Rafiki Twinflex 2 Zone Fire Alarm Panel (502 0002)
The Rafiki Twinflex 2 Zone Fire Alarm Panel is used to form a Twinflex 2 Wire Fire Alarm System.
Incorporating the Rafiki Multipoint detector with built-in sounder means the whole system can be installed using only one pair of wires.
All Rafiki Twinflex systems have the 'Checkpoint' alarm confirmation feature drastically reducing false alarms. Checkpoint alarm confirmation drastically reduces the disruption and cost associated with false alarms, particularly during the settling-in-period following installation.
Rafiki Twinflex 2 Zone Fire Alarm Panel Features
- Two wire installation - only one curcuit per zone to connect detectors and sounders
- Installation savings as high as 40% - save on cable, installation time and sounders

How many devices can be fitted to the Twinflex 2 Zone Control Panel?
32 Devices per zone can be fitted.
Can non Twinflex devices be used with Twinflex panels?
No. The Twinflex system must utilise Rafiki Multipoint detectors and manual call points - other makes of detector and call point are not compatible with the system.
Rafiki field devices are not compatible with other manufacturers' control equipment.

What is a Twinflex control panel?
The Twinflex Control Panel is a conventional fire alarm controller, but the enhanced operation of the Multipoint detector provides many of the features of an analogue detection system. The panel is available in 2, 4 or 8 zones, with each zone able to accommodate the Multipoint detector (with or without sounder), sounder only, manual call point, and output unit.
What are the battery requirements for the Twinflex 2, 4 & 8 zone panels?
Battery Requirements:
- 2/4 Zone 72hr: - 2 x 2.aAh 12v
- 8 Zone 24hr: - 2 x 3.3Ah 12v
- 8 Zone 72hr: - 2 x 7Ah 12v
What are the dimensions of the Twinflex control panels?
W x 313mm
D x 94mm
H x 263mm
These apply to the 2, 4 & 8 zone panels.
What panel Inputs and Ouputs does the Twinflex control panel have?
The Twinflex 2, 4 & 8 zone panels have the following:
1 x monitored sounder circuit - The control panel also offers one conventional sounder/bell ouput which can be used to drive sounders not exceeding the output capacity of 2/4 zn = 500mA fuse, 8 zn = 1A fuse. It should be noted that the use of this circuit only does not comply with British Standards, therefore at least one other sounder (or integral sounder) on a seperate zone is necessary.
1 x monitored relay circuit
1 x common fire relay SPCO - A common Fire output is provided and consists of a volt-free changeover contact which can be used to signal a fire to a remote location or interface with building services.
1 x common fault relay SPCO - A common Fault output is provided and consists of normally-open (NO) volt-free contacts which close when the Fault LED is lit, and can be used to signal a fault to a remote location.
1 x non latching input -
1 x 24v DC auxiliary supply - A 24v DC auxiliary output is provided to power ancillary devices such as door retainers, dampers, etc. The maximum load that can be supported is 250mA, but it should be noted that the addition of ancillary devices may compromise the standby battery capacity.
Repeater inputs and outputs
Where is the best place to install a Twinflex control panel?
The control panel should if possible be located near to the main entrance to the premises so that it is accessible by the fire brigade and authorised personnel. It should not be positioned where it is liable to be damaged by equipment, e.g. trolleys, etc., or is accessible to the general public.
Where a repeater panel is specified the same criteria apply.
The panel should be mounted on a flat wall surface with the indications at approximately eye level. Ensure that the panel door is able to open fully for internal access, and that adjacent equipment cannot damage or interfere with the panel.
Cable entry is via removable 'knockouts' in the cabinet. Cable entry holde should not be made elsewhere in the cabinet as damage may be caused to the electronic circuitry, or battery siting may be compromised.
Do the Rafiki Twinflex panels come supplied with batteries?
No. You will need to purchases a suitable battery from our list of batteries here.
Which size cable do I use with the Rafiki Twinflex panels?
All size Rafiki Twinflex Panels require the 2 Core 1.5mm size cable.Other Options
