1.0 Introduction
1.1 About the FleX-Net™ FX-4000 Intelligent Fire Detection and Voice
Evacuation System
Mircom’s FleX-Net™ FX-4000 Intelligent Fire Detection and Voice Evacuation System offers
modular components for network systems providing a wide variety of applications. Designed
for peer to peer network communications, using industrial standard ARCnet protocol. FleX-
Net™ allows for a maximum of 63 nodes (a node can be a control center or a floor panel) while
providing reliability and flexibility.
Each base panel consists of 4 Class A or B Indicating Circuits or notification appliance circuit
(NACs) rated at 1.7 amperes each. A large 4 x 20 back-lit alphanumeric 8- line LCD display
and a 24 line graphical display are available. Additional SLC loops are available with MGC
Protocol Quad Loop Adder module ALCN-960MISO for expanding addressable loops (SLC)
by 2; together with daughter board ALCN-960D expanding addressable loops by a total of 4.
Also available is the Quad Loop Adder module ALCN-4792MISO for expanding addressable
loops (SLC) by 2; with daughter board ALCN-792D expanding addressable loops by a total
of 4.
The configuration allows the FleX-Net™ Fire Alarm Control Panels to be connected to a
Mircom network which provides additional input circuits, visual zones, programmable
notification appliance circuits and relays. In addition, a FleX-Net™ Integrated Fire and Audio
panel can be used to provide a fully distributed audio and/or integrated telephone system.
The FleX-Net™ FX-4000 provides zoned emergency multi-channel audio providing

emergency paging and fire evacuation, and an optional firefighters’ telephone communication
to and from CACF (Central Alarm and Control Facilities) location to all remote telephone
handsets. The system consists of an Integrated Fire and Audio Network Panel or FX-MNS
nodes. Each Integrated Fire and Audio Network Panel or FX-MNS contains an audio portion
which consists of a QMB-5000N motherboard and card cage which holds an ANC-4000
Audio Network Card, a TNC-5000 Telephone Network Card and up to 4 amplifiers, a fire
alarm portion FX-4000MNS Main Chassis, a PS-2040 power supply and batteries. The
QBB-5001(R) expansion audio cabinet (connected to a Integrated Fire and Audio Network
Panel or FX-MNS node) contains a card cage motherboard which holds up to 7 amplifiers,
has an audio power supply, battery charger and batteries all housed in an audio backbox
enclosure.
For communication and annunciation there is a microphone for paging, a paging selector
panel, a firefighters’ telephone and associated selector panels. The master paging and
telephone modules are intended for installation in a CACF. Note that the paging microphone
and firefighters’ telephone may be used together or independently, connected to a FleX-Net™
Network Central Alarm and Control Facility (CACF).

1.4 Document Conventions
1.5 Circuits and Zones
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating
(signal), or relay.
The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least
one circuit.
Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit
is used.
On the FleX-Net™ circuits can be hardwired inputs and outputs or addressable inputs and
outputs. Both hardwired inputs and outputs, and addressable inputs and outputs may be
grouped together to form logical zones.
1.6 Wiring Styles
Initiating circuits are configured by default as Class B. They may be configured as Class A
as described in System Configuration. This operation uses odd and even pairs of two-wire
Class B circuits to make one four-wire Class A circuit, thus cutting in half the number of
available initiating circuits.
Indicating circuits (NACs) may be individually wired as Class A or Class B without affecting
the number of circuits available.
Addressable Loops may be configured system wide as Class B, Class A. With the addition of
isolators, a Class A will become a Class X.

3.2 General Chassis Installation
1. Group the incoming wires through the top of the enclosure to prepare it for wiring the
modules. Do not run the wires in-between the modules since it could cause a short
circuit.
2. Use a wire tie to group wires for easy identification and neatness.
3. Be sure to connect a solid earth ground (from building system ground / to a cold water
pipe) to the chassis earth ground mounting lug, and to connect the earth ground wire
lugs from the main chassis to the ground screw on the backbox.

3.3 Module Mounting Locations
The FX-4003-12N or FX-4017-12N Main Chassis come pre-assembled with a main fire alarm
board. Install the adder modules of different types as shown in the following diagrams.
i Notes: For many adder modules to enable communication from the main module to all of the
adder modules, it is necessary to add a continuity jumper on the last adder module in a
chain (see the appropriate module settings section to verify the location of the continuity
jumper on a particular circuit adder module). Only the last circuit adder module should
have a jumper plug on its continuity jumper; all others must be left without a jumper plug.

