What's the difference between a Mimic Panel and a Repeater panel?

Fire Alarm System components.

A repeater panel is a remotely located panel which gives access to main panel controls. It normally has only a communication cable connecting it to the main panel (RS-485 or IEEE) but allows you to see all the same information as the main panel and perform all the same functions from a remote location.

It would be common to find a repeater panel placed near a reception or security area for easy access. While the actual fire panel would be out of sight in a utility room due to the large number of wires that must be run to the actual main panel.

A mimic panel means there is a graphic representation of the building and zones on the face of the main panel and indicator lights showing the status of the sensors within the graphic representation.

This link is a good example:

The upper panel of the fire system on the above link is a Mimic panel while the lower panel is the actual fire panel control. If you look closely, you can see the diagram is divided into different zones by color and there are small LED's within the zones to represent sensor status.

Mimic panels are useful for quick response to a fire since a quick glance at the panel informs the user the location of the fire. Without a mimic panel, an user would have to either memorize the location of each sensor by slot number or read a cross-reference chart to locate the actual fire in the event an alarm came in.

For industry, many systems have digital interfaces these days which can communicate with a wide variety of HMIs. Integrating the fire system with plant controls affords the opportunity to include fire alarm data into the pre-existing DCS system screens but reset and acknowledge controls are normally left at the main panels as a safety precaution (operators have a tendacy of acknowledging alarms without looking too closely sometimes).
