1 Introduction
The Mxp-536 Peripheral Zone Card, on-board I/O module, is an internal peripheral for use with the Mx-5000
range of fire alarm control panels
Each card provides monitoring of up to 8 Radial, or 4 Loop, conventional zone circuits.
Cards are protocol Independent.
Up to 16 cards may be connected to a panel, allowing for an extra 128 conventional zone circuits, and 48 Relay
Outputs.
Easily configured with the PC Configuration Tool
Can be set to Stand Alone mode and operate independently from the Fire Panel; using the 3 on-board relays to
report Fire, Fault & Earth Fault conditions.
2 General Installation & Operation
2.1 Module Overview
The Mxp-536 Peripheral Zone card offers 8 individually configurable conventional zone circuits, and 3
configurable relay outputs; as well as including an Earth Monitor circuit in the event that the card is mounted
remotely to its parent Fire Panel.
With up to 16 cards supported, this allows up to 128 conventional zone circuits and an extra 48 SELV relay
outputs to be operated from a single Fire Panel.
Each Mxp-536 unit can be configured to operate in either radial (class B) or ring (class A) mode.
In radial (class B) mode:
Up to 8 Conventional zones are supported per card
The EOL can be configured to use a 6K8, 4K7 or 3K9 EOL (single setting for all zones).
Zones work with standard or Schottky diode bases †.
Complies with applicable standard EN54-13 †.
Can be configured for operation with Intrinsically Safe zones ††
In ring (class A) mode:
Up to 4 Conventional zones are supported per card
Maximises coverage protection (in the event of zone faults).
Complies with applicable standard EN54-13.
See Wiring Configuration for further details.
Cards are generally intended to work with an Mx5000 fire panel which is commonly referred to as working in
“Peripheral Bus” mode; but can also be configured to operate in a “Stand Alone” mode were connection to a 3rd
party panel is required. See Operating Modes for further details.
In Peripheral Bus mode, zone behaviour and relay settings are individually configured using the PC
Configuration tool.
See Card Configuration Setup for further details.
A dedicated PSU Monitor input is provided to report PSU faults back to the parent fire Panel when operating in
PBUS mode. In Stand Alone mode this input is used to reset the card in order to clear latched alarm conditions.
The Mxp-536 Peripheral Zone card makes use of Software Monitoring And Real Time Power Management
techniques in order to minimise power requirements under fault conditions (such as short circuits across
multiple zones), or when driving into Zone Circuits under Alarm conditions. The result is lower power
requirements, and increased battery life.
† Requires an “Exp-006 Active End of Line Module”, sold separately.
†† Requires an apropriate barrier module. EN54-13 compliance is not supported on I.S zones

2.2 Basic Configuration
Each card connected to the 485 Communication Line must have its
own address. This address should be set so that it matches the
corresponding card within the Advanced PC Config Tool design.
Configuration Defaults:
- Earth Monitor Disabled: This is the required condition if the
card is expected to share a ground plane with the parent fire Panel,
or any other card which also provides earth monitoring capabilities.
For example, if multiple Zone cards are located in a remote
enclosure, that requires earth monitoring; only 1 of the cards should
be set to monitoring mode. Slide switch to the ON position to enable
the earth monitor circuit.
- Radial (Class B) operation. Slide switch to the ON position to
put card into Loop (Class A) mode.
- Stand Alone Mode. Slide PBUS switch to the ON position to
enable Peripheral Bus Mode.
In Peripheral Bus mode the card address is set using the Address
switches (as depicted above).
In Stand Alone mode the address switches are used to configure the EOL setting:

2.3 Operating Modes
The Mxp-536 has 2 operation modes:
- Stand Alone Mode (DIP Switch Default):
oThe card is connected to a 3rd party Fire Panel via volt-free relay connections
oThe card uses following default processing rules:
In Class B:

