Fire Alarm System Limitations

While a fire alarm system may lower insurance
rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warn­ing devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification
capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against
property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detec­tors be located throughout a protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72),
manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and
the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use
of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no
charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emer­gency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in
as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are de­signed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guar­antee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system
may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a build­ing. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a
first-floor or basement fire.

Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors be­cause:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before
reaching the detector.

The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing
chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ion­izing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in differ­ent ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither
type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detec­tor may not provide adequate warning of a fire.

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and
alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a prede­termined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time.
For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire pro­tection specialist.

Heat detectors are designed to protect

property, not life.

IMPORTANT!

Smoke detectors must be installed in the

same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the sys­tem for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communi­cations, signaling, and/or power.

cated, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crip­pling its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people
if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medica­tion. Please note that:

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibil­ity to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make
people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the
proper reaction to alarm signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries
have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically com­patible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily disabled. For added protection against tele­phone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are rec­ommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inade­quate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA stan­dards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA
72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of
dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent mainte­nance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged
through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance
should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/
or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized pro­fessional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records
of all inspections should be kept.

If detectors are not so lo-

cal Services Department if any problems are anticipated or
encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or in­serting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifi­cations, verify that they will not interfere with battery, trans­former, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced
terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal
removal.

Though designed to last many years, system components
can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive
components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap
before handling any circuits so that static charges are re­moved from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging
to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.

Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and
programming manuals. These instructions must be followed
to avoid damage to the control panel and associated
equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon
proper installation by authorized personnel.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive
RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas
(but not all), the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may
be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maxi­mum REN for the calling area.

2.3 Operation

Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation. In this mode, the panel continuously monitors system status. When
no alarm or fault conditions exist, the display will be blank and all LEDs will be off (except the AC Power LED).
The Notification Appliance Circuit will be off, all relay drivers are deactivated and the on-board piezo sounder will
be off. The communicator is not active, and the Primary and Secondary Active LEDs are off.

All alarm conditions and fault conditions are annunciated on the control panel's display. The control panel will main­tain an 'active event list' as illustrated in “Displays” on page 17. The list will consist of all alarms, supervisory alarms
and faults currently active and not cleared, requiring immediate service. When the system is cleared and restored to
normal, the display will be blank. All alarms and faults are stored in a history file and may be recalled at any time.
Refer to “History Mode” on page 48.

18

Document #15465 Rev.F1 12/04/02 P/N 15465:F1

Operation

Higher priority events take precedence over lower priority events. Display of System Activity is accomplished on a
priority basis. Priorities are, from highest to lowest:

Alarms

1.

Supervisory alarms

2.

Faults (troubles)

3.

The highest priority event will be communicated to the Central Station first. It also is displayed, overriding any other
displayed event. Only one event is displayed at a time. Whenever multiple events occur, an authorized user may
view each event by pressing the Up and Down arrow switches on the keypad. At any time, the user may press the 1st
Event switch to display the first event that occurred (that is, the first event that occurred after the panel was last reset,
cleared of all active events and placed into Normal Mode).

If the events to be displayed are alarms only (no troubles), the control panel will scroll them on the display. Pressing
the 1st Event switch will stop the scrolling and cause the display of the first alarm that occurred. Operation of the Up
and Down arrow switches will display all remaining alarms in sequence.

Alarm Response

The MS-5012 will, upon detection of an alarm condition, perform the following functions:

✓

Turn the alarm LED on

✓

Activate the alarm relay driver (TB3-4)

✓

Display an alarm message as follows:

A 1
A 2
A 3
A 5

Alarm Zone 1

Alarm Zone 2

Alarm Zone 3

Alarm Zone 5

(Note that when Zone 4 is programmed as a supervisory zone, it will not be processed in the same
manner as a conventional alarm one. See 'System Supervisory Condition' later in this section.)

