The Eaton Flexi Bi-Wire 8 Zone Fire Alarm Kit is a complete bi-wire fire detection solution designed for larger commercial sites that require multiple zones of coverage.
Built on the same bi-wire operating principle as the Fike Twinflex Pro 8 Zone system, it allows detectors, sounders, and manual call points to run on a single pair of cables per zone.
This makes it a practical, installer-friendly alternative for upgrading or expanding bi-wire installations using a familiar wiring format.
Supplied with an 8-zone Flexi Bi-Wire Control Panel, photo-thermal multi-sensor detectors, bi-wire sounder bases, manual call points, and Yuasa standby batteries, the kit includes everything needed to establish a robust multi-zone system.
The detectors use combined optical and heat sensing to reduce false alarms while delivering fast, accurate fire response.
Eaton’s bi-wire architecture allows efficient installation across larger buildings while maintaining clear zone separation and structured fire system design.
The 8-zone configuration is ideal for offices, hotels, HMOs, schools, warehouses and commercial premises that need greater zoning flexibility and system scalability.
