10.0 Supported Protocols/Devices
10.1 Synchronous Strobes
A separate compatibility list is available for different supported models.
Strobes can be configured as normal (not synchronized or any of the above; see section
11.0 on page 60). Any selection made is system-wide (that is, whatever is selected applies to
all the circuits in the system, configured as strobes).
10.1.1 Signal Silence Action on Strobes
The signal silence action on strobes depends upon the configuration. The following describes
the signal silence action on non-silenceable and silenceable strobes.
10.1.2 Non Silenceable Strobes
If the output zone is configured as Non-Silenceable Strobe and if signal silence is active on the
panel while the strobes are active, the horn will be silenced but the strobe will remain on. If the
signal is activated again, the panel activates the horn again.
10.1.3 Silenceable Strobes
If the output circuit is configured as Silenceable Strobe, and if the SIGNAL SILENCE LED is
flashing on the panel, both the horn and strobe are completely turned off by turning off the
output circuit. Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button again turns them on again.
10.2 System Sensor’s i
3
Devices
The MR-2300 fire control panel supports System Sensor’s i
3
devices. Only the two wire smoke
detectors are supported on the i
3
zone, which are 2W-B and 2WT-B. Model 2WT-B features a
built-in fixed temperature (135F / 57.2C) thermal detector and is capable of sensing a freeze
condition i.e. if the temperature is below 41F / 5 C.
The zones should be programmed to i
3
devices to be considered as i
3
zone (see Chapter
11.0). If the zone is not programmed as i
3
zone and i
3
devices are connected to the zone, it is
simply treated as a regular zone. The panel is capable of detecting multiple troubles; if
different devices have different troubles on the same zone, all troubles are reported. The
following troubles are reported for the i
3
devices.
10.2.1 i
3
Zone Troubles
The following troubles can be reported for a zone configured as i
3
zone:
• Open circuit trouble
Note: Please see the strobes manufacturer’s data for details.
