Mass Notification System
The FX-LOC(R) Local Operating Console along with the Mircom FleX-NetTM Network Fire Alarm system facilitates a
Mass Notification System. The FX-LOC(R) provides critical emergency (as well as fire) information to be
communicated within buildings.
The FX-LOC(R) Local Operating Console along with the FleX-NetTM Network Fire Alarm provides compliance with the
Mass Notification System (MNS) UL 2572 requirements.
The MNS portion of a complete Mircom FleX-NetTM Network Fire Alarm system consists of a BBX-FXMNS Enclosure
(see Node 2 in Figure 1). The BBX-FXMNS includes a RAXN-LCD Annunciator which is designated an ACU
(Autonomous Control Unit) and a Master Microphone to provide emergency audio. Below the ACU is another RAXN-
LCD which annunciates the fire alarm system along with a Master Telephone for emergency use. Below this is a
display LCD such as the DSPL-420 or DSPL-2440 which may be used for service; this display will show all messages.
Up to seven FX-LOC(R)s can be connected to any MNS node.

FX-LOC(R) Local Operating Console
The FX-LOC(R) consists of a remote main display (RAXN-LCD), an audio indication panel RAX-1048TZDS and a
master paging microphone QMP-5101N within a small compact enclosure. The complete enclosure dimensions are
approximately 15” wide by 25” long by 5.5” deep. Refer to figure below for accurate dimensions. The FX-LOC model
provides a white door and the FX-LOCR model comes with a red door.
Summary of Parts:
1. FX-LOC(R) Enclosure consists of backbox, inner door and outer door.
2. Main Display such as RAXN-LCD.
3. Audio indication panel RAX-1048TZDS.
4. Master paging microphone, model QMP-5101N.
Figure 2: FX-LOC(R) Enclosure
The FX-LOC(R) is made upof a mechanical backbox, a middle metal chassis which the modules are attached toand
afront door with a Lexan window. The backbox may be mounted either surface or flush mount.
Surface Mount
For surface mounting the backbox is secured to thewall using six #8 screws with the six mounting holes provided.
The mounting holes are 8 1/2” apart in width and 9.4” apart in length from the top two mounting holes to the middle
mounting holes and 9” apart in length from the middle two mounting holes. Refer to figure above for all the
dimensions.
Flush Mount
For flush mount, cut out a hole 12 1/2” wide by 23” long and 5” deep. Allow at least 2.5” around the cutout for the lip
of the backbox and door placement. Place the backbox into the hole and the bent edge of the box will frame the wall.

Module Placement within the FX-LOC(R)
Once the backbox has been mounted, the RAXN-LCD, the audio annunciation panel and the paging microphone are
fastened to the inner door chassis as shown below. Once the modules have been mounted to the inner door, wire the
modules as instructed in the following sections. After wiring is complete, hook the door with the Lexan window and the
inner door chassis onto the backbox. Refer to figure below for assembly instructions.

Wiring the Microphone and Selector Panel
Figure 4: QMP-5101N Network Master Paging Control Module Connections and Terminal Blocks
The interface wiring between the QMP-5101N, ANC-5000 and FX-LOC(R) is as follows:
The maximum wiring run from the QMP-5101N and the ANC-5000 is 20 feet or 6 metres.
MIC+, MIC-, SHLD: 18-22 AWG Twisted Shielded Pair
PTT+, PTT-: 18-22 AWG Twisted Pair
Note: The Common Trouble LED on the QMP-5101N Paging Module is configured as MIC Active for
FX-LOC(R). Replace the Common Trouble label with the MIC Active label and re-configure the Common
Trouble LED using the FleX-Net TM configurator MSW-025.
