Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property 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 panel (FACP) 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.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication methods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises 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. This document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. 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, chimneys, even wet or humid areas 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, such as air conditioning vents.
• 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

2

(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. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• 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 to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises 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 life safety 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 panel. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises 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 life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety 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 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 life safety system installers
only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this
unit until manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known
to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected,
at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected
by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be
tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature
ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this
system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a
10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interference, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial
wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility
to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical 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, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
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.

Section 1: Product Description
The MS-9050UD is a combination FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) and DACT (Digital Alarm
Communicator/Transmitter) all on one circuit board. This compact, cost effective, intelligent
addressable control panel has an extensive list of powerful features. The combination of Fire-Lite’s
newer series devices and legacy 300 Series devices, along with the MS-9050UD FACP, offer the
latest in fire protection technology. The power supply and all electronics are contained on a single
circuit board housed in a metal cabinet, providing a complete fire control system for most applications. Available accessories include local and remote upload/download software, 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 network. Any personal computer with Windows® XP or newer, and compatible modem with a speed
of 2400 baud or faster and Upload/Download software kit PK-CD, containing 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.
The MS-9050UDC is a ULC-approved Canadian version of the FACP which offers the same features as the MS-9050UD, but is supplied standard with a dress panel and one built-in ANN-LED
annunciator. Refer to“Canadian Option” on page 91 for a full description.
The MS-9050UDE offers the same features as the MS-9050UD but allows connection to 220/240
VAC power.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the terms FACP and MS-9050UD are used in this manual to
refer to all versions of the FACPs.

1 Total worst case current draw on a single ANN-BUS cannot exceed 0.5 amp.
If current draw exceeds 0.5 amps, refer to “Powering ANN-BUS Devices from
Auxiliary Power Supply” on page 39.

After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 2.1 specifies the maximum distance the
modules can be located from the FACP on a single wire run. The table ensures 6.0 volts of line
drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire gauges,
capacitance is the limiting factor. These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never be more than 6,000 feet (1,800 m), regardless of gauge used. The formula
used to generate this chart is shown in the note below.

Wiring Distance Calculation Example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following ANN-BUS modules:
•

3 ANN-80 Remote Fire Annunciators

•

1 ANN-S/PG Serial/Parallel Printer Interface Module

•

1 ANN-I/O LED Driver Module
The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
ANN-80 Current Draw

= 3 X 0.040 amps

= 0.120 amps

ANN-S/PG Current Draw

= 1 X.0.040 amps

= 0.040 amps

ANN-I/O Current Draw

= 1 X.0.200 amps

= 0.200 amps

Total Worst Case Current Draw

= 0.360 amps

Using this value and referring to the Wiring Distance Table 2.1 on page 37, it can be found that the
available options are:
 463 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
 1,172 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
 1,866 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire
 2,953 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire

2.9.2 ANN-BUS Device Addressing
Each ANN-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number) in order to communicate with the
FACP. A 5-position DIP switch on each device is used to set this address. The address set for these
devices must also be programmed at the FACP for the specific device (refer to the programming
section titled “ANN-BUS” on page 96).
A maximum of 8 devices can be connected to the FACP ANN-BUS communication circuit. Device
addresses do not need to be sequential and can be set to any number between 01 and 08. Note that
00 is not a valid address. The following table shows the DIP switch setting for each address.
When installed and enabled through FACP programming, the ANN-LC will always be set to
address 08. No dip switch settings are used to set the address on the ANN-LC.

NOTE: Address (ID Number) DIP switches on some devices may have more than 5 switch
positions. Unless otherwise specified in the documentation supplied with each device, switch
positions 6 and above must be set to OFF.

PRN-6F Printer Installation
When connected to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module, the PRN prints the status changes within
the control panel and time-stamps the printout with the time of day and date that the event occurred.
It provides 80 columns of data on standard 9” x 11” tractor-feed paper. This section contains information on connecting a printer to the control panel and setting the printer options.
 Connecting PRN-6F Printer

Remote printers require a primary AC power source. If required for the fire alarm system configuration (for example, a Proprietary Fire Alarm System), a remote printer requires a secondary power
source (battery backup). Since a secondary power source is not provided as a standard feature, a
separate UL-listed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) should be used. The building emergency
power supply may be used, as long as it meets the power continuity requirements of NFPA 72.
Refer to NFPA 72 for further details.
Connect the remote printer to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module using a standard DB-25 cable.
One end of the cable will plug into the DB-25 connector on the PRN printer and the other end plugs
into the parallel connector on the ANN-S/PG module. Note that the 9-pin DB-9 port on the ANNS/PG is used to connect a serial printer. The 25-pin port is used for a Centronics parallel printer
cable. Connect either a serial or parallel printer, but not both at the same time.

User Programming

3.2 User Programming
The MS-9050UD is completely field programmable and requires no special software skills. While
programming the MS-9050UD, the fire protection capabilities of the control panel are enabled.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in three ways:
•

Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the FACP
addressable SLC devices on-line without the necessity of programming each device
individually. Refer to “Autoprogram” on page 58 for a detailed description of
Autoprogramming

•

Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad or a PC keyboard

•

Off-line Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom
programs using a Windows-based computer. For programs requiring a large amount of data
entry, this method may be preferred. A PK-CD programming kit can be ordered for this
purpose

The System All Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active alarms,
troubles or supervisories, as illustrated below:
SYSTEM ALL NORMAL
10:00A 012110

Read Status and Manual Dial mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of operation.
Manual Dial mode, however, cannot be entered while the panel is communicating with the Central
Station. If an alarm or supervisory event exists at the panel, the event must be cleared before entering Programming mode. To access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter or
Mode key must be pressed, which will cause the LCD to display the following:
1=READ STATUS MODE
2=PROGRAMMING MODE
3=MANUAL DIAL MODE
4=REMOTE DOWNLOAD

Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the Read Status Mode which allows the user to view the programmed features and status of the control panel
The Read Status feature is not password protected. Refer to“Read Status” on page 136 for a
detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming Mode which may only be accomplished by an authorized
person. After pressing 2, a screen will prompt for a password. After entering the correct password,
the user may select from a list of programming options.
Pressing 3 will select the Manual Dial Mode which allows the user to enter a troubleshoot mode of
operation.
Pressing 4 will select Remote Download which allows the user to enable the remote programming
option. Refer to“Remote Download” on page 150.
Exit Programming, Read Status, and Manual Dial Mode
The programmer can exit any mode by repeatedly pressing the keypad ESC (Escape) key until the
display reads System All Normal. Note that the data which is entered during Programming mode
is not saved until the programmer exits this mode by repeatedly pressing the ‘ESC’ key. If the Reset
key is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, all data just entered will be lost.
User Programming Levels
There are two user programming levels:
•

56

User Master Program Level 1 is used for programming panel specific data relating to device
types, zoning, messages, control panel functions, etc.

