Secutron's MR-2300 SERIES BUILT-IN UDACT Digital Communicator described in this manual is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (ULI) for use in slave application in conjunction with a Listed Fire Alarm Control Panel under Standard 864 (Control Units for Fire Protective Signalling Systems).
Introduction Introduction Secutron's MR-2300 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based fire panel. The MR- 2300 provides a maximum of 12 supervised Class B or A (Style B or D) Initiating circuits, and maximum four supervised Class B or A (Style Y or Z) indicating circuits. All circuits are supervised for opens and ground faults, and indicating circuits are supervised for shorts.
MR-2300 Series LED Version Installation and Operation Manual Conventions Circuits Refers to an actual electrical interface for Initiating (Detection) and Indicating (Signal) or Relays. Zone Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit.

MR-2300 Series LED Version Installation and Operation Manual Fire Drill Button The Fire Drill button activates all Non-Disconnected Indicating Circuits, but does not transmit any Alarms via the City Tie, Common Alarm Relay or Auxiliary Alarm Relay. Fire Drill activates the signals in the evacuation code programmed.
Indicators, Controls and Operations When an Initiating Circuit Disconnect pushbutton is returned to the normal state (by pressing it again in order to un- bypass the circuit), the panel checks the state of the circuit. If the circuit is active, the Status Indicator flashes for 10 seconds at the Fast Rate without processing the input.

MR-2300 Series LED Version Installation and Operation Manual Water Flow Alarm (Water flow Sensors) Water Flow Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms except that any indicating circuits programmed to these circuits (all are by default) are Non-Silenceable. Also, if Water Flow Retard Operation is enabled, these circuits are sampled every one second.
Indicators, Controls and Operations condition: the configured Evacuation Code (default is Temporal Code) during Single-Stage Alarm or Two-Stage General Alarm, or the Alert Code during the alert (first) stage of a two-stage alarm. Silenceable Strobe Silenceable strobes will be silenced when the “signal silence” key is pressed. For synchronous strobes see supported protocol/devices section.
MR-2300 Series LED Version Installation and Operation Manual Single Stage Operation In a single stage system all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include any of the following: Non-Verified Alarm, Verified Alarm, Sprinkler Alarm, Water flow Alarm, and General Alarm Circuits. If any of these alarm inputs occur when the panel is not already in alarm, the following occurs: •...
