Use cases and scenarios where the 795‑102 excels
- When specifying a DXc panel for a new build, integrating the OEM 40‑zone LED card from the outset provides immediate, professional annunciation without customisation. This is particularly valuable in multi‑zone commercial buildings such as offices, retail centres and schools.
- Facilities expanding their detection coverage or migrating to DXc control panels can use this kit to add comprehensive zone annunciation without altering the main enclosure. The plug‑in ribbon cable simplifies the upgrade process.
- When an existing LED annunciator is faulty or damaged, the 795‑102 serves as a direct OEM replacement. Using the original kit preserves fit, finish and reliability.
- High‑occupancy or safety‑critical sites (healthcare, transport hubs, large warehouses) benefit from the instant visual clarity provided by 40 discrete LEDs, helping staff and first responders identify incident location quickly.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
There are a few common approaches to zone annunciation for fire alarm control panels: OEM front‑door LED cards (like the 795‑102), third‑party annunciator modules and fully remote graphical or touchscreen annunciators. Each approach has pros and cons:
- OEM front‑door LED card (795‑102):Best for neat integration and predictable fit. Advantages include direct compatibility, minimal installation time and a factory look. It’s an economical and robust option for sites that want a standard, proven annunciation method.
- Third‑party LED modules:May offer cost savings or custom layouts but often require modifications, extra wiring and can result in a less polished appearance. They can be appropriate where OEM parts are unavailable or for highly custom installations, but they increase installation complexity and potential warranty or compatibility concerns.
- Remote graphical/touchscreen annunciators:Provide richer information — zone maps, event logs and operator controls — and are useful for large or distributed systems where a single point of control is needed. However, they are more expensive, require configuration and may be overkill for smaller sites that only need simple zone LEDs.
For organisations using Morley‑IAS DXc panels that want straightforward, factory‑matched zone indication at a modest cost, the 795‑102 often represents the most balanced choice.
Installer and customer feedback (typical)
While there are no individual customer reviews quoted here, common feedback themes from installers and system integrators who specify OEM annunciator kits like the 795‑102 include:
- “Plug‑and‑play convenience”:Installers frequently appreciate that the kit is supplied with the ribbon cable and fixings, reducing time on site and easing commissioning.
- “Consistent fit and finish”:Customers value the integrated look when the LED card matches the panel door instead of appearing as an add‑on.
- “Reliable and durable”:OEM boards typically provide dependable long‑term performance, with reduced need for service visits compared with improvised annunciators.
- “Good value for what it does”:For many projects the 795‑102 delivers a clear functionality at a sensible cost compared with higher‑end remote annunciators.
Pricing and purchasing considerations
The supplied pricing information suggests a cost price of £64.33 and a suggested retail price of £78.00. For procurement teams and installers, this positions the 795‑102 as an affordable OEM accessory. When budgeting, factor in any labour for a qualified fire alarm engineer to isolate power, fit the card and test the panel after installation.
Installation, safety and compliance reminders
- Always isolate power to the control panel before fitting the LED card and follow site health and safety protocols.
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified fire alarm engineer familiar with Morley‑IAS equipment and local regulations.
- Check the product labelling for CE/UKCA markings and ensure the completed installation meets relevant local UK/EU standards and guidance.
- If there is any uncertainty, consult Honeywell / Morley‑IAS technical documentation or contact an authorised representative.
