MS-25(E) Rev 2
Addressable FACP
With Built-in Communicator
Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels

General
The Fire•Lite MS-25(E) is a 25 point addressable Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP) with built-in Digital Alarm Communicator
Transmitter (DACT). This control panel supports up to 25
addressable devices in any combination of detectors and modules. With simple programming, operation on standard wire,
and features such as drift compensation and maintenance
alert, the MS-25(E) is a preferred alternative to conventional
control panels in both new and retrofit applications.
The JumpStart® (or auto-learn) feature and easy-to-set codewheel addressing of Honeywell Fire Systems (HFS) or equivalent Fire•Lite detectors and modules enable the system to be
configured for fire protection without a programming utility. The
default programming can be modified using the panels embedded web server.

The integral DACT transmits system status (alarms, troubles,
supervisories, etc.) to a remote monitoring location via the
public switched telephone network. Reporting formats are contact ID, SIA 8 or SIA 20.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the term MS-25 is used in
this data sheet to refer to the MS-25 and the MS-25E. For
details on the Canadian version, see DF-60704.

Features
• SBUS supports two ANN-80 Remote Annunciators
• JumpStart® auto-learn feature reduces installation time
and makes programming easy.
• Built-in digital communicator.
• IP communicator compatible
• Two programmable Style Y (Class B) notification appliance
circuits (NACs).
• Selectable strobe synchronization for System Sensor®,
Gentex®, Wheelock® or AMSECO devices.
• Two programmable Form-C relays and one Form-C trouble
relay.
• Automatic detector sensitivity testing (NFPA 72 compliant).
• Point status eliminates calibrated smoke test requirements
for NFPA 72.
• Drift compensation.
• Alarm verification per zone of detectors.
• Walk-test.
• Detectors and modules are code-wheel addressed for
faster installation time.
• Maintenance alert region.
• Uses standard wire (unshielded or twisted pair).
• Central Station reporting up to five zones.
• Custom programming performed through the control
panel’s built-in browser; no programming software is
required.

SLC Communication
• Single addressable SLC loop which meets NFPA Style 4
(Class B) requirements.
• 25 addressable device capacity (any combination of
addressable detectors and modules).
• Compatible with Honeywell Fire Systems (HFS) or equivalent Fire•Lite detectors and modules.

Notification Appliance Circuits (NACS)
• Two independently programmable output circuits. Circuits
can be configured for the following outputs:
– Style Y (Class B).
– Door Holder Service (cannot be used for notification
appliances).
– Aux Power Source (cannot be used for notification appliances).
• Silence Inhibit and Auto-silence timer options.
• Continuous or Temporal code.
• Selectable strobe synchronization per NAC.
• Up to 2.0 A total output power, 1.0 A for auxiliary power and
door holder. Each circuit can source up to the total system
current 2.0 A.
