General Information

The MP-12/24 fire alarm control panel provides reliable fire signaling protection for small to medium sized
commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. This control panel functions in accordance with the follow-
ing National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards:

NFPA 72-1993 Local Fire Alarm Systems

NFPA 72-1993 Remote Station Fire Alarm Systems (requires an optional Remote Station Output
Module).

The MP-12/24 control  panels were tested as fire protective signaling system control units under Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., Standard for Safety, Number UL864.

Activation of a compatible two-wire detector or any normally open fire alarm initiating device will sound
audible signaling devices, illuminate an indicating LED at the control panel and operate an optional module.
The optional modules can be used to notify a remote station or initiate a supplementary control function.
