It is only possible to efficiently protect buildings, public, commercial and industrial facilities as well as domestic

residences and workplaces with a fire alarm system at reasonable expense if such a system is based on and

forms a part of sound overall safety concepts and is effectively implemented. The fire alarm control panel FlexES

Control is the answer for all such users as well as small commercial and large industrial users who require

maximum safety, reliability and efficiency from their fire alarm systems and make consistent use of safety

technology, in particular. The modular structure of the fire alarm control panel FlexES Control and unique expansion

concept allows it to be fitted with various user-specific micro modules, making it easy to adapt to all user-specific

requirements.

The fire alarm control panel FlexES Control is a state-of-the-art fire alarm system component. The use of intelligent

fire alarms on short-circuit and fault-tolerant loops guarantees that fires are reliably detected at an early point in

time.

This loop - the esserbus® / esserbus®-PLus - can hold up to 127 bus devices, which can be split into 127 individual

zones, on a line measuring a total of 3500 metres. The esserbus® is a two-wire line which can be used with a loop

/ stub line topology and is energised and monitored from two sides. The fire alarm control panel FlexES Control

automatically detects the loop's wiring configuration and uses this information to determine the logical addresses

of the individual bus devices. This means that the addresses do not have to be separately entered on the individual

bus devices. Systems featuring the esserbus®-PLus loop, on the other hand, can also additionally be directly fitted

with addressable, bus-compatible alarm devices. These esserbus®-PLus-controlled alarm devices do not require

an additional power supply.
