ADVANCED PROTOCOL INTELLIGENT MANUAL STATIONS MS-400AP SERIES
Description
Mircom’s MS-400AP Series are single action alarm
manual stations that include a permanently attached
intelligent module. The intelligent manual station has
a pair of rotary decimal switches which allows for
two digit address setting. Pulling the handle initiates
the operation of the intelligent module. Resetting is
accomplished by inserting a 1/8” screwdriver from
the front. The handle, once pulled will remain open
and cannot be reset without utilizing the screwdriver.
The MS-400AP Manual stations are constructed of
durable aluminium and nished in red. An abrasion
resistant label with large, raised letters provides
clear legible instructions. The model MS-402AP
(two stage) is similar to the MS- 401AP (single stage)
except it contains an additional General Alarm (G.A.)
N.O. switch. For safety reasons, the G.A. switch is
only accessible after the handle has been pulled.
A special key is supplied with each unit. All manual
stations can be easily converted from single action
to double action station by the addition of the MS-DA
double action lever.
Mircom’s Advanced Protocol (AP) devices use a
high speed communication protocol that greatly
increases the speed of communication between the
intelligent devices. Mircom’s Advanced Protocol uses
a superior group polling method as well as an interrupt
feature that provide for a faster response to an alarm
condition. In addition, the Advanced Protocol allows
for greater system capacity with support for up to
318 devices per SLC circuit. The AP devices are
backwards compatible to operate in CLIP mode for
legacy system applications.
Mircom reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice in prices, colours, materials, components, equipment, specications and models and also to discontinue models.
Operation
Pulling on the station’s handle will release the internal
switch to trigger the intelligent addressable module.
The MS-402AP (two stage version) also provides a
key switch which is accessible after the handle has
been pulled. Operation of the key switch will initiate
the 2
nd
stage of a two stage alarm signalling system.
