Each module is further distinguished by its respective two letter abbreviation (such as TM for Transmitter Module).

When received, the actual module boards will be marked as "MS4000 - 40xx" followed by a one letter abbreviation and the letter "B" (

For instance: To order a 24-volt General Alarm and Trouble Module, order a "4024AT".

The module received will be marked "MS4000 - 40xxAB."

1.0 Fire Alarm Control System

The MS-4012/4024 and CMS-4012/4024 are 4-zone fire alarm control panels designed for use in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. The 4012 is designed for 12-volt (nominal) devices. The 4024 is designed for 24-volt (nominal) devices. Activation of any compatible two wire detector or any normally open initiating device will sound audible devices, annunciate a fire zone, trip a municipal box, notify a remote station and activate supplementary relay(s).

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Walk test feature with indicator

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Disable switches per initiating zone

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Resettable regulated power for 4-wire smoke detectors

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Current limited float type charger for sealed batteries

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Battery supervision

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Ground fault indicator

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Extensive transient protection

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Single Form-C general alarm contact

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Supervision of option boards

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Conversion of Zone 4 to a N.O. sprinkler supervisory

✓✓ ✓✓

✓ Waterflow Alarm Service, including two zone waterflow plates (4000 WF) that

✓✓

mechanically lock the disable switch on waterflow zones.

1.2 Optional features include:

2.0 Controls and Indicators

2.1 Control Switches

Trouble Silence switch will si-

lence an audible trouble device. The system trouble LED and the trouble contact will remain activated until the trouble has been corrected. If trouble silence switch is still engaged when trouble is cleared, audible device will resound.

System Test switch while held down will energize an audible trouble device and will light all indicators except the zone alarm LEDs. Upon release of the switch, all zones will go into alarm mode and the supplementary relay(s) will

Note: The Supervisory LED may not light during System Test, depending on whether or not Zone 4 is

programmed for supervisory service. To test the Supervisory LED, remove the jumper across Terminals 9 and 10, creating a supervisory condition. If the LED lights, it is good.

Walk Test switch allows one person to test all initiating an indicating devices. The function of this switch is to automatically reset the panel. After receiving an alarm signal, the panel will sound all signaling devices for two seconds and then will reset the panel. The procedure repeats every two to three seconds until the alarm condition is cleared.

Disable switch (per initiating zone) prevents the sounding of alarm indicating devices in response to an alarm condition on that zone. Zone and system trouble LEDs light and the audible trouble device sounds when a respective zone is disabled. Zone alarm LED continues to indicate any alarm condition on disabled zone.

Note: The alarm and trouble contacts on the optional zone relay

module (40xxZR) are NOT disabled by the zone disable switch.

2.2 Status Indicators

A.C. Power - A green LED that remains on while the A.C. power supply is operating. If this indicator fails to light

under normal conditions, service the system immediately.

System Alarm - A red LED that lights when an alarm condition is detected. Supervisory - A yellow LED that indicates need for action in connection with the supervision or maintenance

of sprinklers, extinguishing systems or other protective systems. System Trouble - This yellow LED indicates that a fault or abnormal condition exists and that the fire alarm

system may be inoperative. Ind. Circuit Trouble - A yellow LED that lights in response to a fault in the main bell circuits, including an open

or a short in the field wiring, or connection of a non-polarized indicating appliance.

Battery Trouble - A yellow LED that annunciates fault in the battery circuit. Ground Fault - A yellow LED that lights when either side of the power source is shorted to the chassis. Walk Test - A yellow LED that lights when the Walk Test feature is activated. Zone Alarm - A red LED that lights when its associated zone is in alarm. The zone disable does not affect this

annunciator. Zone Trouble - A yellow LED that lights when its associated zone has a fault or abnormal operating condition.

This trouble circuit monitors an initiating loop, local and remote zone alarm indicators, and the position of the zone disable switch .

3.1 General

Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area in which extreme temperatures are not encountered. The location should be readily accessible with sufficient room for easy installation and maintenance. Locate the top of the cabinet approximately five feet above the floor with the hinge mounting on the left. Determine the number of conductors required for the devices to be employed. Pull required conductors into the box through the knockout provided. All wiring should be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm systems.

3.0 Installation Instructions

3.2 Initiating Circuits

Zones - Wire all alarm initiating devices sequentially for

proper supervision. Initiating devices include: coded and noncoded pull stations; heat, photoelectric, and ionization type detectors; and waterflow alarm devices.

NOTE: To employ coded manual pull stations, inhibit the latching circuit for a particular zone by removing the associated diode in the zone circuit on the main board (see Figure 3L).

Observe polarity when connecting polarized devices. Connect first device to the panel, second device to the first device, third to the second and so on. Remove the End-of-Line resistor (ELR) from the terminals and install on the terminals of the last device. Wire the zones to the panel as shown in Figures 3A and 3B.

Supervisory Circuit (Normally Open) - Zone 4 can be programmed to function as a normally open supervisory zone. A short across the loop will light the zone alarm and supervisory LEDs, and will activate an audible trouble device that can not be silenced and will sound until the panel is returned to normal. An open in the wiring will light zone and system trouble LEDs, and the audible trouble device will sound. In this mode, the audible device can be silenced. Remove jumper plugs JP5, JP6 and install JP7 and JP8. Connect normally open contacts to Zone 4 terminals with an ELR across the last device.
