Mircom MIX-5351APA User manual

NOTE: In panels where this feature is not available the MIX-5351APA will
default to a 135°F fixed heat detector. MIX-5351RAPA will default to a
135°F fixed heat detector and rate-of-rise. MIX-5351HAPA will default to
a 190°F high temperature heat detector.
Intelligent programmable temperature sensors require compatible addressable
communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compat-
ible control panels only.
WIRING GUIDE
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code,
applicable local codes and the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire
gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color coded to limit
wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections will
prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.
1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) as shown in the wiring
diagram. (See Figure 2.)
2. Set the desired address on the rotary dial switches. (See Figure 1.)
3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base
while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.
4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and
activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

CAN/ULC S530 listed for Heat Detectors
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system
installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au-
thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with CAN/ULC S524.
Before installing sensors, please read the system wiring and installation man-
ual thoroughly. This manual provides detailed information on sensor spac-
ing, placement, zoning, and special applications. Copies of these manuals are
available from Mircom.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Models MIX-5351APA, MIX-5351RAPA, and MIX-5351HAPA are field program-
mable intelligent sensors that use a state-of-the-art thermistor sensing circuit
for fast response. These sensors are designed to provide open area protection
with 50-foot spacing capability as approved by CAN/ULC S530. The intelligent
temperature sensor can be programmed as either a 135°F fixed temperature
sensor, a rate of rise and 135°F fixed temperature sensor or a 190°F high tem-
perature sensor through the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication.
Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory
(Part No. RA100ZA). Rotary dial switches are provided for setting the sensor's
address. (See Figure 1.)

Mircom panels offer different feature sets across different models. As a re-
sult, certain features of the Intelligent Programmable Temperature Sensors
may be available on some control panels, but not on others. MIX-5351APA,
MIX-5351RAPA, and MIX-5351HAPA support Advanced Protocol and CLIP
(Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode.
The possible features available if supported by the control panel include:
1. The sensor’s LEDs can operate in three ways—on, off, and blinking–and
they can be set to red, green, or amber. This is controlled by the panel.
2. The remote output may be synchronized to the LED operation or con-
trolled independent of the LEDs. Please refer to the operation manual for
the ULC listed control unit for specific operation of these models
3. Devices are point addressable up to 159 addresses.
4. The heat sensor operates as a programmable heat detector.

TAMPER RESISTANCE
Intelligent programmable temperature sensors include a tamper-resistant ca-
pability that prevents removal from the base without the use of a tool. Refer to
the base manual for details on making use of this capability.
TESTING
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Test-
ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with
CAN/ULC S536.
A. Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04 - optional)
1. Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test
area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test feature.
2. The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and
annunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
B. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)
1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold
the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to
the cover during testing.
2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the
detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the
power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
Detectors that fail these tests may need to be cleaned as described under
CLEANING and retested.
CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted
alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from
the sensing area.
3. Reinstall the detector.
4. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
5. Reconnect disabled circuits.
6. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
FM CLASSIFICATION
RTI ratings are for installations which must comply with FM 3210.
135°F Fixed RTI: FAST
Rate of Rise/135°F Fixed RTI: V2-FAST
