Description
Napco Starlink Fire MAX 2 Universal Panel-Powered Commercial Fire FACU Communicator
The StarLink Max Fire FACP Series offers an unparalleled solution for fire alarm communication with advanced technology and universal compatibility. Specifically designed for commercial fire alarm reporting, this series includes the SLE-MAX2-FIRE, SLE-MAX2-CFB, and SLE-MAX2-CFBPS models, each catering to diverse installation needs. These communicators provide dual-path, full-data transmission over 5G LTE-M cellular and/or IP networks, ensuring uninterrupted performance across Verizon® and AT&T® networks.
Engineered for reliability, the StarLink Max series features auto-network selection to automatically lock onto the strongest cellular carrier at installation. This dynamic capability ensures seamless operation even in challenging environments. With visual indicators for carrier connection and robust remote management via the StarLink Network Operations Center (NOC), the series offers ease of use and advanced monitoring features.
Supporting 12V-24V FACUs and compatible with legacy panels using Contact ID or 4/2 formats, the StarLink Max series simplifies integration with existing systems. Additionally, its Signal Boost™ circuitry and dual-diversity twin antennas provide industry-leading performance, making it a trusted choice for primary or backup alarm communication in compliance with UL and NFPA standards.
