Does Simplex hold a patent on FACP-controlled candela/addressable signals though? If they don’t System Sensor would be free to roll out their addressable LED L-series devices (provided they’re planned) right now.
According to a table that NewAgeServerAlarm once made the NFS2-3030 puts out filtered DC (the NFS2-3030D is just a single NFS2-3030 from what Google tells me), so you should be good to go with running LED L-series devices off it.
The D is only used in the CPU model number (CPU2-3030D) the D means display since some 3030 cpu’s do not, for example, networked systems (CPU2-3030ND).
I’ve been thinking about the FCP setting for a while and had a thought; could the new strobes have special circuitry inside them that could decode extremely fact pulses into brightness commands that the SpectrAlert, Advance and xenon L-Series would simply treat as FWR? I doubt this would be the case though.
In my opinion a more likely scenario would be for addressable notification. Honeywell already has addressable notification in the form of Swift, so I wouldn’t doubt that could be modified to send candela commands to the alarms. In addition, since Swift uses the same alarms as conventional notification, I wonder if the addressable notification will consist of regular LED L-Series alarms and addressable mounting plates
Here is the full catalog. There is definitely some interesting stuff in here that was not expected. It does appear that they have at least slightly changed the remote horns and LF horns.
