MODELS MSI-30B(C) / MSI-51BD
Manual Stations
INTRODUCTION
The Models MSI-30B and MSI-51BD Manual
Stations from Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.,
are addressable devices containing advanced
control panel communication technology. This
technology, which provides two-direction communication with the control panel, produces an Intelligent Initiating Device.
OPERATION
The MSI-30B/-51BD manual station housing has a
pull down lever that locks in position after releasing
a spring loaded switch (See Figure 3). To indicate
the manual station is activated, the pull down lever
remains down and locked until the station is reset.
The MSI-30B/-51BD is reset by opening the hinged
housing cover with an Allen key and then closing
and locking the cover.
Fire Safety
The MSI-30B has a keyswitch which can activate
a second address. The
MSI-30B and MSI-51BD
have a set of normally
closed auxiliary contacts
which are available for
releasing door holders
and magnetic door locks.

INSTALLATION
1. Locate the opening on the MSI cover that allows
access to the programming points on the MSI
printed circuit board. (Refer to Figure 1.)
2. The manual stations are programmed by using the
Model FPI-32 Programmer/Tester. Connect the
MSI-30B/-51BD to the Programmer/Tester by
MSI Cover
NOTES:
1. Recommended wire sizes:
18 AWG minimum, 14 AWG maximum
2. Wire larger than 14 AWG can damage the connector.
3. When using shielded cable without metal raceway or with
nonmetallic raceway, the shields should be terminated at the device
ground terminal. If the device box is already grounded by another means,
such as being mounted to a grounded structure, then the wire shields
should be continuous and must be grounded solely at the point of origin;

for example, at the control panel. The device ground terminal shall be
connected to the grounded device box.
4. When using shielded cable with metal raceway, the wiring shields shall
be continuous and grounded solely at the point of origin. The device
ground terminal shall be connected to the grounded device box.
5. When using metal raceway without shielded cable, connect the device
ground terminal to the grounded device box.
6. Metal raceway should be continuously grounded throughout the system.

using the cable provided with the Programmer/
Tester.
NOTE: The connection from the FPI-32 to the
MSI-30B/-51BD is not polarity sensitive. However,
connection from the Control Panel to the MSI-30B/
-51BD is polarity sensitive.
3. Following the instructions given in the FPI-32
Programmer/Tester Manual (P/N 315-090077),
program the MSI-51BD to the desired address. To
program the MSI-30B, follow the instructions on
page 3.
4. Record the device address on the label located on
the MSI-30B/-51BD housing. (See Figure 1.)
5. Distribute the manual station boxes throughout the
protected area so that they are unobstructed, readily
acessible, and located in the normal exit path.
6. Place the manual station according to the regulations
of the authorities having jurisdiction.
For surface mounting, mount the backplate of the
MSI-30B/-51BD to a Model MC-5 Backbox. (Refer to
Figure 3.)
For flush mounting, mount the backplate to a usersupplied single gang switchbox.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws. Overtightening may distort the backplate.
7. Install the MSI-30B/-51BD. (Refer to Figure 3.)
8. Wire the MSI-30B/-51BD to the System. (Refer to
Figure 2 for proper connections.)
9. In supervisory: MSI-30B/-51BD draws 1mA.

Programming Instructions
MODEL MSI-30B Manual Station
When programming the MSI-30B with the FPI-32 Field
Programmer, you must first determine the software
revision of the Field Programmer. This is done by
powering up the FPI-32 and reading the software
revision shown on the display.
The Test and Menu Modes are the same for FPI-32
Revision 1.2 and 1.3 software.
With revision 1.2 software, use the following procedure for programming Two Stage Manual Stations
(MSI-30B) using the FPI-32 Field Programmer.
PROGRAM MODE:
1. Select 1 = MXL mode for programming the device
addresses.
NOTE: System XL3 does not support the use of
the MSI-30B manual station. Therefore, the XL3
programming mode should never be used.
2. Select the address required for the keyswitch
(second address). The device automatically
defaults the first address (pull station) to the
selected address minus one.
Example: If the required address for the device
is 10 and 11, select address 11 in the program
mode and the FPI-32 will address the device to 10
and 11.
NOTE: Revision 1.2 software does not allow the
programming of an MSI-30B to addresses 59 and
60. Do not use this combination.
With revision 1.3 software, use the following procedure for programming Two Stage Manual Stations
(MSI-30B) using the FPI-32 Field Programmer.
PROGRAM MODE:
1. Select 1 = MXL mode for programming the device
addresses.
NOTE: System XL3 does not support the use of
the MSI-30B manual station. Therefore, the XL3
programming mode should never be used.
2. Select the address required for the pull station
(first address). The device automatically defaults
the second address (key switch) to the selected
address plus one.
Example: If the required address for the device
is 10 and 11, select address 10 in the program
mode and the FPI-32 will address the device to 10
and 11.
TEST MODE:
Test mode does not thoroughly test the device. This
mode only tests the first address of the unit. For more
complete testing, use the menu mode.
MENU MODE:
Test
This test mode only checks that the device is responding. For complete testing, move on to the analog
portion of menu mode.
Analog
When selecting READ ANALOG RESPONSES in the
menu mode, you can read the actual voltages being
sent by the device. The programmer allows you to
toggle between the two addresses by press-ing the
NO key. After selecting an address, press the YES
key to display the voltages. The voltage windows for
the MSI-30B are:
CAL 3.75 – 4.25
ID 7.12 – 8.00
ID-2 5.12 – 6.00
A2 (STBY) 0.63 – 5.88
A2 (ALARM) 6.00 – 8.00
