The launch debuts with the FLM-430-I2M1, a smart interface module engineered to enhance connectivity and control across multiple applications. It is fully compatible with the Avenar fire detector 4000 series.

Interface modules are important parts that connect fire alarm systems to various building applications, like fire dampers, signaling devices, and fire doors. This integration helps ensure a quick and effective response during fire emergencies. Additionally, interface modules offer diagnostic features, enabling safety managers to monitor and evaluate how well the system is working throughout the entire building.

• Multi-application, smart, compact - The Avenar IO module 4000 series introduces three key features:

• Multi-application versatility - Unlike traditional single-use modules, Avenar IO modules can be integrated into multiple fire safety functions, from monitoring sprinklers and dampers to controlling fire doors and signaling devices.

• Smart customisation - Configurable software allows for tailored solutions, ensuring compatibility with specific application requirements. The modules include a fail-safe option, enabling safety measures in case of power or communication failures.

• Compact design - The modules’ space-saving housing and easy installation on DIN rails make them ideal for use in confined spaces while reducing installation time and costs.

FLM-430-I2M1- the first in the series

As the first module in the Avenar IO 4000 series, the FLM-430-I2M1 has been designed to exemplify Bosch Building Technologies commitment to intelligent fire safety solutions. Designed for critical fire response functions, this module offers:

• Advanced damper control: The FLM-430-I2M1 allows precise damper settings, including partial or full open/close configurations. Fault detection is automated, with visual LED indications simplifying maintenance.

• Fail-safe functionality: In the event of a fieldbus failure or power loss, the module ensures that connected systems maintain safety standards. Users can configure responses to meet their specific needs, enhancing system reliability.

• Up to 1,000-metre cable length: With extended cabling capabilities, the module is suitable for large premises, making it ideal for projects requiring significant distances between connected systems.

• Energy efficiency: With a low energy consumption, the module supports system savings by enabling more devices to be included in a single system loop, reducing overall costs.

Wide range of applications

The FLM-430-I2M1 is designed to meet the challenges of complex environments, such as industrial sites, healthcare facilities and hotels and shopping malls.
