MR-2900 Operator’s Manual 1.0 Unit Operation The operation of the MR1 and MR2 programs are almost identical. This chapter applies to both programs. Those functions that are different are noted. 1.1 Power Up Sequence The power up sequence of the panel is started in the following ways: power is applied to the panel; the hard reboot button at the top of the Inner Door is pressed; a Network Reboot command is issued; or the panel has a fault that triggers the internal watch-dog.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual • Non-Reporting: These are non-latching inputs. They are also referred to as Non-Fire. There is no requirement that these inputs cause any action whatsoever. They use the supervisory LED for annunciation. They can operate only relays and control modules. The LEDs, relays and control modules will follow the non-reporting input's status. The LEDs, relays and control modules operated by non-reporting inputs cannot also be operated by Fire, Supervisory, Abort or Halt type inputs. 1.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual • • Medium: This indicates any new supervisory conditions. The pattern is 200ms on/off. Slow: This indicates any new trouble conditions. The pattern in 500ms on/off. 1.6 Operator Keys These are located below the Status Display. They are not visible through the front door. There are Figure 1: Default Key Assignments Figure 2: Fixed Key Assignments 12 keys, each with a yellow and green LED (some keys may have red instead of yellow LEDs).
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Key Action System Reset System Reset resets part or all of the system. • The green LED flashes when the system, or part of the system, can be reset. • The yellow LED flashes when there are conventional smoke detector circuits in alarm. Press System Reset to reset the smoke detectors. The yellow LED also flashes if the ground fault relay is activated. Press System Reset to deactivate the ground fault relay to check for restores and additional ground faults.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Key Action Test Mode Places panel into test mode. Press again to return to normal mode. The yellow LED will flash while in test mode. This function can be set to Privilege Level 0 or 1. It follows the Disconnect privilege level (set in MHI). During test mode, the remote annunciator zone LEDs becomes non-latching for the zone(s) under test.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Key Action Switch n Off Change the state of the software switch n between Auto and Off. The yellow LED will flash while the switch is forced Off. The green LED will flash whenever the switch is off, either automatically or forced. Switches can affect relays, control modules and LEDs. This function can be set to Privilege Level 1 or 2. Manual Restart This will cause the programmed control modules to reset after the system has been reset in general.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual The event screen of an entry shows one of two forms: 1) Line 1: time, sequence number, and Condition Code Line 2: date and Zone Number Line 4: description of event (alarm, trouble, ground, restore, etc.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual programmed device on that circuit will be displayed. If is pressed without any entry, the first addressable device will be displayed. will remove any values entered. If there is no value entered, will return to the Status Menu. If the selected device is not in the database, the next device in the database is shown. The display shows the device address in the top left corner and the current condition codes in the top right corner (see section 2.

When viewing the events, scroll to the next one using the or the previous one with the . will act as the last or arrow key pressed. and will flip between pages of the event.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual 1.9 Silent Walk Test The Silent Walk Test allows for single person testing of the system. This is done by providing an audio output that can be used by a radio with a microphone input. The system will produce tones through the audio output jack to give the inspector a positive indication of system behaviour. The audio jack should be connected to the Mic In or Line In of a radio. Ensure that the radio is set to automatically broadcast whenever a signal is sent to it.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual 2.0 Supplementary Information 2.1 Diagnostic LEDs There are 6 LEDs in the middle of the right edge of the Inner Door Assembly for diagnostic purposes. They are used as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. extended memory in use addressable database in use follows coded bells not used not used database transfer to co-processor. 2.2 Condition Codes and Zone Numbers The Alarm List and Archive use the following formats for condition codes and zone numbering.

MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Smoke Detector and Contact Device Circuit: 000 - Wiring Fault 001 - Smoke Detector 002 - Contact Device Comlink 1 (Zone 51): Unit Network ID number Comlink 3 (Zone 53): Unit ID number Note: Only MR-2614, MR-2644, MR2801-MR and MR-2806-MR use IDs other than 000.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Message 14 Description EEPROM failure The memory chip containing the configuration information is not working correctly. It will need to be erased. This requires a Level 9 passcode. Erasing the EEPROM will lose ALL information in the EEPROM. This includes the configuration information, the panel serial number and the archive. Be sure to record this information before you erase the EEPROM. Contact a service representative for help and a Level 9 passcode.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Message BBBBBBBBAA 1234567812 .......... Description List the status of the 8 bell circuits and the 2 auxiliary power circuits. Each column represents one circuit. A dot (.) indicates a normal condition, an S indicates a short, an O indicates an open and a G indicates a ground. Auxiliary power circuits are not supervised for opens. A bell that has been installed with the polarity the wrong way may appear as a short on the bell circuit.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Message 16 Description negative counters This is indicative of a network communications fault. Network Reboot Required will automatically be generated by the unit. time not set The time has not been set since the panel has been Rebooted. The time displayed on the clock may be wrong. Enter the correct time. conventional circuit bypassed One or more conventional circuits have been bypassed.
MR-2900 Operator’s Manual Message Description coprocessor class changed One or more of the addressable input circuit modules have been changed from either Class A or B to the other. Reboot the panel to clear this trouble. not enough ram The operating program requires more extend RAM then the panel actually has. Certain addressable functions and/or the alarm list may not work. Basic fire detection will continue to operate. Upgrade the RAM in the panel to clear this trouble.
