sheets (document numbers): SD300/SD300T (DF-51320),
CP300 (DF-51311), MS-9200 Addressable Modules (DF-
51339), and BG-10LX (DF-51366).
COMPATIBLE ANNUNCIATORS
LCD-40 Series: 40-character, backlit LCD-type fire an-
nunciators capable of displaying English-language text
(requires one DIM-485 per MS-9200 panel to interface
with up to 32 LCD-40 annunciators).
AFM/AFM-X Series: LED-type fire annunciators ca-
pable of providing up to 56 software zones of annuncia-
tion. Available in increments of 16 or 32 with expandable
(AFM-X Series) and non-expandable (AFM Series) con-
figurations to meet a variety of applications.

following data sheets (document numbers): LCD-40 (DF-
51474), AFM/AFM-X (DF-51465), and LDM Series (DF-
51384).
FIELD-PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Off-Line Programming: Create entire program in your
office using a Windows®-based PC computer (order pro-
gramming kit PK-9200W separately). Upload/Download
system programming locally to the MS-9200 in less than
one minute.
Auto-Programming: Command the MS-9200 to pro-
gram itself (takes less than 30 seconds). In the Auto-
Program mode, the MS-9200 scans for all possible de-
vices at all addresses, stores the device types, and ad-
dresses found, and then loads default values for all op-
tions (General Alarm). It also checks for two or more
devices set to the same address.
On-Line Edit: While still providing fire protection, the
MS-9200 may be programmed from the front panel. Sim-
ple menu trees displayed on the LCD allow the trained
user to perform all functions without referring back to the
programming manual.
English Label Library: Quickly select labels from a
standard library of more than 50 adjectives/nouns, such
as FLR 3 HALLWAY, or enter custom labels letter-by-
letter. Use recall function to repeat previously used label.
Program Check: Automatically catch common errors,
such as relays not linked to any zone or point.
MAINTENANCE ALERT
The MS-9200 continually monitors each smoke detector
and responds to a reading of 80% of the detectors alarm
threshold. If the detector continually reports an 80% thresh-
old reading (8/10 of what is required to be an alarm condi-
tion) for 24 hours, a trouble condition is created. This
reduces the risk of false alarms due to dust and dirt by
alerting a trouble (maintenance) condition rather than initi-
ating a false alarm.
AUTOMATIC TEST OPERATION
The MS-9200 performs an automatic test of each detector
every 2 hours. Failure to meet the test limits causes an
AUTO TEST FAIL trouble type. System Reset clears this
trouble.
NFPA STANDARDS
The MS-9200 complies with the following NFPA 72-1993
Edition, Fire Alarm Systems:
LOCAL (Automatic, Manual, Waterflow, and Sprinkler
Supervisory).
