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.
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 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.
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, Model DPU.
Model DPU is a compact, portable and menu-
driven accessory that makes programming and
testing a manual station device more efficient,
reliable and quicker than previous methods.
Vibration, corrosion and other conditions, which can
deteriorate mechanical-addressing mechanisms, are
no longer a cause for concern because Model HMS-
2S is fitted with screw terminals for connection to
an addressable circuit. Model HMS-2S can either be
surface or semi-flush mounted.
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.
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.
