AMPAC Fire Alarm Panels

Here is a look at Fire Alarm Panels made by Australian company AMPAC.

## ZoneSense NZ1

The ZoneSense NZ1 is a single-zone conventional system.

## ZoneSense NZ400

The ZoneSense NZ400 is a conventional Fire Alarm System that holds up to 4 zones.

## ZoneSense NZ3200

The ZoneSense NZ3200 is a conventional system that is available in 8, 16, 24 or 32 zone versions.

## [Discontinued] FireFinder

The FireFinder was part of AMPAC's range of Analogue Addressable systems. The FireFinder was most commonly made as a wall-mounted cabinet with a repeater panel used as the display, but it could also be built into a tall NZ3200 cabinet.

The classic version of the FireFinder was discontinued in 2021, with the FireFinderPlus and LoopSense remaining.

## FireFinder*Plus*

The FireFinder*Plus* is one of the new panels in AMPAC's range of Analogue Addressable systems. This is the most common AMPAC Addressable system being installed nowadays. In almost all cases, the FireFinder*Plus* is set-up as a wall-mounted unit with separate repeater panel for the external display. This certainly true of the larger units. Some smaller FireFinderPlus panels can be fitted with integrated displays in a rear-service configuration.

FireFinderPlus retrofitteded into existing FireFinder Cabinet.
## LoopSense

The LoopSense is another one of AMPAC's Addressable systems. This is much less common that the FireFinder range, and I've only found two of them. The LoopSense is always set-up as a wall-mounted unit with separate repeater panel for the external display.

## Full-Panel Mimic's

Mimic displays are frequently used with AMPAC Addressable systems. Often, these are full-size NZ3200-style panels. These are very common, as they have been in use much longer than the slim mimics.

## Slim Mimic's

A lot of newer Ampac systems use these thinner purpose-made Mimic displays.

## Custom & Modified Mimics/Panels

Sometimes AMPAC mimics or panels are retrofitted into cabinets made by other manufacturers, or are simply custom made to begin with. Here are some examples:

## Mimic Control Unit

This is a mimic control panel that allows you to control the system from other parts of the building. There are variants of these for different models, including both the FireFinder and FireFinder*Plus.*

## NZ100

The NZ100 was a single-zone conventional system. This panel is no longer made, as it has been replaced by the ZoneSense NZ1.