User Maintenance Program Level 2 is used by a qualified operator to access features such as
Disable/Enable, View and Clear History, Walktest and System Time Change.

3.3 Initial Power-up
The following sections describe the initial programming procedures for a new system. The same
procedures are used to modify programming in an existing system.
After completing the wiring of addressable devices to the SLC, apply power to the control panel. If
the addressable devices have not yet been programmed into the FACP, their LEDs will not flash and
the following trouble message will be displayed.
TROUBL IN SYSTEM
NO DEVICES INSTALLED
09:03A 012110

3.4 Programming Screens Description
Four options are available when the Enter key is pressed: Read Status, Programming, Manual Dial
Mode and Remote Download. The Read Status and Programming options have multiple functions
or features which may be chosen. To view all of the choices, it is necessary that the programmer
scroll through a number of additional subscreens. These selections are displayed on multiple
screens to make them more readable for the programmer. Refer to “Master Programming Level”
on page 58, for additional information on the various screens.
The title of the main option screen will always be displayed at the top of the subscreens for the programmer’s convenience. If additional subscreens exist, an Up or Down arrow will be displayed in
the upper right corner of the screen being viewed. The programmer can then press the keypad Up
or Down arrow key to view the new subscreen. To select one of the choices in a screen, the programmer presses the keypad numerical key corresponding to the desired choice.
Note that subscreens may also have multiple options which require viewing more than one screen.
The same process, as detailed in the previous paragraphs, is followed to view all option choices.

3.5 Programming and Passwords
There are two factory set programming passwords which will access the Programming screens as
indicated in the following examples. From either of the screens, access to specific system and
device features or programming may be obtained. All user programming entries are stored in nonvolatile memory. The factory set passwords can be changed by the user as described in “Password
Change” on page 118. If an invalid password is entered, the blinking cursor will return to the first
password character position. To exit Programming, Read Status, Manual Dial mode or Remote
Download at any time, press the ESC (Escape) key repeatedly. Note that Programming mode must
be exited using the ESC key in order to store the program data entered during this mode. If the
Reset key is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, the data just entered will
not be saved.

PAS
The PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program the detector to delay panel activation
(including alarm relay and communicator) for a period of 15 seconds plus a programmable time of
up to 3 minutes. Zone 17, however, will activate immediately and may be used to connect a signaling device to indicate PAS activation (do not use a Notification Appliance Circuit for this purpose).
To enable the PAS feature, press 2 while viewing the Edit Detector Screen #3 until the display reads
PAS Yes. Each press of the 2 key will cause the display to toggle between PAS Yes and PAS No.
Refer to “Positive Alarm Sequence” on page 134.
For example, if a detector with address 005 is to be configured for PAS operation:
 Select PAS Yes when editing the detector set to address 005
 Program the desired zone or zones to be activated by this detector, in this example Z001
 Program an output, such as a control module that is to be activated by detector 005 by

assigning the same zone to it; in this example Z001
 Program an output, such as a control module, for PAS activation by assigning zone Z17 to it.

This control module may be connected to a signaling device used to indicate a PAS
condition (do not use a Notification Appliance Circuit for this purpose)
 Enable zones Z001 and Special Purpose Zone PAS 17 and set the PAS delay timer to some

value
With the preceding program settings, when the detector with address 005 is activated, zone Z17
will cause its associated control module to activate immediately, sounding the connected PAS signaling device. Following the PAS delay time, zone Z001 will cause its associated control module
to activate and the control panel will initiate an alarm condition.
Note that a detector can be enabled for either PAS or Pre-signal but not both.

Pre-signal
The Pre-signal option programs the detector to delay panel activation for a preprogrammed time
delay of up to three minutes while allowing for visual verification by a person. Note that the alarm
relay and communicator will respond to the initial alarm immediately. In addition, Zone 18 will
activate. This zone can be programmed to a control module which may be used to activate a
sounder or indicator which the installer designates as a Presignal indication (do not use a Notification Appliance Circuit for this purpose). To enable the Pre-signal feature, press 3 while viewing
Edit Detector Screen #3 until the display reads Pre-signal Yes. Each press of the 3 key will cause
the display to toggle between Pre-signal Yes and Pre-signal No. Refer to “Presignal” on page 134.
For example, if a detector with address 005 is to be configured for Pre-Signal operation:
 Select Pre-signal Yes when editing the detector set to address 005
 Program the desired zone or zones to be activated by this detector, in this example Z001
 Program an output, such as a control module that is to be activated by detector 005 by

assigning the same zone to it; in this example Z001
 Program an output, such as a control module, for Pre-signal activation by assigning zone

Z18 to it. This control module may be connected to a signaling device used to indicate a
Pre-signal condition (do not use a Notification Appliance Circuit for this purpose)
 Enable zones Z001 and Special Purpose Zone Pre-signal 18 and set the Pre-signal delay

timer to some value
With the preceding program settings, when the detector with address 005 is activated, zone Z18
will cause its associated control module to activate immediately, sounding the connected signaling
device to indicate the Pre-signal condition. Following the Pre-signal delay time, zone Z001 will
cause its associated control module to activate and the control panel will initiate an alarm condition.
Note that a detector can be enabled for either PAS or Pre-signal but not both.

In addition, the user may use the Recall/Increment function at any time when the cursor is on the
first letter of the Adjective or Noun field as follows:
•

If the zero key is pressed, a 0 is placed in the first letter position.

•

If the zero key is then pressed a second time with no intervening key actions, the entire
Adjective field is replaced with the field entered for the previous device programmed, and the
cursor moves to the last character of the field (Recall function). The Recalled Adjective or
Noun field may now be changed letter-by-letter.

•

If the zero key is pressed again with no other intervening key actions and the last character in
the field is a number 0-9, the number is incremented by one (9 will change to 0). If the last
character is a letter, it changes to a 0.

•

The above increment function may be repeated with each press of the zero key.

As an example, the user could quickly enter ‘FLR_3_ROOM 305’ as follows:
1.

The cursor is on the first letter of the Adjective field. Press the zero key twice to display
FLR_3.

2.

With the cursor on the first letter of the Noun field, press the zero key twice to recall the display ROOM_304. The cursor automatically jumps from the first to the last letter of the Noun
field.

3.

With the cursor on the last letter of the Noun field, press the zero key again to increment the
room number to 305.

4.