● Feature supported on this zone
oUnused zone circuits should have EOLs fitted (or loop wiring if running in class A) in order to avoid
incorrectly reporting faults.
oThe 3 on-board relays are used to interface to the outside world and inform external monitoring
equipment of Fire (relay 1), Fault (fail safe operation) (relay 2), and Earth (relay 3) Fault conditions.
The signalling relays are global to all zones, so while a Fire or Fault can be reported it
cannot be tied-in to any one particular zone circuit on the card. Therefore in stand
alone mode only one zone circuit should be used for detection purposes, or conversely
all zone circuits on the card should be operating in the same physical detection zone.
- Peripheral Bus Mode:
oThe card requires an Mx5000 Fire Panel in order to operate. In this mode the card provides
maximum flexibility, with the ability to configure each zone independently via the Advanced
Configuration tool.
oNo need to fit EOLs (or loop wiring if running in Class A) on unused zones; unused zones are
disabled by the Fire Panel to reduce current drain.
oConfigurable Relay outputs (via Advanced Configuration tool)
2.3.1 PSU Monitor
The behaviour of the PSU Monitor input changes depending on the run mode of the card.
- In Stand Alone mode the input is used to issue the reset command to the card
- In Peripheral Bus mode the input acts as a PSU monitor.

Notes:
- For compliance with EN54-13 an AEOL (Exp-006) must be used with radial zones, regardless of the type of
base in use. Please note that not all detection devices are compatible with the AEOL (Exp-006) module
(please refer to
- If an AEOL (Exp-006) is in use the EOL configuration must be set to 6K8.
- Up to three 4-wire zones can be supported using the on-board relays (in PBUS mode)
- If operating in Stand Alone Mode the on-board relays become purpose specific and therefore cannot be
used in 4-Wire device configurations.

3 Card Configuration Setup
3.1 Adding a Card to the Design
Expand the Panel (in the “Site List”) and select the “Peripheral Bus” node; this will bring up a list of available
cards that can be connected to the peripheral bus in the “Device Selector”.
Unlike most peripheral devices the PC1124 is represented twice in the “Device Selector”…
Select the desired operation mode (Class A / B) and add it to the design.
The device should be added to the same address as the one set on the card.
The selected operation mode should match the mode set on the card; failure to do so will result in a
type change error being reported against that card, after upload.
3.2 Output Configuration
Output configuration is performed along the same line as any other output device/point.
If the card is operating in “stand-alone” mode (but still present in the design, and connected to the
peripheral bus) these output settings will have no effect on the relay behaviour.

www.advancedco.com
12
3.3 Input Configuration
Point Options for Fire Action Point Options for Non-Fire Actions
Input configuration is performed along the same line as configuring any loop device.
Setting the “Input Action” to “No Action” has the following impact:
- Input is disabled at the hardware end (overall power consumption is reduced)
- End of Line resistors are not required for unused inputs.
Each Zone circuit can be individually configured to treat short circuits as activating/qualifying conditions; this is
done via the “Short Circuit Qualifies Action” checkbox.
Each Zone circuit can be individually configured to operate in Intrinsically Safe mode; which is intended for use
only with an appropriate I.S Barrier and I.S. Devices.
Each zone can be configured for Alarm Verification by setting the “Comfirmation Filter” option. To get this
option the “Confirmation Filter” must first be enabled under “Panel Details→General Options”
Each Zone can be configure for Latching or non latching operation. Non Latching zones will reassert an active
condition 10 seconds after activation. The default sequence is as follows:
Activation →10s Reassert Delay →2s Reset →5s Zone Evaluation Inhibit →Full Monitoring
The Zone EOL selection is an option common to all the zones in a card, setting a zone to 6K8 will change the
setting on all other zones for that card.

The DC power to the Mxp-536 card must always be local to the card.
This equipment is constructed with static sensitive components. Observe anti-static precautions
at all times when handling printed circuit boards. Wear an anti-static earth strap connected to
