The board accommodates five initiating zones and supports NFPA Style B for all zones, with optional Style D operation on Zone 3 when used with the CAC-5F accessory. Its design includes two NAC outputs and two programmable relays, providing notification and auxiliary control capabilities. Typical applications include small to mid-size facilities requiring supervised circuits, battery-backed operation, and compatibility with a variety of standard detection devices. Key Features Five-zone configuration: Supports waterflow switches, pull stations, and smoke detectors. Integrated communicator: Combines control panel functions with digital communication on one board. Two NAC outputs: Provides notification appliance support for horns, strobes, and bells. Programmable relays: Offers auxiliary control for system functions and outputs. Battery charging capability: Supports up to 17 Ah batteries with external battery cabinet options. Style B and Style D zoning: Zone 3 can operate in Style D with CAC-5F accessory. Supervised circuitry: Includes low/no battery supervision and power-limited circuits. 24 VDC operation: Supports stable performance within standard fire alarm voltage requirements. The MS-5024 delivers the reliability and precision required for dependable operation in conventional fire alarm control and communication systems.