Press the Enter key to store the information.

Loop Setup Screen

Style
To program the SLC Style for the loop, press 1 for Style, while viewing Loop Setup Screen. In the
preceding example, the control panel is programmed for Style 4 SLC wiring as indicated by the 4 to
the right of Style in the display. To change the style, press 1 to toggle the display to read Style 6.
Each press of the 1 key will cause the display to toggle between Style 4 and Style 6. Note that, when
programming the Loop Style, the programmer can only select between Style 4 and Style 6. To program a system for Style 7 wiring, the programmer must select the Loop Setup for Style 6. Style 7
wiring is the same as Style 6 with the added requirement that each device on the loop must have a
pair of isolator modules, one on each side. The factory default setting is Style 4.
Note on SLC Troubles: If the FACP reports an open fault on an SLC Loop programmed for Style
6, the trouble condition will latch at the FACP. When the SLC Loop has been repaired, the Reset
button must be pressed at the FACP (at least 2 minutes after the trouble has been repaired) to clear
the SLC trouble.

Loop Protocol
Loop Protocol refers to the SLC loop mode of operation. The only mode available is CLIP (Classic
Loop Interface Protocol) which is used for the older legacy addressable devices such as the M300
Series modules and detectors as well as the newer devices. Pressing 2 while viewing the Loop
Setup Screen will have no effect on programming.
Device Addressing
It is important to note that the MS-9050UD addressable device capacity is 50 detectors and control/monitor modules. Addressable devices must not be set to addresses higher than 50. Programming will not allow addresses higher than 50.
Important: Detectors and Modules cannot have the same address. For example, if a detector is
installed at address 04, you cannot also have a module at address 04.
Note that It is permissible to mix old and new addressable devices on the same loop.

3.6.5 System Setup
System Setup allows the programmer to configure the following control panel features:
•

Trouble Reminder: This feature, when enabled, provides an audible reminder that an alarm or
trouble still exists on the FACP after the control panel has been silenced. The control panel
piezo sounder will pulse once every 15 seconds during an alarm and every two minutes during
a trouble condition, after the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge key is pressed. The piezo will
continue to sound at these rates until the alarm or trouble condition is cleared. Trouble
Resound is independent of Trouble Reminder. If a silenced trouble condition is not cleared by
midnight, the panel will reactivate the trouble sounder.

•

Banner: This option allows the user to change the top two lines of the LCD display from the
factory default readout to a user defined readout when the control panel is in Normal condition.

•

Time-Date: This feature allows the programmer to set the time, display format (24 hr or 12 hr),
date and daylight savings time feature into the FACP memory

If Two Stage operation is programmed as the Coding option, the following sequence of events will
occur during an alarm.

88

1.

The on-board NACs which are programmed to General Alarm Zone 0 will activate with a 1st
stage output upon activation of any alarm point.

2.

If the activated alarm point is directly mapped to a zone which is programmed to an on-board
NAC, that NAC will go directly to 2nd stage coding output. All other NACs not directly
mapped to the activated alarm point’s zone but assigned to Zone 0 will activate with a 1st stage
output.

3.

If, after the programmed time of 3 or 5 minutes, the Acknowledge switch has not been pressed,
all NACs presently in 1st stage activation will go to 2nd stage activation.

4.

If an Acknowledge switch has been pressed, the Alarm LED will turn from flashing to steady.
Any NACs currently in 1st stage activation will remain in 1st stage. Pressing the Acknowledge switch does not affect NACs already in 2nd stage activation.

5.

If another alarm point is activated and the countdown timer is counting, the alarm point will
have no effect on the NACs unless the alarm point’s zones are directly mapped to one of the
NACs, in which case it will follow the procedure outlined in step 2.

A flashing cursor will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. Enter the first digit then press
the right arrow key to move the cursor to the right one position. Enter the second digit and repeat
the process until all digits are entered. Press the Enter key to store the phone number in memory.
Enter the digits as you would like the number to be dialed. For example, if it’s necessary to dial 9
before dialing a number outside the building, you may wish to pause after dialing 9. Enter 9 followed by D for a three second pause or E for a five second pause, then the phone number followed
by an F to indicate the end of the number.

Section 4: Operating Instructions
4.1 Panel Control Buttons
4.1.1 Acknowledge/Step
The first press of the Acknowledge/Step button silences the piezo sounder, changes flashing indicators/LEDs to steady and also changes the status field on the LCD display from capital letters to
small letters. When the piezo is silenced, an acknowledge message is sent to the printer and the history file. Acknowledge also sends a silence piezo command to the optional annunciators connected
to the FACP.
When more than one event exists, the first press of the Acknowledge/Step button functions as
described in the preceding paragraph. Subsequent pressing of the button steps through each offnormal active event, with alarm events having a higher priority than trouble and supervisory events.

4.1.2 Alarm Silence
The Alarm Silence button performs the same functions as Acknowledge/Step. In addition, if an
alarm exists, it turns off all silenceable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) and causes Alarm
Silenced indicator to turn on. It also sends an ‘alarm silenced’ message to the printer, history file
and optional annunciators. A subsequent new alarm will resound the system NACs. Note that the
Alarm Silenced indicator is turned off by pressing the Reset button, the Drill button or subsequent
activation of the NACs.

4.1.3 Drill/Hold 2 Sec
When the Drill button is held for a minimum of two seconds (time required to prevent accidental
activations), the FACP turns on both main panel NAC outputs and all silenceable circuits such as
control modules that are programmed as silenceable, and turns off the Alarm Silenced indicator if it
was previously on. The EVAC IN SYSTEM message is shown on the LCD display. The same message is sent to the printer and history file. The Alarm Silence button can be used to turn off all
silenceable NAC outputs following activation by the Drill button.

4.1.4 Reset
Pressing and releasing the Reset button turns off all control module0s and NACs, temporarily turns
off resettable power to 4-wire detectors, causes a RESET IN SYSTEM message to be displayed on
the LCD and sends the same message to the printer and history file. It also performs a lamp test by
turning on all indicators/LEDs (except the Ground LED), piezo sounder and LCD display segments
after the Reset button is released. Any alarm or trouble that exists after a reset will resound the system.

4.2 Status Indicators and LEDs
The five status indicators which are located on the front panel and the three LEDs located on the
main circuit board, operate as follows:
AC Power
AC Power indicator illuminates green if AC power is applied to the FACP. A loss of AC power will
turn off this indicator.

