MS-9600LS(E)/MS-9600UDLS(E)
Intelligent Addressable FACP
with Optional 2nd Loop
Addressable

General
Fire•Lite’s MS-9600LS(E) and MS-9600UDLS(E) are compact,
cost effective, intelligent addressable FACPs (Fire Alarm Con-
trol 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(E) or
MS-9600UDLSE FACP, offer the latest in fire protection tech-
nology. LiteSpeed™ is a patented technology that polls 10
devices at a time looking for new or different information.
When new information is found at a specific address, the sys-
tem polls that device several times for any new data. This
improvement allows a fully loaded panel with up to 636
devices to report an incident and activate the notification cir-
cuits in under 10 seconds. With this new polling scheme,
devices can be wired on standard twisted, unshielded wire up
to a distance of 10,000 feet per loop. Each Signaling Line Cir-
cuit (SLC) loop supports up to 159 addressable detectors
including photoelectric, photoelectric with heat, beam, ioniza-

tion, photoelectric duct, fixed heat, fixed heat with rate-of-rise,
and fixed high-heat detectors. It also supports up to 159
addressable modules including monitor (two-wire detector,
normally open devices), dual-monitor functions (two monitor
circuits from one module, two addresses used), multimonitor
(multiple monitor circuits from one module, multiple addresses
used), control (for Notification Appliance Circuits), and relay MEMBRANE SWITCH CONTROLS

Wiring Requirements
While shielded wire is not required, it is recommended that all
SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical
interference. Refer to the panel manual for wiring details.
