The VIGILANT 

MX1

 is control and indicating equipment (c.i.e.) that forms 

the central part of a fire detection and alarm system using 

MX

 analogue 

addressable detectors.   
 
It complies with the requirements of

 

AS 7240.2-2004 

“Fire Detection and 

Alarm Systems” and AS 4428.3-2010 “Fire Brigade Panel”.

 

 
Up to 250 

MX

 devices (detectors and addressable input/ output modules) 

may be connected to the in-built detection loop.  Some devices support 
multiple inputs and outputs which can be monitored and controlled 
separately.  Additional loops of up to 250

 MX

 devices may be added to 

the 

MX1

 by fitting 

MX

 Loop Cards.  The 

MX

 DIGITAL communication 

protocol used on the detection loops provides high reliability and fault 
tolerance.  The 

MX1

 uses software algorithms to evaluate the analogue 

values returned from the detectors. 
 

MX

 FASTLOGIC is a fuzzy logic based algorithm applied to photoelectric 

smoke detectors.  It is designed to discriminate between the smoke and 
temperature patterns of real fires and the typical causes of nuisance 
alarms. It supports three risk levels; High, Medium and Low. 
 
SMARTSENSE is a field-proven, reliable detection algorithm, reducing 
nuisance alarms, compensating for ambient conditions, with a wide range 
of programmable sensitivity settings.

  

 
Both algorithms provide: 

  Detector pre-alarm sensing for early warning of a potential alarm. 

  Compensation for soiling and changes in ambient conditions. 

 

Logging of “detector dirty alert” when compensation limits are about to 
be exceeded, to allow service to be scheduled. 

 
The 

MX1

 is supplied in a compact metal cabinet with an integrated 

Fire Brigade Panel and operator keypad and display. Space is provided 
for optional Zone Status indicators and AS 1668 fan controls with 
indications.  

The cabinet’s protective door includes a window to allow all 

indications to be seen, but physically protects the front panel and other 
optional controls. A physical 003 key is required to open the protective 
door and operate the panel.  
 
One Remote Fire Brigade Panel (RFBP) may be connected to the 

MX1

 

panel to provide a remote operator interface or fire brigade attendance 
point.  This operates independently of the 

MX1

 

panel’s user interface, but 

on the same internal data 

– zone and point status, buzzer on/off, 

silence/mute, etc.  Note, the Remote FBP can be configured so that its 
keyboard cannot be used in alarm conditions (for example, when it is 
installed for non-fire brigade use and it is necessary to avoid the Remote 
FBP user interfering with the fire brigade’s alarm display).  The Remote 
FBP does not include any zone LED displays as standard.
