Introduction
1.1 The INX-10A Intelligent NAC Expander Panel
Mircom‘s INX-10A is an Intelligent NAC Expander Panel and operates in CLIP (Classic Loop
Interface Protocol) mode. Available as a 10 Amp configuration, the INX-10A extends the
power capabilities of existing notification appliance circuits and provides power for other
ancillary devices.
The INX-10A also has the ability to operate with any UL Listed 24 VDC conventional fire alarm
control panel to provide Notification Appliance Circuit expansion.
1.1.1 Compatible Fire Alarm Control Panels
1.1.2 Features
•Supports 2 synchronized panels on one node to meet sync timing requirements
•Supports up to 14 panels per node using minimal configuration (7 SLC points per
booster)
•Supports up to 6 panels per node using maximum configuration (15 points for extended
trouble reporting and two-stage operation).
•Outputs used as power supply outputs do not require panel configuration or SLC
addresses
•Utilizes DIP switches for configuration
•DC regulated outputs

3.2.1 Installation Tips
•Group the incoming wires through the top of the enclosure. Use a wire tie to group wires
for easy identification and neatness.
•Be sure to connect a solid Earth Ground (from building system ground / to a cold water
pipe) to the Chassis Earth Ground Mounting Lug, and to connect the Earth Ground Wire
Lugs from the Main Chassis to the ground screw on the Backbox.
Attention: DO NOT install cable through bottom of the box. This space is reserved
for Batteries.