✓ Communicate the alarm to the Central Station

✓ Store the alarm in the History file

✓ Turn the Notification Appliance Circuit on

✓ Turn the piezo sounder on

Alarm Restoral

The control panel returns to normal only after all alarms have been cleared (pull stations reset, smoke detectors reset
and no smoke is present, waterflow has stopped) and the Reset switch has been pressed. The control panel will per­form the following upon restoral of all active alarms:

✓

Turn off the alarm LED

✓

Deactivate the alarm relay driver (TB3-4)

✓

Clear the 4- character display

✓

Send all 'Zone Restoral' messages to the Central Station

✓

Turn off the Notification Appliance Circuit

✓

Turn off the piezo sounder

Document #15465 Rev. F1 12/04/02 P/N 15465:F1

Operation

System Supervisory Condition

Zone 4 is factory programmed as a supervisory zone. This zone is primarily used in applications where a waterflow
sensing device has been employed and the wiring to the waterflow valve and/or a tamper switch is monitored. If the
wiring is cut, a trouble condition will occur. If the Normally Open tamper switch is activated, a supervisory condition
will occur.

When a supervisory condition occurs, the control panel will:

✓

Turn on the supervisory LED

✓

Activate the supervisory relay driver (TB3-6)

✓

Display the following message -

SUP4

✓ Communicate the supervisory condition to the Central Station

✓ Store 'supervisory' message in the History file

✓ Pulse the piezo sounder at ½ second On, ½ second Off rate

When the supervisory condition has been cleared (normal condition is restored and the Reset switch has been
pressed), the MS-5012 will perform the following:

✓ Turn off the supervisory LED

✓ Deactivate the supervisory relay driver (TB3-6)

✓ Clear the display of the message -

SUP4

✓ Communicate the 'supervisory restoral' message to the Central Station

✓ Shut off the piezo sounder

Trouble Conditions

The control panel will perform the following upon detection of a trouble condition:

✓ Turn on the trouble LED

✓ Activate the trouble relay driver (TB3-5)

✓ Display the appropriate trouble message. Following are the trouble messages shown in order of prior-

ity, from the highest priority to the lowest:

✓

Communicate the trouble condition to the Central Station

✓

Store the trouble condition in the History file

✓

Sound the piezo sounder one second On, one second Off

Note: When AC Brownout occurs, the AC LED turns off and the Trouble LED turns on. Should the
brownout condition remain, it will be transmitted to the Central Station after a delay (see Program
Address 55 in “Programming” on page 36).

Trouble Condition Restoral

The control panel performs the following upon restoral of a trouble condition:

✓

Turn off the trouble LED

✓

Deactivates the trouble relay driver (TB3-5)

✓

Turn on the AC LED upon restoral, if the trouble was loss of AC power

✓

Clear the display of the trouble message

✓

Communicate the restored trouble condition to the Central Station

OFF Normal Reporting

Removing the panel from Normal Mode, and placing it into any other mode, causes a transmission of an 'Off Normal'
fault message to the Central Station. Returning the panel to Normal Mode causes a transmission of a 'Return to Nor­mal' restoral message.

2.4 Digital Communicator

The MS-5012 transmits zone and system status reports to the Central Station via the public switched telephone net­work. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the control panel to the telephone lines. Two
optional 7-foot telephone cords are available for this purpose. Refer to Figure 3-6, “Wiring Phone Jacks,” on page
30, for proper wiring.

The control panel supervises both telephone lines for proper voltage. A delay of two minutes will occur before a fault
in either phone line connection is reported as a trouble. When a fault is detected, an audible trouble signal will sound,

the yellow trouble LED will turn on, the 4-character display will show either

no1

for Secondary Line, depending upon which telephone line has the fault, and the trouble condition will be reported to
the Central Station over the remaining operational phone line.

The control panel comes with line seizure capability provided to both the primary and secondary telephone line inter­faces. Any time the control panel needs to make a call to the Central Station, line seizure will disconnect any local
premises phones sharing the same telephone line.

All transmissions to the Central Station will be sent over the Primary phone line. In the event of noisy phone lines,
transmissions will be sent over the backup Secondary phone line.

