Instruction Manual

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).

Instruction Manual

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.

Figure 6: drilling dimensions for mounting the controller with three M4 screws.

3 – Installation and wiring

7

 

 

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.

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.).

8MX 32

Instruction Manual

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).

Channel 1

Channel 2

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.

Wheatstone bridge 3 active wire explosive gas detectors

C1: mid-point (signal).

C2: detector filament.

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" relay for both channels. 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.

The following pages contain two examples of wiring.
