Eaton Flexi Bi-Wire 8 Zone Fire Alarm Kit (604-0008 Equivalent)
Code: TF200-182
The Eaton Flexi Bi-Wire 8 Zone Fire Alarm Kit provides a comprehensive bi-wire fire detection system tailored for larger commercial buildings that require multiple zones of protection.
Using the same bi-wire operating method as the Fike Twinflex Pro 8 Zone system, it enables detectors, sounders, and manual call points to share a single cable pair per zone.
This makes it a convenient and installer-friendly option for expanding or replacing existing bi-wire installations while keeping a familiar wiring approach.
The kit comes complete with an 8-zone Flexi Bi-Wire Control Panel, photo-thermal multi-sensor detectors, bi-wire sounder bases, manual call points, and Yuasa standby batteries, giving you everything needed to build a dependable multi-zone system.
Each detector combines optical and heat sensing to minimise false alarms and ensure rapid, accurate fire detection.
Eaton’s bi-wire system design supports efficient installation throughout larger premises while maintaining clear zone separation and a structured fire safety layout.
This 8-zone setup is well-suited to offices, hotels, HMOs, schools, warehouses, and other commercial environments that require strong zoning flexibility and system scalability.