Two phone numbers must be programmed, the primary phone number and the secondary phone number. See “Pro­gramming” on page 36. All system reports will be transmitted to the primary phone number. Reports will automati­cally be sent to the secondary phone number if attempts to transmit to the primary phone number are unsuccessful. If
10 attempts to communicate are unsuccessful, the Communicator Failure output will be turned on (TB3, Terminal 7).
Note that as an option, all reports may be sent to the secondary phone number.

Input Circuits

3.2 Input Circuits

The MS-5012 has five zone input circuits. The maximum loop resistance limit for each circuit is 100 ohms. All field
wiring for each zone is supervised for opens and ground faults. Both conditions are visually and audibly annunciated
as well as communicated to the Central Station.

• Zone 1 is a Style B Initiating Device Circuit (IDC) designed to accept any Normally Open contact device on

TB2, Terminals 1 & 2. It is power-limited to 2.66 mA in standby and 4.46 mA in alarm. The factory default
is 'Pull Station'. Refer to “Programming Instructions” on page 35.

• Zone 2 is a Style B Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept any Normally Open contact device and con-

ventional 2-wire, 12 volt smoke detectors on TB2, Terminals 3 & 4. It is power-limited to 7.17 mA in standby
and 24 mA in alarm. For a list of compatible 2-wire detectors refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Doc­ument. The factory default is '2-wire Detectors'. Refer to “Programming Instructions” on page 35.

• Zone 3 is a Style D Initiating Device Circuit. It is designed to accept any Normally Open contact devices, 2-

wire smoke detectors (Style B only) and waterflow sensing devices on TB2, Terminals 5 - 8. It is power-lim­ited to 7.17 mA in standby and 24 mA in alarm. A maximum of five waterflow devices may be used per
NFPA 71. For a list of compatible 2-wire detectors, refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document.
The factory default is 'waterflow'. Refer to “Programming Instructions” on page 35.

Note: When Zone 3 is programmed to accept 2-wire smoke detectors, it will only function as an NFPA
Style B Initiating Device Circuit. See Figure 3-2.

• Zone 4 is a Style B Initiating Device Circuit designed to function as a supervisory zone or may accept any

Normally Open contact device on TB2, Terminals 9 & 10. As a supervisory zone, the circuit may or may not
be able to detect a supervisory alarm condition after the occurrence of an open in the loop wiring. It is power­limited to 2.66 mA in standby and 4.46 mA in alarm. Factory default is 'Supervisory'. Refer to “Programming
Instructions” on page 35.

• Zone 5 is a Style B Initiating Device Circuit designed as a general purpose 'initiating zone'. It will accept any

Normally Open contact device on TB2, Terminals 11 & 12. It’s power-limited to 2.66 mA in standby and 4.46
mA in alarm. Factory default is '4-wire Smoke Detector'. Refer to “Programming Instructions” on page 35.

Four wire smoke detectors may be connected to any zone. Resettable power is provided via TB2, Terminals 13 & 14.
See Figure 3-2 for proper connection of 4-wire detectors.

It is allowable to mix an assortment of device types on any zone, however, it is not recommended. By not mixing
device types on one zone, messages sent to the Central Station may be very specific and detailed.

Operating Power

3.6 Operating Power

3.6.1 Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections

AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. Primary power source is 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.32
amps. A pair of wires, with a ground conductor, should be connected from the protected premises main breaker box
to the black and white primary leads of the MS-5012 system transformer. As per the National Electric Code, use 14
AWG (2.0 mm
In addition, this circuit must be provided with overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect
devices.

Connect the backbox ground stud to a solid earth ground (a metallic cold water pipe may be suitable in some installa­tions). This connection is vital for maintaining the control panel's immunity to unwanted electrical transients gener­ated by lightning and electrostatic discharge.

3.6.2 Secondary Power Source (batteries)

Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J1 on the main circuit board using the
plug-in connector provided. The battery charger is current-limited and capable of recharging sealed lead acid type
batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm. CAUTION: Battery contains sulfuric acid which can

cause severe burns to the skin and eyes and can destroy fabrics. If contact is made with sulfuric acid, immediately
flush the skin or eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

Programming Instructions

CHAPTER 4 Programming Instructions

Programming of the MS-5012 is possible at any time except when an alarm condition is present in the Normal Mode
of operation. The MS-5012 has been designed for many different types of applications. After examining your spe­cific application, review the programming options and choose the entries best suited for your system.