5.9.1 Fan Damper Operation
The FDX-008W Fan Damper Control Display module has eight configurable output circuits,
each with a three position switch. The FDX-008WKI operates in the same manner as the FDX-
008W except zone 8 is controlled by a remote keyswitch. Each switch has an ON and OFF
position, plus an AUTO position. If the switch is placed in the AUTO position, the white AUTO
LED will illuminate steady and the output will activate as programmed or configured. The
output can be manually turned ON or OFF by placing the switch in the ON or OFF position,
respectively.
Basically each switch can be configured to operate multiple fans or dampers. For each switch,
there are 3 operations provided; outputs to turn ON, same outputs to turn OFF and inputs to
bypass.
An example of the most common use of the FDX-008W or FDX-008WKI Fan Damper Control
Display module is to operate exhaust fans and confirm fan operation (via monitor modules).
See FDX-008W Block Diagram on the next page for a block diagram of fan and monitor set up.
Example
As shown in the figure to the right, Parking Garage #1 has 3 PARKING GARAGE #1,
FANS 1, 2 , 3
exhaust fans. The three position switch is configured to operate
(to turn ON) fans 1, 2 and 3 in stairwell #1. The switch is set in the
OFF AUTO ON TROUBLE
AUTO position (white AUTO LED on steady). Upon activation (via
alarm or some other programmed trigger) with the switch in
AUTO, the 3 fans (1,2, and 3) in stairwell #1 are turned ON
automatically. Monitor modules in the Parking Garage #1 detect
that all 3 fans are operating, therefore the ON LED will illuminate
steadily. If one of the fans did not turn ON (due to malfunction), both the ON and OFF LEDs
will flash at the slow trouble rate. The TRBL (trouble) LED will illuminate steady amber based
on feedback from the monitor module that one or more of the fans is not working.
36
AUTO LED shows steady for switch in AUTO position.
ON LED shows steady for all outputs operating and confirmed.
OFF LED shows steady for all outputs NOT operating and confirmed.
TRBL LED shows steady for one or more outputs NOT operating and confirmed.
i Note: A bypass function always has priority, so that if a circuit is bypassed by moving the
switch manually or by loop bypass (FX-4000N Fire Alarm Panel), no other action will
operate this switch other than again moving the switch manually or by un-bypassing the
loop.

5.11.2 Components
There are four green LEDs on the board, one for each signal zone. The LED will illuminate or
flash following the signal rate sent to its zone. It will be off when the system is normal and they
will illuminate when a signal zone is activated. The LED does not reflect what is happening on
the signal zone, just that it is receiving data to activate that signal zone.
i Note: Jumpers JW2, JW3, JW4 and JW5 are positioned on pins 2 and 3 (right two pins with
board orientation as shown above) from factory.
5.11.3 Operation
There are two modes of operation for this module. The basic mode of operation does not
involve any isolators connected to the signal zones. For this case, leave jumpers JW2, JW3,
JW4 and JW5 as they come on pins 2 and 3, and do not make any connection to terminal
block J11. The isolator mode is used when isolators are to be connected to the signal circuits.
For further information on bell cut relays or isolators, please refer to the specific fire alarm
panel manual or the isolator instruction manual.

5.15 ALCN-960MISO Quad Loop Adder Module with ALCN-960D Daughter

Board
The Quad Loop Adder module provides two SLC loops, plus an additional two SLC loops as
part of the daughter board ALCN-960D which is mounted over the ALCN-960MISO. The Quad
Loop Adder module may be mounted over the fire alarm board in any chassis that supports
adder boards. Refer to the Display and Adder Modules section for mounting applications. This
module is mounted using four #6 screws and (if necessary) four 1 1/2" spacers.
Power The power is supplied to the board via cable from the main fire alarm
board or from the previous loop controller module into the P1 POWER
IN connector. Connect the P2 POWER OUT connector to the next loop
controller module or other adder module. One power cable is supplied
with this module.
RS-485: The RS-485 cable comes attached at P4 on the ALCN-960MISO and is
either connected to P3 of the main fire alarm controller module or
connected from the previous loop controller module or other adder
board. If the next loop controller module is used, connect the RS-485
out at P3 for ALCN-960MISO to the next loop controller module; if it is
not used, leave without connection.
DIP Switches: Use the DIP switches to set the binary address of the board. SW1-1 is
the lowest significant digit and ON is active. For example, an address of
two would be created by turning SW1-1 OFF, SW1-2 ON and DIP
switches SW1-3 to SW1-8 OFF. Refer to Appendix C for DIP switch
settings.
Loop 1: This is the addressable loop for all initiating devices. Wire the loop as
shown in Figure 33, Figure 34 and Figure 35.
shown in Figure 33, Figure 34 and Figure 35.

