Additional Features
There is an optional main fire alarm panel display DSPL-2440 9 event, 24 line graphical display narrow board
The BBX-FXMNS enclosure is for the Integrated Fire and Audio consisting of a backbox, door and middle chassis.
Part of this enclosure is the vertical mount telephone QMT-5302NV and the vertical mount paging microphone
QMP-5101NV.
The ANC-5000 Audio Network Controller module includes ARCnet and an ethernet port. ARCnet reduces the wiring
for audio and telephone to the ARCnet only or fiber optics (if used).
The QBC-5000N charger provides a dual voltage transformer for audio.
The RAXN-LCDG is a graphical display remote annunciator.
The FleX-Net™ is compatible with Coptir, Pinnacle, Acclimate and 4-20mA devices.
Configuration options are provided for grouping inputs.
Panel supports previous, current and next configuration. Configuration automatically reverts back to previous or
moves to future configuration through front-panel menu.
OPEN Graphic Navigator Softw are Package
allows 3D graphic display of premises and devices. Use the
ethernet port on the main board to connect to OPEN graphics software.
Boolean logic functions are now available within the configuration software.
uBoot Based BootLoader program (inherent in the configuration) provides leading technology that allows a choice
of multiple configuration files or firmware revisions to support site-specific requirements.
The FleXBoot™
shell offers UNIX style commands for directory listing, log download, diagnostic probing and
system tuning and optimization.
Document Conventions
Circuits and Zones
The term
circuits
refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay.
The term
zone
is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit.
Often the terms
zone
and
circuit
are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
On the FleX-Net™, circuits can be hardwired inputs and outputs or addressable inputs and outputs. Both hardwired
inputs and outputs, and addressable inputs and outputs may be grouped together to form logical zones.
Wiring Styles
Initiating circuits
are configured by default as Class B
.
They may be configured as Class A as described in
System
Configuration
. This operation uses odd and even pairs of two-wire Class B circuits to make one four-wire
Class A circuit, thus cutting in half the number of available initiating circuits.
Indicating circuits (NACs)
may be individually wired as Class A or Class B without affecting the number of
circuits available.
Addressable Loops may be configured system wide as Class B (Style 4) or Class A (Style 6). With the addition of
isolators, a Class A (Style 6) will become a Class X (Style 7).
