The codes are usually hub specific so they varied from office to office.
Theres a company that sells Minerva stuff but I can't remember off hand their name - I'll have a look but someone will helpfully beat me to it Im sure!!

Looking at the picture of one off Minerva's site I've come across loads of these and only last week fired a couple of for drills from call points - KAC ones work fine off them.

One query though from the list of features on the site for this panel - what's a Mandarin Feature?

A colour option?

Sorry, I'm being flippant! I haven't got a clue.

Thinking about it and doing a web search, it probably means the panel can be programmable to display mandarin characters for the far east market.

KAC standard MCP's won't work on the 16e - CP520/CP920 from ADT or the supplier that I still can't remember the name of!

They look identical to the KAC addressable call point, in fact they are - if there is a compatibility issue it must be down to the circuitry inside

There is a compatibility issue due to the Minerva being addressable and protocol that it uses.
We use Fulleon MCP's but you have to get them through us due to our protocol.

As already mentioned, ADT addressable systems use there own protocol, the call points are kac call points but with ADT internals.
And the Panel codes are usualy Hub specific.
If you need any help or spares, PM me.
