The GEKKO Fire Alarm Control Panel is the next-generation model following the highly successful GFE JUNIOR panel.
Designed to support 1 to 4 addressable loops, the GEKKO is built into a durable ABS plastic enclosure that uses just two screws to secure the lid.
Its new backlit graphical LCD display supports custom characters and graphic icons, enabling multi-language menus and personalised visual elements.
The panel integrates seamlessly with the ODYSSEY Graphics Interface and can communicate with third-party Building Management Systems via Modbus. It also supports communication with Repeater units through any CHAMELEON protocol networking interface.
The cabinet accommodates up to 7 Ah, 24 V DC sealed lead-acid backup batteries, providing reliable power for both the GEKKO panel and ZEOS devices, which feature exceptionally low current consumption.
All Cause & Effect programming and customer-specific configurations are created using the CHAMELEON CONNECTOR software and downloaded directly to the unit’s Flash Memory.
