CONTROLS & DISPLAYS
System Features
The Protec Algo-Tec
TM
 6300 is an interactive digital 
addressable fire detection and alarm system ideally 
suited for small , medium & large sized buildings such 
as nursing homes, hotels and offices. The control panel 
is designed and manufactured by Protec to comply with 
EN 54-2 & 4. The control panel is available as surface 
or recessed mounted with a moulded polycarbonate 
hinged door finished in storm grey, or optionally with 
polished solid brass or brushed stainless steel finish for 
recess mounting only.
Secure Network
Up to 32 Algo-Tec
TM
 6300 control and repeat panels 
and illuminated zonal mimics can be interconnected 
using the optional add in 6300 network card. Wired as 
a loop the networks dual channel fault tolerant RS485 
ensures that no single fault can disable the system. In 
the event of multiple faults, each panel will function 
independently. The network can be wired using copper 
or fibre optic cables. 
Non Networked Stand Alone System
For small single panel systems, the serial communication 
link can be utilised to signal, up to 4 repeat panels using 
a 4 core screened cable. A network card is not required.
Loops
Each 6300 control panel is equipped with 1, 2 or 4 high 
capacity Algo-Tec
TM
 digital addressable data loops, with 
up to 191 address capacity per loop. Total panel devices 
is restricted to 512 inputs to comply with EN54 part 2. In 
addition to sensors, interfaces and manual call points 
the loop can also support loop powered SOUNDERS, 
BEACONS and OPTICAL BEAM DETECTORS. Loop 
powered sounder bases adopt the sensor address to 
increase the capacity of the loops still further, resulting 
in reduced cabling requirements, simplified installation 
and associated cost savings.
Alarms
In addition to loop powered sounders and beacons, 4 
programmable fully monitored alarm outputs are provided 
at the panel for alternative wiring arrangements.
Auxiliary Contacts
One set of double pole changeover contacts, which are 
programmable.

INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ADDRESSABLE
FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
6300 Loop Powered LCD Repeat Display
The 6300/LOOP/LCD can be connected directly to the local Algo-Tec
TM
 digital 
addressable data loop and takes up just one address. The facia displays power, fire, 
fault, disablement and more alarms. 
Fire and fault events are displayed on the 2x40 character LCD display and automatically 
scroll. A backlight ensures that the events can be read in all lighting situations. Fire 
events have highest priority and inhibit the display of fault events. A new event initiates 
the internal buzzer and a mute button allows the internal buzzer to be muted. 
Loop standby/Alarm load 60mA.
6300 Illuminated Zonal Mimic 
The Protec 6300 customised, illuminated zonal mimic can be connected to the 6300 
control panel in the same way as the 6300 repeat panel. The Illuminated mimic is housed 
in a matching enclosure to the control and repeat panels. The fascia is manufactured 
from Kemco finished in anodised aluminium effect and can be engraved to our clients 
scaled drawing typically detailing the building outline and zonal areas and has a viewing 
area of 360(W)mm x 340(H)mm . Up to 32 LED’s can be placed on the fascia and will be 
illuminated by the appropriate zone activation. The illuminated mimic is available as 
surface or recessed mounted with a hinged door finished in storm grey, or optionally 
with a polished solid brass or brushed stainless steel finish recess mounting enclosure 
and an engraved Kemco fascia in anodised aluminium or brushed brass effect finish.