7.0 System Checkout
7.1 Before Turning the Power On
1. To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering
the system from the main AC supply.
2. Check that all modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.
3. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.
4. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in
properly.
5. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.
6. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.
7. Check that the chassis is connected to EARTH GROUND (cold water pipe). Refer to
NFPA 70.
8. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC
supply.
i Note: When using Class A and isolators on an addressable loop, configure system as Class B,
wire loop as Class A, except do not connect the last device back to the panel. Do a
system checkout. Then connect the return of the Class A circuit and configure as Class
A.
7.2 Power-Up Procedure

1. After completing the above procedures, power up the panel (AC only). The green AC On
LED and the Common Trouble LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound.
2. Press the System Reset button. Since the batteries are not connected, the Battery
Trouble LED should illuminate, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently, and the
Common Trouble LED should flash.
3. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and the
black wire is negative (-). All indicators should extinguish except for the AC On LED and
the LCD should show a normal status condition.
4. Auto-Configure or PC Configure the fire alarm control panel as described in the
Configurator Guide.
7.3 Troubleshooting
Message Description
Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated,
as well as the Common Trouble indicator and Trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check
Circuit Trouble for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or see if the circuit disconnect switch is in the
ON or CLOSED position. Note: disconnecting a circuit will cause a system trouble (off-
normal position).
The FX-4000N panel has a Common Ground Fault Detector. To correct the fault, check for
Ground Fault
any external wiring touching the chassis or other earth ground connection.
Check for the presence of batteries and their condition. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will
Battery Trouble cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace the batteries as soon
as possible.

8.1 Common Indicators
Indicators Description
The Buzzer is activated by any of the following
Fire Alarm - Steady
Supervisory Alarm - Fast Rate
Buzzer Trouble -Trouble Rate
Monitor -Configurable to sound at Trouble Rate
If the Buzzer is turned on in response to a Non-Latching Trouble or Supervisory, it
will be turned off if the condition causing it goes away and there is no other reason
for it to be on.
The AC On Indicator is activated steady green while the main AC power is within
AC On LED acceptable levels. It is turned off when the level falls below the power-fail threshold
and the panel is switched to standby (battery) power.
The Common Alarm LED flashes red whenever the Panel is in Alarm. An alarm
results from any alarm on any point or input programmed as Alarm or activation of
the manual red General Alarm Button (if the Panel is set for Two Stage Operation).
Alarm Queue LED
The Alarm Queue LED will go steady, once all alarms in the queue have been
reviewed using the Alarm Queue button. Since all Alarms are latched until the Panel
is reset, the Common Alarm LED will remain on until then.
The Common Supv. (Supervisory) LED flashes amber at the Fast Flash Rate when
there is a Supervisory Alarm in the Panel, as the result of any Latching or Non-
Latching Supervisory Circuit. The LED turns off if all Non-Latching Supervisory
Supervisory Queue LED Circuits are restored and there are no Latching Supervisory Circuits active. The
Supv. Queue LED will go steady, once all supervisory alarms in the supervisory
queue have been reviewed using the Supv. ACK button. Latching Supervisory
Alarms remain active until the Panel is reset.
The Common Trouble LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash Rate when there is
any Trouble condition being detected on the panel. It is turned off when all Non-
Trouble Queue LED Latching Troubles are cleared. The Trouble Queue LED will go steady, once all
troubles in the trouble queue have been reviewed using the Trouble Queue button.
The BLDG Queue LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash Rate when there is any
BLDG Queue LED monitored building condition being detected on the panel. It is turned off when all
building monitors are cleared.
The CPU Fault Indicator is flashed yellow at the Trouble Flash Rate if the CPU is
CPU Fault LED faulty.
Fire Drill LED The Fire Drill Indicator turns on steady amber while Fire Drill is active.
If the Panel is configured as Two Stage, the General Alarm Cancel Indicator flashes
Automatic Alm Sig Stop amber at the Fast Flash Rate while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing out. It
(Ack) or General Alarm turns on steady amber when that Timer is cancelled by activating the General Alarm
Cancel LED Cancel or Signal Silence buttons. If the Auto General Alarm Timer times-out and
puts the Panel into General Alarm, the Indicator is turned off.
In Two Stage Operation only, the General Alarm LED is steady red when general
alarm is activated due to the red General Alarm button being pushed, a General
General Alarm LED Alarm Initiating Circuit being activated, or the Auto General Alarm Timer timing out.
Once the General Alarm LED has been turned on it will stay active until the Panel is
reset.
The Signal Silence indicator is flashed amber, at the trouble rate when Indication
Circuits are Silenced either by the Signal Silence button, or by the Auto Signal
Signal Silence LED
Silence Timer. It is turned off when the Signals are re-sounded by a subsequent
Alarm.
The Ground Fault Indicator flashes amber at the Trouble Rate when the Ground
Ground Fault LED Fault Detector detects a Ground Fault on any field wiring. It turns off immediately
when the Ground Fault is cleared.

