The ONYX® Series

The Ultimate in Life Safety and

Emergency Communications Technology

Flexible, Expandable, Backward Compatible

NOTIFIER’s ONYX® Series of intelligent fi re alarm control panels have the fl exibility to meet the needs of any size application. ONYX® Series
panels are easily expanded with NOTI-FIRE-NETTM, NOTIFIER’s intelligent fi re alarm network, to keep pace with your life safety needs.
What’s more, ONYX
so you can add-on or upgrade without having to replace existing devices.

®

Series panels and NOTI-FIRE-NETTM are completely backward compatible with existing NOTIFIER intelligent systems,

Advanced Detection Technology

ONYX® detection delivers a rapid, intelligent response to incipient fi re signatures while substantially reducing nuisance alarms. Specialty
detectors supply stability and very early warning capability where unique hazards and environmental conditions exist that prohibit the use
of traditional smoke detectors.

Integrated Audio Evacuation and Paging

ONYX® Digital Voice Command (DVC), NOTIFIER’s multi-channel digital audio evacuation and paging system, features eight channels
of industry-leading quality audio, fi ve fi refi ghter telephone channels, wire, fi ber or hybrid options, and can broadcast multiple, distinct
messages throughout an entire facility or across a campus simultaneously.

Easy to Use and Maintain

ONYX® Series panels feature full QWERTY keypads, large 80-640 character LCD displays, and intuitive menu options, making it easy
for facility managers to perform routine system maintenance, testing, and basic programming functions such as enabling or disabling
points. If an intelligent device is ever damaged and needs replacement, facility personnel can do so quickly and easily without the need
for special tools or programming software.
