Description
The 10-2411, Graphic Controller Card (Exhibit 2) provides the interface between the Intelligent Graphic Panel and the associated Fike control panel. Each graphic panel requires at least one (1) Graphic Controller Card, which is factory mounted to the panel’s back plate. The module distributes power and control for up to two (2) LED Interface Boards; each capable of driving up to 128 LEDs for a maximum number of 256 LEDs per Graphic Controller Card. As system events are received, the Graphic Controller Card will turn ON only one (1) LED at a time. The flash rate between each ON/OFF time is so short it appears that all active LEDs are on constantly. This design allows many LEDs to appear ON at the same time with minimal current being drawn from the system. The card is equipped with an on-board piezo to provide for local notification of system status changes.
