10.0 Supported Protocols/Devices
10.1 Synchronous Strobes
The synchronous strobe models that are supported by the MR-2300 panel include Secutron
models MRL-ST and MRA-HS. A separate compatibility list is available for different supported
models.
Strobes can be configures as normal (e.g. not synchronized or any of the above; section 11 on
page 53). Any selection made is system-wide (e.g. whatever is selected applies to all the
circuits in the system, configured as strobes).
10.2 Signal silence 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.
10.2.1 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 should be silenced. If the signal is active again the
panel will activate the horn again.
10.2.2 Silenceable strobes
If the output circuit is configured as Silenceable Strobe, and if the Signal Silence is active 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.
10.3 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
build 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 section 11 on
page 53). 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 will be reported. The
following troubles are reported for the i
3
devices.
Note: Please see the strobes manufacturer’s data for details.
