MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
Introduction  
Document: LT0273  
1.1  
ABOUT THIS MANUAL  
This manual (MX4428 Product Manual Volume 11) is intended to provide all information and  
procedures required to incorporate one or more MXPs within an MX4428 system. It  
predominantly covers the function and engineering associated with the MXP itself, its impact  
on the MX4428 Responder Loop and the analogue loop/line(s) to which the compatible  
devices are connected. It does not duplicate basic MX4428 system engineering information,  
except at the point of interface (i.e. at the MX4428 Responder Loop), or for clarification as  
required. It is therefore a supplement to the F4000 Engineering Manual (F4000 Product  
Manual, Vol 3), to which the reader is referred for further information.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
Responder Loop Design Considerations  
Document: LT0273  
2.1  
MXP APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS  
The inclusion of one or more MXPs in an MX4428 system requires consideration of .....  
(i)  
The definition of zones throughout the area to be protected.  
(ii)  
Assessment of the detectors and other addressable device types and positions  
required to monitor each zone and interface to external equipment. This will indicate  
if and where the MXP's addressable devices are most appropriate, for purely  
functional reasons or for reducing system cost through reduced wiring.  
The Design Engineer should be fully familiar with the concept of logical responders,  
as described in Section 2.2, before allocating an MXP to monitor multiple alarm  
zones.  
This process should result in an initial system design defining .....  
-
-
-
-
Number and location of all Responders including MXPs.  
Number and location of all addressable devices.  
Planned cable route for MX4428 Responder Loop.  
Planned cable route(s) for MXP Analogue Loop(s).  
(iii)  
Using the design rules given in this manual, analyse each MXP Analogue Loop/Line  
to confirm .....  
-
the MXP's current capability is adequate for the proposed devices (see  
Section 3.2).  
-
-
the proposed cable has the correct AC characteristics (see Section 4.4).  
the proposed cable has the correct DC characteristics (see Section 4.5).  
(iv)  
Using Section 5 of this manual, in conjunction with the MX4428 Engineering Manual  
(LT0071), analyse the MX4428 responder Loop. This should result in.....  
-
-
the type and size of cable to be used for the power and signal portions of the  
MX4428 Responder Loop.  
the number and position of Loop Boosters required (if necessary).  
(v)  
The results of (iii) and (iv) indicate whether or not the proposed system design is  
practical and/or cost-effective. If not, analyse what factors have contributed to the  
design being impractical, re-design these areas or consider the use of loop boosters  
and return to step (i).  
(vi)  
Assess and document the programming of the MX4428 Master to support the system  
design. Programming of the MX4428 is covered in the MX4428 Programming Manual  
LT0072, with additional details of using SmartConfig in the SmartConfig user manual  
LT0332. The following data must be entered to support MXPs.  
-
information which, when downloaded to the MXP, defines how the MXP is to  
process the data received from addressable devices on the Analogue  
Loop/Line(s),  
-
information retained at the Master which defines how it is to process data  
received from configured MXPs on the MX4428 Loop.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
Responder Loop Design Considerations  
2.2  
"LOGICAL" RESPONDERS  
2.2.1  
THEORY  
The MX4428 Master Panel can transfer data to and from up to 127 uniquely addressed  
Responders distributed around the MX4428 Responder Loop. Its database is structured to  
support the 4 circuit inputs and 4 relay outputs associated with the most common responder  
type, the ADR. Incorporating an MXP, which supports up to 200 input, output, or input /  
output points, represents a departure from the original ADR / AAR structure, but it is similar  
to that used for the MPR multiprotocol responder.  
To incorporate the MXP, while still preserving the original 1 x MX4428 LOOP ADDRESS  
SUPPORTS 4 INPUTS (“CIRCUITS”) AND 4 OUTPUTS (“RELAYS”) database assumption,  
the concept of "logical responders" is used. A logical responder refers to a single responder  
loop number, supporting 4 inputs and 4 outputs. An ADR/ARR therefore represents a single  
logical responder. A responder that supports more than 4 inputs and outputs, such as the  
MXP, must therefore occupy multiple responder loop numbers. That is, it is a "multiple  
logical responder" unit. One MXP may in fact be configured at the MX4428 FIP to be  
between 1 and 50 logical responders.  
Since an MXP can support up to 200 points irrespective of how many logical responders it  
has been configured to represent, it may be necessary to allocate multiple points to each  
logical responder circuit input or relay output. This has certain implications described below,  
the most significant being that it is a logical responder “circuit” which is mapped to a zone,  
not a point, and it is a logical responder “relay” which is mapped to an ACZ, not a single  
output point. Thus if multiple devices are allocated to a circuit, they must all be in the same  
zone, and if multiple outputs are allocated to a relay, they will generally be controlled as one.  
2.2.2  
LOGICAL RESPONDERS  
Points map to logical responder circuits and relays as shown in Table 2-1 for different  
numbers of logical responders.  
Basically the 200 points are evenly distributed across the number of logical responder  
circuits/relays (= number of logical responders * 4), with the remainder allocated to the last  
circuit.  
Input devices are map to the circuit. Output devices usually map to the relay, but may map to  
the circuit by programming.  
The 50 logical responder option is the only one that allows unique monitoring and full front  
panel indication of all 200 individual points without using the MX4428 Point Text expansion  
option. The 50 logical responder option however, uses 50 of the 127 available MX4428  
responder loop addresses and therefore limits the remainder of the MX4428 system.  
Figure 2.1 shows an example 3 logical responder MXP, which has a capability of 3 X 4 = 12  
circuits (C1/1-1/4, C2/1-2/4, C3/1-3/4) and 12 relays (R1/1-1/4 ..... R3/4).  
Splitting up the possible 200 addressable devices equally among the 12 circuits results in  
each circuit being able to service 200/12 = 16 devices, with 8 left over. Thus devices 1-16  
are associated with circuit C1/1, devices 17-32 are associated with C1/2, etc, up to C3/4,  
which not only handles its own 16 points but also the extra 8 device addresses (193-200)  
otherwise not catered for. Input devices are mapped to circuits, and output devices are  
usually mapped to relays but may alternatively be mapped to the circuit.

Figure 2.1 Device To Circuit Mapping For 3 Logical Responder MXP  
2.2.3  
POINT TO CIRCUIT TO ZONE MAPPING  
Taking the 3 logical responder example in the previous sections, assume that of the 16  
possible device addresses that belong to C1/1, only 10 of these are in fact used, and that 7  
are input devices, and the remaining 3 are output devices. Further, assume that the  
MX4428 FIP is configured to map C1/1 to ZONE 1.  
In this case, an alarm sensed by any of the 7 input devices would put C1/1 into alarm, which  
in turn would put ZONE 1 into alarm, a condition indicated on the MX4428 Master front  
panel. However, the MXP also generates what is referred to as an extended event,  
indicating precisely which of the 7 input devices caused the alarm. This is transmitted to the  
MX4428 Master where it is presented on the front panel LCD, entered in the history log and  
printed on the logging printer (if programmed).  
If, for instance, in this example it was input device 6 that caused the ALARM then the  
extended event would take the form .....  
"P1/6 ALARM" where .....  
..... P = POINT  
1 = BASE ADDRESS OF RESPONDER  
6 = DEVICE NUMBER  
If the Point Text expansion option is fitted at the MX4428 Master, the event will be  
associated with a text description of the point.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
Responder Loop Design Considerations  
Document: LT0273  
So far only input devices have been considered. To continue our example for output  
devices, if the MX4428 Master generated an output command, via output logic, to turn on  
R1/1, then the MXP would activate all output devices associated with that relay, that is, in  
this case, all 3.  
2.3  
IMPLICATIONS TO SYSTEM DESIGN  
The System Designer should be aware of the following MX4428 characteristics before  
proceeding with the design .....  
(i)  
While the MX4428 with MXP capability can support up to 16 x 200 (3,200) points (i.e.  
addressable devices), the Master unit has a maximum of 528 zones with which to  
indicate the status of the system.  
The 528 zones may be used to display the status of either an "alarm zone",  
representing the status of a particular sub-section of the area to be monitored, or an  
"ancillary control zone" (ACZ), representing the status of an output controlled by the  
MX4428 system.  
The Point Text expansion option can be used to extend this capability. Refer to the  
F4000 Point Text Installation and Operation Manual (LT0228) for further information.  
(ii)  
FIP zone indicators are controlled according to the zone’s status, which is generated  
from the mapped circuit status. That is, the 4 circuits monitored by each of the 127  
logical responders can control a maximum of 4 x 127 = 508 unique zones.  
The point handling capability of an MX4428 system requiring individual LED  
indicators per monitored point is therefore reduced to 508.  
Therefore, the more individual LED indications that the FIP must show for each MXP  
the more logical responders that MXP must represent.  
Every additional 4 zones that must be indicated for the addressable devices on an  
MXP incurs a cost of 1 additional logical responder (i.e. MX4428 responder loop  
address).  
(iii)  
For the same reasons as given in (ii) above, the more individually controllable output  
devices the MXP must drive and control from logic, the more logical responders the  
MXP must represent.

Device Information and Programming  
The standard base for use with the 814 detectors is:  
MUB  
5B  
Minerva Universal Base (4”)  
Minerva Universal Base (5”)  
The following special purpose bases may also be used.  
5BI  
814RB  
Isolator Base  
Relay Base  
814SB  
Sounder Base  
Sounder Base  
MkII Sounder Base  
(802SB, 812SB, 901SB,  
and 912SB)  
The 814RB and 814SB may be plugged into an MUB, 5B or a 5BI, or mounted directly on a  
wall / ceiling.  
Note that none of the bases are addressable devices. The functional bases (814RB, 814SB,  
and MkII Sounder Base) are controlled by the MXP via the detector which is plugged into  
them.  
The devices above marked as “Input/Output” are always inputs, but may also be used as  
outputs via the Remote Indicator output and the signal to the 814RB, 814SB, and MkII  
Sounder Base functional bases. The output functionality is programmable and not  
necessarily related to the input status.  
The devices which have a remote LED output may drive a Tyco E500Mk2 remote LED. The  
functionality of this LED is programmable and it does not necessarily follow the local LED.  
A brief description of the capabilities of each device follows:  
a)  
814I Analogue Ionisation Smoke Detector  
This unit uses an ionisation chamber (with a small radioactive source) to detect airborne  
particles of combustion products.  
b)  
814H Analogue Heat Detector  
This detector incorporates a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor processing may  
be programmed as Type A (rate of rise plus fixed temperature = 63°C), Type B (fixed  
temperature only = 63°C), Type C (rate of rise plus fixed temperature = 93°C), or Type D  
(fixed temperature only = 93°C). Type A, B, C or D operation is programmable at the  
MX4428 panel.  
c)  
814PH Analogue Photoelectric Smoke Detector + Heat Detector  
This unit uses light scattering to detect airborne particles of combustion products, and in  
addition incorporates a temperature sensor. The heat function may be programmed in the  
same way as for the 814H detector.  
d)  
814P Analogue Photoelectric Smoke Detector  
This unit uses light scattering to detect airborne particles of combustion products.

e)  
814CH Analogue CO (Carbon monoxide) Detector + Heat Detector  
This unit uses a special sensor to detect carbon monoxide, and in addition incorporates a  
temperature sensor. The heat function may be programmed in the same way as for the  
814H detector.  
f)  
Mini Input Module MIM800  
This unit has a single input for monitoring clean contacts (e.g. MCPs, flow switches  
conventional detectors with hard contact outputs, relay contacts, switches). As well as  
monitoring the state of the contacts the MIM800 can supervise the wiring for open circuit  
fault and (optionally) short circuit fault.  
g)  
Mini Input Module MIM801  
This unit has a single input for monitoring clean contacts (e.g. MCPs, flow switches,  
conventional detectors with hard contact outputs, relay contacts, switches). As well as  
monitoring the state of the contacts the MIM801 can supervise the wiring for short circuit  
fault and (optionally) open circuit fault. The MIM801 is very similar to the MIM800, however it  
is optimised for normally closed applications and can generate an interrupt on an open  
circuit. (Interrupt is only used when a fast response is required.) (The MIM800 and CIM800  
can also generate interrupts, but only in response to closing contacts.)  
h)  
Contact Input Module CIM800  
This unit has two separate inputs for monitoring switch or relay contacts (e.g. MCPs, flow  
switches, conventional detectors with hard contact outputs, relay contacts, switches). As well  
as monitoring the state of the contacts the CIM800 can supervise the wiring for open circuit  
fault and (optionally) short circuit fault. Although there are two separate inputs, both belong  
to the same point. Either input in alarm will put the point into alarm, and either input in fault  
will put the point into fault. Unused inputs must be terminated with a 200Ω resistor.  
i)  
Detector Input Module DIM800  
This unit has two separate inputs for monitoring conventional detectors. As well as  
monitoring the state of the detectors they can supervise the wiring for open circuit faults.  
Although there are two separate inputs, both belong to the same point. Either input in alarm  
will put the point into alarm, and either input in fault will put the point into fault. An external  
power supply is required. The voltage requirements for some conventional detector types  
are very specific. (Refer to section 3.20).  
j)  
This unit consists of a MIM800 complete with a call point switch and break-glass housing.  
k) New Zealand Call Point Module FP0838, FP0839  
Australian Call Point Module CP820  
This unit consists of a MIM801 complete with a call point switch and break-glass housing.  
FP0838 is flush mounting while FP0839 is surface mounting.  
l)  
Relay Interface Module RIM800  
This unit has voltage free changeover relay contacts rated at 2A 30Vdc for external loads.  
No supervision of load wiring is provided. However the relay position is supervised and a  
“relay checkback fail” fault will be generated if it does not operate.

