ES-50XC
Intelligent Addressable FACP
with Communicator
Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels
Canadian DF-60954:C
General
The ES-50XC is the latest intelligent addressable fire alarm control
panel (FACP) from Fire•Lite Alarms and is a direct replacement for
the MS-9050UD/LSC. The ES-50XC comes with a pre-installed
commu-nicator and supports up to 50 addressable devices in any
combina-tion of detectors or modules. With an extensive list of
powerful features, the ES-50XC programs just like Fire•Lite’s other
address-able products, yet fits into app lications previously served
only by con-ventional panels.
The pre-installed IPOTS-COM is a dual technology (POTS and IP)
communicator. The POTS transmits system status (alarms, troubles,
AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the public switched telephone
network. The IP communicator’s internet monitoring capability sends
alarm signals over the Internet saving the monthly cost of two dedi-
cated business telephone lines. Although not required, the second-
ary telephone line may be retained providing backup communication
over the public switched telephone line. Optional cellular reporting is
available using the CELL-MODC or CELL-CAB-FLC.
Remote and local programming of the control panel is possible using
the FS-Tools Upload/Download utility. Programming databases can
be uploaded/downloaded via the panel’s USB port (and USB cable)
or via an ethernet connection using the IPOTS-COM communicator.
The USB port also allows for the download or upload of the entire
program, history file, walk-test data, current status and system volt-
ages by means of a USB flash drive.
The power supply and all electronics are contained on a circuit board
supported on a new quick install chassis and housed in a metal cab-
inet. Available accessories include local and remote upload/down-
load software, remote annunciators, and reverse polarity/city box
transmitter (4XTMF).

ADDRESSABLE DEVICE ACCESSORIES
End-of-Line Resistor Assembly (R-47K and R-3.9K): The
47k ohm assembly supervises the MMF-300A, MDF-300A,
MMF-301A, and CMF-300A module circuits. The 3.9k ohm
assembly supervises the MMF-302A module circuit. These
resistors are included with each module.
Power Supervision Relay: Supervises the power to 4-wire smoke
detectors and notification appliances.
Wiring Requirements
While shielded wire is not required, it is recommended that all DCL
wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interfer-
ence. Refer to the panel manual for wiring details.
