SIEMENS MSI-30B Fire Alarm Manual Station
When programming the SIEMENS MSI-30B with the FPI-32 Field Programmer, you must first determine the software revision of the Field Programmer. This is done by powering up the FPI-32 and reading the software revision shown on the display. The Test and Menu Modes are the same for FPI-32 Revision 1.2 and 1.3 software.
With revision 1.2 software, use the following procedure for programming Two Stage Manual Stations (MSI-30B) using the FPI-32 Field Programmer.
PROGRAM MODE
- Select 1 = MXL mode for programming the device addresses.
- NOTE: System XL3 does not support the use of the MSI-30B manual station. Therefore, the XL3 programming mode should never be used.
- Select the address required for the key switch (second address). The device automatically defaults the first address (pull station) to the selected address minus one.
Example: If the required address for the device is 10 and 11, select address 11 in the program mode and the FPI-32 will address the device to 10 and 11.
NOTE: Revision 1.2 software does not allow the programming of an MSI- 30B to address 59 and 60. Do not use this combination.
With revision 1.3 software, use the following procedure for programming Two Stage Manual Stations (MSI-30B) using the FPI-32 Field Programmer.
PROGRAM MODE
- Select 1 = MXL mode for programming the device addresses.
- NOTE: System XL3 does not support the use of the MSI-30B manual station. Therefore, the XL3 programming mode should never be used.
- Select the address required for the pull station (first address). The device automatically defaults the second address (key switch) to the selected address plus one.
- Example: If the required address for the device is 10 and 11, select address 10 in the program mode and the FPI-32 will address the device to 10 and 11.
TEST MODE
Test mode does not thoroughly test the device. This mode only tests the first address of the unit. For more complete testing, use the menu mode.
MENU MODE
Test
This test mode only checks that the device is responding. For complete testing, move on to the analog portion of menu mode.
Analog
When selecting READ ANALOG RESPONSES in the menu mode, you can read the actual voltages being sent by the device. The programmer allows you to toggle between the two addresses by pressing the NO key. After selecting an address, press the YES key to display the voltages. The voltage windows for the MSI-30B are:
- CAL: 3.75 – 4.25
- ID: 7.12 – 8.00
- ID-2: 5.12 – 6.00
- A2 (STBY): 0.63 – 5.88
- A2 (ALARM): 6.00 – 8.00
