MS-9600LS Series Manual — P/N 52646:B2 2/12/2010 13
Section 1: Product Description
The MS-9600LS and MS-9600UDLS are compact, cost effective, intelligent addressable FACPs
(Fire Alarm Control Panels) with an extensive list of powerful features. The combination of
Fire•Lite’s newer series devices and legacy 300 Series devices, along with the MS-9600LS or MS-
9600UDLS FACP, offer the latest in fire protection technology. The FLPS-7 power supply is a sep-
arate board while all other electronics are contained on a single main circuit board. Both boards are
mounted to a chassis and housed in a metal cabinet, providing a complete fire control system for
most applications. Optional modules, which plug into the main circuit board, are available for spe-
cial functions. Available accessories include LED, graphic and LCD annunciators, reverse polar-
ity/city box transmitter, digital alarm communicator/transmitter, SLC expansion module, local and
remote upload/download software and remote power expansion.
The MS-9600UDLS includes a factory installed DACT-UD2 Digital Alarm Communicator Trans-
mitter. Refer to “DACT-UD2 Installation” on page 52 and to the DACT-UD2 Manual Document
#53037, which is supplied with the FACP, for DACT wiring and programming information. The
DACT transmits system status (alarm, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the public
switched telephone network. It also allows remote programming or interrogation of the control
panel using the PS-Tools Upload/Download utility via the public switched telephone network.
Local programming and interrogation is also possible for the MS-9600UDLS using the PS-Tools
and the USB port J4 on the DACT-UD2. The MS-9600LS can be programmed and interrogated
locally using the serial port at TB7. Any personal computer with Windows® XP or greater and
compatible modem with a speed of 2400 baud or faster and PS-Tools software may serve as a Ser-
vice Terminal. This allows download of the entire program or upload of the entire program, history
file, walktest data, current status and system voltages.
The MS-9600LSC is a ULC approved Canadian version of the FACP which offers the same fea-
tures as the MS-9600LS, but is supplied standard with a DP-9692 dress panel. Refer to “Canadian
Option” on page 113 for a full description.
The MS-9600LSE and MS-9600UDLSE offer the same features as the MS-9600LS and MS-
9600UDLS but allow connection to 220/240 VAC input.