Trouble Operation

4.4 Trouble Operation
With no alarms in the system, the detection of a trouble will cause the following:
•

The piezo to pulse 1 second On and 1 second Off

•

The system Trouble LED to flash one second On and one second Off

•

The trouble relay to activate

•

TROUBL with device type, noun/adjective, address and trouble description will appear on the
LCD display

•

The same message, along with the time and date, is sent to the optional printer and the history
buffer.

•

•

Terminate upload or download communications

Note that specific troubles will initiate additional actions; for example, loss of AC power will turn
off the AC Power LED, etc.
Addressable Smoke Detectors, Monitor Modules and Control Modules
For addressable devices connected to the SLC loop, the following is a typical message that could
appear on the LCD display for a device trouble:
TROUBL SMOKE (PHOTO)
 
INVREP
10:00A 100913 1D001

The information displayed in the above example provides the following information:
•

First line in display:
– The type of event; in this example TROUBL indicating a device trouble
– Device type identifier; in this example, SMOKE (PHOTO) indicates a Photoelectric smoke
detector. Other device type identifiers which can be displayed include SMOKE (ION) for
Ionization Detector, HEAT for Heat Detector, CONTROL for Control Module, and

– Device Address; 1D001 in this example 1 represents SLC Loop, D represents a detector, and
001 represents device address 001

Pressing the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key will cause the pulsing piezo to silence and the
system Trouble LED to change from flashing to on steady. This block acknowledgment occurs
regardless of the number of troubles, alarms and supervisory events active in the system. When the
Acknowledge/Step key is pressed and at least one new alarm or trouble exists in the system, the
‘acknowledge’ message is sent to the printer and history file. If the trouble clears, either before or
after the Acknowledge/Step key is pressed, the ‘clear trouble’ message is sent to the printer and history file.
If all troubles clear and there are no supervisory or fire conditions active in the system, the system
returns to normal mode operation and the System All Normal message is shown on the LCD display
and sent to the history and printer files. The auto-restore feature will restore cleared troubles even
if the troubles were never acknowledged. Note that pressing the Alarm Silence key when only troubles exist in the system will have the same effect as pressing the Acknowledge/Step key except the
Alarm Silenced LED will light.

4.5 Alarm Operation
Alarm operation is similar to trouble operation with the following differences:
•

The piezo sounder produces a steady output as opposed to a pulsed output

•

The Fire Alarm LED flashes 1 second On and 1 second Off

•

The LCD displays Alarm along with the device name, type, address, adjective/noun, associated
zones and time/date

•

Communicate the alarm to the Central Station

•

Alarms latch and are not allowed to clear automatically

•

Alarms activate software zones if so programmed

•

Timers for Silence Inhibit, Autosilence and Trouble Reminder are started

•

Alarms activate the general alarm relay and general alarm zone Z00

•

The trouble relay is not activated

•

Store event in history buffer

•

4.10 NAC Operation
There are two programmable NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) resident on the MS-9050UD
main circuit board which can be wired for Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A) . Both NACs may
be programmed as silenceable or nonsilenceable and may also be programmed for steady or coded
operation. Coded operation provides a choice between March Time, Temporal or California coding.

4.11 Programmed Zone Operation
Each addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of five software
alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control) points, but it is not necessary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zone for all alarm input devices. Zone
Z00 is not activated by supervisory points.
When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zones assigned to it. An
output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of the software zones to which it is programmed become active. Only fire alarms can turn on any of the two main NACs.
Note that hazards/tornado alerts do not turn on the two main NACs.

4.12 Disable/Enable Operation
Input points which are disabled do not cause an alarm or any zone activation. Disabled output
points are held in the off state. All disabled points are treated as if they were in trouble, with the
exception being the status label that will be displayed is DISABL.

4.13 Waterflow Circuits Operation
If an alarm exists from a monitor module point that has a waterflow type code and its mapped NAC
control module outputs are programmed for nonsilenceable operation, the Alarm Silence key will
not function. Also, any output zone activated by a waterflow device will not be silenceable if the
Waterflow Silenceable option is set to NO in system programming.

4.14 Detector Functions
Maintenance Alert
Each addressable detector is monitored by the control panel for its maintenance status. If a detector
is near but below the allowed alarm limit, a ‘maintenance alert’ message will automatically be displayed, signaling that the detector is in need of servicing.

132

MS-9050 Series Manual — P/N 52413:G 4/14/2014

Time Functions: Real-Time Clock

Operating Instructions

Automatic Test Operation
An automatic test of an addressable detector is performed each minute, resulting in a complete SLC
loop test in approximately 1 hour (if the loop has the maximum number of devices installed). The
detector’s sensing chamber and electronics are functionally tested for normal, safe operation. A
trouble message is displayed upon failure of this test. A System Reset will clear this trouble.
Type Code Supervision
The FACP monitors addressable hardware device codes at slow intervals. Mismatch of any type
code, compared to the system program, will cause a device trouble.
System Alarm Verification
The control panel may be programmed to perform alarm verification to help eliminate the nuisance
of false alarms. Alarm verification applies to smoke detectors only.
Smoke Detector Data
Smoke detector data is monitored by the FACP, eliminating the need to test the sensitivity of each
detector at its location. A printout of each detector’s data can be retrieved from the FACP using an
optional printer or Windows© HyperTerminal. Detector sensing ability can decrease with age and
should be monitored as part of a system’s routine maintenance.

4.15 Time Functions: Real-Time Clock
The MS-9050UD includes a crystal-based clock that provides time of day, date and day of week.
Time is displayed as 12 or 24 hour time with month/day/year and is stored in RAM. Daylight savings time change-over is programmable and automatic. If both AC and battery are lost, the time
must be reset.

4.16 Synchronized NAC Operation
Synchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in such a
way that all devices will turn on and off at exactly the same time. This is particularly critical when
activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid random activation and a potential hazard or
confusion. The FACP can be programmed to operate with a variety of manufacturer’s devices.
Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visual devices is
programmed for silenceable and the synchronization feature is selected, only the audible devices
will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual devices (strobes, etc.) will continue to
operate.

