2General Introduction
2.1 Purpose of the MX 16 controller
This controller is intended for the continuous measurement and control of the gases present in
the atmosphere.
Figure 1: MX 16 and examples of the modules
The system primarily comprises :
•a MX 16 ,
•one analog or digital detector.
The MX 16 instantly handles the measurements of detector. As soon as the measurements reach
the configured thresholds, the internal buzzer and the LED indicators go off. At the same time,
the corresponding relays are activated to drive the additional actions programmed by the
user.The MX 16 controller is programmed by using the COM 16 configuration software.Figure
2 presents a configuration example.

2.2 The different Versions
The MX 16 controller is available in Analog and Digital versions, configurable with COM 16 :
The MX 16 does not have an input for Wheatstone bridge sensors ( Wheatstone
bridge version ).
The MX16 does not manage MX 32 and MX 43 module as 8 analog input
(AIM), 4 or 8 relais modules (ROM), 16 logic inputs (LIM) and 4 analog outputs.
Figure 3: MX 16
The following table details the different possible configurations depending on the controller’s
version. On each line, it is possible to connect 4-20mA analog detectors or digital addressable
modules.
