IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.The MX88 System can be a single controller with keypads for up to Eight zones or two connected controllers and keypads for up to Sixteen zones.

All the set up details for a MX88 are stored in a file called “Project”.

The MX88 can be set up without a PC, using the QuickConfig protocol, via the keypad or touchpanel connected to the Zone 1 keypad port of the MX88. By using QuickConfig, you can set up an eight zone or an expanded 16 zone MX88 system without ever having to hook up a PC.

However, please note that Projects created by QuickConfig cannot be retrieved and/or edited in Universal Dragon.

The MX88 can also be set up and customized using Xantech‟s Universal Dragon Windows® software.

There are two different setup modes in the Universal Dragon:

-The Advanced mode allows customization of system configuration for functions such as zone linking, monitor lockout, unique IR programming by zone, etc.

-The Expanded mode allows programming of systems with more than eight zones using two linked MX88 Controllers.

Each section of this manual will indicate which sections apply to the different programming modes and setups.

In the Expanded mode, the controller for zones 1-8 will be referred to as the PRIMARY CONTROLLER. The controller for zones 9-16 will be referred to as the SECONDARY CONTROLLER.

2.All programming and features of the MX88 directly apply to all models except: Video Distribution and Video Sensing applies to MX88vi models only Ethernet/IP applies to MX88vi or MX88ai
