The Potter Electric Signal MS-KA/R is an Amseco-series remote accessory for duct smoke detectors. First, it provides a red alarm LED for visual status indication. In addition, it includes a key-operated test/reset switch. As a result, technicians can remotely test and reset the duct smoke detector without opening the duct enclosure.
Potter Electric Signal MS-KA/R compatibility
The MS-KA/R is designed for Amseco ADSD, DSD, and RW Series duct smoke detectors. Furthermore, Hochiki distributes it as a remote accessory for the DH-100-P conventional duct smoke detector. Specifically, the MS-KA/R pairs with one host duct detector at a time. Therefore, multi-zone installations need one MS-KA/R per duct detector.
The key-operated switch prevents unauthorized testing or resetting. As a result, the MS-KA/R suits commercial installations where only facility staff should reset duct detector alarms.

Installation notes
First, mount the MS-KA/R on a standard single-gang electrical backbox at the remote location. Then, run wiring from the host duct detector’s remote terminal block to the MS-KA/R. Follow the host detector’s install instructions for terminal-by-terminal pinout. Furthermore, verify the alarm LED lights when the duct detector senses smoke. Finally, confirm the key-operated test and reset functions act on the host detector.
