The Fire-Lite MS-5UD five zone, and MS-10UD ten zone Fire Alarm Control

Panels bring the latest in technology to conventional fire controls.

The MS-5UD and MS-10UD are fully programmable via built-in keypad and

80 character LCD display, so you do not need an external programmer. Both

panels have a built-in Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) and

availability to add optional equipment: Remote annunciator, Relay module,

LED Driver module, Transmitter module and Printer interface module.

Both panels are compatible with the new i3 smoke detectors from System

Sensor, providing such advanced features as drift compensation, maintenance

alert, and freeze warning - features normally found in more expensive

addressable systems. The Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) protocol

includes the ability to silence audible devices while strobes continue to

flash, using only a single pair of wires, as well as automatic synchronization

for five manufacturer's synchronization protocols of audio/visual

devices. The panels are also compatible with conventional input devices

such as two- and four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow

When coupled with the Fire-Lite MS-5UD and MS-10UD Fire Alarm Control

Panels, i3 devices provide additional detection technology. i3 detectors

automatically adjust their sensitivity settings based on dust accumulation

in their chamber, resulting in an increased resistance to false alarms.

A special maintenance alert message on each zone will warn of excessive

dirt accumulation preventing false alarms - a quick way to test each detector

without need for a ladder. In addition, a special supervisory message

warns if a detector is approaching freezing temperatures. This is especially

useful when panels are placed in a warehouse facility where such low temperatures

may be found. A special wireless handheld sensitivity meter eliminates

the need for voltmeters, magnets and physical connections to the

detectors to determine sensitivity settings. The meter displays sensitivity

in terms of percent per foot obscuration and provides status of detector

The MS-5UD and MS-10UD panels provide state-of-the-art NAC synchronization

compliant strobes. To ease retrofit applications, strobe

synchronization is provided for System Sensor, Wheelock,

Amseco, Faraday and Gentex signaling protocols, and permits

use of existing devices. Both panels contain a Selective

Silence feature where horns can be manually silenced while

strobes continue to flash on the same NAC. This reduces

confusion when first responders arrive to survey the

Designed to reduce installation and maintenance labor time,

both panels feature a Silent or Audible Walk Test operation

mode that can be commanded from the front keypad. If no

activity takes place after one hour, the system automatically

returns to normal operation. To further reduce false alarm

potential, the systems feature the ability to select alarm

verification mode by each zone. This permits testing of zones

that may be more prone to alarm to insure the detectors

have not sensed a false indication of fire. When using the

MS-5UD, a special module is available that converts all five

indicating circuits and notification appliance circuits to be

used in a Class A wiring configuration, enhancing wire supervision

for opens or shorts. When low-cost conventional fire

detection equipment is required and budget is tight, you

can rest assured the advanced features found in the MS-5UD

or MS-10UD will meet and exceed requirements for the most

demanding applications. The MS-5UD and MS-10UD are

designed and built by Fire-Lite Alarms, well known throughout

the industry for high quality and exceptional design.
