Bosch FPD-7024-LT Fire Panel We have been advised by an authorized Bosch distributor that the FPD-7024 series has been discontinued and that the specified FPD-7024-LT may no longer be available through normal U.S. distribution. Has NPS already acquired this panel for the project? If not, will NPS accept a current Bosch replacement or approved equivalent?
