Advanced MxPro4 Series User manual

www.advancedco.com
Remote Terminals
Based around two core products, the Mx-4010 Remote Display Terminal (RDT) and the fully functional
Mx-4020 Remote Control Terminal (RCT).
Both remote terminals utilise the same graphical LCD user interface that can be found on the MxPro 4
series fire panels and are based upon the same advanced, flash based, microprocessor technology.
All MxPro 4 series panels and remote terminals can communicate over the same 2-core network
cable.
Integral network interface incorporating a special screen termination to prevent mains frequency earth-
loop currents flowing between network nodes.
The ‘Ad-NeT’ network operates as a true peer-to-peer system with full cross panel reporting, control
and cause and effect functionality of up to 1000 zones.
The display information is fully programmable by individual zone or sector and can display any
combination of fires, faults, pre-alarms or plant alarms. E.g. can display all information in its own
sector, but only show fire signals from other sectors of a building.
Both remote terminals incorporate buzzer mute, view, enable/disable and test facilities with dedicated
system and navigation keys for simple user control.
The RCT has additional sector based control keys for Evacuate, Silence, Resound and Reset, which
allows other networked panels to selectively respond to controls as programmed. E.g. on a site with
multiple buildings, a user may be allowed to silence and reset fires originating in their own building.
Fires originating from other buildings are displayed but cannot be reset.
Fully on-site programmable via on-board alphanumeric keypad or PC configuration tools.
By using ‘flash memory’ and an advanced graphical display the remote terminals can be easily
configured to operate in virtually any language, with any character set and allows for the installer’s
logo and company details to be displayed on the LCD display during normal operation.

1.2 Mounting the Enclosure
First, remove the enclosure cover, which is held
in place by tamper resistant hexagon key screws.
These require the use of a 2.5mm Allen Key.
Remove the two screws securing the chassis on
which the display and all the electronics are
mounted. Put the chassis to one side, observing
normal anti-static precautions.
Remove the required knockouts for the incoming
supply/earth and the network data cables.
Fix the unit to the wall using the mounting holes
in each corner of the back box.
1.3 Electrical Connections
Fit the cable glands for the incoming supply and
network data cables. Cable Anchor Points are provided
in the rear of the back box to enable these cables to be
securely fastened using tie-wraps.
Connect the incoming power supply earth wire to the
earth stud in the back box.
Re-fit the chassis plate. Connect the 24V DC supply
feed to the SUPPLY +24V and 0V terminals.
Note the power supplied used MUST BE designated a
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) supply.
A stand-alone power supply with clean-contact fault
output contacts can be monitored by taking them to the
“FLT-INPUT” connections on the left hand terminal
block. A 10K series resistor should be connected to the
relay terminals. If fault monitoring is not required a
10K resistor should be left in the “FLT-INPUT” terminal
block.
Connect the 2 core twisted pair network data cable to
the A and B terminals.
Connect the data cable screen to the network SCN
terminals. Note that special screen termination circuits
are included on the circuit card to prevent mains
frequency earth-loop currents flowing between network
nodes. The data cable screen MUST NOT be
connected to any other earth point.
Please refer to document 680-027 for more detailed
information on the Ad-Net 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 any 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 an overall screen.
Cable screens must be terminated as described in
the text opposite.
NB: Minimum / Maximum cable size for all
connections is limited to 0.2mm² / 2.5mm² (24-
14AWG).

