Product Description

The MS-2 is a two zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and the MS-4 is a four zone FACP. The information in this manual refers to both the MS-2 and MS-4 unless otherwise specified. These control panels provide reliable fire signaling protection for small to medium sized commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. The FACP is compatible with System Sensor’s I3 detectors which are microprocessor-based conventional smoke detectors that can transmit a maintenance trouble signal to the FACP indicating the need for cleaning and a supervisory ‘freeze’ signal when the ambient temperature falls below the detector rating (refer to System Sensor’s I3 Installation and Maintenance Instructions document I56-1800-00 for device specifications). In addition, the control panel is compatible with conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact devices. Refer to Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document for a complete listing of compatible devices.

Outputs include one NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) on the MS-2 and two NACs on the MS-4. Each FACP has a Form-C Alarm and Trouble relay and 24 VDC special application resettable power. In addition, the MS-4 has a Form-C Supervisory relay and a nonresettable special application power output. The FACP supervises wiring, AC voltage and battery level.

Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device will activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an indicating LED, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm relay and operate an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate a auxiliary control function. The MS-2E and MS-4E offer the same features as the MS-2 and MS-4 but allows connection to 220/240 VAC.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the terms MS-2 and MS-4 are used in this manual to refer to the MS-2 and MS-2E as well as the MS-4 and MS-4E FACPs respectively.
