From production number 060608 and SW version 01.02.01
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector performs the task of
taking continuous air samples via one or two sampling pipe networks from a monitored area and feeding the samples to one
or two smoke sensors.
The AMX5000 consists of the detector housing and one or two
sampling pipe tube networks. The sampling pipes have several
sampling holes whose size is such that each hole draws the
same amount of air. The sampling pipes may be I-, U-, T-, H-,
or E-shaped. The sampling pipes are usually symmetrically designed. Asymmetrical sampling pipe tube networkscan also be
implemented using the “HELIOS PipeCalc” calculation software.

Integrated in the detector housing is a high-speed fan which, in
conjunction with the sampling pipe, ensures uninterrupted air
supply to the detector housing. Airflow monitoring detects any
block-ages or breaks in each of the sampling pipe networks.
The AMX5000 is available in four versions:
•AMX5001for 1 sampling tube, and 1 smoke sensor
•AMX5002for 2 sampling tubes, and 2 smoke sensors
•AMX5101for 1 sampling tub
•AMX5102for 2 sampling tubes, and 2 smoke sensors
The AMX5000 can be equipped with the following smoke sensor types:
•OMX5005Sensitivity range 0.5%/m to 10%/m
•OMX5010Sensitivity range 0.1%/m to 10%/m
•OMX5020Sensitivity range 0.02%/m to 10%/m
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector has four slots for expansion modules. The following modules can be added:
•KMX5005 RK Relay Interface Module with 5 relays (max.
•MMX5005Memory module
•OtherIn preparation (interface module)
The AMX5000 can be linked to a higher level FACP by means
of relays.
The AMX5000 can be connected to a fire alarm system by
using potential free contacts.
Integration in the System FMZ5000 Loop Ap is possible by mo-
dules. Displaying status and control of the AMX device can
thus be performed directly from the FACP.

o
gurable via the HELIOS Config configuration software.
The MMX5005 Memory module serves to record operating data
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector can be used for:
Equipment monitoring:
•
switch cabinets, etc.
Space surveillance:
•
high-rack storage buildings, hollow floors, protection of cultural objects, transformer stations, prison cells, etc.
The AMX5000 is also deployed in areas where conventional
point type detectors are used. The local provisions and regulations must be observed from case to case.
The response behavior of the AMX5000 has been tested in
compliance with EN 54-20, Class A, B and C (or NFPA 72).
When setting up AMX5000 fire alarm systems, the information and specifications in “Technical Descripti-on AMX5000” must be observed and adhered to.

Wiring principle
Examples of and information about wiring are found in
Technical Description AMX5000, FHB 34 (908146),
section 6.
Deploying smoke sensors
Smoke sensors are not fitted when the AMX5000 is delivered.
They are application specific (according to required sensitivity
range), purchased from the manufacturer and installed after
the detector housing is mounted (see Fig. 3).
• The smoke sensors should always be removed
from their protective packaging just before deployment in the detector housing.
• Depending on the situation (e.g. if there is a long
time between mounting and commissioning or if
the environment is very dusty due, for example, to
construction), the smoke sensors should be installed just before commissioning the AMX5000.
• Before installing the smoke sensors, check that
the protective screens against insects are properly
fitted to the air inlet and outlet in the smoke sensor
chambers.
• The smoke sensor chamber must be absolutely
free of dirt and dust. Any waste or other materials
resultingfrom mounting the detector housing must
be removed.
The installation position of the smoke sensors depends on the
particular smoke sensor chamber (I or II). The connectors of
the smoke sensors are oriented toward the outside of the AMX
housing. Incorrect installation positioning is prevented by the
anti-twist rib on the smoke sensor housing.
The smoke sensors are fastened with the two lock clamps in
the AMX housing. The electrical connection to the Main Board
is accomplished with the supplied ribbon cable.
The smoke sensor chamber II on the AMX5001 and AMX5101
(o
nly one smoke sensor) remains open (insect protection
screens and lock clamps are not fitted, air channels
are closed).

