Introduction

This document provides information for the successful installation and operation of the MR-
401 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).

2.1

The MR-401 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel

Secutron’s MR-401 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel provides the following:

MGC Protocol with up to three addressable (SLC) loops with a maximum of 720 MGC 
devices (MIX-4000 series), 240 per loop.

Compatible with MGC devices (MIX-4000).

Compatible with conventional detectors using MGC MIX-4042 Conventional Zone 
module, refer to document LT-1023 for compatible detectors.

Four Power Limited Class B, Class A NAC circuits.

NAC circuits may be configured as silenceable signal, non-silenceable signal, 
silenceable strobes, non-silenceable strobes, or relay output. The audible signal may be 
Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time. 

Supports sync strobe protocols from major manufacturers.

Software configuration.

Two-stage, alarm verification, and positive alarm sequence operations.

Configurable Signal Silence Inhibit, Auto Signal Silence, Two-Stage Operation, and One-
Man Walk Test.

Subsequent Alarm, Supervisory, Monitor and Trouble operation.

Relay Contacts for Common Alarm, Common Supervisory and Common Trouble all non-
disconnectable and Auxiliary Alarm Relay (disconnectable).

Built-in Dialer Module.

2.1.1

Optional Items

Supports up to 2 RAX-1048TZDS Display Adder Modules.

Semi-flush or surface mountable enclosures for retrofits and new installations.

Note:

Installation of the MR-401 Fire Alarm Control panel should be in accordance with 
National Electrical Code NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. Final acceptance subject to the 
Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
