Natron MCP-PR Wireless Addressable Fire Alarm Manual Call Point

ATTENTION: Read carefully this installation Instructions before installing the device!
This manual is subject to change without notice!

General Description and Working Principle

Natron MCP-PR/PB is a wireless addressable manual call point designed for operation with Natron series wireless expander modules*.

• 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 alert for fire alarm situation or start evacuation on the site, the user has to break the glass and to press the button – the status LED on the front panel starts blinking fast. To reset the call point back in stand-by mode you have to use the special key to open the front cover. Replace the broken glass with new one – see item 3 – Maintenance. The call point is resetting automatically with closing the front cover back in place – a click is heard. Then reset the fire alarm control panel.
  Attention. In case of fire alarm event and no connection between the device and the expander module are applied the following working algorithms for 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 activated, 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 status LED will proceed blinking fast until resetting the call point.

The label “Out of commission” can be used until the glass is replaced and the call point is put back into normal operation.

PCB Elements

The operating element is factory mounted to the control PCB. Attention: Do not dismount the two parts from each other.

1. Control PCB, under the operating  element

2. Bi-color operation LED (green/red).
   The LED is used for following the actions during enrollment, reset and checking the signal strength.

3. Enroll button. The button is used for the following actions:
   – Enrolling the device to the expander module.
   – Checking the signal strength.
   – Reset the device.

4. Power Battery
   Attention: Use only batteries from the same type!

Enrolling to Expander Module

1. Open the front cover to access the PCB with the battery compartment – use the key from the supplied equipment. If the device is not new, perform reset as described in item 7.

2. Enter in programming mode of Natron module. Select ADD DEVICE menu and press ENTER button.
   A list with already enrolled devices is shown on the screen with an order number and type of the device.

3. Scroll down to find a free address to enroll the call point. Every free address is labeled as EMPTY.

4. Press ENTER button. Message SEARCHING >>> (arrows are blinking) appears on the screen showing that the module is scanning for signals from wireless device in its covering range.
   Note: If there is no signal from the device in 2-minute period, the expander module will exit automatically the programming mode.

5. Power on the call point. If the device is new just remove the protective folio from the battery – the enrolling process starts automatically. If the device is powered and reset – single press the ENROLL button. The operation LED on the PCB starts blinking in red.

6. In case of successful enrolment, the operation LED flashes 3 times in green and message DONE appears for a while on the screen of the module. The call point is added to the list as MCP type.

7. Test the signal strength between the call point and the expander module. Single press the ENROLL button and wait for the LED indication:
   – 3 flashes in green – excellent signal strength;
   – 3 flashes in orange – good signal strength; but, if possible, change the place of installation;
   – 3 flashes in red – poor signal strength; it is obligatory to change the place of installation.
   You can also check the signal quality for the device in DEVICE RSSI menu of the module – item 8.

8. If the signal quality and strength are excellent or good, you can proceed with mounting.

9. Disable the operation of the call point from the module’s menu DEVICE SETUP (expander module Natron WE-C to conventional fire alarm panel); or addressable panel’s menus (expander module Natron WE-A to addressable fire alarm panel). Thus, you will avoid the false alarms during mounting.

10. Disassemble the call point and mount it to the installation place – see item 3.

Testing the Call Point

From the addressable/conventional panel menus start a zone test procedure for fire alarm. Open the front cover of the call point using the key. Press the button to initiate a fire alarm. The red LED starts blinking fast. Close the front door of the call point to reset it – a click is heard. Reset the fire panel to normal operation mode.
