The 6000/LP4IO is an intelligent addressable fire alarm interface that sits directly on a Protec digital addressable loop. It serves as a critical integration point between Protec’s current generation fire alarm control panels and other third-party systems. For example: gas detection, lift controls, ventilation, and gas shut-off valves.

The interface features four independent input/output channels, enabling the 6000/LP4IO to interface with a range of third-party products.

When an external system such as a gas detector activates an input, the fire alarm system can respond by triggering corresponding outputs. For example, it can automatically shut off a gas valve to isolate supplies, stop elevators at the designated
floor, or initiate extraction systems during a fire scenario.

The 6000/LP4IO monitors the active state of each channel. Inputs or outputs are fully programmable via the DIP switches built into the device. A user can perform specific shutdown or control actions via the 6500’s cause and effects matrix or Boolean Logic.

The 6000/LP4IO interface uses the 6000PLUS protocol to report the device status in real time over the addressable loop, allowing seamless integration into the overall fire safety strategy.

Designed for life safety and building integration scenarios, the 6000/LP4IO ensures coordinated responses between the fire alarm system and critical building systems. This enhances both safety and operational control during a fire or emergency event.
