Air Products and Controls MSR-100 Series Offers Advanced Features
Pontiac, Michigan (May 6, 2006)- The MSR-100 Series Advanced Remote Accessories from HVAC and fire/life safety specialist Air Products and Controls Inc. (APC) work with APC duct smoke detectors to indicate problems, perform tests, and alert users to alarm conditions using special features not found on other remote accessory units. APC packages visual indication of detector pilot, trouble, and alarm functions; selectable audible indication of alarm and trouble functions; an exclusive buzzer silence function, and a lamp and buzzer test function in easy to install units.
For convenient, quiet service, a ringback feature exclusive to APC enables the alarm buzzer to be silenced during problem inspection and remedy; a manual switch activates this function. The silenced buzzer will resume sounding upon correction of a problem condition, serving as a reminder to reset the silence switch to the normal operating condition. The optional strobe module continues to work even when in silent mode. A key-operated function enables users to test and reset from a remote location and verify that the detector is properly operating.
For quick installation, a lever-operated “No-Tools” terminal block design eliminates the terminal strip screws and wiring required by similar products. The base unit without strobe fits into a single gang box, unlike traditional remote accessory units that require double gang boxes.
The included decals ensure each unit is clearly and properly labeled according to local code requirements. The unit comes in a choice of stainless, red or white cover plates. APC’s remote accessories can also be paired with standard decora style cover plates to match site décor.
