The Gulfcraft Building project in Maldives required a reliable and user-friendly fire alarm control system for building fire detection, alarm monitoring, and emergency response management.

For this project, ANWETECH supplied the AT-F102 touch screen addressable fire alarm panel, configured as a 2-loop addressable fire alarm control panel. The system was designed to manage approximately 150 addressable detectors installed across the building.

The AT-F102 is a touch-sensitive addressable fire detection panel. According to the product datasheet, the AT-F102 supports up to 4 circuits, with each loop supporting up to 324 addressable points depending on the configured loop board. The panel is designed for compliance with EN 54-2 and EN 54-4 requirements, and provides a touch-sensitive user interface with event display and operation menu.

This project demonstrates how a touch screen fire alarm control panel can be used for medium-scale building applications where easy operation, clear event display, addressable device management, and future expansion capacity are required.

Fire Risk Analysis

For a building project such as the Gulfcraft Building in Maldives, the fire alarm system must provide early detection and clear alarm information for different protected areas. Typical building fire risks may include electrical rooms, service areas, occupied spaces, corridors, ceiling areas, and equipment zones.

A conventional fire alarm system can provide zone-level alarm information, but for a project with around 150 detectors, an addressable system offers better device identification and maintenance convenience. Each addressable detector can be monitored individually by the fire alarm control panel, helping the operator identify the alarm location more clearly during a fire or fault event.

In this project, the use of an addressable fire alarm panel supports faster troubleshooting, clearer fire event display, and easier system management compared with a basic non-addressable system.

Why This Product Was Selected

The ANWETECH AT-F102 touch screen addressable fire alarm panel was selected for this project because it matched the system scale and operation needs of the Gulfcraft Building.

The key reasons include:

1. Suitable capacity for around 150 detectors
   The project used one 2-loop AT-F102 panel. The AT-F102 platform supports up to 4 circuits, and each loop can support up to 324 addressable devices depending on the configured loop board. This provides sufficient capacity for the current project and allows design flexibility.
2. Touch screen operation
   The panel provides a touch screen interface for operation. The main screen shows system status and events such as fire, fault, and disable conditions, while the menu allows access to system settings, device configuration, and records.
3. Addressable fire alarm control
   For a building with many detection points, an addressable fire alarm control panel helps identify the exact device or area related to a fire alarm or fault condition.
4. Supervised outputs for fire alarm system reliability
   The datasheet shows supervised output functions with 10kΩ end-of-line monitoring for circuits such as sounder and fire outputs, which supports monitored system wiring and helps detect abnormal circuit conditions.
5. Communication expansion possibility
   The AT-F102/AT-F103 platform supports networking or communication expansion modules such as RS485/Modbus, depending on project configuration.

System Design Concept

The fire alarm system design for the Gulfcraft Building was based on a centralized addressable fire alarm control structure.

The 2-loop AT-F102 addressable FACP was used as the main fire alarm control panel. Around 150 addressable detectors were distributed across the building according to the project layout and fire detection requirements.

The system design concept focused on:

• Centralized fire alarm monitoring from one main control panel
• Addressable detector management for clearer alarm location identification
• Touch screen operation for easier system status viewing and daily maintenance
• Loop-based wiring structure for organized field device connection
• Future flexibility within the AT-F102 platform capacity

The datasheet also shows typical addressable loop connection with detectors, input/output modules, sounder strobes, and loop isolators. It recommends installing loop isolators at intervals of no more than 32 addressable devices to limit the consequence of a loop short circuit.

System Configuration

The AT-F102 front panel provides touch screen operation for common engineering functions such as silence/resound, reset, disable/enable, records viewing, and zone/device testing during commissioning.

Installation and Commissioning

During installation, the AT-F102 panel was used as the main control unit for the building fire alarm system. The addressable detectors were connected to the fire alarm loops based on the project wiring design.

The installation and commissioning process included:

1. Panel installation and power connection
2. Addressable loop wiring and device connection
3. Detector addressing and system configuration
4. Fire alarm, fault, and device status verification
5. Sounder/output circuit checking where applicable
6. System reset, silence/resound, disable/enable, and record function testing
7. Final functional testing before project handover

The product datasheet shows that the AT-F102/AT-F103 panel uses an integrated operator panel, metal enclosure, and internal space for backup battery and optional function boards, which supports clean wiring and installation.

Project Value

The Gulfcraft Building project benefits from a modern touch screen addressable fire alarm control panel that provides clear system visibility and practical operation for building fire safety management.

The project value includes:

• Improved fire alarm location identification through addressable detection
• Easier operation using a touch screen fire alarm control panel
• Centralized monitoring of approximately 150 detectors
• Flexible 2-loop system configuration for the project scale
• Expandable platform for future system requirements
• Better maintenance support through event display, records, and device testing functions

For building owners, contractors, and system integrators, the AT-F102 provides a practical solution when a project requires an addressable fire alarm panel with touch screen operation and professional system management functions.
