Listed Fire Alarm Control Panel under Standard ULC-S527 (Standard for Control Units for Fire
Alarm Systems) and ULC/ORD-C693-1994 (Central Station Fire Protective Signalling Systems
and Services). These Communicators should be installed in accordance with this manual; the
Canadian / Provincial / Local Electrical Code; and/or the local Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ).
1.1.1 Industry Canada Notice
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alteration made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection
that the Earth Ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic
water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This is necessary both for proper
operation and for protection.
1.1.2 Notice for all FX-350 Series Built-in UDACTs Sold in the U.S.A.
Mircom's FX-350 SERIES BUILT-IN UDACT Digital Communicator described in this manual
is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (ULI) for use in slave application in conjunction with
a Listed Fire Alarm Control Panel under Standard 864 (Control Units for Fire Protective
Signalling Systems). These Communicators comply with the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) performance requirements for UDACTs and should be installed in
accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 4 (Supervising Station Fire Alarm System). These
Communicators should be installed in accordance with this manual; the National Electrical
Code (NFPA 70); and/or the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
1.1.3 FCC Notice
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
ACTA. On the telco transformer of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:1M8AL02BFX350. If requested, this number
Attention: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate
Notes: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist
of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
The Label Identification Number for this product is US:1M8AL02BFX350. The
02B represents the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 02B is a REN of 0.2B). For
earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

Industry Canada and FCC Notice
must be provided to the telephone company. This equipment is capable of seizing the line.
This capability is provided in the hardware.
Type of Service: The Communicator is designed to be used on standard device telephone
lines. It connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ-11C
(or USOC FJ45S). Connection to telephone company provided coin service (central office
implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
Telephone Company Procedures: The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with
the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make
changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your
service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in
writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request
information from you concerning the equipment which you have connected to your telephone
line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the
ringer equivalence number (REN); both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The
sum of all of the REN’s on your telephone lines should be less than five in order to assure
proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable
on a given line.
If Problems Arise: If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should
immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone
network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service.
When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not
feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your phone line. In the
event repairs are ever needed on the Communicator, they should be performed by Mircom
Technologies Ltd. or an authorized representative of Mircom Technologies Ltd. For information
contact Mircom Technologies Ltd. at the address and phone numbers shown on the back page
of this document.

Introduction
2.0 Introduction
Mircom’s FX-350 Series Analog/Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel provides a loop for
60,126 or three loops for 378 input and output devices, four supervised Class B or A (Style Y
or Z) indicating circuits, a full range of auxiliary power supplies, and extensive common control
features via its integrated LCD display and push button console. Many of its features are fully
configurable utilizing the built-in configuration capability via the front panel display and
switches. The panels are available with or without an optional, integrated dialer/modem
(except the FX-353 version which always includes the dialer/modem), and is available (FX-
351 and FX-353 - in a larger enclosure) with an internal LED display for up to 64 points (32
standard). Optional modules include Polarity Reversal and City Tie, RAX-332 LED Display
Adder, and Class A Converter for indicating circuits. Semi-flush or surface mountable
enclosures can be used for retrofits and on new installations. This manual covers the following
panels:
2.1 Features
•The FX-350 panels support a loop of 60 or 126 analog devices and up to 3 loops of 378
analog devices, including thermal, ion, photo detectors, and contact input and output
devices. Drift compensation and Auto Test features are provided for analog devices.
•Four Power Limited Class B (Style Y) indicating circuits. Each indicating circuit may be
configured as Class A (Style Z) using an output Class A converter adder module. Each
indicating circuit may be configured as silenceable signal, non-silenceable signal,
silenceable strobes, non-silenceable strobes, or relay output. The audible signal may be
Steady, Temporal Code, California Code, or March Time. The system provides the
necessary protocols to sync strobes from major manufacturers.
•Two-stage, alarm verification, and waterflow retard operations available.
•Configurable Signal Silence Inhibit, Auto Signal Silence, Two-Stage Operation, and
One-Man Walk Test. For Canadian installations, disable Auto Signal Silence.
•Subsequent Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble operation.
Note: Installation of the FX-350 Series Fire Alarm Control panel should be in
accordance with Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, ULC-S524 installation of Fire
Alarm System, National Electrical Code NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. Final
acceptance subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

Conventions
3.0 Conventions
3.1 Circuits
Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, and
common alarm, supervisory, and trouble relay outputs.
3.2 Zone/Group
Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit.
Groups are used extensively in the FX-350 to facilitate annunciation of multiple input and
output points on the 32 (up to 64) LED display and to facilitate bypassing of inputs and
outputs.
3.3 Display Points
The FX-350 provides an LCD display to annunciate the status of the system and connected
devices. The FX-351 and FX-353 also provides up to 64 LED display points on the panel front
in addition to the LCD display. Display points may be assigned to LEDs during configuration to
groups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for every display point: one single color
(amber) and one dual color (red/amber).
3.4 Wiring Styles
The analog loop can be connected in Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style D) configurations.
Changing the indicating circuits to Class A requires an OCAC-304 adder board which will
convert four indicating zones from Class B (Style Y) circuits to Class A (Style Z). This is done
without reducing the number of circuits.
Note: The Model FX-350-60-R and FX-350-60DR panels DO NOT recognize any
devices with addresses higher than 60.
