Important notes on MX8000-3EX
The MX8000-3EX Receiver is only intended to operate on 220-240VAC, 50/60 Hz
The clock synchronization may be needed to be set to match the power line frequency. It may be set to 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or
Internal. Internal may need to be used if the power line frequency in the installation site is not stable. Frequency instability
will cause drifting of the time and date.
See Section 5.3.4.1 and Table 5-9 for information on setting the synchronization method.
Depending on the country of installation, the phone line characteristics of the MX8000 may need to be adjusted. This may be
done by setting the Country Code, as shown in Section 5.4.2.3. The choices available are:
Brazil
Australia
CTR21
USA
South Korea
South Africa
Poland
Philippines
Bulgaria

1.3 Formats Compatible with the MX8000–3EX
The MX8000–3EX receiver is compatible with all ADEMCO communicators.
Table 1–2 shows the formats that the MX8000–3EX receiver can decode and the handshake frequency
groups that accommodate that format (see Section 5.4 for line device programming). Each line device can
decode every format listed below. Setting the handshake order only prioritizes the type of communication
done by each line device. Section 6 of this manual describes the formats in greater detail.
Important Note: When selecting a reporting format and using an automation computer, it is essential that
you check Table 8–2: Reporting Formats and Automation Protocol Support to verify that the reporting format
selected is supported by the automation protocol that will be used.

1.5 How to Use this Manual
This manual contains information on how to install, operate and program the MX8000–3EX receiver. We
strongly suggest that the manual be reviewed in its entirety to become familiar with procedures and
parameters of the product. Once you are familiar with the product, the manual can be used as a reference
document.
This manual uses the following conventions:
• A small graphic of each touchpad button is used to represent which touchpad key is to be pressed for a
given operation. For example, an up-arrow would be shown as:
• VFD display This represents messages that appear on the VFD (display).
• 2225HzThis typeface represents an editable field that appears on the VFD (display).
• Pages of the manual are numbered by section. For example, a page numbered as “5-1” is Page 1 of Section
5.
• When this manual refers to default settings, it means programmable options set at the factory. Any
programming after the receiver is powered up will change these setting.

1.8 General Recommendations, Notes, and Limitations
The following listing contains items that it is helpful to be aware of:
• We recommend using the ADEMCO 8000 automation protocol so that you have access to the full system
capabilities.
• Do not mix formats containing the same number of reporting characters on the same line. For example,
do not have panels using 3+2 and 4+1 or 4+2 and 4+1 w/checksum reporting on the same line. If the
formats are mixed, the MX8000–3EX will not correctly determine the reporting formats being used and
incorrect messages will result.
• The receiver must be reset before the automation output will be correct any time the automation protocol
is changed or defined.
• When replacing a 685 or CP-220 with an MX8000–3EX, make certain that the ADEMCO Auto Options
for each line match what was set in the 685 or CP-220. The following chart is provided as an aid in
setting these options when converting from a 685.

The MX8000–3EX is designed to allow hot swapping (swapping with power applied) line cards in the event
of a line card failure. To hot swap a line card, observe the following procedure:
Note: When hot swapping line cards, only remove and replace one card at a time to avoid hanging up the
system.
1. While holding the front plate, unscrew the two front plate retaining screws located on the front of the
panel. (See Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
2. Open the MX8000–3EX's front panel by pulling the left side of the front plate slightly forward and then
to the left to remove it from the receiver.
3. Locate the Line Card that you wish to remove.
4. Unplug the telephone line(s). (See Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7.)
3–4
Section 3 – Installation
5. From the front side of the receiver pull the line card straight back. This will pull the card free from the
connector. A message similar to the following will be printed on the MX8000–3EX printer.
6. When the card is free, slide it carefully out of the receiver.
7. Carefully slide the replacement card into its guides (both top and bottom) until it fits into its connector
at the back of the receiver. Gently push the card as far into the connector as you can. The card is now in
place.
8. Connect telephone line(s). (See Section 3.9 for telephone line installation.) In approximately 60-90
seconds the new line card will be restored into the system with the line card LEDs working normally and
a message similar to the following will be printed on the MX8000–3EX printer.
9. If you need to hot swap and additional card, repeat steps 1 through 9.
10. Close the MX8000–3EX 's front panel and tighten the front plate retaining screws to hold the front plate
in place.
Note: If a lock up occurs, reboot the system by removing primary power and reapplying it to clear the
condition.
3.7 Line Card Installation
Caution:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and damage to the receiver, follow these steps in the order
they are listed here.
1. While holding the front plate, unscrew the two front plate retaining screws located on the front of the
panel. (See Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
2. Open the MX8000–3EX's front panel by pulling the left side of the front plate slightly forward and then
to the left to remove it from the receiver.
3. When the front panel is removed, you will see that there are 12 slots for line cards. The receiver
recognizes each slot by number 1 through 12 (slot one is closest to the keypad and display). It is not
necessary to put line cards in numbered order because the receiver continually polls each slot to see if
existing line cards are functioning and if it is still in its slot. The receiver also looks to see if a new line
card has been added. Figure 3–6 shows where each line card should be placed.

8. Close the MX8000–3EX's front panel and tighten the front plate retaining screws to hold the front plate
in place. If you are simply replacing a line card with another card of the same type and are using the
same format settings, your installation is now complete. If not continue to the next step.
9. Enter programming mode to select the appropriate handshake configuration. (Go to Section 5.4 for
programming procedure.)
3.8 Removing Line Cards
If you need to remove a card:
1. If you will not be replacing the line card, enter the programming mode to clear the line card from the
system. (See Section 5.4 for programming procedure.)
2. While holding the front plate, unscrew the two front plate retaining screws located on the front of the
panel. (See Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
3. Open the MX8000–3EX's front panel by pulling the left side of the front plate slightly forward and then
to the left to remove it from the receiver.
4. With the front panel removed, you will see that there are 12 slots for line cards.
5. Locate the Line Card that you wish to remove.
6. Unplug the telephone line(s). (See Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7.)
7. From the front side of the receiver pull the line card straight back. This will pull the card free from the

3.10.2 Com Ports 1 and 2
Com Ports 1 and 2 are serial communication ports that (through a null modem cable) can be used to
communicate to other serial communication devices. Com Port 1 is the only serial communications port that
can be used with the automation computer (see Section 3.13). A standard null modem cable can be used to
connect Com Port 1 or 2 to another serial device such as a printer or a PC. Figure 3–14 and Figure 3–15
show the pin-outs for a null modem cable. See Section 5.3.2.8 to configure the Com Port 1 and Com Port 2.
Note: Com Port 1 and 2 are for ancillary use only.
