## F100A Mini

This is a small version of the F100A Addressable system panel designed for smaller installations.

## F100A Standard Size

The F100 is an Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Systems. Often panels are mounted in places where the controls cannot be seen, so some of these photos are of system that I have presumed are F100As. These photos are all of the "standard" sized F100A

## F100A - Black Cabinet

As with the F4 and F16e, Pertronic now offers an optional "black" cabinet for the F100A. This is, however, EXTREMELY rare to find, as most installers are still using the default option (above).

## F100A Tall

This is the taller F100A panel, used or larger systems requiring more zones.

## F100A Extra Large

This is the extra large F100A panel, comprising of a double-width tall cabinet. It is design to be used or very large systems requiring more zones.

## F120A (Discontinued)

The F120 was an Addressable system designed for large installations that require flexible configuration and control functions. It was discontinued in 2021, replaced by the new F220.

## F220

The F220 is the newest panel in the Pertronic range. It is an Analogue Addressable panel with a seven-inch 800 x 480 pixel TFT LCD colour display. Although initially released on the Australian market in 2016, the F220 didn't become available in New Zealand until 2020. The first one was installed at the Pertronic Headquarters in Lower Hutt by Alliance Fire & Security, in May 2020.

## Network Control Unit (F100/F120)

You can link multiple Pertronic panels together into a network system. This panel has a network control unit integrated into it.

## Slimline Mimic Displays

Many Addressable systems use "Mimic" zone indicator displays (also known as "Repeaters"). These can be used in addition to the one on the main panel 9if a building needs more than one display) or instead is can be used in place of a display built into the main panel, if the main panel is not mounted in a window.
The "Slimline" Mimic Displays are so named because they are very thin. These are the most common type of Mimic.

Sometimes, you might see a screen, LCD display or various controls also fitted to these.

## Mini Slimline

These are around the same size as an F1 or F4 panel.

## Small Slimline

These are around the same size as an F16e Mini or F100A Mini.

The LED's have been placed in an unusual position.
## Standard Slimline

These are around the same size as a Standard-sized F16e or F100A.

These are around the same size as a double-cabinet F220.

## Full-Cabinet Mimic

On some occasions, a full-size panel cabinet will be used as a Mimic display, as has been done here. Sometimes, you might see a screen, LCD display or various controls also fitted to these.

## Custom Mimic

These are some mimic panels that have been custom-made. In most cases this is because the stock sizes aren't big enough, but also sometimes becuase a stock size won't fit an exisiting space.

## Modified Cabinet Mimics from Other Companies

Sometimes during the replacement of a Fire Alarm System, companies will use an existing cabinet from another manufacturer in situ and simply place the repeater in this space. Here are some examples:

## Mimic Controls

These are control stations that control functions on the panel. These can vary from just a couple of buttons to total control of the system. These are only found on Addressable systems.

## Network Display

This is a special kind of display that shows the status of all the fire alarm systems within a network. These are often custom-designed to suit the installation in question. They are also extremely rare.

## School Bell Power Supply

This is a battery pack & controller for School Bell systems. Not technically a Fire Alarm system, but I've included it anyway.

## F30 (Discontinued)

The F30 was a Conventional system made by Pertronic. It was discontinued and replaced by F1, F4 and F16.
