General Description and Working Principle

Natron MCP is a wireless addressable manual call point designed for operation with Natron series wireless expander modules. In standby mode, the resettable (frangible) call point element is in a middle position and the status LED is off. Refer to the installation manuals of Natron WE-C, Natron WE-A, and Natron WE-A/C wireless expander modules for detailed information about the programming menus and other details. To initiate a fire alarm or evacuation event, press on the resettable element – it moves down and a color strip is shown on its upper side. The call point is in “Fire alarm” condition and the status LED starts blinking fast. To reset the flexible element back in standby mode, use the special key tool included in the kit – fix the long side of the tool at the call point’s bottom side and push it up until the flexible element moves up in the middle position – a click is heard. Then reset the fire alarm control panel.

Attention
In case of a fire alarm event and no connection between the device and the expander module is applied the following working algorithms for the conservation of the call point power battery:

• The connection between the device and the expander module is lost and after that, the call point is activated. In this case, the status LED flashes 3 times and stops.
• The call point is activatAed, the status LED is blinking fast and after that, the connection between the device and the expander module is lost.
• In this case, the status LED will proceed blinking fast for 5 minutes and after that will stop if the connection with the expander module is not restored during that period.

When the connection between the expander module and the device is restored and the call point is still activated (the color strip is visible), the status LED will proceed blinking fast until resetting the call point.
