresses. It operates on the exclusive Potter protocol, supporting a complete line of compatible sensors and modules across its signaling line circuits (SLC). Each SLC accommodates any combination of smoke sensors, heat detectors, and modules, with a maximum allowable impedance of 50 Ohms per loop. Wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this panel in commercial and light industrial applications.

The afc-100 is designed for buildings requiring a scalable, addressable fire alarm solution. It fits applications where individual device identification and analog signal monitoring are required by code or building specification. Additional system capacity beyond the base 100 addresses is achievable through multi-point SLC modules, making it suitable for phased buildouts or mid-size facilities. The panel is part of the Potter AFC product series and is used in new construction and retrofit fire alarm installations.
