12 Installation

The control panel must be installed by suitably qualified engineers familiar with the installation of fire detection systems. In addition, it is recommended to refer to the following information:

Current edition of the IEE wiring regulations.

Current edition of BS5839-1 or the installation standards for the relevant country.

Any specific site requirements.

Any field device installation instructions.

Any data sheet provided for the installation of Intrinsically Safe devices.

Notes:

The rating plate, containing essential electrical information is located inside the panel on the inside face of the door.

The mains supply cable should be a minimum of 1mm2 copper protected by a 5A fuse. An appropriate lockable double pole disconnect device shall be provided as part of the building installation. This device must have a minimum contact gap of 3mm.

12.1Electrical Safety

WARNING: Read this section completely before commencing installation.

Prior to commencing installation of the control panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken to prevent damage to the sensitive electronic components on the display board and the control board due to electrostatic discharge. You should discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a convenient earthed object such as an unpainted copper radiator pipe. You should repeat the process at regular intervals during the installation process, especially if

you are required to walk over carpets.

The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to shock or vibration and at least 2 metres away from pager systems or any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating temperature range is 0ºC to 40ºC; maximum humidity is 95%.

12.1.1IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:

DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times, take great care never to short circuit the battery terminals.

WARNING: Batteries are often heavy; take great care when lifting and transporting batteries. For weights above 24 kilos, lifting aids should be used.

DANGER: Do NOT attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the internal workings of the battery. Electrolyte is a highly corrosive substance, and presents significant danger to yourself and to anything else it touches. In case of accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with plenty of clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical attention.

Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are “low maintenance”, requiring no electrolyte top-up or measurement of specific gravity.

WARNING: Only clean the battery case with a cloth that has been soaked or dampened with distilled water. Do not use organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinner, benzene or mineral spirits) or other materials that can substantially weaken the case. Do not use a dry cloth as this will generate static electricity, which in turn may lead to an explosion.

WARNING: Avoid operating temperatures outside the range of -15°C/5°F to +50°C/122°F for float/standby applications.

The recommended normal operating temperature is 20°C.

HIGH TEMPERATURE will reduce battery service life. In extreme cases this

Mx-1000 specifications

The BRK electronic Mx-1000 is an innovative and versatile device designed for both home and industrial use, primarily focusing on smoke and carbon monoxide detection. Its advanced features enhance safety, ensuring peace of mind for users in various environments.

One of the standout features of the Mx-1000 is its dual-sensor technology. It combines both photoelectric and ionization sensors, maximizing its ability to detect different types of smoke. Photoelectric sensors are highly effective at identifying smoldering fires, which are often associated with slow-burning materials. On the other hand, ionization sensors excel at detecting fast-flaming fires. This dual capability ensures comprehensive fire detection, making the Mx-1000 one of the most reliable devices in its category.

Another notable characteristic is its built-in carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer, and the Mx-1000 addresses this threat by providing early warning signals when harmful levels of this gas are detected. The integration of both smoke and carbon monoxide detection in a single unit simplifies safety measures and reduces the number of devices required for home and workplace safety.

The Mx-1000 is equipped with advanced digital technology that enhances its functionality. A state-of-the-art microprocessor evaluates alarm conditions more intelligently, which minimizes the chances of false alarms. This feature is particularly beneficial for households that might experience frequent smoke triggers from cooking or other benign sources.

User-friendliness is a key design aspect of the Mx-1000. It features a clear LED display that indicates the operational status, and a simple test button allows users to verify functionality with ease. The device also features a low-battery indicator, ensuring users are always informed about its operational state.

Installation is straightforward, with options for both wall and ceiling mounting to accommodate various room layouts. The Mx-1000 is designed to appeal to a wide range of customers, from DIY enthusiasts to professional installers.
