Installation Input Circuits
2.3 Input Circuits
The MS-2 has two IDCs (Initiating Device Circuits) and the MS-4 has four IDCs. Each circuit is
compatible with System Sensor’s i
3 smoke detectors which generate a maintenance signal when the
detector becomes dirty and a separate supervisory ‘freeze’ signal when ambient temperature falls
below the detector rating. The maximum loop resistance limit for each IDC is 100 ohms. The field
wiring for each zone is supervised for opens, shorts and ground faults (zero impedance to ground).
All conditions are visually and audibly annunciated.
Each circuit is configured for Style B (Class B) operation and will accept I 3 smoke detectors, any
normally-open contact devices as well as conventional 2-wire or 4-wire, 24 VDC smoke detectors.
In addition, Zone 1 (IDC 1) on the MS-2 and Zone 2 (IDC2) on the MS-4 can be programmed as
combination supervisory and waterflow zones. Refer to the Fire•Lite Device Compatibility
Document for a list of compatible devices.
MS-4 Initiating Device Circuits can be converted to Style D (Class A) by installing the optional
Class A Converter module. Refer to “CAC-4 Class A Converter Module (MS-4 only)” on page 25.
