General
The FireLite MPS Addressable Series manual stations provide reporting for FireLite's ULC-listed fire alarm control panels. These high quality, die cast metal manual stations include screw terminal connections, and integrated break-glass rod. The alarm contact for the manual station is rated for 1A, 24VDC. The contacts are gold plated to avoid the risk of corrosion.
The MPS Series manual stations are available as single or twostage for addressable systems. Models FI-MPS-SA/SAC are single-stage manual stations. Models FI-MPS-2AC/2A (twostage models) are similar to the FI-MPS-SC (single-stage models) except they contain an additional 2nd Stage normally open key-switch. A 2nd stage key is supplied with each unit to activate the 2nd Stage key-switch.
All models are available with screw terminal connectors and a hex key for reset. Two-stage models also include a key-switch and 2 keys. All addressable models require an additional trim plate (sold separately) to mount on a 4" electrical box (RMSTP3) or a 2 gang electrical box (RMS-TP1) with a minimum depth of 5.5cm (2.125"). All addressable models can mount to a single gang electrical box for retrofit situations when used with an extension ring (MPS-ER, sold separately).
For surface mounting, use FireLite surface back-box with all addressable manual stations.
Operation
The FireLite MPS Series manual stations are operated by pulling the handle on the front of the station. To reset the manual station, open the manual station with the hex key (provided) and place the handle in the normal upright position. Replace the break-glass rod, and close the manual station front cover.
The FI-MPS two-stage models include a key switch which is located above the handle. Operation of the key-switch, when connected to a separate alarm initiating circuit, will activate the second stage of a two-stage alarm signaling system.
