NOTIFIER MPS Series Pull Stations Instruction

N-MPS and NFW-MPS Addressable Series Manual Stations

Intelligent / Addressable Initiating Devices

General

The Notifier MPS Addressable Series manual stations provide reporting for the NFS-320C, NFS2-640, and NFS2-3030 fire alarm control panels; NFW-MPS series manual stations provide reporting for FireWarden series panels. These high quality, die cast metal manual stations include screw terminal connections, and integrated break-glass rod. The alarm contact for the man-ual station is rated for 1A, 24VDC. The contacts are gold plated to avoid the risk of corrosion. The MPS Series manual stations are available as single or two-stage for addressable systems. Models N-MPS-SA/SAC are sin-gle-stage manual stations. Models N-MPS-2AC/2A (two-stage models) are similar to the N-MPS-SC (single-stage models) except they contain an additional 2nd Stage normally open key-switch. A 2nd stage key is supplied with each unit to activate the 2nd Stage key-switch. All models are available with screw terminal connectors and a hex key for reset. Two-stage models also include a key-switch and 2 keys. All addressable models require an additional trim plate (sold separately) to mount on a 4” electrical box (RMS-TP3) or a 2 gang electrical box (RMS-TP1) with a minimum depth of 5.5cm (2.125”). All addressable models can mount to a single gang electrical box for retrofit situations when used with an extension ring (MPS-ER, sold separately). For surface mounting, use Notifier surface back-box with all addressable manual stations.

Operation

The Notifier MPS Series manual stations are operated by pulling the handle on the front of the station. To reset the manual sta-tion, open the manual station with the hex key (provided) and place the handle in the normal upright position. Replace the break-glass rod, and close the manual station front cover.
The N-MPS two-stage models include a key switch which is located above the handle. Operation of the key-switch, when connected to a separate alarm initiating circuit, will activate the second stage of a two-stage alarm signaling system.
To reset the second stage activation, return the key-switch to the original position before resetting the fire alarm control panel.
Models provided with an ancillary contact for mag-lock release, will simultaneously release the locally connected mag-lock upon pulling the handle on the front of the manual station.

Architectural/Engineering Specifications
The manual station is the Notifier N-MPS series. Operating instructions appear in English and French lettering. The unit is constructed of high quality die cast metal and finished in red enamel paint to be easily identified. When the handle is pulled, the manual station initiates an immediate operation of the alarm detection circuit. In addition, those manual stations installed in a two-stage system are equipped with a key-switch designed to operate the second stage alarm initiating circuit. Manual stations shall have the option of an ancillary contact for local mag-lock release. Manual stations are listed with Underwriters Laborato-ries Canada (ULC). Manual stations are required to be installed to the current Canadian Electrical Code and the current CAN/ULC – S524 (Standard for the installation of Fire Alarm Sys-tems) and comply with CAN/ULC-S528, (Manual Stations for Fire Alarm Systems, Including Accessories). Manual stations must be installed within the limits defined by the national/local requirements. Final acceptance is subject to the local authority having jurisdiction. Manual stations are provided with a hex key–operated reset lock to reset the device after the manual station has been operated and to allow access for testing. The stations are designed so that after an actual emergency operation the stations cannot be restored to normal operation without the use of the supplied hex key. The manual stations are provided with an integrated break-glass feature. The addition of the dual action adapter cover (MPS-LP) requires the operator to first lift the cover and then pull the handle of the manual station. All addressable models require an additional trim plate to mount on a 4” electrical box or a two-gang electrical box, both with a minimum depth of 5.5cm (2.125”). Addressable models can mount to a single-gang electrical box for retrofit situations when used with an extension ring (MPS-ER). For surface mounting, use Notifier surface back-box MPS-DBB with all addressable manual stations. Addressable models will have screw terminal connectors for connection to the fire control panel data communications link (DCL). The address of the manual station is selected through the use of two rotary decimal switches.
