Wide Device Compatibility

The Hikvision HF-C104 Fire Alarm Control Panel is designed to work with compatible conventional fire detection and alarm devices. These can include smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual call points, sounders, bells and other compatible notification equipment.

This allows installers to configure an appropriate conventional fire alarm system according to the requirements of the protected building. Device selection and system configuration should always be based on the specific fire risks, building layout and applicable fire safety requirements.

Up to 128 Conventional Devices

The Hikvision 4-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel supports up to 32 conventional devices on each zone. With four zones available, the HF-C104 provides a rated capacity of up to 128 conventional devices.

This capacity makes the panel suitable for small and medium-sized fire protection installations where multiple areas need to be monitored from a central control point.

Fire Alarm and Fault Monitoring

The HF-C104 Conventional Fire Alarm Panel provides dedicated indicators and monitoring functions for fire alarm and fault conditions. The panel can identify alarm conditions and provide corresponding visual and audible indications.

The system also includes fire alarm and fault relay outputs, allowing compatible external equipment or monitoring systems to receive the relevant status signals. Correct installation and configuration should be performed by qualified personnel.

Integrated Audible Alarm

The Hikvision HF-C104 includes an integrated buzzer for audible notification. The manufacturer’s technical documentation specifies an alarm sound pressure level of 75dB at 1 metre for the panel’s alarm function.

In addition to the internal audible indication, the panel provides dedicated fire bell outputs for connecting compatible external notification devices.

Multiple Communication Interfaces

The Hikvision HF-C104 Fire Alarm Control Panel includes several interfaces for system integration and configuration. These include one Ethernet interface, one RS-485 interface and one USB interface.

The panel also provides auxiliary power interfaces and a dedicated 24V output for compatible equipment. These connection options provide flexibility when integrating the control panel into a broader conventional fire alarm installation.

Fire Bell and Relay Outputs

The HF-C104 Fire Alarm Control Panel provides two fire bell outputs for compatible notification equipment. The specifications identify the fire bell outputs as 27.5V/500mA for all outputs.

The panel also provides one fire alarm relay output and one fault relay output. These outputs can be used for suitable external system integration according to the installation design.

Backup Battery Power

The Hikvision 4-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel supports backup power through two 12V, 2200mAh sealed lead-acid batteries. This backup arrangement is designed to help maintain panel operation when the primary mains supply is unavailable.

The main power supply specification is 110V to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz. The combination of mains and backup power provides an additional layer of operational continuity for the fire alarm control system.

Local Silence, Reset and Self-Test

The HF-C104 Conventional Fire Alarm Panel includes local silence, reset and self-test functions. These features support routine system operation, testing and maintenance.

The self-test functionality can help qualified personnel check the panel’s operating condition, while the silence and reset functions provide local control during appropriate alarm and testing procedures.

Wall or Built-In Installation

The Hikvision HF-C104 features an ultra-slim metal cabinet with hidden hinges. The design supports wall mounting as well as built-in installation, providing flexibility for different building layouts.

The panel measures approximately 300mm wide, 220mm high and 80mm deep. Its metal enclosure is designed for professional fire alarm system installations.

Communication Distance

The Hikvision HF-C104 Fire Alarm Control Panel supports a maximum communication distance of up to 500 metres when using the specified RVS 2 × 1.5mm² flame-retardant cable configuration.

The actual achievable wiring distance depends on the installation, connected devices, cable specification and applicable system requirements. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct system performance.
