Get Backwards-Compatible Fire Alarm Monitoring with an Eye to the Future at Digitize

Over four decades since its inception, Digitize continues to innovate in the realm of life-safety monitoring systems.

In an industry that demands the utmost in quality and reliability, Digitize has carved a niche for itself as a leading provider of fire alarm monitoring systems. A key part of their success story is an unwavering commitment to their clients and an ethos that places quality at the heart of everything they do.

Digitize is backed by a rich history and a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. These continue to be trusted for meeting the NFPA 72 code and safeguarding public spaces, military bases, campuses, and more.

Prism LX forms the core of your fire alarm monitoring

The System 3505 Prism LX, an industry stalwart in central alarm monitoring systems, showcases the continuing prowess of Digitize. Armed with a color touchscreen display and extensive backward compatibility, the Prism LX streamlines and centralizes the collection and processing of alarm data from a myriad of different fire alarm control panels. Everything ends up on a unified display with a variety of printer-output and multi-user options.

Leveraging this technology, your existing fire panels can be tied together to a single remote signaling hub. This cost-effective solution eliminates the need to replace all the fire panels.

This type of seamless integration of Digitize equipment with pre-existing systems is exactly why we build and sell equipment. It fills a gap that many other manufacturers don't fill: What happens when you want to (or must) continue using your legacy equipment that is still fully functional today? How can you make it "play nice" with your newer systems (and newer staff)?

For clients grappling with older systems and technology from different eras, Digitize stands as a reliable partner. Backward compatibility up to 99% ensures you don’t need to invest millions in replacing an entire system. The Prism LX can categorize alarms, effectively managing data, and mitigating the potential need for a "fire watch" or other mandated procedures, which can be ridiculously resource-intensive.

Other Digitize devices connect your fire alarm monitoring system into a cohesive whole

Digitize's pioneering MuxPad is an essential link in your monitoring chain, responsible for transmitting crucial fire panel data back to the Prism LX.

VersAlarm panels, the advanced version of Mux Pad, are capable of operating over Ethernet and have a backup communication method. This dual functionality ensures that in the event of a LAN failure, critical information can still be transmitted back to the head end via an alternate method of communication. That gives you an additional layer of security.

A unique aspect of the Prism LX is its ability to communicate with equipment from other manufacturers. If you have devices from another brand and you want to retire that head end, the Prism LX can step in without necessitating the removal of existing field technology.

Prism LX can gather data through multiple methods, including RS485, copper wire, single-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber, two-way radio communications, and mesh radio, thereby ensuring uninterrupted monitoring.

Use PC displays to get alarms everywhere they need to go

Recognizing the demands of the modern workforce, Digitize's CGRMS software integrates seamlessly with Windows workstations. This high-end automation system not only allows direct interaction with the Prism LX, but also facilitates the export of data as CSV for historical recordkeeping.

Digitize is now a DPS Telecom company

This transition, according to John, signifies an era of rapid improvement and growth, while still preserving the fundamental essence of what makes Digitize a trusted name in fire alarm monitoring systems. There's been a significant revamp of the Test, Production, QC, Stock Room, and Shipping areas, adhering to the latest Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) safety standards.