4.17 Coded Operation
The NAC circuits resident on the control panel main circuit board can be programmed for coded
operation. The available pulse rates which can be programmed for coded operation are as follows:
•

Continuous:

Steady output with no pulsing

•

March Time:

Pulses at 120 ppm (pulses per minute)

•

Temporal Code: Pulses at ½ second On, ½ second Off, ½ second On, ½ second Off,
½ second On, 1½ second Off

•

California Code: 10 seconds On, 5 seconds Off

•

Two-Stage

Pulses at 20 ppm (pulses per minute) for 3 or 5 minutes
and then changes to Temporal

Operating Instructions

Presignal

4.18 Presignal
Presignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs and/or control modules while allowing visual verification by a person. Once a detector or monitor module triggers an
alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACs are not activated for a user programmed time duration of up to three minutes. Note that the alarm relay and communicator will
respond to the initial alarm immediately. In addition, Zone 18 will activate. This zone can be programmed to a control module which may be used to activate a sounder or indicator which the
installer designates as a Presignal indication. Do not assign Zone 18 to a Notification Appliance
Circuit when using this zone to indicate a Pre-signal condition.
After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note
that if a second alarm occurs during the programmed time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate output zones. The events which occur upon Presignal
activation are as follows:
 onboard piezo sounds immediately
 control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point
 control points programmed to Zone 18 will activate
 annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and zone LED
 outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited from activating

for a user programmed time delay of up to three minutes
 second alarm occurring anytime during the time delay will cause immediate activation of all

associated outputs
Presignal does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, process monitoring or remote switches. Presignal operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction.

4.19 Positive Alarm Sequence
PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program a detector to delay panel activation (including
alarm relay and communicator) for a period of 15 seconds. Zone 17, however, will activate immediately and may be used to connect a signaling device to indicate PAS activation. Do not assign
Zone 17 to a Notification Appliance Circuit when using this zone to indicate a PAS condition.
When a detector triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACs are prevented from activating for 15 seconds. This inhibit time is factory set and cannot be changed.
Pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/Step key during the 15 second inhibit time will silence
the piezo sounder and start a timer which prevents activation of NACs for an additional time duration which can be user programmed for up to three minutes. After the programmed delay, the
NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs
during either time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate output zones. The events which occur upon PAS activation are as follows:
 onboard piezo sounds immediately
 control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point
 control points programmed to Zone 17 will activate
 annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and zone LED
 outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited from activating

for a factory set duration of 15 seconds
 pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/Step key will start a timer which inhibits output

activation for additional time delay of up to three minutes which is user programmable
 second alarm occurring anytime during either time delay will cause immediate activation of

all associated outputs
PAS operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Special System Timers

Operating Instructions

Note that the PAS BYPASS monitor type code, when activated, will inhibit the PAS capability until
the PAS BYPASS monitor is deactivated. While PAS is inhibited, signaling devices will immediately place the control panel into alarm. This feature may be employed by wiring a normally open
device, such as a switch, to a monitor module which has been programmed for PAS BYPASS.

4.20 Special System Timers
4.20.1 Silence Inhibit Timer
This option, if selected, prevents the Alarm Silence key from functioning for 60 seconds following
an alarm. A new alarm during the initial 60 second period will not cause the timer to restart with a
new 60 seconds. Silence Inhibit operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction.

4.20.2 Autosilence Timer
If Autosilence is selected, the notification appliances, programmed as silenceable, will automatically be silenced after a programmable duration of from 5 to 30 minutes. Pressing the Drill key
will restart the timer. Autosilence operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction.

4.20.3 Trouble Reminder
If selected, this feature causes a reminding ‘beep’ every 15 seconds during an alarm (after the
Alarm Silence key is pressed) and every two minutes during a trouble condition (after the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key is pressed). The ‘beeps’ from the onboard piezo sounder will occur
until the alarm or fault is cleared.
Note that enabling/disabling the Trouble Reminder feature has no effect on Trouble Resound.
When an existing trouble in the system is silenced, if the trouble condition is not cleared before
midnight, the piezo will resound, indicating that the trouble condition still exists.

4.20.4 Waterflow Retard Timer
If selected, this option will delay the activation of a waterflow type alarm for a programmable time
duration from 1 to 90 seconds. This delay is in addition to any time delay inherent in the waterflow
device. This feature requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

4.20.5 Alarm Verification (None or One Minute)
If alarm verification is selected, an addressable smoke detector's alarm is ignored for a retard time
of 23 seconds and the detector's alarm condition is automatically reset. There will be no alarm indication at the FACP during the Retard period. A confirmation period of 60 seconds follows, during
which a subsequent alarm from the same detector will cause the panel to immediately activate the
appropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at the FACP. If a different detector alarms any
time during the first detector's verification period, the panel will immediately activate all appropri-

4.21 Walktest
Walktest is a feature which allows one person to test the fire alarm system. An audible walktest
will momentarily sound the Notification Appliance Circuits in the building and store the walktest
information in a file at the panel. A silent walktest will not sound the NACs but will store the walktest information in a file which can be viewed at the panel. Disabled NAC devices will not activate
during walktest.
Alarm/Shorted Condition
When in audible Walktest, the panel responds to each new alarm and activates its programmed control outputs for four seconds, if those outputs have been programmed for silenceable activation. It
also stores each alarm in the walktest history file which can be sent to an optional printer. The
stored display will be the same as if the device actually activated except the colon (:) in the time
stamp is replaced with an asterisk (*).
Open Condition
Addressable devices as well as all main circuit board NACs are monitored for fault conditions
during Walktest mode. When a new trouble condition occurs, the FACP will activate all NACs and
control modules programmed for Walktest, then shut them off after eight seconds.
While in Walktest, the trouble relay is activated and the system Trouble LED flashes (as in all of
the Program and status change operations). The alarm relay is not activated.

4.22 Read Status
Read Status functions do not require a password. The control panel will continue to provide fire
protection while in Read Status mode. This mode can be entered while the control panel is in alarm
or trouble. If a new alarm or trouble occurs during these functions, the Read Status is exited to prevent confusion.

Chamber Value
The Chamber value should be within the indicated range for the following smoke detectors:
•

SD350(T), SD355(T), D350P(R), D355P(R), SD300(T), AD350, and AD355 Addressable
Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: 405 - 2100 (obscuration of 1.00%/ft to 3.66%/ft.)

•

CP350, CP355 and CP300 Addressable Ionization Smoke Detectors: 750 - 2100 (obscuration
of 0.50%/ft. to 1.44%/ft.)