m)  
Sounder Notification Module SNM800  
This unit has a relay rated at 2A 30Vdc for switching external loads. Supervision of load  
wiring and the load supply is provided. The relay position is supervised and a “relay  
checkback” fault will be generated if it does not operate.  
n)  
Short Circuit Isolator 5BI  
This detector base is designed for isolating short circuited sections of the analog loop. For  
instance it can be used where the loop wiring crosses zone boundaries and it will prevent a  
short circuit from affecting more than one zone. As well as housing a detector it can be used  
with no detector inserted.  
o)  
Sounder Base 814SB and MkII Sounder Base  
These detector bases are designed as low cost warning devices. The MkII Sounder Base is  
a newer version of the 814SB. Some variants are loop powered while others are powered by  
an external supply. The sounder is controlled by the detector which is plugged into the base,  
but the operation of the sounder can be quite separate from the operation of the detector.  
The 814SB can be setup to generate a number of tones (none of which are AS2220 or  
ISO8201 compliant), and three sound levels are selectable.  
The MkII Sounder Base models can be setup to generate a number of tones including  
AS2220 and ISO8201 compliant evacuation tones, and on some models the sound level is  
continuously adjustable. Currently none of the MkII Sounder Base models are SSL listed.  
Note that the current taken by a loop powered sounder base is very much higher than any of  
the other loop devices (except the LPS800), and the number of sounder bases on a loop is  
limited by the available current.  
p)  
Relay Base 814RB  
This detector base is designed for a low cost output device. It is controlled by the detector  
which is plugged into it, but the operation of the relay can be quite separate from the  
operation of the detector. A voltage two pole changeover relay is provided, rated at 1A 30V  
dc.  
q)  
Loop Powered Sounder LPS800  
This device is similar to the SNM800, in that it drives one or more external sounders,  
however the sounder power comes from the loop rather than an external power supply. The  
available output current is much lower than that of a SNM800, and as all this current comes  
from the loop, the number of LPS800s and their load is limited by the available loop current.

Vesda VLC800  
The Vision Systems VLC800-MX VESDA Laser COMPACT is an aspirating smoke detector.  
It samples the smoke from air which is extracted via piping from a large area of a building.  
The sensitivity is adjustable over a wide range at the VLC800 by PC software programme.  
The VLC800 requires a 24V power supply.  
A summary of the electrical specifications of the various devices is shown in Table 3-1.

Table 3-2 Device Quantities and Loading  
The particular combination of device types, external loads, cable length and type may limit  
the total number of devices. This is calculated in the following sections.  
There are two types of load which must be considered - DC and AC. Also if isolator bases  
are used, the loading between each isolator base must be considered.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
Device Information and Programming  
Document: LT0273  
It is recommended that the PC program F4000CAL is used for conducting the loop loading  
calculations. However note that it does not include the isolator base loading, this must be  
done manually.  
3.2.2  
DC LOAD  
The total current available from the MX Loop terminals on the MXP is 400mA DC.  
This must supply operating current to all addressable devices an the loop. This not only  
includes the quiescent current required to power the device electronics, but also the  
additional current drawn by devices in the ALARM state or by associated ALARM LEDs and  
other loop powered outputs.  
The sum of currents for all devices connected to the loop is calculated using the “alarm  
current” values shown in Table 3-2. Note –  
1)  
2)  
The MXP limits the number of Alarm LEDs turned on at any one time to 5  
(programmable at MX4428).  
Remote LEDs must be allowed for at 7mA each. Remote LEDs programmed to follow  
the detector LED will be limited by the number of alarm LEDs. However remote LEDs  
programmed to operate on “Circuit Alarm” or “Relay” will not be limited in any way.  
LEDs on relay output devices (SNM800, RIM800, LPS800) will operate when the  
relay is activated, if the MXP is configured at the MX4428 to flash the LED on Poll  
“Global Blink Mode”.  
3)  
4)  
The 814RB, RIM800 and SNM800 relay load current must not be supplied from the  
analogue loop.  
The sum of all currents must not exceed 400mA.  
Furthermore, the voltage drop in the cable must not exceed 16.0V, regardless of which end  
of the loop the cable is driven from. This is in order to ensure that with the minimum 36V  
voltage available from the MX Loop terminals on the MXP, the minimum voltage at any  
device will be at least 20V.  
If you have any LPS800 devices on the loop, you may need to design for a higher minimum  
loop voltage and a lower voltage drop. Refer to section 3.23.2.  
3.2.3  
AC LOADING  
Calculate the total of the “AC Units” shown in Table 3-2. The total must not exceed 250.  
Also ensure that the cable length does not exceed the values in Table 3-3.

ISOLATOR BASE LOADING  
If isolator bases are being used, calculate the sum of the “IB Units” from Table 3-2 for each  
section of cable between isolator bases (or between the last isolator base and the end of a  
cable spur). Include only one of the detectors at the ends of the section. The sum for any  
section must not exceed 100.  
See also section 4.1.3 for details of AS1670 requirements and section 4.1.4 for details of  
NZS4512 requirements.  
3.2.5  
EXAMPLE  
Consider an MXP monitoring 200 * 814PH detectors with 10 814SB Sounder Bases set to  
High, on a 1300 metre long loop, using 1.5mm2 wire. The cable is divided (with 9 Isolator  
Bases) into 10 segments with 1 Sounder Base and 20 detectors on each segment.  
(i)  
Calculate DC Load  
IA = 195 x 275uA  
+ 5 x 3.0mA  
(No. of detectors in NORMAL)  
(No. of detectors with Alarm LEDs turned on, assume limited to  
5 max by MXP)  
+ 10 x 15mA  
+ 9 x 80uA  
(Number of 814SB Sounder Bases)  
(Number of Isolator Bases)  
= 220mA which is well under 400mA  
For the voltage drop calculation, assume the worst case in the first instance, i.e. that  
all devices are at the far end of 1300 metres. The loop resistance of 1.5mm2 wire is  
25Ω per 1000m and the isolator base resistance is 0.25Ω.  
Total R  
= 25Ω x 1.3 + 9 x 0.25Ω  
= 34.75Ω.  
Voltage drop = 34.75 x 0.220 = 7.7V, which is well under the maximum allowable of  
16V.  
(ii)  
Calculate AC Load  
AC Units  
=
=
200 x 1 (detectors)  
+ 10 x 2.4 (Sounder Bases)  
+ 10 x 0.1 (Isolator Bases)  
225 which is less than the maximum allowable of 250.  
Cable length is well under the limits specified in Table 3-3.  
(iii)  
Calculate IB Load  
IB Units for each section  
= 20 * 1.2 (814PH) + 1 * 2.5 (814SB)  
= 26.5 which is less than 100.  
As all parameters are within the specified limits, the design is satisfactory.

3.3  
OUTPUT CONTROL  
The following “outputs” are available on the Analogue loop –  
Output modules – RIM800, SNM800, and LPS800  
Functional Base outputs of detectors (controlling 814SB, MkII Sounder Base or 814RB)  
Remote LED output of detectors.  
Each of these is programmable at the MX4428 for which of 3 sources controls the output.  
In all cases the outputs are turned off if the point is isolated.  
The 3 selectable sources are as follows –  
1. Relay output  
The output is controlled by the state of the corresponding relay output as sent to the  
responder. The relay output state can be controlled directly with a logic equation, be  
controlled by the state of the ACZ that the relay is mapped to (this also allows supervision  
fault states on the SNM800 and LPS800 output to be indicated), or be controlled by the test  
state of the flow switch zone it is mapped to.  
The functional bases and remote LED outputs for detectors mapped to circuit X of logical  
responder R will be controlled by the state of relay X of logical responder R, i.e. the relay  
with the same number as the detector circuit.  
2. Circuit alarm  
The output will turn on when the corresponding circuit goes into alarm. If the circuit maps to  
a latching zone then the output will turn off when the zone alarm is reset. If the circuit does  
not map to a latching zone the output will turn off when the circuit goes out of alarm. The  
circuit alarm state is determined by the MXP and so can’t include other responder circuits,  
nor the state of the zone(s) the circuit maps to. (Use “relay output” if these are needed.)  
The functional bases and remote LED outputs for detectors will be controlled by the circuit  
the detector is mapped to. Output modules mapped to relay X of logical responder R will be  
controlled by circuit X of logical responder R, i.e. the circuit with the same number as the  
relay.  
WARNING - the output will not be disabled by zone isolate.  
3. Point alarm  
The output will turn on when that point goes into alarm. If the point maps to a latching zone  
then the output will stay on until the zone alarm is reset. If the point does not map to a  
latching zone the output will turn off when the point goes out of alarm.  
This option is not available on output modules (RIM800, SNM800, and LPS800).  
WARNING - the output will not be disabled by zone isolate.

Device Information and Programming  
3.3.1  
PROGRAMMING  
The programming of the output functions is done by setting the “mode” value for the RIM800,  
SNM800, and 814I, and by one of the 7 device parameters for the 814H, 814PH, and  
814CH. The LPS800 is programmed as an SNM800.  
For example the following are the settings for the 814I.

The value must be chosen from the above table to give the desired settings for controlling  
the functional base and the remote LED.  
For the 814PH and 814CH, programming of the “enhancement multiplier” is included in the  
same parameter. The desired enhancement multiplier must be multiplied by 16 and the  
result added to the above numbers. The tables in the sections for these detectors (3.9.3 and  
3.10.3) include the result when the default enhancement multiplier is used.  
For the 814H detector and for an 814PH or 814CH with enhancement disabled, the  
“enhancement multiplier” is irrelevant and therefore the above numbers may be entered  
directly if desired. The global defaults for parameter 6 for all these detector types should  
always include the desired enhancement multiplier * 16.  
For the SNM800, other options are also included in the mode. Refer to section 3.22.4 for  
details.  
3.3.2  
OUTPUT STATE UNDER EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES  
All outputs retain their state if the MX4428 stops polling the responder (e.g. processing is  
stopped), or if the MXP stops polling the devices (e.g. due to a new configuration download  
from the MX4428). If a detector is removed from a relay or sounder base, the relay or  
sounder output turns off.  
If power to the MXP is lost, loop powered sounder bases turn off. RIM800 and SNM800  
outputs, relay bases and possibly externally powered sounder bases usually retain their  
state until MXP power is restored, then turn off when polling resumes (which may take some  
minutes if the MXP has been off for some hours and lost its configuration), then revert to ON  
after a few seconds if this is the correct state.

Device Information and Programming  
Conversion from detector units to displayed values is by imagining a graph with a series of  
joined straight lines from (0,0) and passing through each of the above defined points (e.g.  
814PH 37 det units = 8%) and extrapolated in a continuing straight line past the highest  
point if necessary.  
For the 814PH detector the displayed values bear little resemblance to the static sensitivity  
of the detector. They are valid only for the tests done in the SSL smoke room.

DEVICE INSTALLATION  
3.5.1  
PRECAUTIONS  
Observe ESD precautions when installing an MXP responder, or connecting any devices to  
it. Refer to Product Bulletin PBG0025.  
3.5.2  
MOUNTING  
Detector Bases  
Detectors attach to a circular, plastic base which has holes for screw mounting to a flat  
surface, and screw terminals for connecting the loop wiring. There are various different  
bases available. Most of the bases may only be mounted as just described, but the 814SB  
sounder base and the 814RB relay base may be mounted as just described, or may  
themselves be plugged into one of the other bases, to interpose between it and the detector.  
Modules  
The Modules are normally mounted within the enclosure of the equipment to which they  
connect, or in a cabinet, junction box or switch box. They may be mounted on plastic  
standoffs (4 x HW0130 required) on a gearplate or cabinet, or to a face plate that mounts on  
a double flush or surface box. A hole may be required for the on-board LED. A standard  
plate with a hole for the LED and three holes for the Service Tool is available (Ancillary  
Cover M520). This fits a plastic surface box K2142.  
The MIM800/801 is smaller than the other modules, and is supplied in a plastic housing  
which has a lug for screw mounting.  
3.5.3  
ADDRESS & LED BLINK PROGRAMMING  
Addresses for MX detectors and modules, and options such as LED blink on poll, are most  
easily set using the MX Service Tool. These are set by placing the detector onto the Service  
Tool, or connecting the module to the Service Tool with the supplied interface lead, and  
programming as per the MX Service Tool Instructions. (Be careful not to leave the pins in the  
module when removing the lead).  
For all input devices, including detectors, the LED turns on steady when in alarm. For output  
devices (RIM800, etc) the LED turns on when the device is activated (if Global Blink Mode is  
enabled for the MXP). To enable a device’s LED to blink on poll, the MXP must have Global  
Blink Mode enabled at the MX4428 panel, and the device must have LED Blink enabled.  
For a mixed system, i.e. some devices are to blink on poll and some are not, then turn off  
blink on those devices that are not to blink using the Service Tool, and enable Global Blink  
Mode at the MX4428 panel for the MXP.

