About the FFP to Excel Converter
The FFP to Excel Converter is a free online tool that turns an Ampac FireFinder PLUS .ffp configuration file into a single, cleaned Excel workbook. FireFinder PLUS configurations are created in Ampac's Configuration Manager PLUS software, which has no built-in way to export the panel programming in a human-friendly format. That makes device schedules, change management and third-party integration unnecessarily hard.
This converter reads the raw .ffp export and rebuilds it into tidy, readable tables — devices, zones, loops and nodes — 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 FireFinder PLUS configs into a clean, human-readable format.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .ffp file?
A .ffp file is the configuration export produced by Ampac's Configuration Manager PLUS software for the FireFinder PLUS fire alarm control panel. It stores the panel's programming — loops, devices, zones and nodes — but in a layout that is hard to read or share without a tool like this one.
How do I convert a FireFinder PLUS .ffp file to Excel?
Open this page, drag your .ffp 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 FFP 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 using JavaScript, so the .ffp 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 nodes. The device tab includes the loop, device address, zone, description, subtype, type, a ready-made device tag and a location reference, with placeholder and unassigned rows removed.
Which fire panels and software does this support?
It is built for the Ampac FireFinder PLUS fire alarm control panel and the .ffp configuration files exported by Ampac Configuration Manager PLUS.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The converter is a web app — it works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, and can be added to your home screen to use like a standalone app.
