Fire-Lite Alarms Control Panels Get Premier Upgrades
ISC Solutions booth 1507 - Fire-Lite Alarmsby Honeywell, Northford, Conn., modernized two of its best-selling addressable fire alarm control panels with installer-requested features to reduce installation/maintenance time and enhance the systems’ capabilities and life span. Version 3 of the MS-9200UDLSand MS-9050UDpanels support more notification and ancillary devices while allowing for longer wire runs using virtually any style of wire. Simplified system programming, more robust surge protection, color-coded diagnostic lights and removable chassis can reduce installation time and service calls, the company said,
An extensive hardware and software redesign in both the MS-9200UDLS and MS-9050UD fire alarm control panels has created higher-capacity, easier-to-install systems. With fire alarm voice evacuation becoming more prevalent in the U.S. market, the number of speakers and strobes required has increased dramatically, creating a need for higher-capacity systems. An optional NAC (notification appliance circuit) expander module can double the MS-9200UDLS’ Class A circuits to four. On both panels, the addition of a second annunciator circuit, commonly used to tie in remote annunciators, printers and more, allows for double the number of ancillary devices and double wire lengths which can be run in different directions using nearly any type of wire.
