The Global Fire Equipment GEKKO is an analogue addressable fire alarm control panel certified to EN 54-2 and EN 54-4, and the successor to the GFE JUNIOR V4. This version is fitted for 2 loops. It is housed in an ABS enclosure whose cover is closed and fixed with just two screws.The panel has room for two 12 V 7 Ah sealed lead-acid batteries, which GFE states give 24 hours of standby for the panel and its low-current devices. It works with GFE and ZEOS addressable loop devices, and can be networked with other GFE Chameleon panels such as the G-One, OCTO+ and NODE+.Key features Addressable panel expandable from 1 to 4 loops Up to 250 devices per loop (125 address limit) Up to 96 ultra-low-current addressable VULCAN 2 and/or VALKYRIE sounders; 32 individually programmable sounder addresses per loop Chameleon peer-to-peer network protocol for up to 32 panels, and networked systems of up to 128 loops Repeater connection via RS422, fibre optic or TCP/IP Full self-addressing device support Built-in fire and fault relays and 2 individually programmable conventional alarm outputs 384 fully programmable zones; 512 sounder groups and input/output groups Remote access with ODYSSEY graphics software and BMS integration via Modbus Cause-and-effect and site configuration loaded with CHAMELEON CONNECTOR software Support for non-European languages Technical specifications Loops: 2 (range expandable from 1 to 4) Mains supply: 90 V to 253 V, 50 Hz, 65 W Primary DC supply: 28.5 V DC at 2.4 A max.
