Velociti® Series
MCS-4-Warn
Description
The latest addition of the Gamewell-FCI’s Advanced
Advanced Multi-Criteria Detector
with Four Unique Sensing Elements
•
Detection product line integrates four complementary
technologies into one device to convey accurate fire
sensing information to locations where fire fighter
response-time is critical. The Gamewell-FCI MCS-4-
Warn is an advanced multi-criteria plug-in detector
that assembles four unique sensing elements into
one unit.
•
Electrochemical cell technology that monitors carbon
monoxide (CO) produced by smoldering fires.
Infrared (IR) sensing that measures ambient light levels
and flame signatures.
•
•
•
Photo-electric smoke detection.
Thermal detection for temperature monitoring.
It is designed to be used with the Gamewell-FCI’s E3
Series® and S3 Series fire alarm control panel only.
•
The integration of continuous monitoring for all four
major elements of a fire allows Gamewell-FCI to cre-
ate a detector that responds more quickly to an
actual fire with the highest immunity to nuisances.
This advanced multi-criteria detector operates at a
high immunity level. It is designed to detect changing
elements, identify nuisance interference and adjust

Features
•
•
•
Applies four separate sensing elements.
Has the highest nuisance alarm immunity.
Employs advanced algorithms that interpret and
respond to multiple inputs.
the sensor accordingly to reduce false alarms.
•
Its on-board intelligence runs advanced algorithms
that dynamically adjust detection parameters to
respond to the inputs from the sensors, enabling

•
Uses six levels of sensitivity.
Incorporates CO sensing for the fastest
response to slow developing, smoldering fires.
Comprises fully integrated infrared sensing to
support a quick fire alarm response.
Provides the automatic drift compensation of a
smoke sensor and a CO cell.
Offers superior EMI protection.
Includes twin LED indicators that provide 360
visibility.
instant response as ambient conditions change.
•

•
The panel automatically changes sensor thresholds,
sensor gain, time, delays, combinations, sampling
rates, and averaging rates. If any sensor fails, the
detector automatically adjusts the sensitivity of the
•
•
remaining sensors and produces a fault condition.
•
The CO cell has an expected lifetime of approxi-
mately six years. It is not a field replaceable compo-
nent. An internal timer signals the control panel to
signal the approach of the CO cell’s end of life. Upon
expiration, you should contact the system supplier to
arrange for replacement of the unit. Detection is not
compromised when the CO cell expires. The algo-
rithms automatically adjusts to properly weigh the
inputs from the photo-electric, heat, and IR sensors.
•
•
Programs LEDs to be panel controlled to blink,
latch-on, or latch-off.
Contains a built-in test switch.
