MS-2 FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL

The Fire Lite MS-2 Fire Alarm Control Panel brings the latest in microprocessor technology to conventional fire controls.  The  MS-2 is compatible with the new I3 smoke detectors from System Sensor, and provides such advanced features as drift compensation, maintenance alert, and freeze warning.  Automatic synchronization of audio/visual devices is provided, using three selections for manufacturer protocol.  The NAC protocol includes the ability to silence audible devices while strobes continue to flash, using only a single pair of wires.

The MS-2 also is compatible with conventional input devices such as two- and four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact devices.  See the Fire Lite Device Compatibility Document (Doc. No. 15384) for a complete list of compatible devices.

Description

Features
  • Two Style B (Class B) IDCs (Initiating Device Circuits)
  • One Style Y (Class B) NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit)
  • 24VDC
  • I3 Technology Features:
    • Drift compensation automatically adjusts detector sensitivity and increases resistance to false alarms caused by dust accumulation.
    • Maintenance Alert LEDs (per zone) warn of excessive dirt accumulation, preventing false alarms (meets NFPA 72, 7-3.2.1).
    • Detector sensitivity is automatically measured by the detector, which automatically adjusts its sensitivity back to the factory settings when it becomes more sensitive due to contaminants settling in the chamber.
    • Wireless handheld sensitivity meter eliminates the need for voltemeters, magnets and a physical connection to the detector.  The reader displays sensitivity in terms of percent per foot obscuration and provides text status indication.
    • Supervisory LED (per zone) provides warning if a detector senses temperature approaching freezing.
    • Special test protocol and LED indication allows quick test of all detectors without need for a ladder
  • NAC synchronization features:
    • Selective Silence feature allows manual silence of horns while strobes continue to flash on the same NAC.
  • Silent or Audible Walk Test operation mode commanded from the front keypad, with automatic return to normal after 1 hour of inactivity.
  • Alarm verification selectable per zone.
  • Each zone may be programmed for supervisory or fire with separate red and yellow LEDs.
  • Disable switches provided per zone.
  • NACs programmable for:
    • Silence Inhibit
    • Auto Silence
    • Strobe Synchronization

    • Charger Fault (on circuit board)
  • Piezo sounder for alarm, trouble, supervisory and maintenance.
  • Optional plug-in 4XTMF Transmitter module.
  • Optional plug-in 4XZMF Zone relay module.
  • Optional 4XLMF Transmitter module tor RZA-4XF remote LED annunciator.
OPERATION

Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device activates audible and visual signaling devices, illuminates an indicating LED, sounds the piezo sounder at the FACP, activates the FACP alarm relay and operates an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.
