INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

403-0006 Sita Manual Call Point

General Description
The Sita Manual Call Point allows for user activation of the fire alarm system. An
optional clear front cover is available if required (Part No. 25-0083-303). Once
operated the device latches into the alarm position and requires manually resetting
via a special key. The MCP is an addressable unit that attaches to the loop. Digital
communication technology to the control panel is implemented allowing for accurate
data transfer at high transmission speeds. This device is only compatible with the
Sita200plus, Duonet and Quadnet ranges of control panel.

Before Installation
The MCP must be installed in compliance with the control panel installation manual.
The installation must also meet the requirements of any local authority. For maximum
performance the call point should be installed in compliance with
BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.

Spacing

Fike recommends spacing of call points in accordance with BS5839 Pt1 2002. For more specific information
regarding MCP spacing, placement and special applications please refer to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.

Device Installation

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 as well as any
special recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual. All wiring must be installed in
compliance with the recommendations laid out by BS 5839 as well as any special recommendations documented in
2
the control panel installation manual. The cabling used should be of a 2-core 1.5mm screened, fire resistant
type, with the following characteristics:

Max Capacitance Core to Screen ................................................... 180pF / m

Max Capacitance Core to Core....................................................... 100pF / m
Max Inductance............................................................................... 1.0mH / km
Max Resistance Two Core Screened 1.5mm² ................................ 12.1Ω / km

It is to be wired in the form of a screened 2-core loop returning to the control panel. The use of spurs on
this system is not permitted. Cables may be terminated into the connectors, as shown overleaf. If the device is
flush mounted then the loop cabling must be attached to the device via a suitable connection block (not supplied).
Cut off crimp fork terminals, strip ends for desired length and twist conductor strands together neatly as shown
below. Terminate your cables directly into a flying terminal block. If using a metal back box, do not connect the
screen to the back box earth terminal or allow it to come into contact with the metal box

Care should be taken when terminating devices to ensure all cables are correctly sleeved and connections are
secure. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.

E Screen IN and OUT B R

The Loop +ve (positive) IN and the Loop +ve (positive) OUT connections are split within the module. For cable
continuity readings at the commissioning stage they must be temporarily removed and connected through. Please
remember that all high voltage testing must be carried out before the installation of the electronics, otherwise the
electronics will be damaged. Please also note that the E terminal should only be connected to the loop screen and
NOT to the building earth.

Once all testing has been carried out on the cabling and continuity & insulation has been proven,
the MCP can be connected, with each of the three wires from the MCP front being connected to the
corresponding terminal in the backbox according to the wire colour. The MCP front may then be
installed by locating the upper mounting hook into the receiver in the back box and then pushing the
unit gently home. The single fixing screw may then be tightened as required.

NOTE: Before installing the MCP remember to note the serial number of the device (located on the rear of the unit)
on to your drawings or configuration sheets to enable you to prove its location later. The address allocation for the
device is carried out automatically by the control panel whilst in initialisation mode, so addresses do not need to be
set manually. See the system Installation and Operating Instructions for further details.

Reset and Test

The Manual Call Point contains a re-settable element, which latches in position when
operated and does not need to be replaced. Inserting the key as shown and turning it
clockwise until the element clicks back into place will reset the unit. Testing the Call Point
may be carried out either by pressing the element or by using the key in the same
manner as for resetting but without having pressed the element
