The purpose of the fire alarm system is to notify us of an emergency so that we can take action to safeguard ourselves, our employees, and the general public. Alarms can be either motorized bells or sounders or horns that can be mounted on the wall.

Nohmi N3060 is an expandable and intelligent addressable fire alarm system. The PCA-N3060-MCU is the user interface unit of the fire alarm control panel that consists of a 10.4-inch color touch screen, 10 system status indicators, 8 programmable zone indicators, 6 system control switches, and a speaker. The touch screen also makes it quicker and easier for the operator to use the FACP.

In addition, Nohmi N3060 has a feature called Sensor Monitor for indicating the sensing level (smoke level or heat level) of a designated analog fire detector graphically on the LCD. This feature is useful when a particular fire detector’s sensing level should be monitored in some cases. Sensor Monitor is selected for either the last 3 minutes or last one week.

One touch zone activation of the PCA-N3060-MCU activates all the outputs configured in a zone by touching the corresponding button on the LCD. This function is useful for testing & commissioning and maintenance periods. Thirty-six sets of one touch activation buttons are available per system.

The PCA-N3060-MCU is equipped with the functionality of the voice message. Upon the occurrence of a type of event (alarm, supervisory, trouble, device activation, or fire suppression agent discharge), a pre-recorded voice message for the type of event is played to attract the attention of the operator.
