The Omni8P alarm annunciator is now available from Omniflex with a pushbutton station and audible alarm integrated into the front of the unit.
The Omni8P alarm annunciator is now available from Omniflex.
The P stands for pushbutton as the pushbutton station and audible alarm are integrated into the front of the unit.
The Omni8P has all the functionality of an annunciator application integrated into a single unit - annunciator, pushbuttons and audible alarm - no other auxiliary devices are required.
The Omni8P is a 2 x 4 display with integrated pushbuttons and audible alarm situated below the windows and is the same size as an Omni16C.
This may beg the question why does Omniflex have an Omni8P if it already manufactures the Omni8C.
Well, first, the Omni8P offers a fully integrated completely self-contained annunciator with pushbuttons and audible alarm built in.
Secondly it can be added to any combinations of Omni16C annunciators to form larger fully integrated annunciator system.
And thirdly it provides a direct replacement for older Omni8As and Omni8Bs.
The Omni8P is the successor to the Omni8A or B annunciators.
Initially when the Omni8C and Omni16C were introduced the company had no equivalent replacement of the Omni8A/B as the Omni8C is a half sized unit with four rows of two windows.
The Omni8A and B were full Omni16 size, populated with two rows of four windows with integrated pushbuttons and audible.
The Omni8P now fulfils this role for replacements.
Apart from the obvious stand-alone applications of the Omni8P are the requirements for 24 point or larger annunciators where both an Omni16 and Omni8 are fitted in the same cutout - one below the other - to form a single annunciator unit.
With the pushbuttons and audible alarm built into the Omni8P it's a simple matter of connecting the common services for a fully functional integrated annunciator system without any extra addon components and minimal wiring.
Omni8P also comes with all the optional enhancements that are available on new OmniC series such as optional mains input, Modbus serial port, repeat relay outputs etc.