MX4428 PROGRAMMING  
In the following sections information is given about the programming of each device in the  
MX4428. An explanation of the mode and the various parameters is given for each device  
type, along with the global parameters that affect that device type. It is critical that only the  
listed mode values are used for each device type, as in many cases the mode value is used  
to define the actual device type. An incorrect mode value may cause a POINT TYPE  
MISMATCH to be generated, or it may just render a device not able to work.  
In some of the following sections descriptions are given about changing the sensitivity for a  
detector by altering the specific parameter for that detector. This is correct (it sets the value  
for just that individual detector), but in many cases it may be better to adjust the global  
sensitivity for that device type so that all detectors of that type take on the new value. For  
example, in NZ mode it is recommended that the global heat alarm temperature be set to  
57°C for both 814PH and 814CH, rather than setting each specific detector to this value.  
Details for NZ mode settings are contained in the F4000 NZ Technical Manual (LT0126).  
These details are most relevant when programming the MX4428 from a (dumb)  
programming terminal. Alternatively you can program with "SmartConfig", which displays  
and edits functional parameters and takes care of mapping the functional parameters into  
the appropriate mode and parameter bytes for each device type.

814H HEAT DETECTOR  
3.7.1  
GENERAL  
The 814H is an analogue thermal detector. The detector senses the air temperature and  
sends this value to the MXP. The MXP makes any decisions as to whether this is an alarm,  
fault, normal or whatever. The MXP can be programmed (at the MX4428 panel) to interpret  
the values to implement a Type A, Type B, Type C, or Type D Heat Detector. The integral  
LED is turned on by the MXP when an alarm is detected.  
The 814H has a temperature sensing range of -25°C to 95°C. The approved operating  
temperature range is -10°C to +70°C. The accuracy of the 814H (as interpreted by the  
MXP), within the range 0°C to 70°C, is typically + / - 2°C.  
The remote LED and functional base outputs are programmable for their functionality (refer  
to section 3.3).

MX4428 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS - 814H  
The programming values for the 814H are described in the following tables.  
“Mode” enables or disables rate of rise processing. Mode = 4 selects type A/C (heat rate of  
rise enabled), and mode = 5 selects type B/D (heat rate of rise disabled). Only select one of  
these two values. (Note that when rate of rise is disabled, the parameters relating to rate of  
rise are ignored - there is no need to adjust them.)  
For type C and D operation set the heat fixed temperature alarm threshold (Parameter 1) to  
93 (°C).  
Parameter 0 may be adjusted to select a different Pre-Alarm temperature.  
For special purposes, the fixed temperature alarm threshold may be set to any value  
between 60 and 93 for Australia, and between 50 and 80 for New Zealand. In New Zealand  
also set the global parameter “8XX HEAT SL1” to (the highest alarm temperature - 20) / 10  
(rounded up if the result is fractional).  
For functional base and remote LED programming set Parameter 6 as per the table. Refer  
The remaining parameters should not need changing.

814I IONISATION SMOKE DETECTOR  
3.8.1  
GENERAL  
The 814I is an ionisation smoke detector. The detector senses the amount of smoke present  
and sends this value to the MXP. The MXP makes any decisions as to whether this is an  
alarm, fault, normal or whatever. The integral LED is turned on by the MXP when an alarm is  
detected.  
The remote LED and functional base outputs are programmable for their functionality (refer  
to section 3.3).

MX4428 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS - 814I  
The programmable values for the 814I are explained in the following table.  
Normally only the mode needs to be programmed, and then only if a functional base or  
remote LED is required and its operation is different from the default. Refer to section 3.3.  
In some cases the alarm sensitivity (Parameter 1) may need to be changed from the default.  
The approved range for Australia is 0.22 MIC X (23) to 0.39 MIC X ( 66). The available range  
is 0.22 MIC X (23) to 0.59 MIC X (130). If the alarm sensitivity is changed, the pre-alarm  
sensitivity (Parameter 0) should normally be changed to about 75% of the alarm sensitivity.  
The remaining parameters should not need changing.

3.9.1  
GENERAL  
The 814PH is a photoelectric smoke detector which also includes a temperature sensor. The  
detector senses the amount of smoke present and the temperature and sends these values  
to the MXP. The MXP makes any decisions as to whether this is an alarm, fault, normal or  
whatever, based on the smoke level, temperature, or rate of rise of temperature, and/or a  
combination of these. The integral LED is turned on by the MXP when an alarm is detected.  
Refer to the specifications of the 814H for more details on the heat sensing element of the  
814PH.  
The 814P is the same as the 814PH, except that it has no temperature sensor.  
The remote LED and functional base outputs are programmable for their functionality (refer

MX4428 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS - 814PH/814P  
In the MX4428 programming there are two different device types that use the 814PH/814P  
detector. Type 16 814PH is used when the 814PH is used with the SmartSense algorithm  
and type 27 814PHFL is used when the FastLogic algorithm is required. These different  
device types allow the MX4428 to have separate sensitivity settings for the algorithms and  
for the sensitivities to be displayed correctly.  
However, the mode value actually defines to the MXP which algorithm is to be used.  
Mode values 0 – 7 must only be used with a device type of 814PH, and mode values 8 – 15  
must only be used with a device type of 814PHFL. Do not use an incorrect mode, as the  
values displayed at the MX4428 will not match those being used or generated at the MXP.  
The 814P must be programmed as an 814PH, with no heat. I.e. only modes 7 and 13 are  
allowed. The MX4428 will display the point type as 814PH.  
The programmable values for the 814PH and 814P are described in the following tables.

The mode selects the detection mode for the detector - smoke only, enhanced smoke, heat  
enabled or disabled, heat rate of rise enabled or disabled, smoke detection algorithm is  
SmartSense or FastLogic, etc. Note that when a particular function is disabled by the setting  
of the mode, the parameters relating to that function are not used and should therefore be  
left with their default settings.  
Parameter 1 selects the smoke alarm threshold.  
With the SmartSense algorithm, the actual alarm threshold is selected as per the table. The  
approved range is 8%/m (Parameter 1 = 37) to 12%/m (Parameter 1 = 80).  
With the FastLogic algorithm Parameter 1 values of 0, 1, or 2 will select Low, Medium, or  
High sensitivity respectively. Any other value will select the sensitivity defined in the global  
parameter 8XXPH FUZZY ALGORITHM. Parameter 1 can usually be left at its default  
setting for all detectors and those detectors with their mode set to FastLogic will then use the  
setting in the global parameter 8XXPH FUZZY ALGORITHM. All three FastLogic sensitivities  
are SSL approved and all have a nominal sensitivity of 8% / m.  
Parameter 3 may be adjusted to vary the fixed temperature alarm threshold. It may be set to  
any value between 60 and 65 in Australia, and between 50 and 65 in New Zealand.  
Parameter 2 may be adjusted to select a different Pre-Alarm temperature.  
Parameter 6 selects the functional base and remote LED output operation (refer to section  
3.3) and the “enhancement multiplier” which should normally be left at the default value (12).  
The remaining parameters should not need changing.

3.10 814CH CARBON MONOXIDE + HEAT DETECTOR  
3.10.1  
GENERAL  
The 814CH is a carbon monoxide (CO) detector which also includes a temperature sensor.  
The detector senses the amount of CO present and the temperature and sends these values  
to the MXP. The MXP makes any decisions as to whether this is an alarm, fault, normal or  
whatever, based on the CO level, temperature, or rate of rise of temperature, and/or a  
combination of these. The integral LED is turned on by the MXP when an alarm is detected.  
Refer to the specifications of the 814H for more details on the heat sensing element of the  
814CH.  
The remote LED and functional base outputs are programmable for their functionality (refer  
to section 3.3).

MX4428 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS - 814CH  
The programmable values for the 814CH are described in the following tables.  
The mode selects the detection mode for the detector - CO only, enhanced CO, heat  
enabled or disabled, heat rate of rise enabled or disabled, etc. Note that when a particular  
function is disabled by the setting of the mode, the parameters relating to that function are  
not used and should therefore be left with their default settings.  
Parameter 1 selects the CO alarm threshold. Some possible settings are shown in the table.  
Note the alternate setting of 66ppm is not an SSL listed setting for an ionisation detector (the  
814CH was SSL tested using the tests for an ionisation detector under AS1603.2, as at the  
time there was no approved standard for CO detector). Although this setting is acceptable  
for a CO detector it should only be used for special applications where installation conditions  
exclude other smoke detectors and yet the background CO level may be higher than normal.  
At this sensitivity the background CO level should not exceed 30ppm.  
Parameter 3 may be adjusted to vary the fixed temperature alarm threshold. It may be set to  
any value between 60 and 65 in Australia.  
Parameter 2 may be adjusted to select a different Pre-Alarm temperature.  
Parameter 6 selects the functional base and remote LED output operation (refer to section  
3.3) and the “enhancement multiplier” which should normally be left at the default value (12).

REMOTE INDICATOR WIRING  
A remote indicator may be wired to an MUB, Relay Base, or Sounder Base as shown for  
example in Figure 3.1.  
A single Remote Indicator may be wired up to a number of detector bases, so that it turns on  
if any one of the detectors turns it on. The R terminals of the detectors involved should be  
looped together.  
This common group must not include an isolator base or extend across an isolator base.  
The brightness may increase slightly if more than one detector turns on the remote indicator.

5BI ISOLATOR BASE  
3.12.1  
GENERAL  
The 5BI base is designed for isolating short circuited sections of the analog loop. For  
instance it can be used where the loop wiring crosses zone boundaries to prevent a short  
circuit from affecting more than one zone. When isolator bases are used, it is strongly  
recommended that two additional isolator bases (possibly with no detectors inserted) be  
installed at the start and end of the loop, close to the MXP.  
Isolator bases may also be used to join multiple lines together in a single star arrangement,  
for example when a number of conventionally wired zones are being converted to MX and a  
loop cannot be wired.  
Refer to section 4.1 for more details on the analog loop configuration.  
There is a limit to the number of other devices which may be connected on the section of  
cable between isolator bases. Calculate the sum of the “IB Units” from Table 3-2 for each  
section of cable. The sum for each section must not exceed 100.  
A section of cable is the portion between isolator bases or between an isolator base and the  
MXP, or if a star configuration or tee is being used, between an isolator base and the end of  
the cable.

814RB RELAY BASE  
3.13.1  
GENERAL  
The 814RB detector base is designed as a low cost output device. The relay is controlled by  
the detector which is plugged into the base, but the operation of the relay can be quite  
separate from the operation of the detector. (Refer to section 3.3.)  
The 814RB Relay Base provides two sets of volt-free, change-over contacts capable of  
switching ancillary equipment rated at up to 1A resistive @ 30Vdc. One set is labelled NO,  
C, NC (for normally open, common, and normally closed.) The other set is labelled 1 for NC,  
2 for C, and 3 for NO. The terminals accept a single cable of up to 2.5 sqmm. Relay  
operation is controlled by the MX4428 via an output from the detector. Hence, a detector  
must be fitted to the base in order for the relay to operate as the relay base does not have  
its own address.  
The 814RB may be plugged into a MUB standard base, 5B standard base, or 5BI isolator  
base, or mounted directly on the ceiling or wall.

814SB SOUNDER BASE  
3.14.1  
GENERAL  
The 814SB detector base is designed as a low cost warning device. One of three different  
tones may be selected (none of which are AS2220 compliant), and three sound levels are  
selectable. Note that the current taken by a sounder base is very much higher than most  
other loop devices, and the number of sounder bases on a loop is limited by the available  
current.  
The sounder is controlled by the detector which is plugged into the base, but the operation of  
the sounder can be quite separate from the operation of the detector. (Refer to section 3.3.)  
The tone switch allows selection of one of three different tones –  
1 - continuous tone (825Hz)  
2 - fast sweep (saw tooth envelope at 15Hz)  
3 - slow sweep (saw tooth envelope at 5Hz) (Factory Setting)  
The volume switch provides three different levels of loudness:  
1 - 70dB(A) (quiet)  
2 - 80 dB(A) (medium)  
3 - 90 dB(A) (loud) (Factory Setting)  
The 814SB may be plugged into a MUB standard base, 5B standard base, or 5BI isolator  
base, or mounted directly on the ceiling or wall.

MKII SOUNDER BASE  
3.15.1  
GENERAL  
The MkII Sounder Base is a range of detector bases which are designed as low cost warning  
devices, some of which are loop powered and others are externally powered. The sounder is  
controlled by the detector which is plugged into the base, but the operation of the sounder  
can be quite separate from the operation of the detector. (Refer to section 3.3.)  
The MkII Sounder Bases cannot be plugged into other bases. They must be mounted  
directly on the ceiling or wall.  
At the time of writing, the MkII Sounder Bases are not SSL approved to AS4428. However  
they may be used for supplementary local sounders.

and 912SB wiring is similar, but they also require a 24V connection. Refer to the installation  
sheet supplied with these bases.  
For the 901SB and 912SB, it is recommended that the external supply covers only one zone,  
or the power wiring be arranged so that an open circuit in the power feed cannot affect more  
than one zone. A loop arrangement with supervision and a reverse-feed relay can be used to  
achieve this - refer to Product Bulletin PBF0200.

