Hockiki 8 Way I/O Card

Features
The Mxp-019 is a stand-alone fire system peripheral based on the Hochiki ESP protocol for use with the
MxPro 4 and MxPro 5 ranges of panels. The unit connects to the detection loop of the fire panel and provides
monitoring for up to 8 individual switch inputs and provides 8 individually programmable 8 Amp rated, volt free,
clean contact outputs. In addition, the unit provides monitoring of its local power supply.

In use, each input can be assigned to an individual or common zone, can be configured as monitored or un-
monitored and can be individually programmed to generate a specific user defined function from the control
panel program. The input functions can be either latched or non-latched and include Fire, Fault, Pre-alarm,
Security, Alarm, etc. together with any other programmable input option allowed within the MxPro system’s
DynamiX zoning facilities.

For the outputs, each one can be individually assigned to an output group and has a number of programmable
operational parameters including fail-safe, can-silence, allow walk test and delayed operation. Where outputs
on multiple 8-way I/O cards are contained within a common output group, all outputs within the group and
connected together on the same detection loop are synchronised.

The operation and functions described in this manual are available from Software Version 019-01 onwards.

Up to six Mxp-019 cards can also be mounted to the Mxp-023 4A PSU or Mxm-019 Utility enclosure. Please
contact sales for further information.

Applications / Limitations:
Ideal for any applications where a number of remote switch inputs and/or outputs have to be interfaced into a
fire alarm system. Since the unit only takes up one loop address a large number of I/O can be accessed.
Multiple 8-way outputs programmed to the same output group and connected together on the same detection
loop are all synchronised making the card ideal for any application where synchronisation of outputs is
required.
Up to a maximum of 60 Mxp-019 can be connected to a multi-loop panel and up to 15 to the single loop control
panel (excluding all detection devices).
Compatibility:
The Mxp-019 is compatible with all MxPro control panels using Hochiki ESP protocol from software revision 17-
01 onwards.
