Pertronic FireMap Messaging Interface (FIREMAP-PAGER) is a software extension that enables Pertronic FireMap® systems to automatically send email, pager, or printed messages in response to pre-determined events.

The interface may be configured with multiple messages. Each message may include any mix of pre-defined text and FireMap database field values, such as device descriptors and event types. For example, a message might say that an alarm occurred at a certain time, initiated by a smoke detector in a certain part of a facility.

Each message may be initiated by a specific event, such as an alarm or fault, from any device, zone, or fire panel. Triggering events include inputs to analogue addressable devices such as loop responders or FireMap Ethernet gateways (FMEGATE). The system can be configured to send multiple messages in response to a single initiating event.

Each message can be individually tested.

Used in conjunction with an external SMS interface, Pertronic FireMap Messaging Interface may be configured to trigger text (SMS) messages.

The interface has a suspend function which halts messaging output for a pre-configured time period. This may be used, for example, to prevent transmission of nuisance messages during fire system testing or maintenance. The interface automatically returns to normal operation after the pre-configured suspend time period.
