The Eagle Quantum Premier Controller is a microprocessor based module that performs all the communication and control functions for the fire and gas system. The controller is approved as an annunciation and releasing device for fire alarm systems.
The Local Operating Network/Signaling Line Circuit (LON/SLC), through which all field devices communicate, starts and ends its loop at the Controller. The Controller continuously monitors the field devices on the LON/SLC and performs the logic functions needed to generate the appropriate output(s).
The Controller performs both static and user programmable logic operations. Static logic activates built-in annunciation circuits, consisting of both visible and audible alarms, per ANSI NFPA 72.
Programmable logic allows the Controller to be customized to perform a variety of complex logic operations. Using Det-Tronics Safety System Software (S³), the Controller can be programmed to implement any cross-zone monitoring, voting, or timed operations that might be needed in a fire suppression system.

REDUNDANCY
Two EQP controllers can be configured as a redundant pair, thereby increasing the availability of the system. The controllers work in "Master" and "Hot Standby" mode. Under normal operating conditions, the Standby controller receives the same inputs and update information as the Master, but has no control over the outputs and does not execute user logic. In the event of a switchover, a bumpless transfer occurs. Controller redundancy offers the following features:
- Automatic configuration of the standby controller
- Bumpless transfer
- Forced and automatic switchover
- No downtime on controller replacement
- Automatic synchronization between controllers
- Increased system availability
