Fike Control Panels
Fike TWINFLEX control panels run two-wire fire alarm systems, where detectors, call points and sounders share one pair of wires per zone. The page has TwinflexPro2 panels in 2-zone and 8-zone versions, a black TWINFLEX 4-zone panel that takes repeater panels over an RS485 data link, a 4-zone panel kit, Sita addressable sounders and accessories such as a flush-mounting accessory for CIE-A panels.

Choosing Fike Control Panels
Choose the number of zones first, then decide whether the building needs repeater panels at secondary entrances.
How Twinflex two-wire works
On a TwinflexPro2 system, detectors, call points and sounders share a single 2-core screened cable per zone, which reduces cabling and installation time. The 505-0002 takes up to 32 devices per zone, subject to device loading units, and distinguishes detector alarms from manual call point activations.
2-zone and 8-zone panels
The 505-0002 is a 2-zone panel with an LCD of 4 lines by 20 characters, a keypad, a log of 500 events and checkpoint alarm confirmation for dwelling and communal zoning, and it complies with EN54-2/4. It needs two 12 V, 3.3 Ah standby batteries. The 505-0008 has 8 onboard detection zones, day/night modes, programmable alarm confirmation and delay, common fire and fault relays and an integral mains PSU, and it can be linked to repeaters with optional cards.
4 zone panel and repeaters
The TWINFLEX 4 ZONE PANEL BLACK is a Pro2 range panel in black. Its zones are designated dwelling or communal: in a dwelling, a pre-alarm sounds just the local sounder while the cause is investigated, and an activation in a communal area starts a full alarm immediately. Repeater panels on the TWINFLEX 4 ZONE PANEL BLACK connect over an RS485 data link and report fire and fault events at secondary building entrances. A maximum of 8 repeater panels can be connected to a single control panel; they do not connect to or control any devices, but can silence alarms, reset, sound alarms and silence the buzzer over the data link.
Flush mounting
The 540-0030 allows flush installation of CIE-A-200 and CIE-A-400 fire panels, aligning at a depth of 83mm with 36mm surface projection.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a Fike control panel?
Pick a Fike control panel by the number of detection zones the building needs. Then think about what must connect to it, such as repeater panels by other entrances, relay outputs for door holders or plant, and the size of standby batteries. Twinflex models can also link conventional devices through optional cards. The range here includes Twinflex panels in two, four and eight zone versions.
What is a Twinflex fire alarm panel?
A Twinflex panel is Fike's two-wire fire alarm control panel, which powers and monitors detectors and sounders on the same pair of wires in a zone. That avoids running separate sounder circuits, which can save time on site. Twinflex multipoint detectors can carry a built-in sounder and strobe, and the panel can tell a call point alarm apart from a detector alarm.
