Section 1 Introduction
The MX series is a modular, microprocessor-based communications and control center designed to
monitor and control Senstar’s line of FPS fence protection sensors, SAT and SAFT I/O transponders,
MPS-4100 microwaves systems as well as interface to Psycon or other security management systems
(SMS).
The MX series also supports Senstar’s Silver Network based fence sensors FlexPS, FlexZone-4,
Senstar LM100, the UltraWave microwave sensor, and the UltraLink I/O processor.
The MX series includes the MX-7000 (copper wire network) and the MXF-7500 (fiber optic network). Each
MX series includes three models. The 7020 supports a maximum of 20 alarm zones, the 7040 supports
40, and the 7060 supports 60 (see Figure 1). Regardless of which model is selected, the MX series
supports up to 30 Silver devices via 2 of its 4 USB ports.

System Description
Alarms generated by field-mounted sensors are processed and displayed by the MX-7000, while
providing operator control of the security system. The MX-7000 main board is bus-architecture based,
meaning that the microprocessor communicates to peripheral devices using a common set of wires (a
bus) inside the MX-7000. Figure 2 is a block diagram of the MX-7000 internal bus connections. Figure 3
shows the main board layout, followed by Table 1 which includes descriptions of the main boards LEDs.
Figure 4 shows the audio card followed by Table 2
which includes descriptions of the audio card’s
features. Figure 5 shows the power card layout. See Figure 14 for a block diagram of the Silver Network
connections to the MX-7000.