8.2.4 System Reset Button
The System Reset button causes the Fire Alarm Control Panel, and all Circuits, to be reset
• Resets all Latching, Trouble Conditions

• Resets all Initiating Circuits
• Resets 4-Wire Smoke Supply and Aux. Power Supply
• Turns off all NACs
• Turns off Signal Silence, Ack & GA Indicators
• Turns off Fire Drill
• Stops and resets all Timers
• Processes inputs as new events
• Aux Disconnect is not affected
• Reset cannot be activated until the Signal Silence Inhibit timer has expired.
8.2.5 Signal Silence Button
Activation of the Signal Silence button when the Panel is in Alarm, turns on the Signal Silence
Indicator and deactivates any Silenceable NACs. Non-Silenceable Circuits are unaffected.
Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function during any
configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if the NACs are active
as the result of a Fire Drill. In a Two Stage System, if the Auto General Alarm Timer has timed
out, this Signal Silence button also performs the same function as the General Alarm Cancel
button.
8.2.6 Fire Drill Button
The Fire Drill button activates all programmed and non-Disconnected NACs, but does not
transmit any Alarms via the City Tie, or Common Alarm Relay. Fire Drill may be programmed
72
to operate specific NACs. Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again (toggle switch), or
if the Panel goes into a real Alarm.
8.2.7 General Alarm Cancel Button (Two Stage Only)
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is
configured for Two Stage Operation, activation of the General Alarm Cancel button while the
Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the Panel, but it is still in the First
Stage), that timer is cancelled, and the General Alarm Cancel Indicator is on steady amber.
8.2.8 General Alarm Button (Two Stage Only)
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is
configured for Two Stage Operation, activation of the General Alarm button immediately sends
the Panel into Second Stage - General Alarm. It will also re-activate the Signals if they have
been Silenced during General Alarm. The General Alarm condition remains active until the
Panel is reset.
8.2.9 Lamp Test Button
Activation of the Lamp Test button turns all front panel Indicators on steady in whichever
colour they would normally be activated and turns the buzzer on steady. If Lamp Test is active
for more than 10 seconds, Common Trouble is activated.
8.3 Single Stage Operation
In a single stage system, all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include
any of the following: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, sprinkler alarm, water-flow alarm, and
general alarm circuits. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in
alarm cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled
• The Common Alarm LED turns on
• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active
• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts
• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts
• All non-disconnected NACs programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux
disconnect is not active
• Non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated
• Non-disconnected signals associated with the input are activated at the evacuation rate
Subsequent alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
• The alert buzzer sounds steadily