The MS-5012 has a built-in programmer. All programming selections are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM (Electri­cally-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). This ensures that the control panel will remember all entries in
programming mode even if both AC and battery power are removed.

The user must program the primary and secondary phone numbers, account numbers and 24 hour test report times for
each Central Station account and the current time. The control panel comes with factory chosen options/features
already programmed. Alternate options/features may be programmed if desired. If all factory default settings are
acceptable, programming is complete.

4.3.9 Programming the Secondary Number 24 Hour Test Time (47-50)

Use military time when entering the 24 hour 'test' time. The 24 hour test time over the secondary phone number to
the Central Station, takes up four locations at addresses 47-50. The default is 00:00 (12:00 midnight). The limits
for each location are as follows (do not use A through F as entries):

Address 47 - enter 0 through 2

Address 48 - enter 0 through 9

Address 49 - enter 0 through 5

Address 50 - enter 0 through 9

4.3.10 Programming Secondary Number 24/12 Hour Test Time (51)

The test message sent to the Secondary phone number may be sent every 12 or 24 hours. If the message is to be
sent every 24 hours, leave the factory default entry of '0'. If 12 hour test reports are needed, enter a '1' into address

51.

4.3.11 Programming Zone 3 Functionality (52)

The following entries may be selected:

• 0 = nonsilenceable waterflow zone (program optional delay in addresses 53-54)

• 1 = normally open contact device zone or silenceable waterflow zone

• 2 = 2-wire smoke detector zone (Style B only)

The factory default setting is '0' for nonsilenceable waterflow zone.

4.3.12 Programming Waterflow Retard Timer (53-54)

A maximum delay of 89 seconds can be programmed into addresses 53-54. This will delay activation due to a
'waterflow alarm' if zone 3 is programmed as a nonsilenceable waterflow zone. The panel automatically provides
a one second delay. The factory default setting for addresses 53-54 is '00' for no additional delay. Valid entries for
address 53 are 0 through 8 and for address 54, 0 through 9. Addresses 53 and 54 should be changed from the
default setting only if address 52 is programmed '0' for nonsilenceable waterflow zone and a delay is required. Be

careful to consider any built-in waterflow device delays.

4.3.13 Programming AC Loss Reporting Delay (55)

Enter a digit of '1 through 6' corresponding to the number of hours to be delayed in reporting loss of AC power.
The factory default setting is 6 hour delay. Valid entries are as follows:

• 0 = 6 hour delay

• 1 = 7 hour delay

• 2 = 8 hour delay

• 3 = 9 hour delay

• 4 = 10 hour delay

• 5 = 11 hour delay

• 6 = 12 hour delay

4.3.14 Programming Slave Communicator/Fire Panel Selection (56)

Leaving address 56 at the factory default setting of '0' means the MS-5012 is operating as a fire panel only. Select-
ing '1' will program the panel to operate as a slave communicator only. Refer to “Slave Communicator Configura­tion” on page 51. Selecting '2' will program the panel to operate as a fire panel/communicator.

4.3.15Secondary Phone Number Reporting (57)

The factory default setting is '0' which means that reports will be transmitted to the secondary phone number only
if calls to the primary number are unsuccessful. Programming a '1' causes all reports to be transmitted to the sec­ondary phone number.

4.3.16 Alarm Verification on Detector Zones 2 and 3 (58)

Factory default setting for address 58 is '0' which means no alarm verification. Entering a '1' enables verification
for zone 2 and zone 3. Consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to altering this address

Alarm verification works only on zones programmed as 2-wire smoke detector zones. After detecting an alarm,
the panel removes power from all zones for six seconds, resetting all 2-wire smoke detectors. Power is reapplied
and a 12 second retard period allows detectors to stabilize. During the retard/reset period of 18 seconds, subse­quent alarms by the same initiating zone are ignored. An alarm detected on any other 2-wire detector zone during
the retard period will cause immediate verified alarms. A subsequent alarm on the initiating zone occurring
within the confirmation time will cause a verified alarm.

