FAQ

Which panels, bases, and wiring gauges are compatible with the Honeywell HM-PTSE-AP?

Answer:
The HM-PTSE-AP operates on Honeywell Morley-IAS addressable fire alarm panels utilizing the Advanced Protocol (AP), including the DXc series (R7, R8, R9) and ZX series panels. It connects via the B501AP plug-in base, accommodating field loop wire gauges up to 2.5 mm².

System integrators must verify compatibility across the following Morley-IAS loop components when deploying the HM-PTSE-AP:

  • Fire Alarm Control Panels: Compatible with Honeywell Morley-IAS addressable panels communicating over Advanced Protocol (AP), specifically the DXc range (firmware revisions R7, R8, and R9) and ZX series control panels. It is both electrically and mechanically backwards-compatible with existing Morley-IAS protocol loops.
  • Base Selection: Designed for installation directly onto the B501AP intelligent detector base, introducing a typical insertion loop resistance of only 20 mΩ (30 mΩ maximum).
  • Addressing: Utilizes physical onboard rotary decade decimal switches (01–99 / 01–159 depending on panel protocol capability) for unambiguous hardware addressing.
  • Terminal Sizing: Screw terminals on the compatible B501AP base support conductor sizes up to 2.5 mm².
