Gamewell-FCI MCS-COP3 Addressable Multi-Criteria Photo and Carbon Monoxide Detector
MCS-COP3 is an intelligent, addressable smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detector with integral communication to provide point location for alarm communication and selective maintenance.
This detector has point ID capability that enables each detector address to be set with rotary address switches providing exact device locations. The modern design and expanded color options support contemporary aesthetic demands. In addition, each detector is constructed for exceptional installation and maintenance efficiency. MCS-COP3 is an intelligent, multi-criteria detector that incorporates photoelectric and carbon monoxide (CO) detection principles.
MCS-COP3 offers a cost-effective solution meeting both the UL 268 7th edition standard for smoke detection and UL 2075 standard for system-connected life safety carbon monoxide detection.
The dual function of this single device makes it ideal for installations such as hotels, schools and high-rise residential applications that require both smoke and CO detection. Released through the incomplete burning of various fuels, CO is a colorless, odorless and deadly gas that is virtually impossible to detect with the human senses. Because the potential exists for dangerous levels of CO to accumulate in almost any building, legislation mandating the use of CO detection in commercial spaces continues to grow.
MCS-COP3 is recommended for use in conjunction with the B200S series intelligent sounder bases. These bases can generate either a Temp 3 pattern for fire or a Temp 4 pattern for CO alarm indication.
The B200S series bases recognize the System Sensor® synchronization protocol. This enables it to be used as a component of the general evacuation signal — along with other System Sensor horns, horn strobes, and chimes — when connected to a power supply or Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) output capable of generating the System Sensor synchronization pulses.

FAQ
Is a base included?
No. The base is ordered separately. Gamewell-FCI recommends the B200S series sounder bases, which sound Temporal 3 for fire and Temporal 4 for CO; B501-WHITE, B300-6, B224BI-WH and B224RB-WH bases are also offered.
Which panels support it?
It uses the Velociti protocol: E3 Series firmware 4.10 or higher, S3 Series firmware 1.21 or higher and NGA firmware 4.01 or higher.
How many SLC addresses does it use?
One address on the SLC for both smoke and CO detection, set with rotary address switches.
How long does the CO cell last?
The CO cell is rated for 10 years and gives an end-of-life warning and fault.
