Potter PlusFire Alarm Control Panels

Potter Fire:We stand apart.When it comes to fire protection companies, Potter stands apart. Apart from the competition and apart from the

constraints of a large corporate mentality. Potter is the only independent manufacturer with a full line of fire alarm

systems.

We have been a leader in fire protection since 1898. As a privately held business, Potter is able to quickly respond and

react to our customers’ needs and provide the individual attention and service that each of our customers deserve.

Potter’s reputation for quality and service has been the catalyst towards our focus for the design, development, and

manufacture of the highest quality and most reliable life safety products available today. This is the reason that Potter

provides an industry leading 5-year warranty on all major products.

With this new line of fire panels and our full complement of modules, detectors, and notification devices, we begin a

new era in the Fire Alarm Industry. As an independent manufacturer with a full line, we know you’ll find it easy to do

business with us. Give us a call, send us an email, or visit our website. We look forward to serving you!

Training OpportunitiesPotter provides unmatched education and training opportunities on our full line

of fire alarm systems. Webinars on panel hardware, software, and network/

communications will bring you up to speed on our industry-leading technology.

Additionally, live training seminars are provided for advanced training in fire

alarm control panel installation and programming.

Smart Notifications

ConnectivityEmail Capabilities

With today’s ever-expanding means of communication, it’s important to be able to incorporate the same

technology into your fire control system. We took this technology into account when we designed the “Smart

Notifications” functionality within our new panels. The built-in email capabilities allow events to be sent as they occur.

The easy-to-use system software can be quickly updated via a networked computer. Receive updates on your

cell phone so you always know what’s going on with your panels, whenever and wherever you are.

The P-Series panels are email ready. History and

Detector Status reports can be sent on demand as

either a text or Excel® file for a professional look. The

status events of the panel can be immediately emailed

allowing users to be proactive in servicing customers.

Reports and the configuration file can be requested from

the panel at any time by sending an email directly to the

panel. Additionally, enhance your business by creating

email reminders for your customers to schedule system

tests or even to purchase new batteries.

The P-Series panels have the ability to connect to a

Local or Wide Area Network (LAN or WAN) and obtain

an IP address. The panel configuration software allows

custom programming and configuration for all points

using the network or a stand-alone computer. At the

click of a mouse, you can fine-tune device behavior

characteristics or create mapping zones for a more

sophisticated fire protection system. With the addition

of expansion cards, the use of high-speed fiber optic

networking cable can also be used.

Ethernet connection allows for programming from a stand-alone or networked computer.

Emails can be sent directly to the panel for status updates or to download configuration files.

1 Up to fifteen SLCE-127 Devices on P400. The P300 panel allows for two SLCE-127. For more information, please visit plus.pottersignal.com

allowing for more connections, circuits, and options

while minimizing the total enclosure footprint.

Optional Rack MountThe P-Series panels are network ready including rack

mount hardware options for remote Ethernet

communication connections, fiber optic cabling interfaces

or connection to a printer via the printer interface to
