1 Introduction
Four relay outputs are provided. These can be independently programmed with different cause and effect rules.
The outputs can be configured to turn ON only.
The PC CONFIG tool is used to program the presence and functionality of these outputs. By default, the outputs
cannot be silenced. The outputs can be configured to follow investigation delays, allow silence and be inverted,
if required.
When “All Other Outputs” are disabled at the panel, all relay outputs attached to the panel are disabled. Outputs
can also be individually disabled via the user menus or disabled using the group disable function through
programming.
The Boxed unit is provided with a power supply. Status indications for Power and Fault are provided.
On-board indicators are provided for each relay output (illuminated when the relay is activated), Bus
communications Transmit TX and Receive RX and a Heartbeat indicator (flashes at a rate of 1Hz to show
normal operation and at a rate of 5Hz to show an internal fault condition).

2.6 Wiring
The unit is designed for easy wiring installation.
“Plug-in” terminal blocks are provided for all connections to the
unit.
FIGURE 2 above shows the positions for all connections to the
card.
NB: Minimum / Maximum cable size for terminal block
connections is limited to 0.35mm² - 2.5mm² (22-14AWG).
NB: Maximum rating of relay contacts when mounted in the fire
panel is 24V, 1A –DO NOT USE for 230V AC switching.
WARNING: If the card is used to switch 230V AC then the cables should be
of suitable size and insulation for the voltage / current load. Keep this
wiring away from any SELV wiring. Fit warning label next to connections.
230V AC MUST BE the same phase in the enclosure!
If the loads are inductive then ensure there is protection against back EMF.
Use the appropriate snubber network.
All electrical wiring installation work should be carried
out in accordance with the code of practice applicable
in the country of installation.To maintain electrical
integrity of the SELV wiring on the DC Power and
communications lines all SELV wiring should be
segregated from LV mains wiring and be wired using
cable with insulation suitable for the application.
To minimise the effects of EMC interference all data
wiring circuits should be wired with a twisted pair of
conductors with a cross sectional area suitable for the
loading conditions.
In areas where cabling may come into contact with
high frequency interference, such as portable radio
transceivers etc. the data wiring cable should be of a
twisted pair construction within a overall screen. Care
should be taken to correctly terminate this screen,
refer to the information below.
2.6.1 AC Wiring (Boxed Units)
Route the high voltage mains AC wiring into the enclosure at
the upper left corner only. Keep the AC wiring away from the
circuit boards and all other wiring.

be 0.75mm2cable rated at 250V and fused
via a 5A anti-surge fuse.
Must be
earthed
The panels must be connected to the supply earth
through the power cable.
The mains input connector is shown in the diagram opposite.
Note the positions of the earth, neutral and live terminal
connections. These are clearly marked on the label next to the
connector. The connector block contains an integral fuse
holder.
Secure the mains input wiring by tie wrap as close to the
terminal block as possible.
The fuses are rated at: T 3.15A H 250V
Replace with correct rating and specification only.
2.6.2 Battery Installation (Boxed Unit)
Two 7AH batteries can be installed in the bottom of the
enclosure.
Battery Leads are supplied.

2.6.3 DC Power and Serial Communications
A 24V DC power supply is required.
Connect the 24V DC supply feed input to the SUPPLY
+24V and 0V terminals on the interface card.
Use cables of sufficient size to ensure that the power
input voltage is maintained under all supply conditions
–refer to specifications section.
Note: The DC power supply used MUST BE
designated a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) supply.
For boxed versions, supplied complete with a power
supply, DC Power is pre-wired. Refer to details above
for the AC Power connections.
Must be
earthed
The enclosure in which the card is
mounted must be earthed and the card
fixing points defined in FIGURE 2 must
be connected to earth for EMC purposes.

Critical
Signal
Path
The serial communications is a 2-wire bus. Communications cable must be twisted-pair type. See
FIGURE 6 above for connections. Set the position of jumper 485 TERM to ‘ON’ to connect a 150Ω
EOL resistor on the last unit on the bus. Otherwise, leave this jumper in the ‘OFF’ position.
The interfaces and enclosures should be located not greater than 10M from the control panel (and
must be within the same room) with the wiring run in rigid metal conduit or using fire rated cables.
2.6.4 Power Supply Fault Input
The “FAULT INPUT” terminals are normally used to
monitor the contacts of the fault relay output from the
power supply.
A 10KΩ series resistor should be connected to the
relay terminals.
If more than one module is powered from the same
power supply, it is only necessary to connect the fault
output monitoring to one of the modules.
Should no fault relay be available, or if the monitoring
of an external fault signal is not required, these two
terminals should be shorted together with a 10KΩ
resistor across the terminals of the “FLT-INPUT”
terminal block.

3 Programming and Configuration
To add a 4-way relay card in the configuration file firstly expand the panel tree and select the “Peripheral Bus”
option.
Note: The peripheral addresses are assigned in blocks. Addresses 50-65 are assigned to the 4-Way Sounder
and addresses 66-81 are assigned to the 4-Way Relay.
3.1 Adding Devices
Click on the device selector and expand the tree and click on the
Mxp-035 option to highlight and select it.
The zone number is pre-assigned to the zone number of the panel. This
can be changed if an alternative zone is required for these circuits.
Select the required address in the list and then click on the tool bar to
add the device at the selected address (or right click and select add).
Continue and add 4-way relay cards at additional addresses if required.
Remember that the DIP Switch on the card(s) will need to be set to match
the addresses chosen in the configuration file.
An example of a panel with five (5) relay cards is shown below.

3.2 Removing Devices
To remove a device, click on the button, select and highlight the address to be removed and then click the
button to delete the 4-way relay card from the address.
3.3 Configuring the Output Circuits
3.3.1 Basic Details
Click the button to show a list of
the addresses and sub-addresses for
all of the devices added. An example is
shown below:
Each output is a sub-address of the
main card address. For example, at
address 66, Relay 0 = 66.0, Relay 1 =
66.1, etc.

www.advancedco.com

3.3.2 Detailed Configuration
Detailed output configuration is shown in the ‘Point Details’
window for the selected address. For example:
Option
Description
Default
Device Location Text
Enter the Device Location text to describe each relay
circuit. If required, the Zone Number can also be
changed.

This is normally the panel zone but can be changed on
an individual point if required.
Allow Investigation Delays
Determines if the output will follow any programmed
investigation delays or will activate immediately on the
event.
Yes
Disablement Group
The output can be assigned to a disablement group.
When the group is disabled, the output will not activate
on an event. 0 = not assigned to a disablement group.
0
Invert Output
Determines if the output is normally OFF (not inverted
and activates on the event) or normally ON (inverted
and de-activates on the event)
No
May Silence
Determines if the output will be silenced when a
Silence command is performed.
No
May Walk Test
Determines if the output will respond to “Test” fire
alarms.
No
Output Group
Determines the cause and effects rule that will turn the
output on.
199
3.3.3 Output Group Cause and Effect Assignment
By default, all outputs are pre-assigned to the default general fire alarm output group (199).
Assign the output to an alternative output group depending on the cause and effects required for each output.
3.4 Output Group Programming
3.4.1 Basic Options
Each output can be independently programmed in the same way as other outputs on the panel including delays,
zone range, input events and logic.
For further information, refer to the panel manuals and PC Tool manual.
