Introduction
About the FleX-NetTM Network Fire and Emergency Communication System
Mircom’s FleX-NetTM Intelligent Fire Alarm and Audio Network offers modular components for network systems
providing a wide variety of applications. Designed for peer to peer network communications, using industrial
standard ARCnet protocol. FleX-NetTM allows for a maximum of 63 nodes (where a node can be a control center or
a floor panel) while providing reliability and flexibility.
FleX-NetTM is based on the proven and reliable FX-2000 Fire Alarm Control Panel platform. Each base panel
consists of one intelligent analog loop controller capable of supporting 99 analog sensors and 99 addressable
modules. In addition, the base panel also consists of 4 Class A/B (Style Z/Y) Indicating Circuits (NACs) rated at 1.7
amperes each and a large 4 x 20 back-lit alphanumeric LCD display.
The FleX-NetTM configuration allows the FleX-NetTM Fire Alarm Control Panels to be connected to a Mircom
network which provides additional input circuits, visual zones, programmable notification appliance circuits and
relays. In addition, a FleX-NetTM Integrated Fire and Audio panel can be used to provide a fully distributed audio
and/or integrated telephone system.
Mircom's FleX-NetTM Network system also provides zoned emergency multi-channel audio providing emergency
paging and fire evacuation, and an optional firefighters’ telephone communication to and from CACF (Central Alarm
and Control Facilities) location to all remote telephone handsets. The system consists of Integrated Fire and Audio
Network Panel or FX-MNS nodes. Each Integrated Fire and Audio Network Panel or FX-MNS contains an audio
portion which consists of a QMB-5000N motherboard and card cage which holds an ANC-5000 Audio Network
Card, a TNC-5000 Telephone Network Card and up to 4 amplifiers, a fire alarm portion FX-2000ND Main Chassis, a
PS-2040 power supply and batteries. The QBB-5001/R expansion audio cabinet (connected to a Integrated Fire
and Audio Network Panel or FX-MNS node) contains a card cage motherboard which holds up to 7 amplifiers, has
an audio power supply, battery charger and batteries all housed in an audio backbox enclosure.
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.
Note that the paging microphone and firefighters’ telephone may be used together or independently, connected to a
FleX-NetTM Network Central Alarm and Control Facility (CACF).

Additional Features
Blackfin based Quad Loop Adder module ALCN-792M. The ALCN-792M is a 2 loop addressable adder module
with provision to connect a daughter board ALCN-792D which contains an additional 2 addressable loops for a total
of four addressable loops.
There are two additional main fire alarm panel displays:
DSPL-420 8 line LCD display narrow board
DSPL-2440 9 event, 24 line graphical display narrow board
The BBX-FXMNS enclosure is for the Integrated Fire and Audio consisting of a backbox, door and middle chassis.
Part of this enclosure is the vertical mount telephone QMT-5302NV and the vertical mount paging microphone
QMP-5101NV.
The ANC-5000 Audio Network Controller module includes ARCnet and an ethernet port. ARCnet reduces the wiring
for audio and telephone to the ARCnet only or fiber optics (if used).
The QBC-5000N charger provides a dual voltage transformer for audio.
The RAXN-LCDG is a graphical display remote annunciator.
The FleXNetTM is compatible with Coptir, Pinnacle, Acclimate and 4-20mA devices.
Configuration options are provided for grouping inputs.
Panel supports previous, current and next configuration. Configuration automatically reverts back to previous or
moves to future configuration through front-panel menu.
OPEN Graphic Navigator Software Package allows 3D graphic display of premises and devices. Use the
ethernet port on the main board to connect to OPEN graphics software.
Boolean logic functions are now available within the configuration software.
uBoot Based BootLoader program (inherent in the configuration) provides leading technology that allows a choice
of multiple configuration files or firmware revisions to support site-specific requirements.
The FleXBootTM shell offers UNIX style commands for directory listing, log download, diagnostic probing and
system tuning and optimization.
Document Conventions
Circuits and Zones
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay.
The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit.
Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
On the FleX-NetTM, circuits can be hardwired inputs and outputs or addressable inputs and outputs. Both hardwired
inputs and outputs, and addressable inputs and outputs may be grouped together to form logical zones.
Wiring Styles
Initiating circuits are configured by default as Class B (Style B). They may be configured as Class A (Style D) as
described in System Configuration. This operation uses odd and even pairs of two-wire Class B (Style B) circuits to
make one four-wire Class A (Style D) circuit, thus cutting in half the number of available initiating circuits.
Indicating circuits (NACs) may be individually wired as Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) without affecting the
number of circuits available.
Addressable Loops may be configured system wide as Class B (Style 4) or Class A (Style 6). With the addition of
isolators, a Class A (Style 6) will become a Class A (Style 7).