MIM800 AND MIM801 MINI INPUT MODULES  
3.16.1  
GENERAL  
The MIM800 and MIM801 Mini Input Modules are suitable for interfacing voltage free  
contacts such as switches, relay contacts, flow switches, or non-indicating detectors.  
Dedicated Manual Call Point products are available that have the MIM800 or MIM801  
mounted on the back of an MCP. Refer to sections 3.18 and 3.19.  
Both the MIM800 and MIM801 may be used in normally open or normally closed  
configurations, and the normally open configuration may or may not include short circuit fault  
monitoring. Refer to Figure 3.4 for wiring topology.  
The normal response time to an input change of state is 0 – 5 seconds, as each device is  
polled at 5 second intervals by the MXP. If faster operation is required, interrupt operation  
can be enabled. Interrupt operation allows a change to be signalled by the device so that the  
MXP detects the change immediately, rather than waiting for the next poll of the device.  
To interrupt on closing contacts, the MIM800 is required. To interrupt on opening contacts,  
the MIM801 is required. An interrupt can be generated on only the transition from normal to  
alarm, transitions from alarm to normal will always require up to 5 seconds to be recognised.  
Fault supervision is provided by a 200Ω EOL resistor - open circuit fault in a normally open  
configuration and short circuit fault in a normally closed configuration. In addition the  
normally open configuration can be programmed to also generate fault on short circuit. In  
this case only one alarm contact is allowed, a 100Ω resistor must be wired in series with the  
alarm contacts, and the fault threshold must be specially programmed. (Set Parameter 2 to  
176 for a MIM800 and parameter 5 to 40 for a MIM801).  
The input wiring should be limited to less than 10m in length and located well away from all  
electrical noise sources.  
Recognition of a fault condition takes about 30 seconds.  
The MIM800 and MIM801 have screw terminals for an Alarm Indicator LED. No series  
resistor is required. A current of about 2.5mA will be supplied when the LED is on.

CIM800 CONTACT INPUT MODULE  
3.17.1  
GENERAL  
The CIM800 Contact Input Module is suitable for interfacing voltage free contacts, e.g.  
switches, relay contacts, flow switches, or non-indicating detectors. It has two inputs, the  
state of which are ORed together to generate the point status. Therefore unused inputs must  
be terminated with the EOL resistor.  
The CIM800 may be used in normally open or normally closed configurations, and the  
normally open configuration may or may not include short circuit fault monitoring. Refer to  
Figure 3.5 for wiring topology.  
The normal response time to an input change of state is 0 – 5 seconds, as each device is  
polled at 5 second intervals by the MXP. If faster operation is required, interrupt operation  
can be enabled. Interrupt operation allows a change to be signalled by the device so that the  
MXP detects the change immediately, rather than waiting for the next poll of the device.  
The CIM800 can only interrupt on “closing” contacts, and interrupt operation is only  
applicable for normally open contacts. Transitions from closed to open will always require up  
to 5 seconds to be recognised. Therefore it cannot be used for callpoints on NZ systems.  
Fault supervision is provided by default with a 200Ω EOL resistor - open circuit fault in a  
normally open configuration and short circuit fault in a normally closed configuration. In  
addition the normally open configuration can be programmed to also generate fault on short  
circuit. In this case only one alarm contact is allowed, a 100Ω resistor must be wired in  
series with the alarm contacts, and the fault threshold must be specially programmed - set  
Parameter 2 to 176.  
Recognition of a fault condition takes about 30 seconds.

CP820 MANUAL CALL POINT  
3.18.1  
GENERAL  
The CP820 Manual Call Point consists of a MIM800 mounted on a Break Glass Switch  
assembly. The MIM800 is factory programmed with a different type-id to allow the CP820 to  
be distinguished from a generic MIM800.  
The normal response time to an input change of state is 0 – 5 seconds, as each device is  
polled at 5 second intervals by the MXP. If faster operation is required, interrupt operation  
can be enabled. Interrupt operation allows a change to be signalled by the device so that the  
MXP detects the change immediately, rather than waiting for the next poll of the device.  
The CP820 is made without an EOL resistor and no wiring fault monitoring is provided as all  
the wiring is internal.  
The CP820 device processing will not use AVF, even if it is enabled for the circuit the CP820  
is allocated to.

FP0838 / FP0839 MANUAL CALL POINTS  
3.19.1  
GENERAL  
The FP0838 and FP0839 Manual Call Points consist of a MIM801 mounted on an 1841  
Break Glass Switch assembly. They are designed for normally closed contacts as is required  
in New Zealand.  
The normal response time to an input change of state is 0 – 5 seconds, as each device is  
polled at 5 second intervals by the MXP. As faster operation is required in New Zealand,  
interrupt operation should be enabled for the MIM801. Interrupt operation allows a change  
to be signalled by the device so that the MXP detects the change immediately, rather than  
waiting for the next poll of the device. Default programming of the MIM801 selects open  
circuit alarm and interrupt operation.  
The FP0838 and FP0839 Call Points include a LED visible from the front. This lights on  
alarm and can be programmed to blink when the MIM801 is polled. Operation is otherwise  
as for the MIM801.

DIM800 DETECTOR INPUT MONITOR  
3.20.1  
GENERAL  
The DIM800 Detector Input Module is suitable for interfacing conventional non-addressable  
detectors e.g. heat detectors, smoke detectors, beam detectors, etc, onto the MXP loop.  
Alarm and o/c fault conditions are determined by the MXP. An alarm can be recognised  
within 5 seconds if AVF is not enabled for the circuit, or 15-20 seconds if AVF is enabled.  
Recognition of a fault condition takes about 30 seconds.  
The DIM800 has two inputs, the state of which are ORed to generate the point status.  
Therefore unused inputs must be terminated with the correct EOL.  
The DIM800 provides electrical isolation of the detector circuit(s) from the MXP loop.  
The DIM800 requires an external supply to power the detector circuit and the module itself. If  
external power is not provided the DIM800 will not respond to polls and a NODE FAIL fault  
will be indicated. The voltage of the external supply at the DIM800 is critical to ensure  
compatibility with particular detectors. Refer to Table 3-4.  
The external supply cannot be derived from the MXP loop or the MX4428 responder loop,  
and in some cases cannot be taken from the MX4428 main power supply. Where the voltage  
range is critical, it is recommended that a dedicated power supply and battery be used. The  
voltage drop in the wiring from the power supply to the DIM800 must be calculated to ensure  
the supply voltage at the DIM800 is within specification. If multiple DIM800s are on the same  
cable, then the maximum current drawn by each DIM800 (e.g. input short circuit) must be  
used.  
The external supply must comply with AS4428.1 and AS4428.5 and should be set to 27.3V  
by default. The wiring from a common PSU to multiple DIM800 modules must be arranged  
so that a single open circuit does not prevent alarms from being generated in more than one  
zone. A loop arrangement with supervision and a reverse-feed relay can be used to achieve  
this - refer to Product Bulletin PBF0200.  
If the detector itself requires a 24V power supply that needs to be switched off to reset the  
detector, e.g. some beam detectors, refer to Product Bulletin PBF0213 for a suitable  
arrangement. Do not use the SW+ and SW- terminals available on early DIM800 models.  
Field wiring of the DIM800 is shown in Figure 3.6. The wiring instructions for the particular  
detector/base must be referred to as some detectors break the negative line, and others the  
positive line, when the detector is removed.

SNM800 SOUNDER NOTIFICATION MODULE  
3.22.1  
GENERAL  
The SNM800 Sounder Notification Module is suitable for relay outputs which require  
supervision of the load wiring and optional supervision of the DC power supply (if any).  
When inactive, a reverse polarity supervision voltage is applied to the load wiring. The load  
devices must therefore have internal or external reverse blocking diodes.  
The load supervision can detect short and open circuit states on the load wiring only when  
the relay is inactive.  
The 24V DC supply may be supervised.  
The load must be isolated from ground and all voltage sources. All inductive loads (e.g. bells  
or relays) must have back-emf diodes or other noise clamping devices fitted.  
Recognition of a fault condition takes about 30 seconds.

3.23.1  
GENERAL  
The LPS800 Loop Powered Sounder Module is suitable for 24V DC outputs powered by the  
MX Loop. It can supply up to 75mA at 24VDC.  
When inactive, a reverse polarity supervision is applied to the load wiring. The load devices  
must therefore have reverse blocking diodes.  
The load supervision can detect short and open circuit states on the load wiring only when  
the output is inactive.  
The load must be isolated from ground and all voltage sources. All inductive loads (e.g. bells  
or relays) must have back-emf diodes or other noise clamping devices fitted.

Note that the LPS800 has a minimum voltage drop of 2V between the line voltage and the  
output terminals. When the loop voltage is less than 26V, the output voltage may be less  
than 24V. At the minimum loop voltage of 20V, only 18V will be available for the sounder  
devices. From this you must subtract the voltage drop in the wiring to the sounder devices to  
obtain the voltage at the sounder device terminals. You must ensure the sounder devices  
operate correctly at this voltage.  
Alternatively you must design the loop so that the minimum voltage is higher than 20V and  
sufficient to give the required voltage at the sounder terminals. Refer to section 3.2.2 for loop  
voltage drop calculations.  
The load must be isolated from ground and all supplies.

VLC-800MX VESDA LASERCOMPACT  
3.24.1  
GENERAL  
The VLC800 is a derivative of the standard VESDA LaserCOMPACT product family, with the  
primary difference that it communicates directly on the MX loop.  
VESDA LaserCOMPACT detectors provide very early warning of potential fire conditions by  
drawing air samples through 25mm pipe up to 80m long. Smoke is sampled through holes in  
the pipe and transported to the detector by an integrated aspirator or fan. Holes are  
positioned according to the application and often follow the spacing of standard conventional  
point detectors. Where necessary, sampling points can be constructed using capillary  
extensions.  
The VLC800 alarm sensitivity can be set to between 0.005% obscuration / m and 20%  
obscuration / m. A PC plugged into the VLC800 is required to set the sensitivity, to normalise  
the airflow, and perform other setup functions. The sensitivity is NOT controlled at the  
MX4428.  
Refer to Tyco Safety Products UK publication 17A-03-VLC for further details on installing,  
commissioning and servicing the VLC-800.

The only programmable items for the VLC800 are  
1. The pre alarm threshold.  
2. The source of the remote LED output.  
3. The source of the onboard relay output and external relay output (they operate  
together).  
The VLC800 shares default values with the 814H, 814PH, and 814PHFL. However the alarm  
threshold is fixed at 100 regardless of any default setting. The default pre alarm setting of 68  
translates to 68% of the alarm value which although a suitable value, can be changed if  
required.

AVF / RAD / SAD / FLOWSWITCH DELAYS  
AVF/RAD or SAD or FLOWSWITCH or AVF/SAD may be configured for a “circuit” and will  
apply to all input devices on the circuit except CP820 devices, and MIM801 devices with  
“interrupt” enabled.  
3.25.1  
AVF/RAD  
Note that AVF is usually unnecessary on the addressable detectors as the built in filtering  
already provides significant protection against false alarms. AVF provides an additional time  
delay to verify that the alarm is still present at the end of the AVF delay. It operates as  
follows –

SAD  
All devices on circuits set up as “SAD” at the MX4428 have the “return to normal” signalled  
to the MX4428 delayed by 60 seconds. If the state goes back into alarm during this time, the  
timer will be reset.  
3.25.3  
AVF/SAD  
All devices on circuits set up as “AVF/SAD” at the MX4428 delay into alarm as per AVF/RAD  
and delay out of alarm as per SAD.  
3.25.4  
FLOWSWITCH  
All devices on circuits set up as “Flowswitch” at the MX4428 have the alarm signalled to the  
MX4428 delayed by 15, 30, or 60 seconds (depending on the MX4428 programming). If the  
state goes out of alarm during the delay time, the timer will be reset.

Analog Loop Design Considerations  
Document: LT0273  
4.1  
ANALOGUE LOOP CONFIGURATION SELECTION  
4.1.1  
LINES & LOOPS  
The interface between the MXP and its addressable devices requires two wires.  
The MXP has two lines (“left” and “right”) which are designed to be connected in a loop.  
The LOOP configuration is generally preferred and indeed will often be mandatory for  
compliance with standards as discussed below.  
However the MXP can be used to connect to multiple lines in a star configuration. Dual line  
mode is not supported.  
4.1.2  
LOOP FAULT TOLERANCE  
Standards require that a line/loop fault condition cause minimal disruption to the system's  
ability to detect and transmit alarms to the Fire Panel. The MXP achieves this in the  
following way .....  
The MXP has access to each device from both ends of the loop. The loop is normally  
sourced from “left” and monitored at the “right” terminals. Disappearance of 40V power at the  
“right” end, due to an open circuit FAULT on either the + or – wires, can be detected  
(causing a FAULT event to be sent to the MX4428 Master) and corrected by switching the  
Line driver onto the “right” terminals. The LOOP mode is therefore inherently fault tolerant to  
any one open circuit on any one of the 2 wires.  
However, a short circuit on the loop will, in general, cause the MXP to loose communication  
with all devices. Thus it is recommended that isolator bases be used to minimise the loss  
due to a short.  
When designing fire alarm systems, the designer should be aware of any local statutory  
requirements, as well as those of AS1670.1 and NZS4512.  
4.1.3  
AS1670.1 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS  
Australian Standard AS1670.1 sections 3.1 and 3.2 require the analogue loop to comply with  
the following:  
The maximum number of actuating devices (i.e. detectors and input modules) in an  
alarm zone shall not exceed 40.  
A single short circuit shall not disable more than 40 devices connected to the MXP  
loop/line. This means than if more than 40 devices are to be connected to an MXP, short  
circuit isolators must be used. The count of 40 includes conventional detectors  
connected to a DIM800 or other ancillary input device  
4.1.4  
NZS4512 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS  
Isolator Bases must be fitted between zones (or on the first device either side of a zone  
boundary) so that a single short circuit or break will affect no more than one zone.  
In many cases the tones produced by the 814SB sounder base are not acceptable.  
Refer to NZS4512 for detailed requirements.

