About the PCI to Excel Converter
The PCI to Excel Converter is a free online tool that turns a Notifier AFP-2800 .pci configuration file into a single, cleaned Excel workbook. AFP-2800 configurations are saved and uploaded with the panel's PC configuration tool, which has no built-in way to export the programming in a human-friendly format. That makes device schedules, change management and third-party integration unnecessarily hard.
This converter reads the raw .pci export and rebuilds it into tidy, readable tables — devices, zones, loops and panel details — so you can produce a device schedule, review a configuration, or hand a clean spreadsheet to another trade in seconds. We give you this free tool to convert your AFP-2800 configs into a clean, human-readable format.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .pci file?
A .pci file is the configuration export produced by the Notifier AFP-2800 PC configuration tool. It stores the panel's programming — FlashScan loops, detectors, modules, zones and cause-and-effect — in a raw format that is hard to read or share without a tool like this one.
How do I convert an AFP-2800 .pci file to Excel?
Open this page, drag your .pci file onto the converter (or browse to select it), let it verify the file, then download the Excel workbook. The whole process takes a few seconds and happens in your browser — you do not need to install anything.
Is the PCI to Excel converter free?
Yes. The converter is completely free to use, with no sign-up, account or payment required.
Is it safe to convert my panel configuration file here?
Your file never leaves your device. The converter runs entirely in your web browser, so the .pci file is read locally and is not uploaded to Essential Fire Services or any third party. Reloading or closing the tab clears everything.
What data does the Excel workbook contain?
One cleaned Excel workbook with separate tabs for devices, zones, loops and panel details. The device tab lists every point — FlashScan loop detectors and modules, ring module points and panel I/O — with its loop, address, zone, description, kind and a ready-made device tag, with unused points removed.
Which fire panels does this support?
It is built for the Notifier AFP-2800 fire alarm control panel and the .pci configuration files saved or uploaded by its PC configuration tool.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The converter is a web app — it works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