If the addressable smoke detector’s Chamber reading is not within the acceptable range, clean the
detector and check the Chamber value again. If the reading is still not within the acceptable range,
immediately replace the detector.
Drift Compensation
Drift compensation uses software algorithms that identify and compensate for long-term changes in
the data readings from each addressable smoke detector. These long-term changes in detector data
readings are typically caused by dirt and dust accumulation inside the smoke chamber. Drift compensation performs the following functions:
•

142

Samples each photoelectric smoke detector every 6 seconds and each ionization smoke
detector every 3 seconds

MS-9050 Series Manual — P/N 52413:G 4/14/2014

Read Status

Operating Instructions

•

Allows a smoke detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke and resist false
alarms, even as dirt and dust accumulate

•

Reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the control panel to automatically perform the
periodic sensitivity measurements required by NFPA Standard 72

The FACP software also provides filters to remove transient noise signals, usually caused by electrical interference.
Maintenance Alert
The software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches an unacceptable level
that can compromise detector performance. When a detector reaches an unacceptable level, the
control panel indicates a maintenance alert. Table 4.1 summarizes the three levels of maintenance
alert:

Section 5: Central Station Communications
The control panel transmits zone and system status reports to Central Stations 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 and can be purchased separately.
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 blink, the LCD display
will indicate the phone line trouble 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 for both the primary and secondary
telephone line interfaces. Any time that the control panel needs to make a call to a Central Station,
line seizure will disconnect any local premises phones sharing the same telephone line.
All transmissions to the Central Stations 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 Central Station phone number and the secondary Central Station phone number. All system reports will be transmitted to the primary Central
Station phone number. Reports will automatically be sent to the secondary Central Station phone
number if attempts to transmits to the primary Central Station phone number are unsuccessful. If
10 total attempts to communicate are unsuccessful, a Communicator Failure report will be displayed. Note that as an option, all reports may also be sent to the secondary Central Station phone
number.
The MS-9050UD meets NFPA 72 National Fire Code reporting requirements for: (a) the type of
signal, (b) condition and (c) location of the reporting premises. The general priority reporting
structure is:

Section 6: Local/Remote Site Upload/Download
The control panel may be programmed or interrogated off-site via the public switched telephone
network. Any personal computer with Windows® XP or greater, with a 2400 baud compatible
modem and Fire-Lite Upload/Download software kit P/N PK-CD, may serve as a Service Terminal.
This allows download of the entire program or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest
data, current status, time and date.
The control panel may also communicate to a local PC at the job-site. The PC must be connected
to TB3 as shown on page 10, using cable P/N: PRT/PK-CABLE.
Important: Remote modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for
remote download (refer to “Remote Download” on page 150). Remote interrogation of panel programming, history logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote download
option.
CAUTION: To prevent the 'request for upload/download' message(s) from being reported to the
Central Station(s), make certain to disable all upload/download reports back to both Central Stations (refer to “Central Station” on page 107).
After the downloading process, the fire protection may be inactive for up to 2 minutes while the fire
panel re-initializes.
After successfully downloading a program, make certain to perform the following steps:
1.

Review all programmed entries and compare to intended program data

2.

Test all affected panel operations

3.

Immediately correct any problems found

6.1 Remote Download
NFPA 72 requirements state that a technician must be on-site and at the control panel whenever the
PS-Tools programming utility is used to download any information to the FACP. For this reason, a
new option has been added to the FACP which allows an individual at the FACP to enter a password and either enable the proprietary mode where downloading will be allowed at any time or
access a specific password protected screen where downloading will be allowed regardless of the
current proprietary setting. The Remote Download option can be selected from the main menu
screen as shown below:
1=READ STATUS MODE
2=PROGRAMMING MODE
3=MANUAL DIAL MODE
4=REMOTE DOWNLOAD

Pressing 4 for Remote Download while viewing the main menu will cause the following screen to
be displayed:
REMOTE DOWNLOAD
ENTER PASSWORD


The Remote Download password (default 00000) must be entered to access the Remote Download
feature. Note that the default password can be changed using the Password Change option (refer to
“Password Change” on page 118). Entering the correct password will cause the following screen to
be displayed:

MS-9050 Series Manual — P/N 52413:G 4/14/2014

Transferring a Program

Local/Remote Site Upload/Download

Pressing 1 for Proprietary No (factory default setting), while viewing the Remote Download
screen, will cause the display to toggle from Proprietary No to Proprietary Yes. Each press of the 1
key will cause the display to toggle between Proprietary No and Proprietary Yes. Selecting Proprietary Yes will program the FACP to allow remote programming downloads from the PS-Tools programming utility at all times without the need to access the Remote Download screen.
Pressing 2 for Accept Download will cause the following screen to be displayed:
ALLOWING DOWNLOADS
IF YOU EXIT THIS
SCREEN DOWNLOADS
WILL BE DISABLED!

While this screen is displayed, remote programming downloads are allowed regardless of the Proprietary setting. Exiting this screen will disable any further downloads to the FACP. Also, following 30 minutes of inactivity (including up/downloading), the Accept Download screen will timeout, causing the display to return to the System All Normal screen.

6.2 Transferring a Program
The first time that the control panel is contacted, a secret code is loaded in by a Service Terminal.
Future upload or download requests cause verification of the secret code by the control panel
before processing of data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the control panel will terminate the request.
While the control panel is communicating with the remote Service Terminal, one of the DACT’s
red phone line active LEDs and the green Kissoff LED will remain on steady. These LEDs do not
light for local (direct connect) programming.
In order to download to the panel, the following must be true:
 The control panel must be in the Normal Mode of operation. Downloading is not allowed if

the panel is in any other mode.
 There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station receiver.
 All active events must be successfully 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s). The

communicator must be in a standby state with no new information waiting to be transmitted
to a Central Station.

6.3 Security Features
Upload and download with the control panel have been carefully designed to include key security
features to ensure proper functionality. Any time a transfer is initiated, the control panel and the
Service Terminal will communicate and transfer data before contacting a Central Station. When
the data transfers are completed and the control panel disconnects from the Service Terminal, the
control panel will call the Central Station and report one of the following conditions:
•

Upload/download request received

•

Upload and/or download request successful

•

Upload/download failed

The key features are listed and explained in the following sections.
Secret Code Verification
A secret code is stored in the control panel by a Service Terminal to prevent unauthorized access.
The secret code is created at the Service Terminal by the master user and cannot be viewed or
changed by anyone other than a master user. Viewing of the secret code is prohibited at the control
panel. Prior to allowing an upload or download of data, the control panel will verify the secret code
transmitted by the Service Terminal.

MS-9050 Series Manual — P/N 52413:G 4/14/2014

151

Local/Remote Site Upload/Download

Security Features

Time-out at Control Panel
Upon answering an incoming (modem) call on the primary Central Station phone line, the control
panel will listen for a modem connection signal. If this signal is not received within 30 seconds, the
control panel will disconnect the call. Upon successful connection (secret code verified), if no
communication occurs within five minutes, the panel will disconnect the call.
Whether a PC is connected locally (at the job-site) or remotely (modem), 2 minutes of inactivity
will result in an upload/download time-out. Upon time-out, transfer activity will be reported to the
Central Station (if enabled) and the connection will be terminated.
Error Checking
As each block of data is received by the control panel, it is checked for accuracy. If an error is
detected, the block is retransmitted until correct, up to a maximum of four times. If the Secret Code
is not verified and four errors occur, the call is disconnected and the report that the upload/download was not successful is called to the Central Station(s).
Central Station Data Protection
The primary and secondary Central Station phone numbers, communications format, account code,
test time and programmable event codes are vital Central Station information. These blocks of data
are protected from partial programming due to faulty phone connections, line noise and other
errors. This prevents the panel from being confused due to a wrong phone number, account code,
test time and most critical formatting errors.