LINE MODE  
The MXP is designed to run in LOOP mode only. The dual line mode of the MPR is not  
supported. However a star configuration can be used, refer to section 4.2.3.  
4.2.2  
LOOP DESIGN WITH SHORT CIRCUIT ISOLATORS  
There are two main reasons for using isolator bases on the analogue loop.  
(i)  
When the MXP powers up a line/loop, it will only have to power up one section of the  
line/loop at a time, reducing the power required by the MXP from the MX4428 supply  
loop during startup.  
(ii)  
If the loop is shorted then the MXP will loose communication with only those devices  
on the shorted section between 2 isolators. If every detector was mounted on an  
isolator base, then all detectors would remain functional in the event of a single short  
circuit.  
Refer to Figure 4.1 for an example of loop wiring with Isolator Bases.

Figure 4.1 Loop with Isolator Bases  
Note 1: Although it is not essential to have Isolator Bases between the MXP and the first /  
last device on the loop, greater protection is provided by doing so. It is recommended that  
the cable between the MXP line terminals and the adjacent Isolator Bases should be kept as  
short as possible, and have no devices attached to it. These Isolator Bases could be located  
at the MXP without detectors plugged into them.  
Note 2: The maximum number of devices between Isolator Bases is 100 or less depending  
on the devices. Refer to section 3.2.4.  
Note 3: The M and L2 connections are interchangeable.

Analog Loop Design Considerations  
4.2.3  
STAR CONNECTION OF ANALOGUE LINES  
It is not always necessary to connect addressable systems as loops, especially if an existing  
conventional detector system is being converted to addressable detectors. As the existing  
detector zone cables probably already terminate at the main panel, it is possible to connect  
these in a star connection to the MXP as shown in Figure 4.2.  
The two line terminals should be joined together as shown in Figure 4.2. The total length of  
cable connected to the MXP should not exceed 2000m.  
Because shorting the cable in one line will short out all the other lines connected to the same  
MXP, it is recommended that 5BI Isolator Bases be fitted at the start of each line and then  
placed every 20 - 40 devices along each line. (Refer to section 3.2.4 for the calculations to  
determine where the isolator bases must be positioned.) The cabling from the MXP to the  
initial Isolator Bases should be as short as possible. In fact 5BI Isolator bases without  
detectors can be used at the star junction point.  
Note: The Star Connection is not recommended for new installations. A loop configuration  
should be used as it offers open circuit fault protection and with Isolator Bases, short circuit  
protection.  
4.2.4  
SPURS  
Both the loop topography described in section 4.2.2 and the star topography described in  
Any such spur should be connected to the loop or its parent spur with an isolator base.  
However spurs are not recommended for new installations as an open circuit will disconnect  
all detectors further away from the MXP than the open circuit, and a short circuit on a spur  
will disconnect the whole spur.  
In any case, to comply with standards, all the detectors on a spur should be in the same  
zone.

4.7  
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS  
Although the MXP loop has been designed for minimum electrical interference, it is still  
capable of both picking up and generating electrical interference. The longer the loop the  
greater the potential problems. Each analogue loop must be considered on its own merits,  
taking into account possible noise sources along the loop's proposed routing. Normal  
engineering practice applies, such as keeping the loop wiring separate from other wiring,  
especially power cables, speaker cables, leaky coaxial cable and noise sensitive cables for  
audio systems.  
In extreme cases it may be necessary to implement the analogue loop as a screened pair,  
with the screen connected to the metal case at the MXP only.

MXP Current Consumption  
Document: LT0273  
5.1  
THEORY  
The MXP current consumption is considerably higher than that of the other responders (even  
higher than the MPR, in fact it can be considerably higher than the MPR depending on the  
sounder load). It must be carefully considered when engineering the MX4428 responder  
loop.  
Use of the F4000CAL PC program is strongly recommended as it performs the following  
calculations automatically.  
A formula for predicting the MXP current is.....  
I(mA) = (ITOT(mA) * (40V / VIN) * ( 1 / PCE) ) + (IQ(mA) * (24V / VIN))  
Where .....  
PCE  
IQ  
=
=
Power converter efficiency = 0.80  
MXP quiescent current at 24V = 50mA.  
ITOT =  
Total current sourced into the AL and AR terminals, which can  
be calculated as shown in Section 3.2.2  
VIN  
=
MX4428 Responder Loop voltage  
5.1.1  
ALARM CURRENT  
The alarm current calculated for all responders can be calculated and used to ensure that  
1)  
2)  
The total current to be sourced from the MX4428 does not exceed 2.0A  
No responder will see a supply voltage of less than 17V, allowing for the minimum  
battery voltage at the MX4428 and voltage drops in the responder loop wiring.  
Once MXP currents are calculated, the voltage drops around the responder loop can be  
calculated. This will give a more accurate figure for the operating voltage of each MXP which  
will result in a slightly different current consumption. The full calculation is an iterative  
process when performed manually, and it is recommended that the PC program F4000CAL  
is used.  
Taking the example from section 3.2.5, where the alarm current was calculated at 221mA,  
the MXP supply current at (22V) will be  
I(mA) = (ITOT(mA) * (40V / VIN) * ( 1 / PCE) ) + (IQ(mA) * (24V / VIN))  
= (221 * (40 / 22) * (1 / 0.8)) + (50 * (24 / 22))  
= 502mA + 55mA  
= 557mA.  
This current, together with the load of other responders on the MX4428 responder loop, can  
be used to calculate the voltage drops on the responder loop power wiring, and possibly  
refine the value used for the MXP supply voltage (22V above). The calculations can be  
performed iteratively until little change is evident.

MX4428 MXP Engineering /Technical Manual  
MXP Current Consumption  
It is of interest to recalculate the current consumption assuming for example the supply  
voltage is only 17.0V (the minimum operating voltage of the MXP). In this case the  
consumption is increased to 721mA. It can be seen that if the responder loop power wiring  
has too much resistance, the voltage to the responders is reduced by their current  
consumption, which results in them requiring even more current and compounding the  
problem.  
5.1.2  
QUIESCENT CURRENT  
The quiescent current of all responders can be calculated and used to ensure there is  
enough battery capacity and supply current at the MX4428.  
The quiescent current for the MX loop is calculated as in section 3.2.2, but using the  
quiescent current instead of the alarm current. Then the MXP supply current can be  
calculated as described in section 5.1. Once again iterative calculations may be required to  
adjust for the responder loop voltage drop.  
5.1.3  
HEAT LOSS  
The heat loss from the MXP PCB can be calculated as follows –  
W = ITOT(mA) * 40V * ( 1 - PCE) / PCE + IQ(mA) * 24V  
Where .....  
W
=
=
=
Heat loss in milliwatts  
PCE  
IQ  
Power converter efficiency = 0.80  
MXP quiescent current = 50mA at 24V.  
ITOT =  
Total current sourced into the AL and AR terminals, which can  
be calculated as shown in Section 3.2.2  
Using the above figures, the equation simplifies to  
W(mW) = ITOT(mA) * 10V + 1200mW  
This can be calculated separately for quiescent and alarm conditions, depending on whether  
quiescent or alarm figures are used to calculate IQ.  
The maximum possible heat loss is 5.2 watts.

*HH percent will indicate whichever of Temperature, Rate of Rise, or Smoke/CO has been  
highest, in terms of the percentage of its alarm threshold. It will be rounded to the nearest  
5%, and the last digit will indicate which type it represents. A last digit of 0 or 5 indicates  
smoke or CO. A last digit of 1 or 6 indicates temperature, and a last digit of 2 or 7 indicates  
temperature rate of rise.  
For example, 51 will indicate that temperature has been highest at 48-52% of the alarm  
threshold. 65 will indicate smoke/CO has been highest, at 63-67% of the alarm threshold.  
For temperature 20°C will be 0% and the alarm limit 100%.  
All History High and History Low values (where used as maximum and minimum) will be  
based on Step Limited values i.e. the same values as are used for alarm comparison.  
However note that PreAlarm comparisons are performed using “CV”, i.e. values without Step  
Limited filtering. Therefore a PreAlarm may occur even though the “History High” value is  
less than the PreAlarm Threshold.

MXP Technical Description  
Document: LT0273  
7.1  
GENERAL  
The MXP has two major functions:  
(i)  
To provide an interface to an MX4428 responder (communications/power) loop, via  
which data gathered by the MXP may be transferred to the MX4428 Master for  
display, annunciation, and processing as appropriate.  
(ii)  
To provide an interface to the Analogue Loop. Data retrieved from the devices  
connected to the Analogue Loop is processed to determine the ALARM/NORMAL/  
FAULT status of each device, and this data is passed on to the MX4428 Master via  
the MX4428 Loop Interface. The Analogue Loop interface also allows outputs to be  
sent to those devices that support them, to initiate device tests, activate relays, etc.  
The MXP is implemented as one printed circuit board (1901-213).

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
MXP Technical Description  
7.2  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
7.2.1  
BLOCK DIAGRAM  
A block diagram of the MXP is given in Figure 7.1.  
The MXP can be divided into 4 sections:  
(i)  
The microprocessor and memory. This is the "heart" of the MXP.  
(ii)  
The power supply. The power supply produces the 40V isolated supply for the  
Analogue Loop and also the 5V isolated supply for the microprocessor.  
(iii)  
(iv)  
The MX4428 Loop Interface. The Loop Interface contains the connect, disconnect  
circuitry for the MX4428 Loop Power Supply and also the serial data driver circuits.  
The Analogue Loop Interface. This section contains the Loop Driver/ Receiver circuit  
and the Loop Isolator circuits.  
7.2.2  
MICROPROCESSOR & LOGIC CIRCUITRY  
The MXP is controlled by the 68302 Microprocessor CPU (U1). Connected to the CPU bus  
is the FLASH (U2) which contains the MXP software, and the RAM (U3 and U4) which is  
used for storing parameters and data associated with devices on the Analogue Loop.  
The 68302 includes a communications processor with 3 serial ports. These are used for the  
2 responder loop ports and a diagnostic port.  
To reduce the number of components on the PCB, a PAL (Programmable Array Logic) (U5)  
is used to generate bus signals such as RD-, L WR-, and U WR-. It also drives the status  
LED and is used to read some of the DIP switches.  
Both the FLASH (U2) and PAL (U5) are factory programmed for use in the MXP. However  
the FLASH (U2) can easily be reprogrammed in the field.  
7.2.2.1  
Power On Reset & Watchdog Circuits  
The power on reset consists of the DS1232 (U6), which drives the RST signal to the CPU  
low when the 5V supply is below 4.6 Volts. This ensures that the CPU does not corrupt the  
RAM when the 5V supply collapses, and the CPU starts up reliably when the 5V supply turns  
on. The DS1232 also includes a Watchdog circuit inside, to produce a RESET if the CPU  
stops running properly.  
7.2.2.2  
Memory  
Memory addresses are decoded by the MC68302. When first powered up the FLASH  
occupies the bottom 8k bytes. However the software relocates the FLASH so that the  
memory addressing is as follows -  
000000 - 03ffff RAM  
400000 - 47ffff FLASH  
800000 - 80000f LED and SWITCHES via PAL  
f00000 - f00fff INTERNAL RAM AND PERIPHERALS  
The RAM memory and PAL chip are powered by the +5VB supply, which has a supercap  
(C68) to supply power when the MXP is powered down. This allows the MXP to retain its  
RAM memory contents for typically 10 hours on MXP power down.

MXP POWER SUPPLY  
The raw power to the board is supplied from the 24VIN terminal (via D36) or the 24VOUT  
terminal (via D34), or both, depending on the Loop conditions.  
This voltage "+V" is smoothed and maintained by reservoir capacitors C65, C66, and C71,  
which store sufficient charge to maintain the circuitry under transient loop fault conditions.  
From "+V" the following supplies are derived:

Derived from 40V ISO to power 24V relays.  
Used to power the CPU and logic circuitry.  
5VB  
Used to power the RAM and PAL. Backed up by supercap  
(C68).  
Descriptions of the circuitry required to generate these power supplies follow.  
7.2.3.1 +VS Circuitry  
The MXP is specified to operate over an MX4428 loop supply range of 17.0V to 30.0V. The  
MX4428 loop fault clearing technique relies on the fact that responders that are not powered  
up "look like" a high impedance (see Section 7.2.4 for details). The circuitry is therefore  
divided up into two sections, a (relatively) high current portion which becomes active only  
when adequate voltage is available, and a low current portion that is continuously powered  
up and whose sole purpose is to sense the loop voltage and control the enabling/disabling of  
the high current circuitry. Loop voltage sensing is performed by comparator U7:C and  
associated components which, in turn, operate power switch Q22 to feed +VS. Since the  
voltage regulator draws peak currents up to around 5A, a FET is used for Q22, which gives a  
low voltage drop for minimal control (gate) current.  
D39, R12, R35, R113 ensure that +VS becomes active if the loop supply exceeds 17.0V,  
with R28, R110, D38 providing about 4V of hysteresis (i.e. once switched on +VS will stay  
switched on until the supply voltage drops below 13V).  
7.2.3.2  
40V ISO  
The 40V ISO and 5V ISO supplies are produced using the switch mode power supply  
controller IC U10, FET Q17, and associated components. The circuit configuration is such  
that the circuit operates in flyback mode, energy being stored in L1 primary during Q17's ON  
period and transferred to the two secondary windings during the OFF period.  
The current into the diode of optocoupler OC6 increases rapidly as the 40V ISO voltage  
passes through 40V (adjustable by means of VR1). The optocoupler OC6 controls the  
feedback to U10 pin 2 which adjusts the duty cycle of the current pulses into L1's primary  
and maintains regulation of 40V ISO.  
R6 and C63 provide stability, essentially coupling the sawtooth from the internal oscillator to  
the comparator – input, thereby making the + input a much lower gain pulse width control  
than it would otherwise be. R107, R65, C38 provide over-current protection, while C34  
defines the frequency of oscillation (approximately 80KHz). D41 and C77 provide a “soft  
start” circuit to reduce the current taken during the startup time.  
7.2.3.3  
24V ISO  
The 40V ISO voltage is regulated by a linear regulator consisting of Q23, D40 and  
associated components. This supply is only required to supply a low current (about 30mA  
max) to drive relays. The reference diode (D40) used for the 24V supply is also used as the  
reference for the 40V supply.

