Description
The Notifier NFC-FFT FirstCommand Firefighter Telephone System provides secure and reliable emergency communication for firefighters inside compatible buildings and facilities. This standalone system controls and supervises local and remote firefighter telephone handsets. In addition, its built-in display and keypad provide clear indications of telephone activation and system trouble conditions.
Firefighter Emergency Communication
The Notifier NFC-FFT provides a dedicated communication network for firefighters during emergency operations. Remote firefighter telephone jacks can be installed throughout a building, allowing emergency personnel to connect compatible handsets and communicate with the central control location.
The system supports up to 24 remote telephone connections. Therefore, it can provide communication coverage across multiple areas of a facility.
Up to 10 firefighters can connect compatible remote handsets and communicate simultaneously. As a result, the system supports coordinated communication during emergency response operations.
Built-In SLC Supervision
An onboard Signaling Line Circuit continuously monitors connected firefighter telephone equipment. Installers can configure the SLC for Class B Style 4 or Class A Style 6 operation.
The system also supports Class A Style 7 configurations when installers use the appropriate fault isolator modules. Therefore, system designers can select a wiring configuration that meets the requirements of the installation.
Auto-Program Function
The built-in Auto-program feature simplifies system setup. When activated, the system searches the SLC loop for connected devices and automatically recognizes existing firefighter telephone jacks.
After the system identifies the devices, technicians can accept the configuration and place the system into supervised operation. This feature can reduce configuration time during installation and service.

Remote Phone Jack Support
The system works with compatible N-FPJ remote firefighter phone jacks. These jacks provide connection points throughout the building for portable firefighter handsets.
When a firefighter plugs a compatible FHS-F handset into a remote jack, the central system identifies the active telephone circuit. The operator can then use the Answer Call control to establish communication.
Compatible Accessories
Several accessories expand the capabilities of the system. The FHS-F Firefighter Handset provides portable communication through compatible telephone jacks.
The N-FPJ Remote Phone Jack mounts to a standard single-gang electrical box. In addition, FHSC recessed and surface-mount cabinets provide storage for firefighter handsets.
The system can also use NMM-100P addressable monitor modules. Up to 24 of these modules can monitor remote firefighter handset connections.
N100-ISO fault isolator modules can provide additional SLC protection when the system requires supported Style 7 wiring.
System Controls and Indicators
The front interface provides controls for common system operations. Auto-program searches for connected SLC devices, while the Accept control confirms the detected configuration.
The Answer Call control connects the local handset to an active remote telephone circuit. In addition, the Trouble Silence control allows an operator to silence an indicated system trouble condition.
Status LEDs provide visual information about system operation. Therefore, operators and technicians can quickly identify communication and trouble conditions.
Typical Applications
The Notifier NFC-FFT can support emergency communication requirements in many commercial and institutional buildings. Typical applications include schools, nursing homes, factories, theaters, auditoriums, military facilities, restaurants, places of worship, and office buildings.
The system is especially useful in larger facilities where firefighters may need dependable communication between remote building locations and a central command area.
Installation and Compatibility
Always verify system configuration, SLC wiring, telephone jack requirements, standby power, and applicable code requirements before installation.
Qualified fire alarm professionals should install, program, commission, and test the system. In addition, technicians should follow NOTIFIER documentation and applicable fire and life-safety requirements.
Overall, this NOTIFIER firefighter telephone system provides a dedicated communication platform for emergency personnel. Its support for 24 remote connections, simultaneous operation of up to 10 handsets, supervised SLC wiring, Auto-program capability, and system status controls make it a comprehensive solution for compatible life-safety applications.
