1.0 FCC Notice
1.1 Notice for all MR-400 Series Built-in UDACTs Sold in the U.S.A.
Secutron’s MR-400 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 (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).
1.2 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:6OTAL01BMR3500. If requested, this
number 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
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:6OTAL01BMR3500. The
01B represents the REN without a decimal point (for example, 01B is a REN of
0.1B).

8
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. For device repairs or
replacements, please visit our RMA Request page to submit your request.

2.0 Introduction
This document provides information for the successful installation and operation of the MR-
400 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
2.1 The MR-400 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel
Secutron’s MR-400 Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel provides the following:
• Addressable Protocol with one addressable (SLC) loop with a maximum of 240
Addressable devices (MRI-4000 series) in total.
• Compatible with Addressable devices (MRI-4000 series).
• Compatible with conventional detectors using Addressable MRI-4042 Analog Interface
(Conventional Zone) module; refer to document LT-1023SEC for compatible
conventional detectors.
• Four Power Limited Class B or Class A NAC circuits rated at 1.5A each, 5.0A total.
• NAC circuits 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.
•Supports sync strobe protocols from major manufacturers.
• Supports Addressable 400 Series NAC devices.
• Alarm verification and positive alarm sequence operations.
• Configurable Signal Silence Inhibit, Auto Signal Silence, and One-Man Walk Test.
• Subsequent Alarm, Supervisory, Monitor and Trouble operation.
• Relay Contacts for Common Alarm, Common Supervisory and Common Trouble all non-
disconnectable and Auxiliary Alarm Relay (disconnectable).
• Built-in Dialer.
2.1.1 Optional Items
• Supports up to 2 RAX-1048TZDS Display Adder Modules.
• Semi-flush or surface mountable enclosures for retrofits and new installations.
Note: Installation of the MR-400 Addressable Fire Alarm Control panel should be in
accordance with National Electrical Code NFPA 70 and NFPA 72. Final
acceptance subject to the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
All MGC MIX-4000 Series Detectors are not FM Approved

2.2 General Notes
Circuits
Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, and
common alarm, supervisory, and trouble relay outputs.
Zone/Group
Is a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit. The
MR-400 uses zones to facilitate annunciation of multiple input and output points on the RAX-
1048TZDS (up to 96 points) and to facilitate the indication of bypass points.
Display Points
The MR-400 LCD display annunciates the status of the system and connected devices. There
are up to two (2) RAX-1048TZDS Display Adder Module Display points that may be configured
to assign LEDs to groups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for every display point; one
single color (yellow) and one dual color (red/yellow).
Wiring Styles
The addressable (SLC) loop can be configured system-wide as Class B or Class A . With the
addition of isolators, a Class A loop will become a Class X.

11

1. Group the incoming wires through the top of the enclosure. For easy identification and
neatness use a wire tie to group wires.
2. Be sure to connect a solid Earth Ground (from building system ground / to a cold water
pipe) to the Chassis Earth Ground Mounting Lug, and to connect the Earth Ground Wire
Lugs from the Main Chassis to the ground screw on the backbox.
