Plug-In / Peripheral Bus Modules
All panels provide provision for installation / use of local peripheral cards to provide additional functions. The
peripherals are connected via an isolated bus interface.
Each panel supports either a plug-in 2-Way Relay card or a plug-in General Routing Interface card (peripheral
bus module).
All panels also support the connection of up to sixteen Mxp-034 4-Way Programmable Sounder Modules

, up
to sixteen Mxp-035 4-Way Programmable Relay Modules and other peripheral bus modules housed in separate
enclosures. All panels except the small enclosure (/S) support the mounting of one peripheral module on the
chassis plate.
Refer to the wiring installation section (
) for details of how to connect the peripheral modules and section
) for details of the network connections.
2.4.1 Routing Interface Card (Plug-In)
Outputs to Routing Equipment
– Clauses 7.9 and 8.9.
Output to Fire Protection Equipment
– Clause 7.10
The Routing Interface Card provides monitored outputs for connection to
Fire Routing Equipment (Item E) and Fault Routing Equipment (Item J)
or to Fire Protection Equipment (Item G) in accordance with EN54-2.
The Mxp-532 Interface
card is fitted to the
base card using 1x M3
screw and 3x plastic
pillars. A metal pillar is
pre-fitted to the base
card. Refer to the
diagram opposite.
All signals and power
