15 Operating the Engineer’s functions

15.1Engineer’s Zone/Output Configuration Process:

●Various programmable configuration options associated with the zonal inputs and outputs can be enabled/disabled by operating the appropriate DIL switch located within the panel enclosure. These are:

○Configure zones as delayed zones.

○Configure zones for use with I.S. barriers/isolators.

○Configure zones as latching/non-latching fire indication.

○Configure zones to short circuit fire mode.

○Configure outputs to be delayed.

Note: Configure Machinery Space Zones feature is not used on the standard Mx-1000 Series panels.

15.2Zone or Output Configuration

●1. Select a programmable configuration mode:

○Enable the controls on the display, by turning the Access key-switch on the panel display to the “1” position.

○If the panel is in the fire alarm condition, silence the alarms and reset.

○Open the panel door and locate the appropriate DIL switch on the motherboard [Config Non-latch Zones; Config I.S. Zones; Config Delay Zones; Config Delay O/Ps] and move the switch actuator to the ON position.

The CONFIG ENABLED LED on the motherboard will illuminate. The Panel’s System Fault LED will flash and the buzzer will operate. The Select LED on the front of the display will pulse.

Any standing fire or fault alarm indications and associated outputs will be inhibited.

If active, the indications for evacuation, silence buzzer, delay on or disablement indications will clear.

The panel will indicate the current status of the selected programmable configuration mode on the yellow fault/disabled LEDs on the Zones, Sounders, Fire Routing and Fire Protection outputs.

A steady indication denotes that the zone/output is already configured to the selected mode.

No indication denotes that the zone/output has not been configured to the selected mode.

○Close the panel door to allow access to the buttons on the display.

●2. Select a zone or output to be configured:

○On the panel display, press the Select On/Off switch to enable the Select Mode. The Select LED will become steady and the panel buzzer will silence.

A pulsing indication [cursor] will appear either on the Zone 1 Fault/Disabled LED or the Sounder Fault/Disabled LED/Test depending upon which configuration DIL switch is selected.

○Use the Select ↑ and Select↓ buttons to scroll the cursor indication through the selectable options:

For zonal configuration, through all zones sequentially in forward [Select↓] or reverse [Select ↑] sequence starting at zone 1.

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.

In addition to its technological advancements, the BRK electronic Mx-1000 is built with reliability in mind. Its durable construction is meant to endure various conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance over time. This combination of top-tier technology, user-friendly features, and robust design makes the Mx-1000 a trusted choice for those seeking comprehensive safety solutions in smoke and carbon monoxide detection.
