6.0 Slave Communicator Configuration
The MS-5012 may be used as a slave communicator to a host or "Master"
fire alarm control panel (FACP). Figure 6.0-1 shows a typical connection.
All wiring between the Master and the MS-5012 is supervised. 2.2K End-
Of-Line resistors should be connected as shown in Figure 6.0-1.
In slave configuration, the five zones become five channels that may be
triggered by the relay outputs of any host FACP. Zone 1/Channel 1 is used
for general alarm, Zone 2/Channel 2 is used for general trouble and Zone
4/Channel 4 is used for supervisory. Zones/Channels 3 and 5 may be
programmed to match the FACP relay function.
The factory settings for Zone 2/Channel 2 activation and restoral are
altered as follows: If 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B or D is entered for address 16
or 42, the report code for Zone 2 Alarm Code (address 69, 157) = F, Zone
2 Restoral Code (address 90, 178) = E. If "A or C" are entered for address
16 or 42, the report code for Zone 2 Alarm Code (addresses 70-71, 158-
159) = FF, Zone 2 restoral code (addresses 112-113, 200-201) = EF.
It is important to note that activation of Zone 2 in Slave Communicator
Configuration will cause the yellow trouble LED to flash and the trouble
sounder to pulse, however, the red alarm LED will not activate and the
notification appliances will not sound.
Location 56 must be programmed to a '1' to enable the control panel as a
slave communicator. When programming the MS-5012 as a slave
communicator (address 56=1), first program the communication formats
(addresses 16 and 42) followed by the slave communicator selection at
address 56. This sequence allows the MS-5012 to automatically program
the proper report codes. Do not program location 56 first and then alter
the format selections at addresses 16 and 42.
If any of the report codes are to be altered from the factory defaults,
follow the steps above and exit program mode. Next reenter program
mode and alter any event codes.
After programming is complete, the enter/store key or the up, down arrow
keys may be used to view programmed entries. However, do not use the
enter key to view location 56 since it will reprogram the factory default
event codes.
Be certain to connect the MS-5012 primary AC power to the same branch
circuit as the host FACP.
