FM2800 - Tetra and GSM connectivity for wired systems

FM2800 is an alarm signal communicator. It had been designed to allow users of FM2000 and FM2200 Mobile Alarm Systems to monitor other alarm panels on FM2000/FM2200 alarm receiver software. The unit connects to the alarm signaling outputs from any traditional wired alarm panel and communicates directly with the FM alarm receiver software.

The unit is designed to provide communication over Tetra Airwave, the GSM Mobile Network and PSTN telephone lines. For users of FM’s receiver software, either in stand alone format or integrated with command and control, this facility helps to enhance efficiency by allowing operators to use a single monitoring/reporting system.
