Chapter 2 │General Introduction
Subject
The MX 32 controller is intended for light units that do not require an electrical
cabinet.
The MX 32 measurement and alarm controller can measure 1 or 2 channels
independently. Each channel is linked to one or more sensors installed in the
locations being monitored. The measurement from the sensor is displayed on
the MX 32 controller and compared to the alarm thresholds. In the event that
the measurement exceeds the threshold, the controller activates the relays
which can be used to control external components.
View: Front internal
The MX 32 controller is composed of the following components:
■ A wall-mounted enclosure (ref. A) equipped with a terminal cover (ref. F), a
faceplate (ref. C) and a transparent hinged cover (ref. D) ;
■ a power supply board (analog) (ref. E) ;
■ a display card (microprocessor) (ref. B).

Chapter 3 │ Installation and wiring
Mounting the controller
The MX 32 controller can be installed in any location except for explosive
atmospheres. Ideally, the controller should be located in an area under
surveillance (security office, control room, equipment room, etc.).
The central controller cover opens at a 90° angle to the left. Make sure to
leave adequate space to completely open the cover once the central controller
is mounted.
Figure 5: Dimensions of the controller
The dimensions for the wall-mounting of the enclosure are indicated on the back.

MX 32
Instruction Manual
Wiring
Before installing the controller, cut off the power supply.
Also refer to the Particular Specifications chapter on page 39.
The controller is intended for use in installation areas that meet Class II
overvoltage requirements and Degree 2 pollution requirements.
The electrical connection must be:
■ Performed by a specialist and conform to current regulations in force ;
■ Compliant with NF C 15-100.
Verify the current and the grid power supply (the grid power supply must
correspond to the supply indicated on the controller front plate). The operating
voltage is configured at the factory.
The MX 32 does not have an on/off switch.
Certain power supplies can cause serious or fatal injury. All
installation and wiring should be performed before turning on the
power supply.
Incorrect installation can lead to measurement errors or system
failure, all instructions in this manual must be followed carefully to
guarantee proper system operation.
Ground Connection Protection
The controller must be connected to a functional ground connection.
The ground terminal (yellow) (Figure 4, ref. J) is indicated with the following
symbol: .
The cable used must have a minimum diameter of 1.5 mm² and a maximum
diameter of 2.5 mm².
Refer to the wiring examples beginning on page 11.
Power
The MX 32 must be protected upstream by a differential bipolar circuit
breaker. The response curve must be type D.

The cable used must have a minimum diameter of 1.5 mm² and a maximum
diameter of 2.5 mm².
There are two options for transformers suggested for use as a power supply
for the MX 32.
■ Bobbin transformer (standard default).
■ Toric Transformer (for connecting special sensors such as flame sensors,
etc.).
3 – Installation and wiring
9
Power supply 230 V AC
The sector power supply must be wired to the two terminals marked P
(orange) and N (blue) (Figure 4, ref. E) on the 12 point terminal block for the
power supply card; also see the wiring example on page 11. Protection is
provided by fuses F8 and F9 (160 mA/250 VAC) (Figure 4, ref. C and ref. D).
Power supply 115 V AC
Protection is provided by fuses F9 and F8 (315mA/250 VAC) (Figure 4, ref. C
and ref. D).
Power supply 24 V DC
Must be connected to the terminals marked 0 (grey) and +24V (orange) on the
12 point terminal block for the power supply card (Figure 4, ref. F) as
indicated by the wiring example on page 11. Protection is provided by fuse F7
(2A/250 VAC) (Figure 4, ref. B).
Measurement Channels
The MX 32 controller can be equipped with one or two adjustable and dual
measurement channels (see Figure 7). Three options are suggested at
purchase:
■ MX 32 with 2 measurement channels (dual);
■ MX 32 with 1 measurement channel (dual);
■ 1 extension card (to add on to a 1-channel controller).
The MX 32 controller will automatically recognize the number of measurement
channels installed (display).
Figure 7: the 2 measurement channels for the controller.
Sensors
The sensors must be connected to points C1, C2 and C3 on the 12 point
connector for each channel card, as indicated on the wiring example on page
10.

Note
For each family of sensors, on the measurement channel circuits:
■ Programming will be carried out by Oldham (programming circuit pads).
■ A programming circuit (Explo 340 mA or 4-20 mA) will be inserted on the
mounting by the manufacturer (Figure 4, ref. S and T).
Alarm relays
The MX 32 controller uses two alarm relays per measurement channel which
correspond to two instant pre-programmed alarm thresholds 1 and 2.The
relays are energized (de-energized available on request) and voltage-free.
■ The relay corresponding to alarm 1 is connected to the RL1 (green)
terminals on the 12 point connector for each channel card.
■ The relay corresponding to alarm 2 is connected to the RL2 (grey)
terminals on the 12 point connector for each channel card.
The relay contacts can be used "normally open" (NO) or "normally closed"
(NC) by flipping the corresponding switch (Figure 4, ref. U or V for AL1 alarms
and references W and X for AL2 alarms).
Refer to the wiring examples beginning on page 11.
Relay fault
The MX 32 controller uses one "Fault" alarm per measurement channel (visual
and auditory) but a single shared "Fault" rela y for both c hannels . The fault
relay is energized and voltage-free. The shared fault relay can be connected
to the points marked DEF (fault) on the 12 point terminal block for the power
supply card.
The relay contact can be used "normally open" (NO) or "normally closed" (NC)
by flipping the corresponding switch (Figure 4, ref. L).
Refer to the wiring examples beginning on page 11.
Wiring examples
The following pages contain two examples of wiring.
