The Notifier AM-2020 is an Addressable fire alarm control panel designed by Notifier Fire Systems INC, a company under Pittway Corporation’s ownership when it was released in the early 1990s.
It uses Notifier's CLIP Addressable protocol for precise detection and supports networking through the NOTI-FIRE-NET system for large-scale integration.
AM-2020 Models
The AM-2020 is available in four cabinet sizes to fit different installation needs: the 1-bay CAB-A3 (one row), 2-bay CAB-B3 (two rows), 3-bay CAB-C3 (three rows), and 4-bay CAB-D3 (four rows).
These steel cabinets, painted Notifier gray or red, include key-locked doors and range in height from about 20 inches to over 50 inches.

Features of the Notifier AM-2020
The Notifier AM-2020 connects to the NOTI-FIRE-NET network, allowing it to link with all AFP series panels (like AFP-200) and NFS series panels (like NFS-640).
It supports up to 1,980 addressable points—detectors and control devices—offering coverage for big facilities.
The AM-2020 also includes the Notifier AMG-1 voice evacuation module, which delivers clear audio alerts during emergencies and works with this panel plus other Notifier systems like the AFP-400.
History of the AM-2020
The Notifier AM-2020 was introduced in the early 1990s by Notifier Fire Systems INC, a key player in fire safety under Pittway Corporation’s ownership
Pittway had acquired Notifier in 1987, and by the time the AM-2020 launched, the company was expanding its tech with addressable systems like the CLIP protocol.
This panel came out during a growth phase for Notifier, which earned ISO 9001 certification in 1993—the first in the fire alarm industry.
In 1999, Honeywell bought Pittway, shifting Notifier’s ownership, but the AM-2020’s active years were mostly under Pittway’s era.
It was designed for big buildings needing networked fire protection, reflecting the 1990s push for smarter, scalable safety systems.