• If Signals have been silenced, they are resounded, the Signal Silence LED turns off, and
the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted
• Any additional non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated
continuously
• Any additional non-disconnected signals associated with the new input are activated at
the evacuation rate
73
8.4 Two Stage Operation
In a two stage system, alarm inputs are either first stage (alert) inputs or second stage
(general alarm) inputs. First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits:
non-verified alarm, verified alarm, sprinkler alarm, and water-flow alarm. Second stage inputs
include alarms on the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or
expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the
panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled
• The Common Alarm LED turns on
• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active
• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts
• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts
• All Non-disconnected indicating programmed to the input are activated provided that
Aux disconnect is not active
If the alarm is a second stage alarm,
• All non-disconnected strobe circuits are activated continuously

• All non-disconnected signal circuits are activated at the evacuation rate
• The General Alarm LED turns on.
If the alarm is a First Stage alarm,
• Non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit are activated continuously

• Non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that circuit are activated with the alert
code
• The Auto General Alarm timer, if configured, starts
• The General Alarm Cancel LED starts flashing.
Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:

• If signals have been silenced as a result of the silence button or the Auto signal silence
timer, signals are resounded as they were before signal silence, the Signal Silence LED
turns off, and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, additional non-disconnected signals
programmed to the new input are activated with the Alert Code (see Indicating (Signal)
Circuit Types sectionpage 76).
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and if the General Alarm Cancel LED is on
steady indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been Acknowledged the timer is
restarted and the General Alarm Cancel LED is extinguished.
A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:

• All non-disconnected signals are activated at the evacuation rate
74
• If the Signal Silence LED is on, it turns off and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if
configured, is restarted
• The General Alarm Cancel LED if on, turns off
Alarm inputs are latching: they remain active until system reset.
i Note: If the system is configured for correlations, any second stage / general alarm
condition activates all NACs whether they are correlated or not.
8.5 Pre-Signal Operation
To configure the panel for pre-signal, all alarm inputs must be correlated to one NAC circuit
that is wired to a Notification Appliance in the Control Room that is constantly monitored by an
Operator. Using the FX-4000N Configurator, “Subsequent Alarm” in “Common System Status”
must be correlated to turn on the Remaining NAC circuits in the system. To confirm the alarm
(i.e. subsequent alarm) the operator can press the “General Alarm” button on the panel or
activate a Manual Station in the Control Room.
i Note: Pre-Signal is not permitted to be used in Canada, unless approved by the AHJ.
8.6 Circuit Types
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, either initiating (detection) or
indicating (signal). The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will
consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in
this manual the term circuit is used.
8.6.1 Initiating (Detection) Circuit Type
Initiating (Detection) Circuit Description

Type
This is a "normal" type of alarm which may have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat
detectors attached. Any activation of these devices will immediately result in an alarm
Non-Verified Alarm
condition in the fire alarm control panel. An alarm condition causes the associated
circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
These alarms are verified by a reset and timing procedure, and may have Manual
Stations, smoke detectors attached. Any activation of Manual Stations will result in an
alarm condition in the fire alarm control panel within four seconds. Smoke detectors will
be verified for a real alarm within 60 seconds depending upon the start-up time of the
smoke detectors being used. If four seconds is too long a response time for pull
Verified Alarm
stations, then they should be wired separately on a non-verified alarm circuit. An alarm
condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to
illuminate red. Verified Alarm is not permitted for heat detectors, 4-wire smoke detectors
and smoke detectors with built-in alarm verification. Refer to Appendix D Alarm
Verification for details.
75
Initiating (Detection) Circuit Description
Type
An alarm for water-flow sensors. These alarms are identical to normal non-verified
alarms except that any NACs programmed to these circuits (all are by default) are non-
silenceable. Also, if water-flow retard operation is enabled, then these circuits are
sampled every one second; if ten samples are active within any 15 second interval, the
Water-Flow Alarm water-flow alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated
circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Note: Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device;
maximum retard may not exceed 120 seconds.
An alarm for sprinkler flow sensors. These alarms are identical to normal non-verified
alarms unless the water-flow retard operation is enabled. If water-flow retard operation
is enabled, then these circuits are sampled every one second; if ten samples are active
within any 15 second interval, the sprinkler alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm
Sprinkler Alarm condition causes the associated circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to
illuminate red.
Note: Do not use the retard operation with any external retarding device;
maximum retard may not exceed 120 seconds.
These alarms provide remote general alarm such as for remote key switches. In a two
stage system, these inputs perform exactly the same function as the front panel or
General Alarm remote annunciator General Alarm button. In a single stage system, these inputs act the
same as non-verified alarms, but if correlations are enabled, general alarm initiating
circuits are correlated to all NACs.
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the
Circuit Status LED and the Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer
Non-Latching Supervisory will sound continuously. If the circuit activation is removed, the supervisory condition will
clear (so long as there are no other supervisory conditions in the system) and the circuit
Status LED will extinguish.
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the
Circuit Status LED and the Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer
Latching Supervisory
will sound continuously. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will
not clear.
This is a supervised general purpose non-latching input used mainly for correlating to a
Monitor (BLDG) relay circuit. No other system condition occurs as a result of its activation (short-circuit),
although it is supervised for trouble (open-circuit).

