Product Overview Specifications
The Intelligent Manual Stations from Siemens
Canada Limited
─ Fire Safety (Models HMS-SA and
HMS-2S), through their sophisticated control-panel
communication, provide the most advanced
method of address programming and supervision
currently available to the fire industry. Models
HMS-SA and HMS-2S are the essence of an
intelligent, initiating device through built-in
microcomputer-chip technology, as well as each
station’s sophisticated, bi-directional
communication capabilities with FireFinder XLS.
The pull switch and the second-stage key Switch
are fully identifiable, and only one (1) pair of wires
is required for Model HMS-2S.
Models HMS-SA and HMS-2S are constructed of
durable, molded polycarbonate material, which is
matte finished in red with raised white lettering.
The housing for each station accommodates a ‘pull-
down’ lever which
─ when operated ─ locks in
position, indicating the manual station has been
activated.
The pull-down lever remains down and locked until the
manual station is reset, via initially opening the hinged
housing cover with an Allen Key, followed by closing
and locking the cover.
Model HMS-2S is designed for two-stage applications:
The first-stage alarm is activated when the pull-down
lever is manually triggered; while the second-stage
alarm is activated when the key switch is turned to ‘On.’
The microcomputer-chip technology for the manual
station has the capacity of storing
─ in memory ─
identification information; as well as important
operating-status information. Models HMS-2S and
HMS-SA have a second set of contacts to release
equipment, such as magnetic door holders when the
station is pulled.
Siemens Canada Limited
─ Fire Safety’s innovative
technology also allows all Model Models HMS-2S and
HMS-SA Intelligent Manual Stations to be programmed
via the Model DPU Programmer / Tester.