ystem limits without “HELIOS PipeCalc”calculation
The system limits apply to planning without the“HELIOS PipeCalc” calculation software. There are two areas with the following meaning:
•Normative system limits compliant to EN 54-20, Class A
to C (or NFPA 72), switch settings A11 to C32;
•Non-Normative system limits,
switch settings W01 to W48.
Normative system limits
Switch settings A11 to C32 have configured values which are
necessary for alarm response sensitivity and airflow monitoring
compliance with EN 54-20 Class A to C (or NFPA 72). The
switch setting designation is deciphered as follows:
•First figure Response class A, b, C compliant with EN
•Second figure System limit 1, 2, 3 (pipe topology);
•Third figure Number of pipe networks 1, 2 on the AMX.
Example: b22Response class b / system limit 2 /
2 pipe networks.
54-20 (or NFPA 72);
Non-normative system limits
Switch settings W01 to W48 contain system limits which fulfill
only
the alarm response sensitivity for EN 54-20 Class A to C
(or NFPA 72) but not
monitoring. Since these are identical to system limits A11 to
C32 concerning pipe topology (pipe network length, number of
sampling holes), switch settings W01 to W48 are also included
in the tables below in section 4.4.4.3. Additional information
about switch settings W01 to W48 concerning number of pipe
networks and airflow monitoring can be found in Technical Description FHB 34 (908142), section 4.4.4.4.
Switch settings W01 to W48 may be used only after
consulting with the manufacturer. The configured values theycontain concerning airflow monitoring are
not
tested inaccordance with EN (or NFPA 72).

Short instruction
Commissioning
When commissioning the AMX5000, it is necessary to perform
an initial reset in order to collect basic data (e.g. connected
sampling pipe, motor data). An initial reset also performs an automatic adjustment of the airflow monitoring on the connected
sampling pipe(s).
If the AMX5000 is operated within the system limits without
“HELIOS PipeCalc” calculation, commissioning with the “Ea-syConfig” method can be carried out directly on the
AMX5000.
For projects in which the “HELIOS PipeCalc” calculation software was used or in which customer-specific adaptations have
to be made in the device configuration, the “HELIOS Config”
configuration software has to be used.
Starting up
Before the AMX5000 is switched on, it is absolutely
necessary that all of the required measures have
been performed (see FHB 34 (908142), section 7.1).
• sampling pipe correctly mounted and connected
to the AMX;
• smoke sensors and expansion modules installed in
the AMX and connected;
• isolation strip on the Lithium battery (MAIN
BOARD) removed.
Sequence and procedure for starting up:
1. Switch on supply voltage (FACP); while the fan accelerates
incrementally to its final speed (takes about 100 s), the next
procedure can be carried out. The system is immediately
armed for alarm.
2. “EasyConfig”: select necessary switch setting for operati-
on according to “System limit table” (e.g. “b2”) see
“Re-programming”.
- or:
“HELIOS Config”: after adapting the configuration (alarm
threshold according to “HELIOS PipeCalc” and other criteria in Tables A and B), select switch setting “X01”, “X02"
or “X03”.
3. Set date and time via MAIN BOARD with “EasyConfig” or
from “HELIOS Config” (adoption by PC).
4. Following a minimum waiting time of 5 min after switching on, an initial reset must be performed (possible only
via MAIN BOARD) see “Initial reset”.
5. The AMX5000 is now ready for operation.

Measurements / commissioning protocol
Carry out the following measurements:
• Measure operating voltage on terminals 1 (+), 2 (-) (if redundant supply, then also terminals 3 & 4) target value = 12.3
to 13.8 VDC (in 12 VDC operation) or 21.6 to 27.6 VDC (in
24 VDC operation).
• Airflow values in switch settings V (see Technical Description
FHB 34 (908142), section 7.6.1)
• The commissioning protocol is like a persona l history of the
AMX5000 and should therefore be filled out conscientiously
and completely and stored in the AMX5000. If required, a
copy can be made and stored in the installation dossier.