Section 7: Power Supply Calculations
7.1 Overview
This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and
standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:
1.

Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system

2.

Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and
calculating the secondary (battery) load

3.

Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs

4.

Selecting the proper batteries for your system

7.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit
The control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which must be
labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side of the main power feed
of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be powered from the fire alarm
branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnect devices,
from the power source to the control panel. Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply
with Article 760 of the National Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm2)
wire with 600 volt insulation for this branch circuit.
Use Table 7.1, to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes (A), that must be supplied
to the system.

Calculating the System Current Draw

7.3 Calculating the System Current Draw
7.3.1 Overview
The control panel must be able to power all internal and external devices continuously during the
non-fire alarm condition. To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the system power supply when
primary power is applied, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 7.3 on page 155. The control panel
must support a larger load current during a fire alarm condition. To calculate the fire alarm load on
the power supply, use Calculation Column 2 in Table 7.3 on page 155. The secondary power
source (batteries) must be able to power the system during a primary power loss. To calculate the
non-fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 3 in Table 7.3 on
page 155.
When calculating current draw and the battery size, note the following:
•

‘Primary’ refers to the main power source for the control panel

•

‘Secondary’ refers to the control panel’s backup batteries

•

All currents are given in amperes (A). Table 7.2 shows how to convert milliamperes and
microamperes to full amperes.
To convert...

Multiply

Milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A)

mA x 0.001

Microamperes (µA) to amperes (A)

µA x 0.000001

Example
3 mA x 0.001 = 0.003A
300 µA x 0.000001 = 0.0003 A

Table 7.2 Converting to Full Amperes

7.3.2 How to Use Table 7.3 to Calculate System Current Draw
Use Table 7.3 on page 155 to calculate current draws as follows:
1.

Enter the quantity of devices in all three columns.

2.

Enter the current draw where required. Refer to the Fire-Lite Device Compatibility Document
for compatible devices and their current draw.

3.

Calculate the current draws for each in all columns.

4.

Sum the total current for each column.

5.

Copy the totals from Column 2 and Column 3 to Table 7.4 on page 156.

Following are the types of current that can be entered into Table 7.3 on page 155:
 Calculation Column 1 - The primary supply current load that the control panel must

support during a non-fire alarm condition, with AC power applied
 Calculation Column 2 - The primary supply current load that the control panel must

support during a fire alarm condition, with AC power applied
 Calculation Column 3 - The standby current drawn from the batteries in a non-fire alarm

condition during a loss of AC power

Calculating the Battery Size

7.4 Calculating the Battery Size
Use Table 7.4 to calculate the total Standby and Alarm load in ampere hours (AH). This total load
determines the battery size (in AH), required to support the control panel under the loss of AC
power. Complete Table 7.4 as follows:
1.

Enter the totals from Table 7.3 on page 155, Calculation Columns 2 and 3 where shown.

2.

Enter the NFPA Standby and Alarm times (refer to ‘NFPA Requirements’ below).

3.

Calculate the ampere hours for Standby and Alarm, then sum the Standby and Alarm ampere
hours.

4.

Multiply the sum by the derating factor of 1.2 to calculate the proper battery size (in AH).

5.

Write the ampere hour requirements on the Protected Premises label located inside the cabinet
door.

Table 7.4 Total Secondary Power Requirements at 24 VDC

7.4.1 NFPA Battery Requirements
•

NFPA 72 Local and Proprietary Fire Alarm Systems require 24 hours of standby power
followed by 5 minutes in alarm.

•

NFPA 72 Central, Auxiliary and Remote Station Fire Alarm Systems require 60 hours of
standby followed by 5 minutes in alarm. Batteries installed in a system powered by a
generator need to provide at least 4 hours of standby power.

7.4.2 Selecting and Locating Batteries
Select batteries that meet or exceed the total ampere hours calculated in Table 7.4. The control
panel can charge batteries in the 7 AH to 18 AH range. The control panel cabinet is capable of
housing batteries up to 18 AH. Batteries larger than 18 AH require a UL listed external battery
charger and cabinet such as the BB-26, BB-55F, or other UL-listed external battery cabinet.

Appendix A: Software Zones
A.1 Correlations
Setup and configuration of an addressable system is different than a conventional system. In a conventional system, assignment of input devices (smoke detectors, pull stations, heat detectors, etc.)
to zones is accomplished through wiring. The wiring is direct from clearly marked panel terminals
to any device assigned to a particular zone. Connection of output devices (horns, bells, strobes,
etc.) in a conventional system is accomplished by direct wiring of the output devices to Notification
Appliance Circuit terminals.
In an addressable system, a minimum of a single pair of wires (SLC communication loop) is used
to connect all addressable input and output devices. Communications between the FACP (Fire
Alarm Control Panel) and all addressable devices takes place over the wire pair which originates
from the FACP. Software programming is used to configure the system as opposed to direct wiring.
Zone assignments are created via software means, hence the term software zones.
Setup of an MS-9050UD software zone is accomplished by panel programming. Each addressable
device can be assigned to a maximum of five software zones. Each software zone, however, may
have from 1 to 50 addressable input and output devices assigned to it.
Monitor modules, control modules and detectors comprise a group of 50 addresses, each device
having a unique address from 1 to 50. Be careful not to duplicate addresses between devices.
Refer to the following page for an example of zoning.
In the example on the following page:
•

Zone 01 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
 SD355 smoke detectors with addresses 01 and 02
 MMF-300 monitor module with address 03
 MMF-302 monitor module with address 04 and 05
 CMF-300 control modules with addresses 06, 07, 10, 11, and 13

•

Zone 02 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
 MMF-302 monitor module with addresses 04 and 05
 CP355 smoke detectors with addresses 15 and 16
 CMF-300 control modules with addresses 20, 11, and 21

•

Zone 03 has the following addressable devices assigned to it:
 SD355 smoke detectors with addresses 22, 24, and 25
 MMF-302 control module with address 30
 CMF-300 control modules with addresses 11, 31, and 32

The example points out some of the key assignment features of the MS-9050UD. Addresses of
detectors, monitor modules and control modules are not duplicated. The control module with
address 11 is assigned to three software zones (providing floor above and floor below). Be careful
to properly plan the installation prior to installing any devices.

