Fire detection systems

Modular rack-mounted addressable fire alarm control panel

The R6000 is a range of 19" rack-mounted, fully modular addressable fire alarm control panels available in 2 or 4 loop capacity. Designed to be housed in either Eaton's own 19" floor rack unit (39UECRACK) or in non-Eaton 19" rack units, the R6000 range enables buildings to house the fire alarm control panel either in server, rack or control rooms instead of mounted to the wall.

Alongside housing multiple fire alarm control panels together in one unit it also enables several independent building management systems to be housed collectively. Simplifying the installation and ongoing use of the various systems for end users. Making it a dynamic option for medium to larger sized sites which require numerous control systems and networked fire alarm control panels.

Networkable to other Eaton addressable panels, repeaters and mimic panels as well as an alarm manager graphic system, the system can support up to 126 panels in one arrangement. The flexible nature of the system allows for modules to be added or removed without major modification even after manufacture and commissioning has taken place.

Upgrade to xDetect

From 31/12/2025, Eaton will no longer accept orders for this legacy panel or its spare parts. Support and training will subsequently be discontinued from 31/12/2027.

Eaton recommends transitioning to xDetect.

                                

xDetect is the natural successor to this control panel, offering the same great features and reliability as our legacy range but adding in cybersecurity and further functionality.

Due to its innovative design and modular system architecture, xDetect is easy to expand and adapt in line with the changing needs of building owners. This means that upgrading to a new fire platform has never been easier.

    For medium to large sites with a central server, rack or control rooms

    On medium to large sites, the installation of multiple fire alarm control panels can be a costly and protracted endeavour. What the R6000 offers is the opportunity to have numerous networked control panels in one room.

    Hidden away from the public, it removes the requirement to mount the networked control panels on multiple walls. Speeding up installation time by eliminating one task of many for integrators and keeping the building's architect happy by lessening the impact of the system on the structure's walls.

    Modular design with the ability to combine multiple building management systems in one unit

    Based on a standard rack configuration the R6000 can combine a number of different modules including fire detection, alarm signalling, public address/voice alarm and plant control in one unit. Bringing various building management service together in one easy to use and maintain rack unit.

    No task too large with up to 65,512 addressable points

    When we say the R6000 is designed for large sites we really mean it. Engineered to enable up to 126 x 19" rack modules the system can support 504 loops, the equivalent of 64,512 addressable points.

    Don't worry if you don't want to use the full system capacity, each rack can be customised to meet the demands of your project with 2 or 4 loop rack panels and blanking plates available to enable a tidy finish on the slam-latch lock door fronted unit.

    Maintenance at the touch of a screen

    Touch screens have come to dominate how we interact with many systems in everyday life and Eaton was at the forefront of bringing the technology to the fire market with the CF3000. 14 years later and we've continued to evolve its use enabling the R6000 interface to be versatile and easy to use for any end user.