17.0 Installing and Removing Amplifiers
! ATTENTION: Improper installation or excessive force will damage the motherboard and
modules being installed or removed.
17.1 Installing QAA Amplifier Modules

1. Hold the amplifier to be installed by the backplate edges. Do not handle, push or pull any
of the components on the amplifier (especially not the transformer) as this will damage
those components.
2. Line up the amplifier being installed with the two plastic runners on the card cage and
slide the amplifier back to the point where the amplifier just about touches the pins on
the QMB-5000N/B motherboards.
3. Make sure that the amplifier is square with the motherboard.
4. Gently push the amplifier forward to line up the amplifier connector with the motherboard
pins. Once you have a sense of feel that the amplifier connector and the motherboard
pins are properly lined up, place one thumb on the top edge of the backplate and the
other thumb on the bottom of the backplate and carefully push the amplifier in. You
should hear a slight thud sound when the amplifier is snapped into place.
i Note: If the amplifier connector is not properly lined up with the motherboard pins, or if
excessive force is used, the pins on the motherboard can be damaged.
17.2 Removing the QAA Amplifier Modules

1. Disconnect all cables connected to the amplifier. Do not handle, push or pull any of the
components on the amplifier (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those
components.
2. Place the forefinger of one hand on the top inside edge of the front heat sink (the heat
sinks are the two long silver channel-like metal covers opposite the backplate) and the
forefinger of the other hand on the bottom edge of the backplate behind the card cage
frame.
3. Carefully pull and rock the amplifier forward until the amplifier connector is disconnected
from the motherboard pins.
4. Holding the amplifier firmly by the backplate edges, slide the amplifier forward and
completely remove it from the card cage.
! ATTENTION: Power should be disconnected before removing and inserting modules.

22.0 QBB-5001(R) Amplifier Installation
The following instructions are based on the assumption that the fire alarm is already installed.
1. Install the QBB-5001(R) Audio Backbox and door in the desired location.
2. Install the QMB-5000B Motherboard / Card-Cage into the backbox.
3. Install the QBC-5000N Battery Charger into the backbox. Connect its cable to J1 on the
motherboard.
4. Install the QPS-5000N Power Supply into the QBB-5001/R backbox. Be careful: the
QPS-5000N is very heavy.
5. Connect the heavy orange - yellow - orange wires from the motherboard to the power
supply being careful to match the wire colour to the labelling on the power supply.
6. Connect the un-powered 120 VAC line power and chassis ground to the power supply
following the labelling. Ground the power supply to the box. Do not apply AC power at
this time.
7. Install the two 12 VDC batteries into the backbox.
8. Connect the battery cables from the motherboard to the batteries as shown in Figure 52,
but do not connect the cable between the batteries at this time.
When plugging in these amplifiers, the components are facing left. Slide the amplifier in place
and to avoid damage, making sure that the edge connector is properly mating with the header
on the motherboard. Keep the amplifier as straight and level as possible and use even
pressure on the top and bottom. The amplifier is connected properly after it snaps into place.
! ATTENTION: Powering the system with incorrectly installed amplifiers will cause
permanent damage.
9. Connect and check (for opens, shorts, and ground) all the amplifiers' field wiring.
Before Turning the Power "ON"...
The entire system installation should be completed first.
To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the
system from the main A.C. supply.
1. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables.

2. Check and secure all interconnection wiring cables to the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
3. Check the A.C. power wiring for proper connection.
4. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground.

