2 Control panels and repeater panels

EFBW series -
BiWire Ultra control panel

Eaton’s new BiWire Ultra fire detection system is unlike Features

any other standard conventional system as the panel,
conventional detectors, sounders and EN54-23 approved
beacons all share the same zone wiring. This delivers
significant savings in both cable and installation costs
without sacrificing the systems capability.
Supporting up to 52 devices per zone, all panels in the
range have the facility to flash detector LED’s to facilitate
the location of any wiring faults.
• Choice of 2, 4 and 8 zone control panels
• Detectors and sounders share the same wiring
• One man test facility
• Class change input
• Interlink relay functionality for connecting 2 BiWire Ultra
panels together
• Supports an expansion card for Fire Routing Equipment,
Fire Protection Equipment and fire relays per zone.
• Modern and discreet enclosure

EFBW5IN1DET -
BiWire Ultra detector 5 in 1
The BiWire Ultra range offers a multi-mode, 5 in 1
detector, approved to both EN54 parts 5 & 7, which
covers many building needs. It’s quick and simple to
install with a stylish low profile design. The detector is
mounted on our standard conventional base (FXN520).
Each detector is fitted with a 360˚ viewable LED for
indication.
This 5 in 1 detector can be configured to operate as
either an optical detector, photo-thermal detector or 1
of 3 heat detector modes (rate of rise and 2 fixed heat
models) using the four position switches located at the
back of the detector. The EFBW5IN1DET is certified for
use in all 5 modes.
Features
• Five modes in one detector
• Offers a range of sensor types
• 360° indicator LED using lightpipe technology
• Positive “lock” indication
• Easy to maintain/service
Benefits
• Suitable for a broad range of applications
• Wide viewing angle for increased LED visibility
• Quick and simple to install
• Discreet design for incorporation into any decor

incorporate a detector mounting base allowing a
detector to be fitted directly to the base, or
alternatively a cover plate can be used to provide a
dedicated, discreet stand alone device.
Features
• Available in both sounder only and sounder VAD
• Certified to EN54-3 & EN54-23
• Cover plate (optional)
Benefits
• Offers a compact design and reduces time of
installation of the base with the detector
• Easy to maintain and service
