Yes, you can replace the FSP-851R with the FSP-951R in your fire alarm system. However, there are a few things to consider:
Compatibility: The FSP-951R is compatible with the same systems as the FSP-851R, such as DNR/DNRW systems, and is FlashScan only. So, you won’t encounter any compatibility issues during the replacement process.
Wiring: The wiring connections for both devices are likely similar, but it’s always a good idea to double-check the wiring diagram for the FSP-951R to ensure proper installation. Also, make sure to follow any specific instructions provided in the FSP-951R’s manual.
Programming: Depending on your system setup, you may need to adjust some programming settings to accommodate the new device. This could include addressing the device on the loop and configuring any specific parameters for its operation.
Testing: Once installed, be sure to perform a comprehensive system test to verify that the new FSP-951R is functioning correctly and communicating with the rest of the system as expected. You can also take advantage of the remote test capability of the FSP-951R for added convenience during testing.
Overall, replacing the FSP-851R with the FSP-951R should be a straightforward process as long as you follow proper installation procedures and ensure compatibility with your existing system. If you encounter any difficulties or have any further questions, feel free to reach out for assistance.
