Mircom MS-400AP Series Advanced Protocol Intelligent Manual
Description
Mircom’s MS-400AP Series are single action alarm manual stations that include
a permanently attached intelligent module. The intelligent manual station has
a pair of rotary decimal switches which allows for two digit address setting.
Pulling the handle initiates the operation of the intelligent module.
Resetting is accomplished by inserting a 1/8” screwdriver from the front. The
handle, once pulled will remain open and cannot be reset without utilizing the
screwdriver.
The MS-400AP Manual stations are constructed of durable aluminium and finished
in red. An abrasion resistant label with large, raised letters provides clear
legible instructions. The model MS-402AP (two stage) is similar to the MS-
401AP (single stage) except it contains an additional General Alarm (G.A.)
N.O. switch. For safety reasons, the G.A. switch is only accessible after the
handle has been pulled. A special key is supplied with each unit. All manual
stations can be easily converted from single action to double action station
by the addition of the MS-DA double action lever.
Mircom’s Advanced Protocol (AP) devices use a high speed communication
protocol that greatly increases the speed of communication between the
intelligent devices. Mircom’s Advanced Protocol uses a superior group polling
method as well as an interrupt feature that provide for a faster response to
an alarm condition. In addition, the Advanced Protocol allows for greater
system capacity with support for up to 318 devices per SLC circuit. The AP
devices are backwards compatible to operate in CLIP mode for legacy system
applications.
