Flex 4 & Flex 8
Description
The Gamewell Flex 4 and Flex 8 Fire Alarm Control Panels are designed for small to medium commercial, residential, institutional and industrial occupancies. Simple and easy configuration of the microprocessor-based controls is accomplished via DIP switches. Superior product flexibility allows compliance with the specific job requirements at each installation. Two standard configurations are available. The Flex 4 includes 4 Class B (Style B) Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs), which are easily programmed and wired to perform as 2 Class A (Style D) circuits. For signaling an alarm condition, the Flex 4 provides 2 Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) that may be wired for Class A/B (Style Z/Y) performance and are rated for loads up to 1.7 Amperes each. With twice the circuit capacity, the Flex 8 provides 8 Class B IDCs, which are easily configurable as 4 Class A circuits and 4 Class A/B NACs. Each NAC is also rated for a maximum of 1.7 Amps, with total notification appliance power for the Flex 8 at 5 Amps maximum. A Flex 4 may be expanded in the field to provide the circuit capacity of a Flex 8 by installing a Circuit Expander Module (CEM.) The CEM provides an additional 4 Class B (2 Class A) IDCs and 2 Class A or B NACs. All initiating circuits of the Flex 4 and Flex 8 are factory set to operate for Class B (Style B) wiring performance. Through field programming, all circuits can easily be converted to Class A (Style D) circuits. An integral 6 Amp power supply is included in both products to provide system power, 4-wire resettable smoke power (24 VDC @ 100 mA) and up to 5 Amps of notification appliance power.

Features
* Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs) may be individually configured for: > General Alarm > Waterflow > Supervisory > Alarm Verification * Supervisory operation may be Latching or Non-Latching * Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) may be programmed as: > Silenceable > Non-Silenceable > Auto-Silenceable > Coded (March Time, Temporal Code, California Code) * 5.0 Amps of total NAC power * Common Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble contacts * Resettable four-wire smoke detector power @ 100 mA * Integral Walk Test operation * EIA-485 interface for up to 3 model RA8 Remote Annunciators * Polarity Reversal and City Tie connection (optional) * Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter DACT (optional) * Relay-by-zone capability with RY4 (Flex 4) or RY8 (Flex 8) modules
Programming
The Flex 4 and Flex 8 use simple DIP switches for programming IDCs and NACs, as well as enabling and disabling of system functions such as signal silence, fire drill and auxiliary disconnect. Notification circuits may be configured for audible or visual devices and silenceable or non-silenceable operation. The Flex 4 and Flex 8 allow for alarm verification on all Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs). Predefined IDCs may be optionally configured for Waterflow (zone 3 [Flex 4] or zones 3 & 7 [Flex 8]) or Latching/NonLatching Supervisory (zone 4 [Flex 4] or zones 4 & 8 [Flex 8]).
