Product Overview

The intelligent manual fire-alarm boxes (Model HMS-M) provide the most advanced

method of address programming, supervision and sophisticated fire-alarm-control-

panel (FACP) communication currently offered in the Fire and Life Safety market.

Each HMS-series manual fire-alarm box incorporates a custom microcomputer chip in

order to be compatible with SureWire™ technology from the FACP. This

microcomputer-chip technology, along with its sophisticated bi-directional

communication capabilities with the FACP, helps in achieving the state of an

‘Intelligent Initiating Device’ for Model HMS-M.

Specifications

Model HMS-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 into position, 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 can only reset via the unlocking / opening of the

hinged housing cover with an Allen key (and then closing / locking the fire-alarm box

with the Allen key.) Model HMS-M is shipped with one (1) reset key and one (1)

breakglass rod (use of rod is optional).

Model HMS-M operates with various Siemens − Fire

Safety FACPs. The microcomputer chip contained in

Model HMS-M has the capacity of storing − in

memory − identification information; as well as

important operating-status data.

All Model HMS-series intelligent manual fire alarm

boxes are programmed via the Programmer /Test Unit

(Model DPU). Model DPU eliminates the need for

mechanical-addressing mechanisms, such as:

program jumpers, DIP switches or rotary dials, since

Model DPU sets the interface address of Model HMS-

M into its microcomputer-chip, non-volatile memory

electronically.

Mounting Diagram Specifications (continued) Further, other conditions (such as vibration and corrosion), which can deteriorate mechanical-addressing mechanisms, are no longer a cause for concern. Model HMS-M is fitted with screw terminals for connection to an addressable circuit. They can either be surface or semiflush mounted. Each Model HMS-series manual fire alarm box communicates information, receives commands and obtains its power over a single pair of wires.
