Comprehensive Tyco MX Service Tool Manual for MX4428 Models

Document: LT0273	MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual
	Device Information and Programming

Conversion from detector units to displayed values is by imagining a graph with a series of joined straight lines from (0,0) and passing through each of the above defined points (e.g. 814PH 37 det units = 8%) and extrapolated in a continuing straight line past the highest point if necessary.

For the 814PH detector the displayed values bear little resemblance to the static sensitivity of the detector. They are valid only for the tests done in the SSL smoke room.

3.5	DEVICE INSTALLATION

3.5.1PRECAUTIONS

Observe ESD precautions when installing an MXP responder, or connecting any devices to it. Refer to Product Bulletin PBG0025.

3.5.2MOUNTING

Detector Bases

Detectors attach to a circular, plastic base which has holes for screw mounting to a flat surface, and screw terminals for connecting the loop wiring. There are various different bases available. Most of the bases may only be mounted as just described, but the 814SB sounder base and the 814RB relay base may be mounted as just described, or may themselves be plugged into one of the other bases, to interpose between it and the detector.

Modules

The Modules are normally mounted within the enclosure of the equipment to which they connect, or in a cabinet, junction box or switch box. They may be mounted on plastic standoffs (4 x HW0130 required) on a gearplate or cabinet, or to a face plate that mounts on a double flush or surface box. A hole may be required for the on-board LED. A standard plate with a hole for the LED and three holes for the Service Tool is available (Ancillary Cover M520). This fits a plastic surface box K2142.

The MIM800/801 is smaller than the other modules, and is supplied in a plastic housing which has a lug for screw mounting.

3.5.3ADDRESS & LED BLINK PROGRAMMING

Addresses for MX detectors and modules, and options such as LED blink on poll, are most easily set using the MX Service Tool. These are set by placing the detector onto the Service Tool, or connecting the module to the Service Tool with the supplied interface lead, and programming as per the MX Service Tool Instructions. (Be careful not to leave the pins in the module when removing the lead).

For all input devices, including detectors, the LED turns on steady when in alarm. For output devices (RIM800, etc) the LED turns on when the device is activated (if Global Blink Mode is enabled for the MXP). To enable a device’s LED to blink on poll, the MXP must have Global Blink Mode enabled at the MX4428 panel, and the device must have LED Blink enabled.

For a mixed system, i.e. some devices are to blink on poll and some are not, then turn off blink on those devices that are not to blink using the Service Tool, and enable Global Blink Mode at the MX4428 panel for the MXP.
