ACTIVSENSE NC-MC-0-R Intelligent Conventional Manual Call Point
Description
The NC Series Intelligent Conventional Manual Call Point is designed for indoor use with compatible conventional fire panels. Each unit includes a built-in resistor (0, 100, 470, or 560Ω, depending on the model purchased).
All units are supplied with a resettable element – this can be replaced with a breakable element, if required (order number N-MC-FE). See “Replacing the resettable element”.
The series includes the following models.
| Model | Description |
| NC-MC-0-R | Red intelligent conventional manual call point – 0Ω [1] |
| NC-MC-100-R | Red intelligent conventional manual call point – 100Ω |
| NC-MC-470-R | Red intelligent conventional manual call point – 470Ω |
| NC-MC-560-R | Red intelligent conventional manual call point – 560Ω [2] |
| NC-MC-IS-0-R | Red intelligent conventional intrinsically safe manual call point – 0Ω |
[2] Also available in blue (NC-MC-560-U).

Installation
Caution: This product must be installed and maintained by qualified personnel adhering to all local or national installation requirements and any other applicable regulations.
The manual call point can be surface mounted or recess mounted.
For surface mounting, order one of the backboxes shown in the table below.
| Model | Description | Colour |
| N-MC-BB-R | Red backbox | Red |
| N-MC-BB-U | Blue backbox | Blue |
| N-MC-BB-G | Green backbox | Green |
| N-MC-BB-O | Orange backbox | Orange |
| N-MC-BB-W | White backbox | White |
| N-MC-BB-Y | Yellow backbox | Yellow |
For recess mounting, order one of the recess adaptors shown in the table below.
| Model | Description |
| N-MC-AFM-R | Red recess adaptor |
| N-MC-AFMG-R | Red recess adaptor with fork grips |
| N-MC-AFM-G | Green recess adaptor |
Remember to remove the protective dust cover before installation.
Note: The dust cover may also be used to indicate when the unit is not operational (for example, before commissioning, during maintenance, when disabled, etc.)
To surface mount the manual call point:
- Fix the backbox onto the wall using 4 × M4 screws (not supplied) and feed the zone cable through the selected cable knockouts or through the rear of the backbox.
See Figure 1 for the location of the mounting holes. - Connect zone cable and relay cable (if required) to the supplied terminal block, and then plug the terminal block into the PCB connector on the back of the front assembly (see Figure 2).
Use the supplied cable link to test cable continuity during installation.
See “Wiring” below for terminal block connections and zone cable specifications. - Unlock and remove the front cover, and then remove the resettable element.
To unlock the front cover, insert the key and turn it clockwise (two clicks), then pull the cover outwards from the bottom to remove it (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
To remove the resettable element, push the element up, and then pull it out (see Figure 5). - Fix the front assembly to the backbox using the 2 screws supplied with the unit (located in the backbox).
- Replace the resettable element (or add the breakable element, if required), and then replace the front cover (see Figure 6).
Turn the key anticlockwise (two clicks) to lock the cover, and then remove the key.
Finally, test the manual call point (see “Testing”).
Wiring
For optimal system performance, use 0.129 to 3.31 mm² (26 to 12 AWG) twisted-pair cable.
Wire the unit as described below. Observe the indicated polarity.
| Terminal | Description |
| Zi+ | Zone in (+) |
| Zo+ | Zone out (+) |
| Zi– | Zone in (–) |
| Zo– | Zone out (–) |
| COM | Common |
| NC | Normally closed |
| NO | Normally open |
Status LED
Two steady red LEDs on the front of the unit indicate that the manual call point has been activated and is in alarm.
Note: The 0Ω manual call point has no LED indications.
Maintenance and Testing
Maintenance
The unit should be maintained and tested according to local or national requirements and any other applicable regulations. Do not modify internal wiring or circuitry.
Testing
To activate an alarm, push the resettable element or turn the key clockwise (one click). To reset the device, turn the key
anticlockwise (one click). Reset the control panel after testing.
Replacing the resettable element
Replace the resettable element (or add the breakable element) as follows:
- Unlock and remove the front cover as described in “Installation” on page 2.
- Push the element up, and then pull it out (see Figure 5).
- Replace the resettable element (or add the breakable element, if required).
- Replace the front cover.
