Global Fire Equipment (GFE) has expanded its fire protection portfolio with the launch of two new control panels, FALCON and FALCON Ex, designed for commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure applications.
The new range brings together certified fire detection and extinguishing control technology, with GFE saying the panels have been developed to support vigilance, reliability and precision across a range of fire safety environments.
FALCON is an intelligent conventional fire detection control panel intended to meet a wide range of building requirements, while FALCON Ex is a dedicated extinguishing control panel certified to EN12094-1 for fire suppression management.
According to GFE, the FALCON panel offers a scalable conventional fire detection solution with Double-Knock logic to help reduce unwanted alarms, cause-and-effect programming and EN54-certified reliability supported by comprehensive power supply monitoring.
FALCON Ex has been developed for applications where fire suppression performance is critical. The panel includes advanced discharge management, integrated Hold and Abort functions, and full monitoring of valves, pressure, release circuits and extinguishing status to support operational control.
Both panels are certified to EN54 and EN12094-1 requirements. GFE said the range has been created to meet the evolving needs of fire safety professionals by combining certified performance with ease of use.
José A. Azevedo, Business and Innovation Manager of the GSS Group, said: “Innovation remains a pillar of our international growth strategy. The FALCON range reinforces our commitment to delivering Portuguese-developed technology capable of meeting the fire safety challenges faced by customers around the world.”
