Integral IMAP: user-friendliness redefined
As a leading innovator in fire alarm systems, Schrack Seconet is an expert in early and reliable fire detection – renowned for solutions that meet all application situations and requirements because they are developed in close cooperation with tendering bodies, fire brigades and fire prevention bodies and rely on state-of-the-art technology. Schrack Seconet systems are also designed for long-term compatibility: this means that, in addition to uncompromising protection for people and property, maximum future security for investments is always guaranteed. This is also true of the new Integral IMAP operating panel, a revolutionary development that now takes Schrack Seconet fire alarm control panels to a new level in terms of design, handling and security. It meets all current and future fire protection requirements in every respect.
Innovative, integrative and intelligent
Integral IMAP is the next generation of the proven Integral MAP from Schrack Seconet. The additional ‘I’ in the name stands for technical progress with a high innovation factor: The new Integral IMAP – Integrative MAin operating Panel – operating panel integrates practical and efficient additions in its new version, which make the output of fire alarm systems even easier and safer.
Overall, the Integral IMAP operating panel impresses with its new design and many smart additional features: 10 freely programmable multi-colour LEDs offer an exceptionally good overview and adaptability. A larger monitor allows more information to be seen at a glance, and individual QR codes and shortcuts provide particularly quick access to important information. Why is this revolutionary? Because intuitive operating and display sequences are self-explanatory, require no complicated explanations and promote efficiency. This not only saves time and money, but also helps to maintain an overview in critical moments and minimise stress.
But Integral IMAP has even more ‘I’ to offer. The system is also customisable, interactive, intelligent and investment-proof – because it has helpful functions, offers mobile solutions, is flexibly adaptable and easy to expand or retrofit.
Modular and easy to upgrade
Integral IMAP is more than just technological progress: it is an intelligent solution tailored to the needs of modern fire protection. This also means that the switch from the previous version to Integral IMAP is possible without extensive training thanks to the intuitive operating logic, and the new operating panel can be easily exchanged for the previous model. The reason: it is compatible with the existing system bus and existing cabling and can be easily integrated into the existing SW platform (from version 9.1). The new case can also be combined with the existing back plate and module rack. Integral EvoxX cases are therefore 100% backward compatible with all Schrack Seconet systems. This helps to minimise expenditure for retrofitting, functional changes or expansions.
B, C or M: The right control panel for every requirement
The newly designed Integral IMAP operating panel makes the new Integral EvoxX control panels the modern heart of the fire alarm system: They impress with their visual clarity, unique functionality and modular case expansion stages that can be optimally adapted to the needs of customers and properties. They are all powerful and compact and work with both integrated and external control and display devices. Starting with the basic version: The Integral EvoxX B control panel was specially developed to protect smaller properties and protects, for example, unoccupied technical systems, underground car parks, restaurants, department stores, petrol stations and schools. With this device, Schrack Seconet now also has a single-zone extinguishing control panel in the smallest category in its portfolio – with TCP/IP interface, networkable via TCP/IP with one loop (max. 250 elements), software redundancy and EPI-bus interface.
The Integral EvoxX C control panel, on the other hand, protects medium-sized properties such as residential complexes, large supermarkets or hotels. It can create up to four loops and a maximum of 1,000 elements per control panel, can be networked and has TCP/IP, MMI and EPI-bus interfaces as well as software redundancy. This means that, in the event of an incident, the system can seamlessly take over operation and the property is protected at all times.
The powerful and networkable Integral EvoxX M control panel is the multi-zone extinguishing control panel in the Schrack Seconet portfolio. It is particularly suitable for protecting large properties and buildings such as industrial facilities, office buildings, airports, hospitals, shopping centres and much more. The modular, decentralised system design forms the basis for standard-compliant modernisation of old systems – with up to 16 loops (max. 4,000 elements per control panel). In addition to the features of the C control panels, this model has hardware and software redundancy and is suitable as a module rack compatible with wall and floor-standing cabinets.
New apps as useful add-ons
The entire Integral IMAP system is highly functional, truly smart and stands out thanks to its unique flexibility. This is due in part to newly developed applications that provide additional support for operating Schrack Seconet fire alarm systems. With the new Integral Mobile, for example, you can maintain control from anywhere: Three intuitive new monitors – ‘Operate’, “Alarm” and ‘Information’ – as well as the event list make the operation and monitoring of Schrack Seconet fire alarm systems particularly easy and convenient. Integral Mobile can also be used as a remote operating unit in accordance with ÖNORM F3000 for permanently manned locations, ensuring that alarms and faults are transmitted to the fire protection authority.
The newly developed Integral AR app, which makes use of augmented reality, is also truly innovative. It answers questions about the Integral IMAP operating panel within seconds: All you need to do is hold a smartphone or tablet in front of the real operating panel and the information is displayed virtually on the mobile display. Whether you need explanations of button functions or step-by-step instructions for essential operating procedures, direct querying via the Integral AR app ensures that time-consuming queries or reading through user manuals are a thing of the past.
The design of the newly developed Integral IMAP confirms that it is a convincing overall concept: the new operating panel has been awarded both the Red Dot Award and the German Design Award.
