FFT-1000 Firefighter Telephone Motherboard 
Owner’s Manual
Description
The FFT-1000 Fire Fighter Telephone panel allows users from remote areas to effectively communicate with the FFT-1000 panel. The panel utilizes fireman’s phone jacks and remote fireman’s handsets to establish 2-way communication from the remote areas to the FFT1000. The panel can communicate in conjunction with the IPA-400V via P-Link or operate as a standalone system.
The panel is equipped with 24 Class B or 12 Class A phone circuits and is expandable by using the FFT-EXP. The FFT-EXP is a phone circuit expansion module that provides an additional 12 Class B or 6 Class A phone circuits.
The FFT-1000 can support up to 96 Class B or 96 Class A phone circuits to support small, medium, and hi-rise applications. The panel is equipped with an FSB-8 user interface to display activity and trouble conditions within the telephone system, and provides common user buttons such as Silence, Mute and Lamp Test. Phone circuits are automatically mapped to the FSB-24 switchboard in sequential order to engage and disengage incoming phone calls. Each push button has two corresponding LEDs to indicate phone activity and trouble conditions for specific zone.