2 Commissioning
All commissioning items are accessed by using the navigation keys and selecting the appropriate item from the
commissioning menu. Wherever possible the menus have been chosen to follow a similar format to the MX fire
panels.
[Commission Menu 1]
PASSWORDS ZONE
EXIT
PC-CONFIG SETUP
VIEW
The steps needed to configure the remote terminal are as follows: -
a) Enter network and service details from SETUP
b) Use the PASSWORD option to enter any custom passwords.
c) Use the ZONE option to enter the text corresponding to the terminal’s zone.
EXIT from commissioning into normal Level 2 operation. Check network.
2.1 Passwords
Allows the passwords used for level 2 and level 3 accesses to be changed. The remote terminal uses the same
defaults as the fire panel.
2.2 Zone
Shows the text corresponding to the terminal zone. Pressing the Tick key allows the text to be changed. It is
recommended that text be chosen that describes where the terminal is in the building, so that in the event of the
EVACUATION key being used, all panels and terminals on the network will show where the fire has been detected.
This text will also be displayed if the terminal’s monitored power supply FLT input goes open or short circuit.
2.3 Exit
Once commissioning is completed, use Exit to return the terminal to normal level 2 operation. It is recommended
that once at level 2, the VIEW/NETWORK option be used to check the network configuration (see network
document for details).
2.4 Setup
Basic network configuration must always be performed first: -
[Setup]
THIS NETWORK NODE : 2
NEXT NETWORK NODE : 3
TERMINAL ZONE : 98
SERVICE NUMBER : 01234 567890
“THIS NETWORK NODE” - The network node address for this terminal.
“NEXT NETWORK NODE” - The address of the next network node
“TERMINAL ZONE” - The zone number used to identify this terminal –select a number that is not being
used by the fire panels or other terminals.
- (The text description of the zone is entered from the “ZONE” option off the
commission menu)

www.advancedco.com
“SERVICE NUMBER” - Numbers/Text displayed under fault conditions.
“COMPANY LCD LOGO” - Toggle on/off as required
“PROGRAM ID” - Displays the full version number of the installed software.
“CONFIG DATA - Shows checksum corresponding to terminal configuration
- (Moving to the right gives option to erase all configuration data)
2.5 Key-Switch Operation
As an alternative to passwords, a key switch can be used to change between Level 2 and Level 1 access on the
MX4020 by connecting a key switch to the “KEY-SWITCH INPUT” terminals.
This input is pre-defined to inhibit the RESET, SILENCE, RESOUND and EVACUATE control functions when the
terminal is at access level 1.
3 User Operating Instructions
The following instructions give general information on how to use the panel displays. Always take into account the
specific Fire Procedures for your building when using these instructions.
3.1 Automatic Display Modes
3.1.1 Fire Display
The primary function of this remote terminal is to indicate the location of any fires that may occur. You do not need
to press any keys to see where a fire has started.
Twin red LED indicators will illuminate when information on a fire is received.
The origin of the fire is automatically displayed at the top of the screen. The zone number is displayed, together
with a full text description of the zone.
On the third line the display shows additional text to describe where, within the zone, the device is located and also
the type of device that has detected the fire.
Below a dividing line drawn across the screen is information on how many zones are in fire and to where the fire
has spread. For example:
. FIRE STARTED IN ZONE 0001 Scroll 
SOUTH WING GROUND FLOOR
ENTRANCE LOBBY <CALL POINT >
[ 2 Zones in Fire][Last Fire in Z0057]
SOUTH WING FIRST FLOOR
The above example shows a fire that has started in zone 1, in the South Wing Ground Floor. The device that
detected the fire is a call point situated in the entrance lobby.
The bottom part of the display shows us that the fire has also spread into a second zone, the South Wing First
Floor (zone 57).

3.1.2 Multiple Zones / Detailed Fire Information
If there are multiple zones in fire, it is possible to scroll through each zone by pressing the  keys. The top of the
display will then list each zone in a fire condition. For example:
Zone FIRE-LOCATION More >
0001 SOUTH WING GROUND FLOOR .
0057 SOUTH WING FIRST FLOOR
0082 SERVICE BLOCK PLANT ROOM
If more, detailed information is required on the source of the fire, scrolling right (key) will give detailed
information on the fires within the zone. For each detector in fire the following information is available: -
Device location text
Loop number
Address number
Device Type
Detector Analogue/Digital value
Building Sector and Network Node address
Pressing the Esc key terminates this mode. It will also automatically terminate and revert to showing the fire origin
if the keys are not used for 15s.
