Models HMS-S and HMS-D intelligent manual firealarm boxes provide the most advanced method of address programming and supervision; combined with sophisticated control-panel communication.
Each HMS-series manual fire-alarm box achieves the state of an ‘intelligent-initiating device’ by incorporating custom microcomputer-chip technology with sophisticated, bi-directional communication capabilities with the FACP.
Models HMS-S and HMS-D are constructed of durable, molded polycarbonate material that is matte finished in red with raised white lettering. The housing accommodates a ‘pull-down’ lever, which ─ when operated ─ locks into position; indicating the manual fire-alarm box has been activated.
The pull down lever remains down / in the ‘locked’ position, until the fire-alarm box is manually reset.
The manual fire alarm box can only be reset by opening the hinged housing cover with an Allen key; followed by closing and locking the cover.
Model HMS-D
Dual-Action Station
Model HMS-S
Single-Action Station
Models HMS-S and HMS-D operate with FireFinder
XLS-series control panels. The microcomputer chip to the manual fire-alarm box has the capacity of storing ─ in memory ─ id entification information; as well as important operating-status data.
Innovative technology from Siemens Industry Inc. ─
Fire Safety also allows all HMS-series intelligent manual fire-alarm boxes to be programmed by using the Programmer / Test Unit (Model DPU). Model DPU is a compact, portable and menu-driven accessory that makes programming and testing of a manual fire-alarm box device faster, easier and more dependable than previous methods.
Model DPU eliminates the need for mechanicaladdressing mechanisms of a device because Model
DPU electronically sets the address of the manual fire-alarm box into its microcomputer chip, nonvolatile memory. Hence, vibration, corrosion and other conditions that can compromise or even deteriorate mechanical-addressing mechanisms are no longer a cause for concern.

─
Models HMS-S and HMS-D are fitted with screw terminals for connection to an addressable circuit, and can be either surface or semi-flush mounted.
The HMS Series manual fire-alarm boxes derive their power, communicate information and receive commands over a single pair of wires.
The HMS Series is compatible on the same circuit with all ‘H’-series detectors, interfaces or addressable, conventional zone modules.
Current Draw (Active or Standby): 1.5mA