+5V ISO & +5V Batt  
A second L1 secondary winding is used to produce an 8V supply, This 8V supply is poorly  
regulated and may vary from 7.5V to 10V depending on the 40V ISO load. The 8V supply is  
regulated by U11 to 5.2V.  
This supply is then passed through D32 to produce the 5V supply for the CPU and logic  
circuitry. The 5.2V supply also passes through D31, to produce +5V Batt, and this supply  
contains a supercap (C68) which is used to keep this supply up after the power supply has  
shutdown. R66 is used to limit the charge current to the supercap. This supply is used to  
power the RAM on the MXP, and retain its contents during short (up to a few hours) power  
downs.  
7.2.4  
MX4428 LOOP INTERFACE  
7.2.4.1  
Loop Disconnect Circuitry  
The MXP, like all MX4428 compatible Responders, includes a DISCONNECT relay (RL3)  
which is used to isolate shorts on the power supply loop.  
Normally 24V power passes from one Responder to the next via the 24VIN terminal /  
DISCONNECT relay / 24 VOUT terminal path, supplying power to the Responder on the way  
through. D35, D37, R90 form a diode gate such that a loop short on either 24VIN or  
24VOUT applies a low voltage to comparator U7:D. This generates a DISCON IN- signal to  
the microprocessor which then opens the DISCONNECT relay to isolate the fault.  
Depending on the time taken for the shorted section to be isolated, the power output of the  
MX4428 panel may collapse completely, removing power from all responders. Therefore it is  
necessary for them to respond rapidly to the DISCON IN signal and open the DISCONNECT  
relay in their last dying gasps before their power supplies collapse to zero.  
Generally, all Responders on the loop respond in like fashion and break the loop supply.  
(Depending on the position of the short, and loop resistances, some may not open their  
DISCONNECT relays.) Starting from the Responder nearest the MX4428 Master, each  
Responder then makes a decision, based on the value of “MIN V” (refer to Figure 7.1)  
whether to re-connect the relay or not. If MIN V is less than +V/2, the loop fault is on one of  
its 24V terminals, so it will not re-close its DISCONNECT relay. If, however, MIN V is  
greater than +V/2 the fault lies beyond the next Responder and it can therefore apply power  
to that Responder.  
The newly powered up Responder then makes a similar decision, followed by each  
successive Responder up to the Responder with the loop fault on its far side which will not  
close its DISCONNECT relay.  
Similarly Responders on the other end of the Responder loop will close their DISCONNECT  
relays, up to the Responder connecting to the section of the loop with the short circuit.  
With a single short circuit, all responders will eventually be powered up (receiving power  
from one end of the loop or the other), however the two responders on either side of the  
short will have their DISCONNECT relays open.  
7.2.4.2  
Disconnect Relay Driver  
U8A and U8B with Q10 and Q11 form a bridge circuit to drive DISCONNECT relay RL3.  
This is a magnetically latched relay to save power consumption. Its position can be switched  
by providing a short pulse of voltage, with the polarity of the voltage controlling the position.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
MXP Technical Description  
In response to DISCON IN– going low, the microprocessor outputs a 10 msec pulse to  
DISCON OUT+, which applies “0V” to RL3 pin 16 through D5 and U8 pin 2, and “+24V”  
through Q11 to RL3 pin 1, thereby setting the relay contacts to their open state. When  
DISCON IN+ goes low the microprocessor outputs a 10 msec pulse to CONOUT, which  
applies “0V” to RL3 pin 1 through D6 and U8 pin 1, and “+24V” through Q10 to RL3 pin 16,  
thereby re-setting the relay contacts to the closed state.  
The DISCON IN– signal is configured as an interrupt signal to the CPU. This allows a very  
fast response to it going low and ensures the relay is opened immediately. This is necessary  
as a short anywhere on the responder loop will often result in the responder power  
collapsing completely and the relay must be opened while sufficient charge remains in  
capacitors C64, C65, C66, and C59-C62.  
When neither DISCON OUT+ nor CONOUT is high, no power is applied to the coil of RL3.  
7.2.4.3  
MX4428 Communications Circuitry  
The duplicated MX4428 communications channels are implemented using serial ports 1 and  
2 of the 68302 CPU. The two transmit lines are isolated with optocouplers and buffered with  
Darlington drivers. The receive circuits are protected with series resistors and shunt  
diodes/capacitors, digitised with comparators, and isolated with optocouplers.  
Passing messages around the loop is done entirely with software. For details of the MX4428  
responder protocol and loop operation, refer to “F4000 Technical Manual - Appendix C,  
Responder Communication Protocol”.  
7.2.5  
ANALOGUE LOOP INTERFACE  
The Analog Loop (also known as MXP loop or NOSEx loop) is a two-wire circuit with the  
MXP being the master and up to 200 addressable devices which are slaves.  
The MXP supplies the loop power (36 - 39V dc) which powers the addressable devices and  
sounder outputs. The loop + voltage is modulated with a 4V p-p dual frequency sinewave in  
order to transmit data using the power wire.  
Both the MXP and the addressable devices transmit and receive in the same way. The  
addressable devices normally only transmit immediately after they have been polled by the  
MXP, however in special circumstances they can transmit interrupt messages when they  
have something urgent to send.  
An example of a message on the loop is shown in Figure 7.2.

Figure 7.2 Analog Loop Typical DC Level and Data Waveform  
Over-Current Protection  
7.2.5.1  
The current drawn by the analog loop passes through current sense resistors R22 - R26.  
When the voltage across these resistors exceeds approximately 0.65 volts (corresponding to  
a current of just over 400mA), the collector of Q2 begins to conduct. Thermistor RV3 and  
resistor R119 compensate for the fact that the VBE threshold voltage of Q2 varies with  
temperature. Q2 conducting pulls the gate of Q12 to +40V and switches off Q12. The drain  
of Q12 then drops to around 5V or less depending on the load on the analog loop. Q13 is  
then turned on by the current through R5. Q13 then holds Q12 off even though the overload  
is now gone and Q2 is no longer conducting.  
This “latched” over-current situation can only be reset by the CPU. The CPU senses the  
absence of 40V through the sense resistors R68 and R67 and the signal OVERLOAD–  
going to a logic low. The CPU (periodically) tries to reset the over-current latch by applying a  
short (approx 5 ms) pulse to “40V RESET”. This pulse turns on Q4 and Q1, which turns off  
Q13. Q12 will then turn back on and stay hard on as long as there is no over-current.  
For the duration of this 5 ms pulse, the latching action of the circuit is disabled, and Q12 will  
act as a linear current limiter. During this time the dissipation in Q12 can be up to 40V *  
400mA i.e. 16 watts. This will be an excessive dissipation for Q12 if it continues indefinitely,  
which is why the reset pulse is limited to 5 ms, and indeed why the latching action is required  
in the first place.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
MXP Technical Description  
7.2.5.2  
Data Transmission  
Each bit transmitted consists of single cycle of a sinewave of one frequency for a ‘0’ and  
another frequency for a ‘1’. Each cycle is made up from a number of discreet samples, with a  
5uS spacing between samples. For each sample the digitised value is output on the 68302  
CPU onto signals AD1, AD2, AD3, AD4, and AD5. These signals are converted to an analog  
voltage “TXDATA” by resistors R72, R73, R74, R75, R76, R77, R82, R81, R80, and R79,  
which form a conventional R/2R ladder. Resistor R78 adds a DC offset of about 1.5V to the  
TXDATA voltage.  
Transistor Q14 is a current sink with the current controlled by the TXDATA voltage. The  
varying current develops an AC voltage of 4V p-p across R85. This AC voltage is coupled  
onto the gate of Q15 through C53. Q15 provides the DC power for the loop (R85 is too high  
a resistance for this purpose). Q15 is a source follower, and its source follows the voltage on  
its gate. The circuit of R85, Q15 and associated components can be viewed as a circuit with  
about 2 - 4 volts DC drop (at 0 - 400mA load), but which has a high AC impedance  
determined by R85. (Somewhat like an inductor in that it has a low DC resistance but high  
AC impedance.) This supplies power to the loop but at the same time allows the MXP  
transmitter (Q14) and the transmitters in the addressable devices to modulate the voltage for  
data transmission.  
7.2.5.3  
Data Reception  
The data on the analog loop is filtered by L9, L10, C30, R32, R33 and C39. C37 provides  
DC blocking. D2 and D3 with C40 clamp the incoming voltage to 1.2V p-p. The filtered,  
clamped voltage is amplified by Q3 and then sliced by U13A to form a 0 - 5V square wave  
from the incoming sinewave. The received data is decoded into 0s and 1s by timing and  
software within the CPU. Note that the slice level is about 0.6V from the peaks of the AC  
voltage on the loop and not at the mid point of the AC component.  
7.2.5.4  
Open Circuit Fault Handling  
The loop is normally driven from the AL terminals, and not driven by the AR terminals.  
Optocoupler OC7 checks that power is reaching the far end of the loop i.e. the AR terminals.  
If this is not the case, the CPU will close relay RL2 so that the loop is driven (power and  
data) from both ends. Thus a single open circuit will result in all addressable devices still  
receiving power and still being able to communicate with the MXP. Two open circuits may  
result in loss of power and communications with some devices.  
Periodically (every 30 seconds) when the loop is driven from both ends, the CPU will open  
the right end relay to check whether the open circuit fault has gone away.  
7.2.5.5  
Short Circuit Fault Handling  
If the CPU finds that the over-current detector described in section 7.2.5.1 is unable to be  
reset or is operating repeatedly in a short time, it will try to drive the loop from one end at a  
time in case the short is present only when driving from one end of the loop. In this case it  
will drive the loop from the other end only. However it will try the faulty end very briefly once  
every 30 seconds to see if the fault has gone away.  
Note that if there are no isolator bases in the loop, the short will appear from both ends and  
all devices will be effectively disconnected.  
If there are isolator bases, then after an initial overload which will be reset, the isolators will  
isolate the section of the loop with the short. The loop will then appear to have an open  
circuit and will be driven by both ends simultaneously as described in section 7.2.5.4. Only  
those devices connected to the shorted section will be disconnected.

MX4428 MXP Engineering /Technical Manual  
MXP Technical Description  
Document: LT0273  
In the event that there are isolator bases installed, but there is a short on the section of loop  
between the MXP and the first (or last) isolator, the MXP will detect the short and drive the  
loop only from the opposite end. Every 30 seconds it will very briefly try reconnecting the  
faulty end to see if the fault has gone away. This reconnection must be very brief (if the short  
is still present), as it will cause the loop voltage to collapse, and the voltage must be restored  
quickly enough so that the addressable devices retain enough charge in their power supply  
filter capacitors and do not reset.  
7.3  
MXP ADJUSTMENTS  
None of these adjustments should require changing in the field, unless PCB components  
have been changed.  
7.3.1  
40V ISO SUPPLY VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT  
Disconnect all circuits from the analog loop terminals. Connect 24V to the responder loop  
power terminals. Adjust VR1 so that the voltage measured between TP16 “40V ISO” and  
TP15 “0V ISO” is 40.0V + / – 0.5V.  
7.3.2  
TX DATA VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT  
Disconnect all circuits from the analog loop terminals. Adjust VR2 so that the AC signal  
voltage measured with an oscilloscope between TP3 “LINE” and TP15 “0V ISO” is 4.0V -  
4.8V p-p.  
Refer to Figure 7.2 for an example waveform. Note that that waveform was captured with an  
analog loop and some addressable devices connected and so the measured voltage is  
slightly less than that specified.  
Note that the MXP will need to be connected to an MX4428 FIP, or standalone mode  
activated, for any data to be transmitted.  
7.3.3  
40V ISO SUPPLY CURRENT LIMIT ADJUSTMENT  
Disconnect all circuits from the analog loop terminals. Connect 24V to the responder loop  
power terminals. Apply a slowly increasing load current to the loop terminals and check at  
what current the overload circuit operates (i.e. current and voltage drop to zero before being  
restored by the software - this may happen repeatedly). The overload should occur at a  
current of 415mA to 430mA. If it is over this range snip out one of the resistors R22 - R25. If  
it is under this range, re-insert one of these resistors (R22 and R23 are 22Ω and R24 and  
R25 are 47Ω). Repeat the procedure as required.

