In its simplest form, the user activates the alarm by pulling the handle down, which completes a circuit and locks the handle in the activated position, sending an alarm to the fire alarm control panel. After operation, most fire alarm pull stations must be restored to the ready position using a special tool or key for the panel to be reset.
Fire alarm systems are required in most commercial buildings. They may include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual fire alarm activation devices (pull stations). All components of a fire alarm system are connected to a fire alarm control panel. Fire alarm control panels are usually found in an electrical or panel room.

A fire alarm control panel (FACP), fire alarm control unit (FACU), fire indicator panel (FIP), or simply fire alarm panel is the controlling component of a fire alarm system. The panel receives information from devices designed to detect and report fires, monitors their operational integrity, and provides for automatic control of equipment, and ...
A microchannel plate (MCP) is used to detect single particles (electrons, ions and neutrons [1]) and photons (ultraviolet radiation and X-rays). It is closely related to an electron multiplier , as both intensify single particles or photons by the multiplication of electrons via secondary emission . [ 2 ]
A short piece of fire hose, usually 10 to 20 feet (6.1 m) long, of large diameter, greater than 2.5 inches (64 mm) and as large as 6 inches (150 mm), used to move water from a fire hydrant to the fire engine, when the fire apparatus is parked close to the hydrant. Solid stream A fire-fighting water stream emitted from a smooth-bore nozzle.

The MCP or Modulator Power Plus Controller controller was pretty much the same thing as a MC except there were a few additions. More signals could be generated through the tone generator, and it could also be activated by Federal Signal's FSK (Frequency Shifting Keys) activation tones. Nothing else changed between the MC and the MCP.
