Description

Mircom’s FX-2000 Series Microprocessor Based
Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel is designed
to provide maximum flexibility of analog system
requirements while also providing easy installation
and operation at a cost-effective price.

The FX-2000 base panel consists of one intelligent
analog loop controller capable of supporting 99 Analog
Sensors and 99 Addressable Modules which can be
wired in Class A (Style 6 or 7) or Class B (Style 4). The
system can be expanded by adding additional Analog
Loop Controller Modules. In addition the base panel
supports 16 conventional hardwire adder modules
such as the DM-1008A Initiating Circuit Module, SGM­1004A Indicating Circuit Module and the RM-1008A
Relay Circuit Module. Additional conventional hardwire
adder modules can be added with the ALC-H16 Adder
Hardwire Loop Controller Module, which allows the
system to support an additional 16 conventional adder
modules. The base panel also consists of 4 Class A/B
(Style Z/Y) Indicating Circuits rated at 1.7 Amps each
and either a 6 or 12 Amp Power Supply.

Equipped with a large 4 x 20 Back-lit Alphanumeric
LCD display, the FX-2000 utilizes a simple Menu
system complete with a directional keypad, common
control switches and LEDs, Alarm Queue switches and
LEDs and two congurable input switches.

• Correlatable Switch Inputs which allows for multi­functional outputs

• Four Alarm Queues with selector switches and LEDs
for Alarm, Supervisory, Monitor and Trouble

• Auxiliary relay contacts for Common Alarm, Common
Supervisory and Common Trouble

• RS-232 output for remote system printer or CRT

• Two Event History Logs comprised of a 1000 Alarm

History Log for alarm related events and a 2000 Event
Log for all events

• Front Panel Auto-Congure and/or Computer laptop
Programmable

• Large 4 by 20 character Back-lit LCD Display with user
friendly menu

• Common Control switches and/or indicating LEDs for
System Reset, Signal Silence, Fire Drill, Acknowledge,
General Alarm, Lamp Test, A.C. On, Pre-Alarm and
Ground Fault

• Built-in One Man Walk Test operation

• Congurable for Coded Operation

• Supports an RS-485 interface to the QX-5000 Voice
Evacuation System

• Panel selection for Canadian (ULC) or U.S.A. (UL)

requirements for smoke sensors (sensitivity) via

computer laptop

• Capability to adjust Intelligent Smoke Detector
sensitivity level

Operation

The FX-2000 is eld programmable via the front
panel auto configuration or a laptop computer.
In addition, it allows for a three level password
protection that can be eld dened via a laptop
computer. This unique feature allows the installer
to determine what functions are accessible for each
password level.

The system is also equipped with two Event History
Logs; one for Alarm and the other for full panel
sequence events. The Alarm History Log (1000
events) contains all alarm related functions while the
Event Log (2000 events) provides a full sequence
log of all operations, as well as alarms and troubles.
Both Event History Logs can be used during the One
Man Walk Test operation. This allows the event
logs to be downloaded to a laptop or printer for a
permanent record.

The FX-2000 is a very flexible system which
supports both internal and external annunciation
modules. The internal annunciation modules consist
of the RAX-1048TZDS Programmable Zone LED
Annunciator, the IPS-2424DS Programmable Input
Switches Module, the FDX-008 Fan Damper Module
and the AGD-048 Adder Graphic Driver Module.

All of these modules mount within the panel and
are driven from the main LCD display. The external
annunciator modules include the RAM-1032TZDS
and RAX-1048TZDS LED Remote Annunciators,
the MGD-32 Master Graphic Driver Module, and
the RAX-LCD Remote LCD Shared Display. The
RAX-LCD Remote LCD Shared Display provides the
same features as the main display on the FX-2000.
In addition the RAX-LCD also acts as a driver module
that allows for the RAX-1048TZDS, IPS-2424DS,
FDX-008 and AGD-048 to be connected to it. The
RAX-LCD is required as a driver module any time
any of the above mentioned external annunciator
modules are programmed differently from those
on the main panel or are mounted remote from the
main panel.

In addition to these adder modules, the FX-2000 also
supports the UDACT-300A Digital Communicator
Module and the PR-300 Polarity Reversal/City Tie
Module. The FX-2000 also supports an RS-485
interface to the QX-5000 Emergency Zoned Audio
System.

Input Correlations

All input circuits (addressable or hardwired) can be
congured for non-veried alarm, veried alarm,
waterow, latching/non-latching supervisory, monitor,
trouble only or remote switch inputs. All of the input
conguration types listed above, with the exception
of remote switch can be programmed to operate
relays, signal and strobe circuits for hardwired or
addressable devices. Please refer to the chart below
for correlations. The input circuits congured as non­latching will cause the output circuits congured to
them to follow the state of the input device. This
feature allows for the connection of multiple panels
together for signal operation.

Waterow Yes Yes Yes No

Non-Latching Supervisory Yes Yes Yes No

The Remote Switch input, which must be momentary,
allows any input type device (addressable or
hardwired) to be congured as a common control
functions such as re drill, system reset, signal
silence etc. The remote switches operate in a
momentary mode like the control switches on the FX­2000 main panel. For functions such as re drill, the
remote switch functions in a toggle mode, with one
press for “on” and one press for “off”. The remote
switch is supervised for “stuck in on” positions, where
the switch input is activated (stuck) for more than 30
seconds. If this occurs, a trouble is generated and
clears when the input goes away.
