The MS900 must be mounted in an area where
there is a clear, unobstructed path to the environ-
ment where the Transmitting PASS (man-down-
alarm) or SuperCELL (man-down alarm) may be
used. A typical location for the MS900 would be
near an unobstructed office window or mounted
just outside an office.
The MS900 should also be located as
far away as possible from other radio
equipment antennas to minimize any interfer-
ence. This includes cell phone boosters, wifi, and
other 2-way radio equipment antennas. It is also
recommended to keep the MS900 a minimum of
six inches away from metal surfaces.
The power consumption of the MS900 is low -
typically 100 mA at +12 VDC.
A System Check of the MS900 can be done
by viewing the Receive LED located on the bot-
tom surface of the MS900. When a SuperCELL
or TPASS is turned On, Off, or by activating the
Alarm, the radio signal will cause the Red Receive
LED to flash several times - indicating signals are
successfully being received by the MS900.
Once the MS900 has been prepared forAC pow-
er, theunitmaybepluggedin.ACpowerconnector
is a screw less Terminal rated for solid or stranded
wire from 14-22AWG. Wire should be stripped at
a 1/2”. Wires should be inserted by using a small
screwdriver to depress the lever and then insert-
ing the wire.
When the unit is plugged in to AC Power, the
AC Power Indicator glows (or flashes) Green -
indicating the system has AC Power and is ready
for operation. With loss of power, the AC Power
Indicator glows (or flashes) Red - indicating the
Backup-Battery System has been automatically
activated, keeping the MS900 ON and ready for
operation. POWER INDICATOR LED
• Green Steady Glow: AC Power and battery is
fully charged.
• Red/Green Alternate Flashing: Battery fault
detected - open or shorted battery.
• Red Steady Glow: Running on battery backup
• Red Flashing: Running on Low Battery.
RECEIVE LED
• Red Flashing: when MS900 is receiving a
triggered message or Reset Acknowledgment.
IMPORTANT:
Always test MS900 and man-down alarms in
area of planned use prior to implementation.

Additional Notes:
• Except for the battery, all parts of the MS900 are attached to the PCB.
• Connect the AC Power cable to the Line, Neutral, and Ground positions.
• When setting case lid in place, make sure the light siren cable is NOT pinched.
To seal from intrusion of contaminants, secure the case lid by tightening all four (4) lid
bolts until snug.
• Once Installation and Field Testing is complete, the MS900 is ready for use.
