General The NFS-320 intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is part of the ONYX® Series of Fire Alarm Controls from NOTIFIER. In stand-alone or network configurations, ONYX Series products meet virtually every application requirement. The NFS-320’s modular design makes system planning easier. The panel can be configured with just a few devices for small building applications, or networked with many devices to protect a large campus or a high-rise office block. Simply add additional peripheral equipment to suit the application. Wireless fire protection can be added with the SWIFT wireless gateway and devices. For installations using NFS-320C, an optional ACM Series annunciator can be mounted in the same cabinet (up to 48 zones/points, order separately; see DN-60085). NOTE: Unless called out with a version-specific “R”, “C” or “E” at the end of the part number, “NFS-320” refers to models NFS-320, NFS-320R, NFS-320C, and NFS-320E. ONYX® Series panels integrate with the Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) platform through the CLSS Gateway, providing connectivity to central station, cloud, and mobile applications. (See HON-62034.) This cloud-based functionality provides reliable protection and remote monitoring of the system, reduced manual data entry, and reporting.