TO CALCULATE CHASSIS AND BATTERY SIZE:

Add all the alarm currents in column (B), and use this value to determine main chassis selection and
the battery capacity requirement.
Total Current Requirement: ALARM (total from column B)______ Amps.
MAIN CHASSIS SELECTION:

Select FX-4003-12N (-12NXT), FX-4017-12N or FX-4009-12N if the total of column B is less than 12
Amps.
Use the total from column (A) as the standby current required. Multiple this value by 24 hours or 60
hours depending on AHJ. Add this total to the total of column (B) multiplied by the time in hours to
sustain alarm.
♣ Use 0.084 for five minutes of alarm or 0.5 for thirty minutes of alarm as a multiplier figure.
BATTERY CAPACITY REQUIREMENT:

43.0 Appendix G: FXMNS Used as a Mass Notification
System (ACU)
The MNS portion of a complete Mircom FleX-Net™ Network Fire Alarm system consists of a
BBX-FXMNS Enclosure (see Node 2 in figure below). The BBX-FXMNS includes a RAXN-
4000LCD Annunciator which is designated an ACU (Autonomous Control Unit) and a Master
Microphone to provide emergency audio. Below the ACU is another RAXN-4000LCD which
annunciates the fire alarm system along with a Master Telephone for emergency use. Below
this is a display LCD such as the DSPL-420DS or DSPL-2440 which may be used for service;
this display will show all messages. Up to seven FX-LOC(R)s can be connected to any MNS

43.2 Configuration for Mass Notification
There are two groups that can be created for the nodes; one group is the fire/central control
and the second is mass notification.
In order to have this distinction, all zones have to be assigned a “Zone Priority”. Priority can be
high, low, normal or a percentage of + or - increments of 5. Maximum of +19 percent above
normal and -19 percent below normal. This percentage allows specific levels of messaging
priority above and below fire alarm messaging. For example one area of voice messaging may
have +5 percent above normal zone priority, which means that this area has the first level
priority (or override) above fire alarm messaging. Another area may have -10 percent below
normal zone priority which will have this area two levels below fire alarm messaging priority.
The following are screen captures of the group and zone priority for an sample system with a
CACF (Node 1) and MNS (Node 2) and two FX-LOC(R)s.
This screen capture shows selection of Node 1 as a Fire/Central Control
Select Node 2 as the

This screen capture shows input zone priority settings for the Mass Notification Node 2
43.3 FX-LOC(R) Active

As part of the Mass Notification requirements, an RAX-1048TZDS Zone Annunciator is part of
the MNS. Configure one zone of the RAX-1048TZDS per each FX-LOC(R) connected to the
MNS (ACU). Each LED is configured to illuminate when the respective FX-LOC(R) paging is in
use.
i Note: The RAX-1048TZDS normally displays Initiating circuit status and trouble indication, the
FleX-Net™ configuration must be used to configure each zone corresponding to a FX-
LOC(R).
43.4 Reset
As per UL, resets are handled separately for Fire/Central Control and the Mass Notification
System. They are mutually independent.
43.5 ACU Emergency Response Operation

1. Access control of ACU.
2. ACU will notify in use via LED on RAX-1048TZDS.
3. Select areas to receive paging or digitized messages or use all call.
4. Page or send digitized message as necessary.

c. other information about the Mircom System or the parties’ rights and obligations as may
be application to a given circumstance.
3. Security and Insurance. Regardless of its capabilities, no Mircom System is a substitute for
property or life insurance. Nor is the system a substitute for property owners, renters, or other
occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency
situation. Building automation systems produced by the Mircom Group of Companies are not
to be used as a fire, alarm, or life-safety system.
NOTE TO INSTALLERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However,
there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system
failure include the following. As the only individual in contact with system users, please bring
each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this Mircom System. Failure to
properly inform system end-users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may
result in over-reliance upon the system. As a result, it is imperative that you properly inform
each customer for whom you install the system of the possible forms of failure:
4. Inadequate Installation. All Mircom Systems must be installed in accordance with all the
applicable codes and standards in order to provide adequate protection. National standards
require an inspection and approval to be conducted by the local authority having jurisdiction
following the initial installation of the system and following any changes to the system. Such
inspections ensure installation has been carried out properly.
5. Inadequate Testing. Most problems that would prevent an alarm a Mircom System from
operating as intended can be discovered by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested by the local authority having jurisdiction immediately after a fire,
storm, earthquake, accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
148
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
NOTE TO USERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However,
there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system
failure include the following. The end user can minimize the occurrence of any of the following
by proper training, testing and maintenance of the Mircom Systems:
6. Inadequate Testing and Maintenance. It is imperative that the systems be periodically

