About the Morley Horizon

The Horizon is positioned as a step up from conventional panels for sites that need addressable capability without the complexity of the larger ZX or DX platforms. Key features:

  • Compact 1 to 2 loop addressable platform
  • Up to 200 addressable devices
  • Apollo XP95 and Discovery protocol support
  • Simplified user menu structure for non-engineer operators
  • EN 54-2 and EN 54-4 certified
  • Direct front-panel programming for small installations

Where Horizon fits in the Morley range

The Horizon sits between the legacy conventional Morley panels and the more powerful ZX/DX addressable platforms. It is well suited to small-to-medium retail, hospitality, education and care home installations where a full ZX-class system would be over-specified.

Morley Horizon training

The Horizon configuration manual is well-written but works best alongside hands-on practice. BH Courses run Morley fire panel training that includes Horizon configuration alongside the larger ZX and DX platforms. For broader fire alarm competence across Morley plus other manufacturers, see the Fire Alarm Training Course or the complete fire alarm courses guide.

For larger Morley installations, see the ZX series manuals or the DX (Dimension) manuals.

  • Reading the event log for incident review
  • Access levels and key switch security