Appendix E: Wire Requirements
T-tapping of the SLC loop wiring is allowed for 2-wire (Style 4) configurations. The total resistance of any branch cannot exceed 40 ohms. The total wire length of all branches cannot exceed
10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Connecting external system accessories to the MS-9050UD main circuits must be carefully considered to ensure proper operation. It is important to use the correct type of wire, wire gauge and wire
run length for each MS-9050UD circuit. Reference the charts below to specify wire requirements
and limitations for each MS-9050UD circuit.
SLC Loop Using Twisted, Unshielded Wire
While shielded wire is not required, it is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference. Use the following table to determine the specific wiring
requirements for the SLC when various wire is used.
NOTE: If the SLC loop is to be run in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, the risk of
encountering problems can be greatly reduced by exclusively employing electronic sounders
(such as MA/SS-24D) instead of more electronically noisy notification appliances such as
electromechanical bells or horns

Appendix F: HVAC Control
The FACP can be programmed to shut down a building’s HVAC fans in the event of a fire. The
fans cannot be restarted until the fire alarm condition has been cleared and the FACP has been reset
to a normal (non-alarm) condition.
IMPORTANT! This HVAC feature is not to be used for smoke control. It is only designed to shut
down fans during a fire alarm condition.

F.1 Control Module Operation
F.1.1 HVAC SHUTDN
The HVAC SHUTDN type code can be assigned to any addressable control relay module for the
purpose of shutting down HVAC fans during a fire alarm condition. Devices connected to a module with this type code are unsupervised. To program this feature in the FACP:
•

Program the HVAC SHUTDN type code to the control relay module which will be used to
shut down the fans (refer to Type under the section titled“Edit Module Screen for Control
Modules” on page 73).

•

Program the control relay module to a software zone and program alarm input devices which,
when activated are to cause fan shutdown, to the same software zone (refer to Zone Assignment
under the section titled“Edit Module Screen for Control Modules” on page 73).

•

Monitor the control relay module using an addressable monitor module programmed for
Trouble Monitor. The monitor module label should be programmed to indicate HVAC
SHUTDOWN. When the control relay module is active (HVAC SHUTDN), the monitor
module will indicate a trouble condition at the FACP and the display should indicate that the
HVAC is shut down.

Once activated, the HVAC SHUTDN control module remains activated, even if the FACP is
silenced or reset. After the alarm condition on the FACP has been cleared and the panel reset, the
HVAC SHUTDN control relay module remains activated and the fans remain off. The monitor
module programmed for Trouble Monitor which is being used to supervise the control relay module, will indicate a trouble condition at the control panel and the LCD should display that the
HVAC is shut down. The fans can only be restarted when the HVAC SHUTDN control relay module is deactivated by the HVAC RESTART module.

F.2 Monitor Module Operation
F.2.1 HVAC RESTART
The HVAC RESTART type code can be assigned to any addressable monitor module for the purpose of resetting (deactivating) the HVAC SHUTDN control relay module and turning the fans
back on. The HVAC RESTART monitor module acts globally throughout the FACP system and
therefore is not programmed to a particular software zone. To program this feature in the FACP:
•

Program the HVAC RESTART type code to the monitor module which will be used to
deactivate the HVAC SHUTDN control relay module and restart the fans (refer to Type
Monitor under the section titled “Edit Module Screen for Monitor Module” on page 67).

The HVAC RESTART monitor module does not latch when activated. Pressing a switch connected
to the monitor module will deactivate the HVAC SHUTDN control relay module only if there are
no alarm conditions. The HVAC SHUTDN control relay module can be deactivated if trouble conditions exist on the FACP.

MS-9050 Series Manual — P/N 52413:G 4/14/2014

173

HVAC Control

Monitor Module Operation

F.2.2 HVAC OVRRIDE
The HVAC OVRRIDE type code can be assigned to any addressable monitor module for the purpose of overriding or preventing the HVAC SHUTDN control relay modules from activating. The
HVAC OVRRIDE monitor module acts globally throughout the FACP system and therefore is not
programmed to a particular software zone. To program this feature in the FACP:
•

Program the HVAC OVRRIDE type code to the monitor module which will be used to
override the HVAC SHUTDN control relay module and prevent the fans from turning off
(refer to Type Monitor under the section titled “Edit Module Screen for Monitor Module” on
page 67).

The HVAC OVRRIDE monitor module does not latch when activated. Activating a switch connected to the monitor module will override all HVAC SHUTDN control relay modules in the system, preventing the HVAC SHUTDN modules from activating and causing the FACP LCD to
display an active HVAC OVRRIDE module and turn on the Supervisory LED. Releasing the
switch will allow the HVAC SHUTDN control relay modules to activate with subsequent alarms,
turning off the fans.
As an example, pressing the HVAC OVRRIDE switch with no alarms in the system will prevent the
fans from being turned off when an alarm does occur. As long as the switch is activated, the fans
will not shutdown for any alarms. If the system is still in alarm when the switch is released, the
fans will not shutdown unless another alarm occurs after the switch is released.
Important! If an alarm exists in the system and HVAC Shutdown has already occurred, HVAC
OVRRIDE will have no effect on the HVAC SHUTDN control relay modules. HVAC OVRRIDE will
prevent HVAC Shutdown from occurring only if it is initiated prior to an alarm condition.
NOTE: Activation of the HVAC OVRRIDE module causes a supervisory event that will be
communicated to the Central Station if enabled.

Appendix H: Canadian Application
H.1 ANN-LED Annunciator Installation for Canadian
Applications
•

The FACP is supplied with a Dress Panel and one ANN-LED annunciator.

•

When installing and programming the FACP, the Canadian Option must be set to ON prior to
any other panel programming (refer to “Canadian Option” on page 91 of the Programming
Section of this manual).

•

The optional, local ANN-LED annunciators must be adjacent and close-nippled to the FACP
with the wiring in metal conduit.

•

When using additional ANN-LED annunciators on the primary ANN-BUS circuit, a ground
wire must be daisy-chained between circuit board mounting screws on each annunciator and
then connected from the last annunciator board to the Earth Ground stud in the FACP backbox.
This applies only to the primary ANN-BUS circuit.

•

If remote indicators are desired, they must be connected to the secondary ANN-BUS circuit.
This requires the use of the ANN-SEC option card.

•

The installer must write in the Date of Final Assembly on the Master Marking and Warranty
Label located on the FACP backbox door.

•

To comply with CAN/ULC-S559-04, the 4XTMF option must be utilized along with the
configuration shown in Figure H.3.