tested and subjected to preventative maintenance. Best practices and local authority having
jurisdiction determine the frequency and type of testing that is required at a minimum. Mircom
System may not function properly, and the occurrence of other system failures identified below
may not be minimized, if the periodic testing and maintenance of Mircom Systems is not
completed with diligence and as required.
7. Improper Operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation
of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
A Mircom System may not function as intended during an emergency situation where the user
is unable to operate a panic or emergency switch by reason of permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, unfamiliarity with the correct operation,
or related circumstances.
8. Insufficient Time. There may be circumstances when a Mircom System will operate as
intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to
respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not
occur in time enough to protect the occupants or their belongings.
9. Carelessness or Safety Hazards. Moreover, smoke detectors may not provide timely
warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits or children playing with matches or arson.
10. Power Failure. Some Mircom System components require adequate electrical power supply
to operate. Examples include: smoke detectors, beacons, HVAC, and lighting controllers. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device
inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often
accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage Mircom Systems or other electronic
equipment. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system
test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
11. Battery Failure. If the Mircom System or any device connected to the system operates from
batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be
fully charged, in good condition, and installed correctly. Some Mircom Systems use
replaceable batteries, which have a limited life-span. The expected battery life is variable and
in part dependent on the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as
high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. Moreover, some Mircom Systems do not have a battery monitor that
would alert the user in the event that the battery is nearing its end of life. Regular testing and
replacements are vital for ensuring that the batteries function as expected, whether or not a
device has a low-battery monitor.
12. Physical Obstructions. Motion sensors that are part of a Mircom System must be kept clear
of any obstacles which impede the sensors’ ability to detect movement. Signals being
communicated by a Mircom System may not reach the receiver if an item (such as metal,
water, or concrete) is placed on or near the radio path. Deliberate jamming or other
inadvertent radio signal interference can also negatively affect system operation.
149
13. Wireless Devices Placement Proximity. Moreover all wireless devices must be a minimum
and maximum distance away from large metal objects, such as refrigerators. You are required
to consult the specific Mircom System manual and application guide for any maximum
distances required between devices and suggested placement of wireless devices for optimal
functioning.
14. Failure to Trigger Sensors. Moreover, Mircom Systems may fail to operate as intended if
motion, heat, or smoke sensors are not triggered.
a. Sensors in a fire system may fail to be triggered when the fire is in a chimney, walls, roof,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke
or heat from fires on another level of the residence or building. In this situation the
control panel may not alert occupants of a fire.
b. Sensors in a nurse call system may fail to be triggered when movement is occurring
outside of the motion sensors’ range. For example, if movement is occurring on the other
side of closed doors or on another level of the residence or building the motion detector
may not be triggered. In this situation the central controller may not register an alarm
signal.
15. Interference with Audible Notification Appliances. Audible notification appliances may be
interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners,
appliances, or passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard
by a hearing-impaired person.
16. Other Impairments. Alarm notification appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes
may not warn or waken a sleeping occupant if there is an intervening wall or door. It is less
likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened when notification appliances are located
on a different level of the residence or premise.
17. Software Malfunction. Most Mircom Systems contain software. No warranties are provided
as to the software components of any products or stand-alone software products within a
Mircom System. For a full statement of the warranties and exclusions and limitations of
liability please refer to the company’s standard Terms and Conditions and Warranties.
18. Telephone Lines Malfunction. Telephone service can cause system failure where telephone
lines are relied upon by a Mircom System. Alarms and information coming from a Mircom
System may not be transmitted if a phone line is out of service or busy for a certain period of
time. Alarms and information may not be transmitted where telephone lines have been
compromised by criminal tampering, local construction, storms or earthquakes.
19. Component Failure. Although every effort has been made to make this Mircom System as
reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
20. Integrated Products. Mircom System might not function as intended if it is connected to a
non-Mircom product or to a Mircom product that is deemed non-compatible with a particular
Mircom System. A list of compatible products can be requested and obtained.
