1.0 Introduction
1.1 The FX-MNS-6000 Network Fire and Emergency
Communication System
Mircom’s FX-MNS-6000 Network Fire Alarm and Emergency Communication system offers
modular components for network systems providing a wide variety of applications. Designed
for peer to peer network communications, using industrial standard ARCnet protocol. The FX-
MNS-6000 allows for a maximum of 63 nodes (where a node can be a control center or a floor
panel) while providing reliability and flexibility. This fire alarm and audio system provides
zoned emergency multi-channel audio with emergency paging and fire evacuation, and an
optional firefighters’ telephone communication to and from the CACF (Central Alarm and
Control Facilities) location to all remote telephone handsets.
Each integrated fire and audio network panel or BBX-FXMNS-6000 node consists of an
enclosure which contains both an audio portion and a fire alarm portion. The fire alarm portion
consists of a FX-6000MNS-CH Main Chassis, which accommodates the main fire alarm
control board, an ANC-6000 Audio Network Card, and a TNC-5000 Telephone Network Card.
The audio portion consists of a QMB-6000 card cage that holds up to 4 amplifiers and a QCC-
6000 Communications Card. Also, within this BBX-FXMNS-6000 enclosure is a QPS-6650
power supply and batteries.
Each FX-6000MNS-CH node main fire alarm board provides one intelligent analog loop
supporting 159 Advanced Protocol (AP) analog sensors and 159 AP addressable modules
(with a maximum of 99 CLIP sensors and 99 CLIP addressable modules). For example, if
there are 99 CLIP (non AP) sensors on a loop, you may add an additional 60 AP sensors for a
total of 159. NOTE: AP sensors and monitors can be set as CLIP sensors and monitors for
retrofit use. There are also 4 Class A/B Indicating Circuits (NACs) rated at 1.7 amperes each
and a large 4 x 20 back-lit alphanumeric LCD display.
The paging microphone and firefighters’ telephone may be used together or independently,
connected to a Central Alarm and Control Facility (CACF).
For communication and annunciation there is a microphone for paging, a paging selector
panel, firefighters’ telephone and associated selector panels all housed in a central enclosure
(CACF). The master paging and telephone modules are intended for installation in a CACF.
The QBB-6001 is an expansion audio only cabinet (connected to an BBX-FXMNS-6000 node).
It contains two QMB-6000 card cages which hold up to 4 QAD-6425-70/25 amplifiers each for
a total of 8 amplifiers and a QCC-6000 Communications Card. Also contained in this cabinet is
a QPS-6650 power supply and batteries.
1.1.1 Overall Fire Alarm Features
• Large System Capacity and Modular Design.
• Provides peer-to-peer network communications
• Supports up to 63 nodes (including lobby panel).
• Supports copper and/or fiber optic network cable.
• Supports a request, grant, or deny system with all controls disabled on node
annunciators as per ULC 527-11.
• Supports a degraded mode of operation (more than one operating node) and a
standalone mode of operation (only one operating node) as per ULC 527-11.
