Function features

The FC721 is a compact standalone fire control panel with integrated operating
unit for processing signals from FD720 devices.
The control panel is custom-configured using the Cerberus-Engineering-Tool
software.
All the detector lines are monitored for ground faults.
Customer texts can be adapted directly on the operating unit of the control
panel or with the Cerberus-Engineering-Tool software.
Up to 2000 events can be retrieved from the event memory based on various
criteria.
Automatic summer/winter time changeover
