How are device addressing and routine testing performed on the HM-MCP-GLASS-AP?

Answer:
Addressing is configured directly using a rotary decade switch located on the rear of the unit. Routine functional testing is completed without breaking the glass by inserting a dedicated test key into the base to drop the glass assembly and trip the micro-switch.

The Honeywell Morley-IAS HM-MCP-GLASS-AP incorporates features tailored for rapid installation, routine testing, and clear local diagnostics:

  • Rotary Decade Switch Addressing: Address configuration is set mechanically using rotary decade switches on the back of the device, eliminating the need for specialized electronic handheld programmers.
  • Non-Destructive Functional Testing: Maintenance staff can insert a specialist test key into the bottom slot of the call point. This lowers the glass element and releases the internal micro-switch to simulate a full alarm condition without breaking the glass.
  • Integral Status LED: The front LED is controlled directly by the fire panel, pulsing red each time the device is polled on the loop and lighting continuously steady red during an active fire alarm condition.
  • Plug & Play Build: Built using a modular terminal and housing design that allows base wiring to be completed prior to snapping the call point electronics into place.
