INTRODUCTION
The Model 8700-S and 8700-D Manual Stations are addressable devices containing advanced control
panel communication technology. This technology, which provides two-direction communication with the
control panel, produces an Intelligent Initiating Device. The 8700-S is single action; the 8700-D is double
action.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Figure 1 to locate the opening on the 8700 cover that allows access to the programming holes
which are on the 8700 printed circuit board.
To connect the 8700 to the 8720 Programmer/Tester, insert the plug from the cable
provided with the Programmer/Tester into the opening on the 8700 as shown in
Figure 2. Because 8700 devices are polarity insensitive, the programming plug can be
inserted into the programming holes in either direction.
To prevent potential damage to the Programmer/Tester, DO NOT connect an
8700 to the 8720 Programmer/Tester until at least one wire is removed from
terminals 1 or 2 of the 8700.
Follow the instructions in the 8720 Manual (P/N 315-033260FA) to program the 8700
to the desired address. Record the device address on the label located on the 8700
front Panel. The 8700 can now be installed and wired to the system.
OPERATION
The 8700-S and 8700-D manual stations operate with the Fire Alarm Control
Panel via the addressable device circuit.
The 8700-S and 8700-D manual station housings have a pull down lever that
locks in position after releasing a spring loaded switch. (See Figure 4.) To
indicate the manual station is activated, the pull down lever remains down and
locked until the station is physically reset.
The 8700-D has an additional lever labeled
PUSH IN
which must be operated
first.
Both models are reset by opening the hinged housing cover with an Allen key
and then closing and locking the cover.
