• Control (Strobe): This programs the MRI-M500S as a signalling circuit for use with
strobes. They are non-silenceable and will be turned on continuously for both Alert and
Evacuation mode operation. Strobe circuits cannot be silenced until the system is reset
(unless the strobe duration is programmed – see Strobe Duration in section 2.5.2).
• Control (C-Releaser): This programs the MRI-M500S as a continuous releaser which
remains on until an alarm is received on a zone activating the releaser. The releaser is
then turned off after the Delay until the panel is reset. The Delay can be from 0 to 180
seconds.
• Control (M-Releaser): This programs the MRI-M500S as a momentary releaser which is
inactive until an alarm is received on a zone activating the releaser. The releaser is then
not activated until after the Delay time. The releaser is turned off after the Duration time, or
the activating zone and panel are reset. Momentary releasers function normally during an
AC power fail. The Delay can be from 0 to 180 seconds and the Duration can be up to
1800 seconds. 1800 seconds is 30 minutes. A Duration of zero (0) will cause the releaser
to stay on until it is reset.
Function Type Selector
The Function Type Selector is used to display and edit the function of the current input point. The
following function types are available:
• Alarm: This is a generic fire input. Displays **ALARM** in the Alarm List when activated.
• Pull Station: This is a fire input similar to Alarm. The differences are it displays **PULL
STATION** in the Alarm List and may not have a retard time programmed.
• Waterflow: This is a fire input similar to Alarm except that it displays **WATERFLOW** in
the Alarm List. Bell circuits can be made non-silenceable for waterflow type inputs (see
section 2.3 System Window).
• Supervisory: This is used for such inputs as Low Water Pressure, Sprinkler Shut Off
Valve Closed, etc.
• Halt: This causes the related releaser outputs to not operate. The supervisory LED will be
turned on by activation of this type of input.
• Abort: This causes the related releaser outputs to have their associated timers to be
stopped. The timers will start to run again when the input goes back to normal. The
supervisory LED will be turned on by activation of this type of input.
• Monitor: This is used to monitor the action of items such as dampers, door, fans, etc. The
supervisory LED is used. Monitor inputs can operate relays and control modules.
• Non-reporting: This is a non-latching type of input. They can only operate LEDs, function
relays and control modules. The supervisory LED will be operated. Outputs operated by a
Non-reporting input cannot be also operated by another type of input or switch.
• Trouble: This function type is used for various circuit types and for control modules.
Trouble type inputs operate LEDs only, no other outputs are allowed. This function type is
assigned by MHI automatically.
Me
ssage
The Message is located in the middle of the top of the window. This 3 line by 20 character text
message is displayed or printed for all signals originating from the current input point. Circuit types
that use devices have a default message created for them when defined. This message can be
changed.
Use Grp Message
The Use Grp Msg check box is used if the input point is to use a group message. A text entry box
appears when the box is checked. Enter the ID of the group message to be used. Only one ID can
be entered. If a group message is being used, it is displayed in the Message area, but the
message cannot be altered.