Note: Mixing devices on zones designated as 2-wire smoke zones is not recommended.

During the alarm verification period, access to other modes of operation is prevented.

4.3.17 Silence Inhibit (59)

The factory default setting of '0' disables the silence inhibit feature. A '1' will enable the silence inhibit feature
which will prevent the silencing of the Notification Appliance Circuit and piezo sounder for 1 minute following
activation. Consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to altering this address.

4.3.18 Auto Silence (60)

The factory default setting of '0' disables the Auto Silence feature. A '1' will enable the Auto Silence feature
which will cause the panel to automatically silence the Notification Appliance Circuit after 10 minutes of activa­tion. Consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to altering this address.

.

4.3.19 Trouble Reminder (61)

The factory default setting of '0' disables the Trouble Reminder feature. Selecting '1' will enable the feature which
causes a reminding 'beep' every 15 seconds during an alarm and every two minutes during a trouble condition
(after the silence switch has been pressed). The 'beeps' from the onboard piezo sounder will continue until the
alarm or fault is cleared. Consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to altering this address.

Programming

4.3.20 Bell Disable (62)

The factory default setting of '0' enables the Notification Appliance Circuit. Entering a '1' in address 62 will cause
the Notification Appliance Circuit to be disabled during an alarm. In addition, the Trouble LED will turn on while
the NAC is disabled and a bell fault message will be sent to the Central Station(s). Consult the local Authority

Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to altering this address.

4.3.21 Annunciator Present (63)

The factory default setting of '0' indicates that no annunciator is present on the system. Entering a '1' in address 63
indicates an annunciator is connected to the system.

4.3.22 Programming Zone 4 Functionality (64)

The factory default setting for address 64 is '0' for supervisory zone (accepts normally open supervisory devices).
Changing address 64 to '1' allows Zone 4 to accept any normally open contact device. Note that when address 64

is changed to '1', the messages transmitted to the Central Station(s) must be changed to reflect the new setting. If
using 3+1, 4+1 or 4+2 Expanded Formats, address 71 must be changed to '1' and address 159 must be changed to
'1'. If using 4+2 Standard Formats, address 74 must be changed to '1' and address 162 must be changed to '1'.

4.3.23 Address (65) - Not used

4.3.24 Touchtone/Rotary Select (66)

The factory default setting for address 66 is '0' which enables Touchtone dialing over both phone lines. Entering a
'1' will enable rotary dialing.

4.3.25Make/Break Ratio (67)

An entry is required in address 67 only if address 66 has been programmed with a '1' for rotary dialing. The fac­tory default setting for address 67 is '0' for a Make/Break Ratio of 67/33. Enter a '1' to change the ratio to 62/38.

4.3.26 Programming Event Codes (68-243)

Table 4-1 through Table 4-4 list messages of 'event codes' that are sent to the Central Station. The selections
made for the Primary Number Communication Format (address 16) and the Secondary Number Communication
Format (address 42) automatically program addresses 68-243 with factory selections.

Any of the event codes may be changed. Consult your Central Station prior to altering the event codes. Entering
an event code of '0' will cause the communicator to NOT transmit the message. For the 3+1, 4+1 Formats or the
4+2 Expanded Format, enter a single zero '0'. For the 4+2 Standard Format, enter two zeroes '00'

Be certain to disable the reports in pairs. The pair should include both the activation of the event and the restoral
of the event. For example, to disable Zone 1 Fault Code from being transmitted, enter a '0' or '00' for the Zone 1
Fault Code plus a '0' or '00' for the Zone 1 Restoral Code. The exception to this is for the 24 Hour Test Reports
and the Abnormal Test Reports.

CHAPTER 5 Servicing

5.1 Walktest Mode

The MS-5012 provides the capability to perform a one-man walktest of the system without triggering the communi­cator or the alarm output relay driver. Walktest allows for testing of the five zones (initiating circuits). The first ini­tiating device activated on a zone will cause the Notification Appliance (bell) Circuit to turn on for four seconds.
Subsequent device activations on the same zone will cause the NAC to turn on for one second. Any smoke detectors
that are activated will be reset. Zonal faults (open circuits) will cause the NAC to remain steadily on. Prior to enter­ing Walktest Mode, check to be certain that all system faults have been cleared. Note that the trouble relay will be

activated while the control panel is in Walktest Mode. Placing the control panel in Walktest Mode will only be possi­ble if the system has no active alarms.

