ES-200X — intelligent addressable fire alarm control panel with one signaling line circuit, 198-point capacity and a pre-installed IPOTS-COM dual-technology (IP and POTS) central station communicator.
The ES-200X is a direct replacement for the MS-9200UDLS and programs just like Fire•Lite’s other addressable products, yet fits into applications previously served only by conventional panels. Its single SLC (DCL) loop carries up to 198 addressable devices — 99 detectors and 99 modules — meets NFPA Class B and Class A requirements, and runs up to 10,000 ft. (3,000 m) in LiteSpeed mode over twisted, unshielded wire. Four independently programmable NAC output circuits can each be configured Class A or Class B, with selectable strobe synchronization per NAC for System Sensor, Wheelock and Gentex appliances. The panel supports automated activation of the ECC-50/100 Emergency Command Center and the ECC-FFT firefighter telephone option, and is certified for seismic applications when used with the appropriate seismic mounting kit. The ES-200X ships as the main circuit board with display, pre-installed communicator, chassis with transformer, backbox with door, and a plastic bag containing screws, cables and key.

Installation notes
-
Power budget: 2.5 A is the per-circuit maximum. Maximum or total 24 VDC system power shared between all NAC circuits and the ANN-BUS is 2.7 A — four circuits do not give you four times 2.5 A. Add the PWRMOD24 power expander module to increase alarm power output to 6 amps.
-
Dress panel: the ES-200X carton does not list a dress panel (the ES-200XC, ES-200XI and ES-200XP do). Order DP-ES-R separately; TR-CE is the trim ring for semi-flush mounting.
-
Batteries: the cabinet holds a maximum of two 18 AH batteries and the onboard charger covers 7–18 AH. Batteries larger than 18 AH require a CHG-75 or CHG-120F and an external BB-26 or BB-55F enclosure.
-
Seismic installations: use SEISKIT-COMMENC, the seismic kit for the ES-200X Series backbox, which includes a battery bracket for two 7, 12 or 18 AH batteries.
-
Legacy devices: 300 Series devices such as CP300/CP350, SD300(T)/SD350(T), M300, M301, M302, C304 and BG-10LX are not compatible with LiteSpeed polling; if any are on the SLC, polling must be set to standard CLIP protocol.
-
Programming: databases upload and download through the panel USB port, or over ethernet using the IPOTS-COM. Offline programming with FS-Tools requires an ethernet connection.
