Apollo America MSR-50R Installation Manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The MSR Series remote accessories offer the most comprehensive set of features,
functionality and ease of installation ever available in a duct smoke detector remote
accessory. They are compatible with the range of duct smoke detectors as described
herein. All MSR-Series remote accessories are compatible with standard Decora style
cover plates (base color choice plate included).

The MSR-50 Series

The 50-Series offer a magnet operated test function (MSR-50RM Products) or a
key-operated test and reset function (MSR-50RK Products). Both are available with
only a single gang remote indicator/control or with the addition of a single gang strobe
assembly / strobe and sounder assembly. (MSR-A and MSR-AV Products).

MSR-50RM

The MSR-50RM provides a hidden magnet test switch and a pushbutton reset.
The indicator/control assembly provides:

• Tri-color visual indication of detector Pilot, Trouble and Alarm conditions

• Magnet operated detector Test function

• Pushbutton operated detector Reset function

• Lever-operated quick connect “No-Tools” four-position terminal block

• Port for plugging in Audio/Visual assembly

To put the detector in alarm, place a magnet over the
RESET button on the faceplate of the accessory. The
detector will stay in Alarm until the RESET pushbutton
is pressed. Also the RESET button can be used to
reset a detector-initiated alarm.

MSR-50RK

The MSR-50RK indicator/control assembly provides:

• Tri-color visual indication of detector Pilot, Trouble and Alarm conditions

• Key-operated detector Test and Reset function

• Lever-operated quick connect “No-Tools” four-position terminal block

• Port for plugging in Audio/Visual assembly

MSR- Series Audible and Visible Alarm Indicators

The MSR-AV, MSR-A and MSR-V are designed to provide and/or augment the Audible and Visual Alarm indications of the MSR-50RM, MSR-50RK and
MSR-100R Remote Accessories.They will fit in a second-gang configuration and require no additional wiring, other than to plug into the main control.

MSR-AV – Remote Alarm Module Combination Sounder (Audible) and Strobe (Visual)
MSR-A – Remote Alarm Sounder Module (Audible)
MSR-V – Remote Alarm Sub-Assembly Strobe (Visual) for use with MSR-50A Remote Alarm Sounder Module

Note: The MSR-AV, MSR-A and MSR-V are intended for Private Mode Audible and Visual notification only. They are not intended for Public Mode Audible

and Visual evacuation and relocation signaling.
Note: An MSR-V combined with an MSR-A will provide the same functionality as an MSR-AV. All “V” code units come with Strobe Lens decals for
optional use. “SMOKE” in blue lettering and “FIRE” in red lettering, 2 each in both vertical and horizontal orientations. All units require one gang of
space in a standard deep gang box – not supplied.

Installation

To install an MSR-A or MSR-AV Module to a Controller (MSR-50RM, MSR-50RK or MSR-100R), simply plug the provided polarized connector into the
Controller’s pins which are indicated as “STROBE” on the back of those units.

To install an MSR-V Sub-Assembly to an MSR-A Module simply position the three link pins on the MSR-V Sub-Assembly over the three provided plug holes
in the MSR-A Module’s front cover and push firmly until the pins are seated and the four snap-in legs on the MSR-V Sub-Assembly completely snap-in and
latch to the mating surfaces provided on the MSR-A Module. It should be noted that when connecting the MSR-AV or MSR-A to an MSR-100R, a louder
yet redundant Audible Alarm signal will be obtained compared to the built-in Alarm / Trouble buzzer in the MSR-100R.

MSR-AV and MSR-A Module Audible Sounder Output Configurations

The sound output level is selectable at either 83 db (low) or 87 db (high). The unit is shipped
pre-set to the higher level. To change the selection to the lower tone simply remove the
pre-installed jumper plug where shown (at right).