Slave Communicator Configuration

CHAPTER 6 Slave Communicator Configuration

The MS-5012 may be used as a slave communicator to a host or 'Master' fire alarm control panel (FACP). All wiring
between the Master and the MS-5012 is supervised. 2.2K ohm End-of-Line resistors must be connected as illustrated
in the typical wiring diagram in illustrated in this chapter.

In slave configuration, the five zones become five channels that may be triggered by the relay outputs of any host
FACP:

• Zone1/Channel 1 is used for general alarm

• Zone 2/Channel 2 is used for general trouble

• Zone 3/Channel 3 may be programmed to match the FACP relay function

• Zone 4/Channel 4 is used for supervisory

• Zone 5/Channel 5 may be programmed to match the FACP relay function

The factory settings for Zone 2/Channel 2 activation and restoral are altered as follows:

✓

If '2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B or D' is entered for address 16 or 42, the report code for Zone 2 Alarm Code
(addresses 69 and 157) = F and Zone 2 Restoral Code (addresses 90 and 178) = E

✓

If 'A or C' is entered for address 16 or 42, the report code for Zone 2 Alarm Code (addresses 70-71 and
158-159) = FF and Zone 2 restoral code (addresses 112-113 and 200-201) = EF

It is important to note that activation of Zone 2 is Slave Communicator Configuration will cause the yellow trouble
LED to flash and the trouble sounder to pulse, however, the red alarm LED will not activate and the notification

appliances will not sound.

Location 56 must be programmed to a '1' to enable the control panel as a slave communicator. When programming
the MS-5012 as a slave communicator, first program the communication formats (addresses 16 and 42), followed by
the slave communicator selection at address 56. This sequence allows the MS-5012 to automatically program the
proper report codes. Do not

Be certain to connect the MS-5012 primary AC power to the same branch circuit as the host FACP.

Battery Connection

The MS-5012 contains a battery disconnect relay which has multiple purposes. The primary purpose is to disconnect
the battery when the battery voltage is less the 7.0 volts during AC loss condition. This prevents the MS-5012 from
transmitting erroneous data to the Central Station under unsafe operating power. Also, with AC power applied, the
disconnect relay allows for battery voltage measurements in the Normal and Troubleshoot Modes.

Slave Communicator Configuration

Due to the presence of the disconnect relay, it is not possible to initially (out of the box) power up an MS-5012 from
the battery. AC power must be applied for six seconds. Once AC power is applied, do not connect a low capacity
battery (less than 7.0 volts) to the system. When replacing a bad battery, turn off AC power before connecting the
new battery.

Inputs are supervised
and power-limited

Relays in the Master FACP activate various input circuits on the MS-5012. Messages (event codes) programmed for
a particular input circuit (channel) will be transmitted to the Central Station upon relay activation.

defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. For products not under
the manufacturer's date-stamp control, the warranty is eighteen (18) months from date of
original purchase by the manufacturer's distributor unless the installation instructions or catalog
sets forth a shorter period, in which case the shorter period shall apply. This warranty is void
if the product is altered, repaired, or serviced by anyone other than the manufacturer or its
authorized distributors, or if there is a failure to maintain the products and systems in which
they operate in a proper and workable manner. In case of defect, secure a Return Material
Authorization form from our customer service department. Return product, transportation
prepaid, to the manufacturer.

This writing constitutes the only warranty made by this manufacturer with respect to its
products. The manufacturer does not represent that its products will prevent any loss by fire
or otherwise, or that its products will in all cases provide the protection for which they are
installed or intended. Buyer acknowledges that the manufacturer is not an insurer and assumes
no risk for loss or damages or the cost of any inconvenience, transportation, damage, misuse,
abuse, accident, or similar incident.

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE
WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS
