Fire-Lite MS-9600

Fire Alarm General Discussion

Hi All,

I’m really thinking about taking the plunge and buying my first “proper panel” (I have an ADEMCO/Honeywell Vista all-in-one…I HATE IT).

I have found a nice Fire-Lite MS-9600 that appears to be from the pre-Honeywell Pittway era. I’ve done a little research and they seem to be a nice, semi-expandable addressable system that is pretty flexible for the price point. Am I correct on that assumption?

The panel in question has, according to the seller, been tested to ensure that it is 100% operable. It has also had it programming defaulted. All resistors are in place. Batteries look like they may also be included. Most importantly, the price it right :smiley: .

Lastly, do the NACs on an MS-9600 output FWR or filtered DC? I like my Simplex 4903-9236 and don’t want to fry it, my 4051, my 2901-9838+4903-9101, or my 2901-9833+2903-9101…

Is this a panel worth investing in? I know it’s addressable, but I can acquire compatible initiating devices later. Please let me know!!

Thanks!
