Networking allows
MX1
fire panels to share:
(i)
Alarm information for display and control of alarms on the LCD.
Alarms on one
MX1
can be displayed at other
MX1
s and Colour
Graphics displays. Alarms can be silenced, reset and disabled
from the
MX1
s and Colour Graphics displays.
(ii)
Output logic status, allowing status and controls generated by the
output logic at one
MX1
to be used by the output logic at another
MX1
, e.g., for extended AS 1668 Fan Controls.
(iii)
MAF Status, so that one
MX1
can be a main brigade display and
signalling point for a number of
MX1
panels on the site.
(iv)
Event Information for status monitoring and network event printing.
An
MX1
may be programmed to perform system wide event
printing and event history, or from just selected panels.
(v)
Control for activating, disabling and silencing the Alarm Devices
on remote
MX1
s as a result of alarms or operator controls on the
local
MX1
.
Network Zone/Point functions include:
(i)
Recall the status of a specific zone or point on a remote
MX1
.
(ii)
Search for zones or points of a specific condition on remote
MX1
s.
(iii)
Send reset, disable, alarm test, fault test, abort test, and operate
test commands on a single zone or range of zones or points to a
remote
MX1
.
