Four different monitor modules are available for Fire•Lite Alarm’s
MS-9200 and MS-9600 intelligent fire alarm control panels
to suit a variety of applications.  Monitor modules are used to
supervise a circuit of dry-contact input devices, such as con-
ventional heat detectors and pull stations, or monitor and
power a circuit of two-wire smoke detectors (MMF-302).

MMF-300 (Replaces M300) 

 — The MMF-300 Moni-

tor Module is a standard-sized module (typically mounts to a
4" [101.6 mm] square box) that supervises either a Class A
(Style D) or Class B (Style B) circuit of dry-contact input de-
vices.

MMF-301 (Replaces M301)

 — The MMF-301 is a Min-

iature Monitor Module (a mere 1.3" (33.02 mm) H x 2.75"
(69.85 mm) W x 0.5" (12.70 mm) D) used to supervise a
Class B (Style B) circuit.  Its compact design allows the MMF-
301 to be mounted in a single-gang box behind the device it
is monitoring.

MMF-302 (Replaces M302) 

— The MMF-302 Inter-

face Module is a standard-sized module used to monitor and
supervise compatible two-wire, 24 volt, smoke detectors on
a Class A (Style D) or Class B (Style B) circuit.

MDF-300 (New) 

— The MDF-300 Dual Monitor Module

is a standard-sized module (typically mounts to a 4" [101.6
mm] square box) that supervises two Class B (Style B) cir-
cuits of dry-contact input devices.

• Built-in type identification automatically identifies this de-

vice as a monitor module to the control panel.

• Powered directly by two-wire SLC loop.  No additional

power required.

• High noise (EMF/RFI) immunity.
• SEMS screws with clamping plates for ease of wiring.
• Direct Decade 01 – 99 (MS-9200) and 01-159 (MS-9600)

entry of address.

• LED flashes green during normal operation and latches

on steady red to indicate alarm.

The 

MMF-300 Monitor Module

 is intended for use in intelli-

gent, two-wire systems, where the individual address of each
module is selected using the built-in rotary switches.  It pro-
vides either a two-wire or four-wire Class A or Class B fault-
tolerant Initiating Device Circuit (IDC) for normally-open-con-
tact fire alarm and supervisory devices.  The module has a
panel-controlled LED indicator.  The MMF-300 can be used
to replace M300 modules in existing systems.

MMF-300 Applications

 —  Use to monitor a zone of

four-wire smoke detectors, manual fire alarm pull stations,
waterflow devices, or other normally-open dry-contact alarm
activation devices.  May also be used to monitor normally-
open supervisory devices with special supervisory indica-
tion at the control panel.  Monitored circuit may be wired as
an NFPA Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class D) Initiating
Device Circuit.  A 47K ohm End-of-Line Resistor (provided)

terminates the Style B circuit.  No resistor is required for su-
pervision of the Style D circuit. Maximum IDC resistance is
1,500 ohms.

MMF-300 Operation

 —  Each MMF-300 uses one of

99 (MS-9200) or 159 (MS-9600) available module addresses
on an SLC loop.  It responds to regular polls from the control
panel and reports its type and the status (open/normal/short)
of its Initiating Device Circuit (IDC).  A flashing LED indicates
that the module is in communication with the control panel.
The LED latches steady on alarm (subject to current limita-
tions on the loop).
