Introduction

The FARADAY 8700-M intelligent manual fire alarm

boxes provide the markets’ most advanced method

of address programming and supervision, com-

bined with sophisticated control panel communica-

tion. Each 8700-M manual fire alarm box incorpo-

rates a custom microcomputer chip. The microcom-

puter chip technology, and its sophisticated bi-

directional communication capabilities with the

control panel, achieves the state of an “Intelligent

Initiating Device.”

Description

The 8700-M has all metal material construction

which is matte finished in red with raised white

lettering. The housing accommodates a “pull-

down” lever which, when operated, locks in posi-

tion indicating the manual fire alarm box has been

activated. The pull down lever remains down and

locked until the manual fire alarm box is reset. The

manual fire alarm box is reset only by opening the

hinged housing cover with an allen key and then

X1 Series Intelligent Metal Manual Fire Alarm Boxes

closing and locking the cover. The 8700-M is

shipped with one reset key and one breakglass

rod (use of rod is optional).

The 8700-M manual fire alarm box operates with

the MPC 6000 or 7000 control panel.

The manual fire alarm box’s microcomputer chip

has the capacity of storing, in memory, identifica-

tion information as well as important operating

status information.

FARADAYs’ innovative technology also allows all

8700-M Series Intelligent manual fire alarm boxes

to be programmed by using the 8720 Programmer/

Tester. The 8720 Programmer/Tester is a compact,

portable, menu driven accessory which makes

programming and testing a manual fire alarm box

device faster, easier and more dependable than

previous methods. The 8720 eliminates the need

for the device’s mechanical addressing mecha-

nisms, such as program jumpers, dipswitches or

rotary dials because the 8720 electronically sets the manual fire alarm box’s address into its microcomputer chip, nonvolatile memory. Vibration, corrosion and other conditions which deteriorate mechanical addressing mechanisms are no longer a cause for concern. Mounting Data The X1 Series is fitted with screw terminals for connection to an addressable circuit.They can be either surface or semiflush mounted.
