Fire alarm upgrades

Fire-Lite Alarms by Honeywell has 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. The new MS-9200UDLSC and MS-9050UDC (French language versions: MS-9200UDLSC-FR and MS-9050UDC-FR ) panels 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, colour-coded diagnostic lights and removable chassis are new features designed to reduce installation time and service calls. An extensive hardware and software redesign across both fire alarm control panels has created higher-capacity, easier-to-install systems. With fire alarm voice evacuation becoming more prevalent in the Canadian 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-9200UDLSC's 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 virtually any type of wire. The MS-9200UDLSC and MS-9050UDC have earned seismic certification per IBC (International Building Code) requirements for use in "essential facilities" in specific geographic regions that require seismic-certified fire alarm systems.
