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.

Operation
