Each relay can be configured to trigger on a specific zone entering fire condition, giving granular control over automated fire response equipment such as door releases, dampers, extract fans, or building management system inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial fire alarm installations where zone-specific automation is required, the MR8 connects to the main panel via a data bus and mounts inside a standard fire alarm enclosure or separately on DIN rail. Each of the eight relays offers both normally-open (N.O) and normally-closed (N.C) contacts on the blue terminal strip visible along the bottom edge of the module, allowing the installer to configure output behaviour to match the connected device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module runs Software version 1.2 as standard and supports zone select switching between Z1-Z8 and Z9-Z16 on MAG12 and MAG16 panels, giving a single module the ability to respond to any eight zones within a sixteen-zone system. The black ABS enclosure measures approximately 150mm wide by 110mm tall, and the screw terminals accept cable cores up to 2.5mm² for power and relay connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach relay is rated for low-voltage fire alarm auxiliary outputs and is not intended for mains switching without an appropriate intermediate relay or contactor. The unit draws power from the fire panel's 24V auxiliary supply and includes status indication via the NO\/NC LED array visible on the front label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_MAGR_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich MAGfire panels is this compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MR8 is compatible with MAG4, MAG8, MAG12 and MAG16 fire alarm control panels from ESP.

For switching mains-powered equipment such as extract fans or HVAC plant, an intermediate contactor or mains-rated relay must be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the zone select switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn MAG12 and MAG16 panels with more than eight zones, the zone select switch on the front label allows the MR8 to respond to either zones 1-8 or zones 9-16.

Normally-closed (N.C) contacts open when the relay activates. The installer configures which behaviour is needed based on the connected equipment — for example, an N.C output is often used for door hold-open magnets that must release on fire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294154809611,"sku":"MAGR","price":60.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/MAGR_d8cdf52b-0bdd-4543-8eb3-188c311eaff2.jpg?v=1714668781","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/magfire-mr8-8-zone-relay-module-for-mag4-8-12-16-fire-panels","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