MXP DIAGNOSTIC TERMINAL OPERATION  
8.1.1  
INTRODUCTION  
The MXP provides diagnostic functions via its serial port (J5) with a terminal or PC  
connected. Commands may be entered which :  
Display the analogue values (Raw values, Filtered values, etc) of selected devices.  
Select devices for such display.  
Display and reset error counters.  
Determine all the devices and their types, as seen from each end of the loop.  
Change an addressable device’s address.  
Perform advanced diagnostics.  
The MXP diagnostic serial port operates at 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. A  
3-wire cable is needed and it is wired the same as the MX4428 FIP programming terminal  
cable. This needs either a DB9 or DB25 connector and can be ordered as fully assembled  
cables using part numbers LM0042 (DB25) and LM0041 (DB9).  
To utilise the colour logging facility an ANSI terminal emulator mode is required. Hyperterm  
and Accuterm are suitable for Windows and Procomm is suitable for DOS. For simple  
applications where logging to disk and scroll-back are not required mxpprog32 can be used  
with Windows and mxpprog can be used with DOS – these are included in SF0250.  
8.1.2  
MENU OF COMMANDS  
To see the menu of commands available, type H <Enter> HE <Enter>or HELP <Enter>.  
Currently, this will produce the following-

8.1.3  
SELECTING POINTS FOR MONITORING  
Before the MXP can display analog values received from points, the user must select the  
points to be monitored (i.e. include in the monitoring list). This is done using the following  
commands –

MXP Diagnostic Terminal  
SPA  
Adds all points to the list of points to be monitored.  
SP nnn  
P nnn  
Adds point nnn to list.  
Adds point nnn to list  
SP nnn mmm Adds points nnn to mmm.  
P nnn mmm Adds points nnn to mmm.  
CPA  
CP nnn  
Clears all points from monitoring list.  
Clears point nnn from list.  
CP nnn mmm Clears points nnn to mmm from list.  
SP  
Displays all points selected to be monitored (i.e. in monitoring list)  
The values nnn and mmm must be in the range of 1-200.  
Note that if more than about 50 points are monitored at once, the serial output may not be  
fast enough and some data may be discarded.  
If it is not required to monitor any points be sure to deselect all points (CPA).  
Monitoring a large number of points may have a detrimental effect on processing  
time. Therefore enter the CPA command before disconnecting the laptop after  
monitoring points.  
8.1.4  
DISPLAYING DEVICE ANALOGUE VALUES - CV, TV, ETC  
Once points have been selected for display, the MXP will display at least one line for each  
selected point, each time the point replies to a poll (or sends an interrupt message).  
For those devices with two sensors (814PH, 814CH) with both sensors configured, two lines  
will be displayed – one line for temperature and another line for smoke or CO.  
Colour logging may be selected with the “CO” command to make the displayed log clearer.  
Green is used for heat sensors, yellow for photo sensors, magenta for CO sensors, cyan for  
ionisation sensors, and white for ancillaries. A brown/yellow background is used for values in  
fault, green background for values in pre-alarm, red background for values in alarm.  
An example line of the displayed values is  
T=165; P= 2; HEAT= 20; Fl= 20; SL= 20; RoR= 0; SLRoR= 0  
T=xxxx refers to the time in seconds. It recycles back to 0 after 4290 seconds.  
P=xxx refers to the point number (1 .. 200).  
The format is designed to be both human readable and suitable for capturing and importing  
into a spreadsheet. In the latter case, it is suggested that “delimited” text import is used, with  
“=” and “;” being used as delimiters.  
The following paragraphs describe the parts of the log specific to each device type.  
8.1.4.1  
Heat Sensor of 814H, 814PH, and 814CH  
T=165; P= 2; HEAT= 20; Fl= 20; SL= 20; RoR= 0; SLRoR= 0  
HEAT=xxx gives the raw value received from the detector converted to °C.  
Fl=xxx gives the filtered temperature (CV) in °C. This is the value which is compared with the  
threshold to decide if a pre-alarm exists.  
SL=xxx gives the filtered and slope limited temperature (SLV) in °C. This is the value which  
is compared with the threshold to decide if an alarm exists. This item will not be displayed if  
there is no fixed temperature alarm configured, e.g. if the heat sensor is used only to  
enhance the smoke or CO.

RoR=xx gives the rate of rise in °C/minute. This is the value which is compared with the  
threshold to decide if a rate of rise pre-alarm exists, and the value which is used to  
“enhance” smoke or CO processing. This item will not be displayed if there is no rate of rise  
alarm configured and there is no enhancement of smoke or CO.  
SLRoR=xx gives the slope limited rate of rise in °C/minute. This is the value which is  
compared with the threshold to decide if a rate of rise alarm exists. This item will not be  
displayed if there is no rate of rise alarm configured.  
8.1.4.2  
Photo Sensor of 814PH  
T=165; P= 1; OPT= 26; Cal= 32; TV= 23; CV-TV= 3; SL-TV= 3  
OPT=xxx gives the raw value received from the detector (0 .. 255).  
Cal=xxx gives the “calibrated” value (i.e. the raw value adjusted to compensate for the  
varying outputs of different detectors with the same smoke level).  
TV=xxx gives the tracked value (or long term average pedestal), i.e. the value which is  
assumed to be the output of the detector in clean air.  
CV-TV=xxx gives the filtered calibrated value less the clean air value (TV). CV-TV is the  
value which is compared with the threshold to decide if a pre-alarm exists.  
SL-TV=xxx gives the filtered and slope limited value less the clean air value (TV). SL-TV is  
the value which is compared with the threshold to decide if an alarm exists.  
8.1.4.3  
Carbon Monoxide Sensor of 814CH  
T=165; P= 2; CO= 25; Cal= 25; TV= 30; CV-TV= -4; SL-TV= -4  
CO=xxx gives the raw value received from the detector (0 .. 255).  
Cal=xxx gives the “calibrated” value (i.e. the raw value adjusted to compensate for the  
varying outputs of different detectors with the same CO level).  
TV=xxx gives the tracked value (or long term average pedestal), i.e. the value which is  
assumed to be the output of the detector with no CO present. (Note that as this value is  
measured in the factory and stored in the detector then not subsequently adjusted, it is a  
constant for each detector.)  
CV-TV=xxx gives the filtered calibrated value less the zero CO value(TV). CV-TV is the  
value which is compared with the threshold to decide if a pre-alarm exists.  
SL-TV=xxx gives the filtered and slope limited value less the zero CO value (TV). SL-TV is  
the value which is compared with the threshold to decide if an alarm exists.  
8.1.4.4  
814I Ionisation Detector  
T=165; P= 20; ION= 74; TV= 74; CV-TV= 0; SL-TV= 0  
ION=xxx gives the average of the two raw values received from the detector (0 .. 255).  
TV=xxx gives the tracked value (or long term average pedestal), i.e. the value which is  
assumed to be the average of the two detector sensors in clean air.

8.1.6  
ANALOG LOOP DIAGNOSTICS  
8.1.6.1  
TC Command (Total Counts)  
This command gives totals of node failures and powerups on the analog loop. See the EC  
command to get values broken down to individual devices.  
>>tc  
Transmit echo reception fail count 5  
Total reply fail count 191  
Total device powerups 0  
“Transmit echo reception fail count” indicates the number of times the MXP has been unable  
to receive its own transmission on the analog loop. This should normally increment only  
when the loop is subjected to abnormal events, e.g. shorts. This value is not cleared when  
the MXP powers up, it is only cleared by the RS command.  
“Total reply fail count” increments when a device does not reply to a poll, but has not already  
been deemed to have failed. When a device is removed this value will increment by 12. This  
value is not cleared when the MXP powers up, it is only cleared by the RS command.  
“Total device powerups” increments when a device powers up. This should normally  
increment by one for each device when the loop first powers up, and by one each time a  
detector is plugged into a base with the loop powered up. If it increments at other times it is  
indicative of a problem which requires investigation. This value is set to zero when the MXP  
powers up.  
8.1.6.2  
EC Command (Error Counts)  
This command gives total error counts as per the TC command, and then also gives the  
reply fail counts for individual devices, and an indication of whether each device is deemed  
to be in “scan fail”. These individual counts are not cleared when the MXP powers up, but  
are reset by the RS command.  
This command is also useful to determine which points are configured and what their type is.

8.1.6.4  
DP Command (Diagnostic Poll)  
This command lists all the devices found (irrespective of the MX4428 programming) by  
issuing a command to each side of the loop (left and right) which requests all devices to  
identify themselves. Thus it can be used to find what devices are present on the loop and  
which devices are found from each end, if the loop is broken or isolator bases have opened.  
This can help identify which section of the loop cable is broken or shorted.  
It will list devices found with any address including addresses above 200. If two or more  
devices are present with the same address they will usually be detected, however their  
replies may collide resulting in neither being detected. Therefore a second attempt is made  
on each line in order to maximise the chance of locating multiple devices with the same  
address. On the second attempt, only devices not found on the first attempt are displayed.  
This command is a local version of the MX4428 DP command.

The DP command will note as “foreign” any devices which are found but not currently  
programmed. However it will not display devices which are programmed but not found.  
Other messages may be given, e.g. “Duplicate Device”, “Unknown Type”, “Used as Heat  
only”, “Used as MIM”, “Type Mismatch”.  
8.1.6.5  
CA Command (Change address)  
The change address command may be used to change the address of a single device (the  
first number) on the analog loop to a new address (the second number). If devices are  
added one at a time, this command may be used to assign their addresses instead of using  
the programming tool. New devices from the factory normally have an address of 255.  
Both new and old addresses may be any number greater than 0 and up to 255. Addresses  
between 201 and 255 will be inaccessible to the MX4428.

FLASH PROGRAMMING  
On occasion, Tyco Safety Products Christchurch may provide a new version of the MXP  
software. This software is stored in the Flash IC, U2. It can be updated in the field as  
described below.  
8.2.1  
FILES REQUIRED  
The following files will be supplied for a Flash software version update –  
MXP.MXP  
Flash contents in special format  
FLASHPGM.S19  
MXPPROG.EXE  
MXPPROG32.EXE  
Flash programming program to run in MXP  
Flash programming program to run in PC (for DOS)  
Flash programming program to run in PC (for WIN32)  
All of these files should be in the same drive / directory, on a floppy disk or the hard disk.  
8.2.2  
PROCEDURE  
1. The MXP must be powered up either from the responder loop or an external 24V power  
supply.  
2. Make a note of the current DIP switch settings on the MXP, then set all DIP switches  
OFF.  
3. Connect the PC to the MXP programming port with an F4000 programming lead.  
4. If the PC is running DOS or Windows 3.x run the program MXPPROG from a DOS  
prompt in the directory with the files. If you are using a COM port other than COM1  
include the name of the port on the command line e.g. “MXPPROG COM2”.  
5. If the PC is running any 32 bit Windows variant (95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP etc) run the  
program MXPPROG32. (You can do this by typing MXPPROG32 from a command  
prompt in the directory with the files, or by double clicking MXPPROG32.EXE in  
Windows Explorer or My Computer. If you are using a COM port other than COM1 you  
will need to include the port name on the command line, the easiest way to do this is  
from a command prompt.)  
6. Insert the WRITE ENABLE link (LK1) on the MXP.  
7. Press the RESET button on the MXP.  
8. The programming procedure is now automatic. A typical screen log of this automatic  
procedure is shown below –  
MXP Terminal / Flash Programmer. Type ESC at any time to exit  
To program flash with new version ...  
Switch all MXP DIP switches OFF, insert FLASH WRITE ENABLE LINK and press reset  
Don't type keys while program is running (except ESC to exit if needed)

EXPONENTIAL FILTER  
An “exponential filter” is used to smooth values received from all detector types and remove  
“noise”.  
Value  
IN  
OUT  
Time  
This is a kind of moving average of recent samples, with the most recent samples given the  
most weighting. The output of the filter will exponentially approach the input (like an  
electronic RC filter).  
OUTn = OUTn-1 + (IN - OUTn-1) / FD.  
FD is the filter divisor. The bigger FD, the slower the filter.  
This filter usually requires calculation using units much smaller than the units being filtered.  
For instance it could use floating point arithmetic or integer arithmetic using units of 1/256 of  
the “detector units”. Conversion from the calculation units back to detector units should use  
rounding rather than truncation.  
9.2  
STEP LIMITING FILTER  
“Step Limiting” is used after the exponential filter on all detector types, to reduce sensitivity  
to large short term changes in input values which may represent false alarms.

The output of the filter approaches the input with a maximum slope, or maximum step on  
each sample.  
ADJ = IN - OUTn-1  
IF ADJ > SL THEN ADJ = SL  
IF ADJ < -SL THEN ADJ = -SL  
OUTn = OUTn-1 + ADJ  
SL is the step limit for each sample period. The smaller SL the slower the filter.

