Operation is straightforward using the
MX1
’s keypad and four line LCD.
The display provides clear and uncluttered indication of the alarm
location, including the zone and point numbers, and text description of
the zone and point in alarm.
The display allows easy scrolling through the time and date-stamped 99
alarm event buffer.
Current alarms, faults and disabled zones and points can also be
separately recalled and displayed. An internal history log stores the
previous 900 events, and these can also be recalled to the display.
The
MX1
has five general functions:
It monitors fire detectors (smoke detectors, carbon monoxide
detectors, flame detectors, heat detectors, manual call points, etc.).
Note that some detectors may be multi-sensor, i.e., they contain
multiple sensors
– for example a heat sensor, a smoke sensor and a
carbon monoxide sensor. The sensor values are processed
according to the programmed algorithm and determine whether a fire
condition exists.
It activates alarm devices (evacuation systems, sounders, strobes)
and alarm routing equipment (alarm signalling equipment) when a fire
alarm condition is detected.
It displays zone location descriptions and that of an affected device,
and optionally activates zone status indicators.
It monitors and controls ancillary building equipment (fan controls,
relays, door holders, etc.)
It supervises devices, transmission paths (circuits), and internal
functions of the
MX1
to indicate a fault condition should there be a
problem.
The
MX1
operator interface allows an operator to monitor and control the
site-specific components connected to the
MX1
.
Most manual controls and menu functions require Access Level 2 unless
otherwise noted. Access level 2 is entered by opening the outer door of
the
MX1
panel with the 003 key
, or enabling the Remote FBP’s keypad
using the 003 key. Those menu functions that could have an adverse
effect if inappropriately used require Access Level 3. See Page 1-10 for
a description of Access levels.
Multiple
MX1
fire panels along with other compatible panel-link devices,
may be connected together to form a network. For details please refer to
Chapter 9 Networking.
