Section 1: Product Description

The MS-5UD is a five zone FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and the MS-10UD is a ten zone
FACP. The information in this manual refers to both the MS-5UD and MS-10UD unless otherwise
specified. The combination control and digital communicator panels provide reliable fire signaling
protection for small to medium sized commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. The FACP
is compatible with System Sensor's i detectors which are conventional smoke detectors that can
3
transmit a maintenance trouble signal to the FACP indicating the need for cleaning and a supervi-
sory 'freeze' signal when the ambient temperature falls below the detector rating of approximately
45 o F (refer to System Sensor i Installation and Maintenance Instructions). In addition, the control
3
panel is compatible with conventional input devices such as two-wire smoke detectors, four-wire
smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches and other normally-open contact
devices. Refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility Document for a complete listing of compati-
ble devices.
Outputs include four NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits), three programmable Form-C relays
(factory programmed for Alarm, Trouble and Supervisory) and 24 VDC special application reset-
table and nonresettable power outputs. The FACP supervises all wiring, AC voltage, battery level
and telephone line integrity. Available accessories include local and remote upload/download soft-
ware, remote annunciators and reverse polarity/city box transmitter.
The integral DACT transmits system status (alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via
the public switched telephone network. It also allows remote programming or interrogation of the
control panel using the PS-Tools Upload/Download utility via the public switched telephone net-
work. Local programming interrogation is also possible using the PS-Tools and the USB port on
the FACP. Any personal computer with Windows ® XP or newer, compatible modem with a speed
of 2400 baud and PS-Tools may serve as a Service Terminal. This allows download of the entire
program or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest data and current status.
Activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm initiating device will
activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an indicating LED, display alarm informa-
tion on the panel's LCD, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm relay and
operate an optional module used to notify a remote station or initiate an auxiliary control function.
