NFS2-640(E)
Intelligent Addressable
Fire Alarm System
Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels

General
The NFS2-640 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 prod-
ucts meet virtually every application requirement.
The NFS2-640’s modular design makes system planning eas-
ier. 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.
A host of other options are available, including single- or multi-
channel voice; firefighter’s telephone; LED, LCD, or PC-based
graphic annunciators; networking; advanced detection prod-
ucts for challenging environments; wireless fire protection; and
many additional options.
NOTE: Unless called out with a version-specific “E” at the end of
the part number, “NFS2-640” refers to models NFS2-640 and

NFS2-640E; similarly, “CPU2-640” refers to models CPU2-640
and CPU2-640E.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY RANGES
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0 –
49°C/32 – 120°F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH
(noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the
useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic
components may be adversely affected by extreme tempera-
ture ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that
this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment
with a normal room temperature of 15 – 27°C/60 – 80°F.
