Description

The Silent Knight RA-1000R Remote Annunciator is a fully functional, addressable interface designed for remote system access and monitoring of Farenhyt Series fire alarm control panels (FACPs). Equipped with an 80-character backlit LCD screen and tactile keypad, the RA-1000R mirrors the interface of the IFP-1000 panel, offering intuitive system interaction from auxiliary locations.

Ideal for use in security offices, control rooms, or remote entrances, the RA-1000R connects to the fire panel via the RS-485 SBUS interface, allowing real-time control and system display. With five dedicated status LEDs for alarm, supervisory, trouble, silence, and AC power, the RA-1000R provides visual assurance of system conditions. Its built-in piezo sounder audibly signals alarms and system events, ensuring rapid awareness.

Available in red, the RA-1000R supports surface or flush mounting, accepts both user codes and firefighter’s keys, and enables fire drill activation with a single button press. It’s compatible with multiple Farenhyt FACPs and supports simultaneous deployment of multiple RA-1000R units across large facilities. Wiring can extend up to 6,000 ft depending on SBUS configuration and wire gauge.