PHOTO PROCESSING  
9.4.1  
SMARTSENSE PROCESSING  
The smoke reading of the detector is returned as input AI0 from the device ASIC. Figure 9.2  
shows a general view of the processing of the values received from the photoelectric sensor.  
It is of interest that the value is multiplied by a factor (between 1 and 4) depending on the  
factory calibration of the sensor, and again multiplied by a factor depending on the  
temperature rate of rise (when “enhanced” operation is selected). In both cases the “tracked  
value” is subtracted, the multiplication applied, and the “tracked value” added back in. This is  
so that all scaling occurs relative to the clean air value.  
When the MXP or detector powers up the clean air value or “tracked value” is initially set to  
the average of the reading from the detector after about 30 seconds and the value stored in  
the detector EEPROM, and then may continue to track up or down by 1 each poll for the  
next 3 minutes.  
When the “tracked value” is reset manually by command from the MX4428, it is set to a  
value which will make CV equal to TV. Unless the calibration factor is exactly 1.0, the new  
TV is not simply the same as the previous CV.

Figure 9.3 shows the amount by which smoke readings are increased depending on the  
temperature rate of rise.  
The default enhancement multiplier parameter is 12. The graph (Figure 9.3) shows the effect  
of this factor and also the effect of an alternative parameter of 6.  
If enhancement is disabled, (or less efficiently if the enhancement multiplier parameter is set  
to 0) the multiplier is exactly 1.

MIM800 / CIM800 / MIM801 PROCESSING  
The MIM800 and CIM800 return a value which depends on the external resistance across  
the contact terminals and which can be modelled by the equation –  
VALUE = 226 * (150 + 3) / (150 + Rext + 3)  
The MIM801 returns a value which depends on the external resistance across the contact  
terminals and which can be modelled by the equation –  
VALUE = 226 * (Rext + 3) / (150 + Rext + 3)  
(unless Rext is open circuit, then value = 255)  
(Note 150 represents an internal 150Ω resistor, 3 represents a 3Ω FET on resistance, and  
226 represents (3.3V - DIODEV) / 3.3V * 255  
Graphs of these values are show in Figure 9.7. Also shown are the default thresholds, and  
the interpretations of the input ranges between the thresholds.

DIM MODEL  
The reading from the DIM module can be modelled using the following method.  
Calculate “R” from a point on the load line = Load Voltage / Load Current.  
Reading = 137000 / (560 + R)  
For example take the point where the 4k7 EOL resistor crosses the 24V line.

= 20.8 / .0044

= 137000 / (560 + 4700)

parameter 3 if needed.) If the supply fails completely, a DIM800 with revision less than 10  
will stop responding to polls and a NODE FAIL fault is generated.

VLC800 PROCESSING  
9.12.1  
GENERAL  
The VLC800 is processed like an 814PH, with the following parameters.  
Tracked Value is fixed at 12.  
Alarm Threshold is fixed at 100. (Corresponding to a raw value of 112).  
Filter Divisor is fixed at 3.  
Step Limit is 255 (so essentially there is no step limit).  
PreAlarm is adjustable at the MX4428.  
So the only filtering is the exponential filter with a filter divisor of 3. This gives some filtering,  
but with a minimal delay.  
As the alarm threshold is always 100, the current level (CV-TV) is an indication of the smoke  
level in terms of % of the alarm threshold programmed into the VLC800 itself.

FILTER STEP LIMITS  
Note that Step Limits are always expressed as “Units per 5 seconds”. This differs from MPR  
where heat units are “units per 10 seconds”, but smoke limits are “time to alarm” (the  
inverse). The MXP change results in  
Heat and smoke being consistent with each other.  
Using a constant slope, rather than a constant time to alarm, as the threshold is varied,  
means that increasing the alarm threshold also means that the minimum time to alarm  
will be increased which is generally what would be expected. This gave better results  
with the various sensitivities of the photo detector in the SSL test room, i.e. a constant  
Step Limit could be used for all sensitivities.  
9.14  
ZONE ALARM TEST  
A zone alarm test performs a test in the detector for all detectors in a zone which are  
capable of supporting it viz 814PH, 814CH, and 814I. The Detector LEDs do not operate. No  
filtering is applied during remote tests and the fuzzy logic is replaced by a simple comparison  
test. Any devices already in alarm, prealarm or fault, or isolated, do not partake in the test.  
Failure of a capable detector to produce the expected output generates an immediate fault.  
The actual alarm returned to the MX4428 goes through AVF if programmed.  
The MXP does not return “Test Pass” until all alarm-capable devices in the circuit go into  
alarm.  
9.15  
ZONE FAULT TEST  
No MX detectors are capable of a remote fault test. Therefore with all detectors and devices  
a fault is simulated in polling software.  
“Test Pass” requires all devices in the circuit to pass.  
9.16  
AUTOTEST AND SYSTEM TEST  
The Flash Checksum is checked. (Note also, a checksum fail on power up will result in the  
MXP application software not even starting, but the MXP will await a program load via its  
diagnostic port.)  
Specific checking of the configuration RAM is not required as it is being continually checked  
(with anomalies resulting in a download request from the MX4428).  
For an autotest where remote device testing is enabled in the MX4428, and for all system  
tests, all detectors which are capable of a remote alarm test are tested. The LEDs do not  
operate and no alarms caused only by the remote test are returned to the MX4428. A device  
with an external wiring fault or which is isolated, or in alarm or pre-alarm, is not subject the  
test and is not reported. A device with a fault, other than external wiring, or which is in scan  
fail scan fail, or relay checkback fail, or type mismatch, results in failure of the test (abnormal  
at start). No filtering is applied during remote tests.

NON LATCHING TEST MODE  
In this mode no alarms are latched, and all filtering is bypassed, however detector and  
device LEDs follow the alarm status. About 10 seconds after a device goes into alarm it is  
automatically “held in reset” for about 10 seconds, and then sampling starts again from the  
beginning.  
9.18  
COMMISSION MODE  
Filtering is speeded up or bypassed. AVF is bypassed.  
9.19  
FAST POINT TEST  
A point which supports remote test is put into alarm by its remote test facility. A point which  
does not support remote test is put into alarm by simulating a high reading. Filtering is  
speeded up or bypassed. AVF is bypassed.  
9.20  
SLOW POINT TEST  
A point which supports remote test is put into alarm by its remote test facility. A point which  
does not support remote test is put into alarm by simulating a high reading. Filtering and  
AVF operate normally.  
9.21  
SUMMARY OF ALL TEST MODES  
Table 9-1 shows the features of the various alarm tests which may be applied to detectors  
and input ancillary devices.  
Note that there is no remote test facility on a 8xxH heat detector or on the heat component of  
a 8xxPH or 8xxCH detector. On MX4428 there is no way to specify an alarm test on the heat  
component of an 8xxPH or 8xxCH detector.

ANCILLARY FILTERING  
If a poll returns the alarm state, then up to 5 immediate re-polls are made. If all these are still  
in the alarm state then an alarm is generated. If one of the succeeding polls is not in the  
alarm state, then immediate re-polling stops, but an up-down counter will be retained for the  
next poll. This counter counts up when an alarm condition is measured, and down when a  
non-alarm condition is measured. So if there are 5 polls in the alarm state then 1 non alarm  
the counter will be left at 4. On the next scheduled poll the counter starts from the value it  
had previously, so only 2 successive polls returning the alarm condition will be required to  
reach the alarm condition.  
The up-down counter always counts up and down (between 0 and 6) depending on whether  
an alarm condition or not is read from the detector. When the counter reaches 6 a filtered  
alarm state is generated. When the counter reaches 0 a filtered non-alarm condition is  
determined. An immediate re-poll is done if the last poll is in the opposite state to the filtered  
state.  
Ancillary faults are filtered in the same way, except that only 4 polls are needed rather than  
6, and there is no immediate re-polling, 4 polls 5 seconds apart are required.

RESET  
9.23.1  
RESET OF ADDRESSABLE DETECTOR  
For about 20 seconds after reset is applied to an addressable detector, the exponential filter  
and slope limiting filter are disabled if their input values are less than their output values. In  
other words their outputs will follow their inputs downwards with no filtering. However  
increases in input values will be filtered as usual.  
If the LED is latched on due to a previous alarm it will be turned off.  
The state of any AVF applied to the detector is reset to the “no-alarm” quiescent state.  
RESET has no effect on 814PH detectors operating in “FastLogic” mode.  
9.23.2  
RESET OF DIM MODULE  
Power is removed from the attached conventional detectors for about 5 seconds. Then  
power is re-applied, and sampling resumes 5 seconds later.  
If the DIM module LED is latched on due to a previous alarm it will be turned off.  
The state of any AVF applied to the detector is reset to the “no-alarm” quiescent state.  
9.23.3  
RESET OF ANCILLARY INPUT DEVICE  
If the LED is latched on due to a previous alarm it will be turned off.  
The state of any AVF applied to the detector is reset to the “no-alarm” quiescent state.  
9.23.4  
RESET OF ANCILLARY OUTPUT DEVICE

DEVICE INITIALISATION AND POLLING  
The following actions are taken for each device when it powers up or when the MXP powers  
up. One action is performed on (or instead of) each 5 second poll.  
If fault bit was received, use HEALTH command to verify that fault was caused by  
powerup.  
Use READEE command to check type.  
Send SETALL command to select which values are returned, to set the interrupt  
thresholds (if any), set the Digital Outputs required for correct operation and set the  
status register for LED blink if required.  
Use READEE command to get factory calibration value for Photo and CO devices.  
Use READEE command to get factory “clean air” value for Photo and CO devices.  
Use READEE command to get the stored LED blink bit. This may require the SETALL  
command to be sent again.  
Once this is complete FASTAV commands will be used to read the analog inputs (FASTDI  
command for RIM) on each poll, except for the occasional use of the SETOUT command to  
Reset / unreset the DIM detectors and as a background refresh of digital outputs.  
SETOUT commands to set changed digital outputs will be interspersed between polls, with  
no request to return data.  
GLOBADR commands are used to find all devices during a “Learn” initiated by the MX4428  
and “Diagnostic Pollscan” initiated by the MX4428 or MXP diagnostic terminal.  
(Refer to the “NOSEx SPECIFICATION” document for more details of the above  
commands.)

Fixed CO detector processing. Versions 1.07 to 1.09 inclusive did not apply  
the "calibration factor" stored in the detector eeprom, meaning that most  
detectors were less sensitive than they should have been (possibly outside  
the SSL limits of +/- 50%).  
VLC800 self test - moved decision point to the third poll after the "stimulus".  
(The data at the previous decision point was not necessarily valid.)  
Reprogrammed the eeprom containing the pulse length to the length required  
for the self test  
MX4428 Analog diagnostics AO command did not always cancel AS and AQ  
commands. (PR was workaround.) AO now fixed.  
Changed version returned to MX4428 to $ca.  
1.11

DIM800 now has an option for short circuit fault  
Fixed the problem that where there was only one DIM800 on the loop, and it  
was the only device on the loop, it did not get processed.  
Fixed the 814PHFL Fastlogic modes, in particular smoke only actually  
selected heat only.  
Changed version returned to MX4428 to $cb.  
Fixed continual transmission of global maintenance alert on then off when a  
“dirty” point was isolated. Changed version returned to MX4428 to $cc.

10.1  
USE OF MXP LOOP FILTER BOARD  
Some field problems have occurred with the MXP detector loop picking up interference from  
adjacent or nearby wiring, resulting in faults and possibly prealarms. The “MXP Loop Filter  
board” (part number PA1038) is now available and it can easily be fitted to an MXP in order  
to remove the interference and restore normal operation.  
One or more of the following symptoms may be evident –  
1. Intermittent “scan fail” faults.  
2. Intermittent unexpected Prealarms.  
3. The MXP diagnostic port “Total reply fail count” is much higher than expected  
(normally you should get less than 1 per hour).  
4. The above problems occur in time with some external event e.g. lift motors running,  
radio transmitters operating etc.  
Note that symptoms 1 – 3 above can also be caused by other factors e.g. the loop has too  
many devices connected or is too long. The MXP Loop Filter board will not help if this is the  
case.  
10.2  
FITTING  
Remove the loop wiring from the MXP. Fit the filter board in the loop wiring terminals of the  
MXP. Then fit the loop wiring to the filter board. Refer to Figure 10.1.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual  
MXP Loop Filter Board  
Note – if you are fitting the board to an MXP in a responder box, you may need to tip the  
underside of the plastic standoffs inwards to get the board to fit into the MXP board  
connector easily – it will help if you rotate each standoff so that its plastic latch is pointing  
away from the edge of the board. Once the board is inserted you can straighten the  
standoffs before tightening the screws on the MXP loop wiring terminals.  
Be sure to check that the system is operating normally, and that the problem you started with  
is solved.  
10.3  
DIAGNOSTICS  
Connect a terminal or laptop running a terminal emulator program to the MXP diagnostics  
port using LM0041. Select baud 19200, no parity, 8 databits, 1 stop bit.  
Enter the command RS. This will reset the error counters. Wait a few minutes. Enter TC. The  
“Total reply fail count” count should be zero. Keep checking it periodically. It should not  
increase by more than about 1 per hour. If there is a problem the count may increase every  
few seconds. To try to correlate the errors/retries with other events you can keep typing TC  
(or Control-R to repeat the last command) and see when the errors are occurring.  
Alternatively to try to correlate the errors/retries with other external events you can enter the  
command NC (Nosex comms log toggle) so that the Nosex comms log is enabled. Then you  
will see activity on the screen in real time every time a device does not reply. (Note - one  
device that should not be present is polled every 5 seconds, it should not reply and this lack  
of reply is displayed on the screen). Be sure to type NC again so that the Nosex Comms log  
is disabled before disconnecting the terminal.
