Overview

The SCS-8 Smoke Control Station and optional SCE-8 Smoke Control Expander, SCS-8L Smoke Control Lamp Driver, and SCE-8L Smoke Control Lamp Driver Expander are used with the NOTIFIER Fire Alarm Control Panels, NCA or NCA-2 Network Control Annunciator displays, or the INA, to provide the capability to control and display the status of AHU fans or dampers. Each SCS can control and monitor eight AHU fans or dampers.

Features & Benefits:
