Should I keep the resistors on the nac?

42

Yes. Then try a pull

43

Okay I’ll try them, there will be no zone troubles, correct?

44

Do the resistors on the bg 10 need to be touching the wires from the panel? Still having zone troubles

45

Ok

  1. Did you only have a trouble on that zone?
  2. Did it go into alarm?
  3. Disable 1 zone tell you fix the other, the enable and fix 2
46

Like in the picture, just zone trouble lights, pull station does not trigger anything

47

I would suggest keeping the resistors on the panel instead of on the pulls since it looks like there could be a chance that they are not properly connected with the wire nuts.

And once again, you do not need resistors on both the pulls and the panel.

Also, are you sure that you don’t have the zones disabled or something?

48

I’ll check, how does it indicate if the zones are disabled?

49

I’m not sure, but the manual should have that info.

50

The zone will show a trouble. You can enable/disable IDCs with the buttons at the bottom of the board.

51

Not the problem, first the zone disable light is not on and when I held the button it started flashing

52

When it was flashing, you disabled it. What’s the problem?

53

I need to fix the trouble on the zones which are not letting the IDC do its job

54

I just recently tested the system by applying 24vdc from the panel to the pull station and the pull station to the panel with the proper resistors on the panel. The trouble light was gone on the zone but as soon as I turn on the panel, it goes into alarm. Also it is bypassing selective silence and the pull station. I am guessing that I need power to the zone to have no troubles but I do not know how to keep it from activating

55

What do you mean you applied 24vdc from the panel to the pull station? The only connection you need to the pull stations is from the zone terminals to the pull itself, are there any other connections you are making to the pull?

56

No, not anymore. I just saw that as soon as I applied power the trouble went away but the alarms went off. If I take away power, everything is normal but I get trouble on the zone. I have the zone to the pull but the pull will not initiate anything and there is the zone trouble.

57

You seriously need to slow down and learn how and why these electronics work before you blow this panel up. Judging by the persistent troubles, it may be too late. Here is a very simple schematic for a single pull station per zone. These are the only connections that should be made to the zones, nothing should run to or from here to anywhere else.

58

Positive zone terminal to positive on pull, negative,nagative. I appoligize for all of the questions, I am new to this. Then I have an eol on the panel zone terminals, is this correct?

59

Correct.
Remember the old adage, measure twice, cut once. Be absolutely sure you know how you’re wiring something before powering it up, or you run the risk of cooking your panel.
Read and reread the MS-2 manual if you have not done so already.

60

Yes, you either have the resistor on the panel terminals OR on the pull terminals (one or the other)

Have you verified that you don’t have the zone set to be either a verification or supervisory zone? Refer the following sections in the http://firealarmresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Fire-Lite-MS-2-51512.pdf manual, all of the indicated DIP switches in these sections should should be turned off: 3.1.2.3-3.1.2.6 (pages 35-36).
