Cautions &
Warnings
100V a.c. audio line wiring is defined as LV
Telecommunications circuits and is subject to the
Australian Standard AS/ACIF S009:2006.
Ensure that this wiring is appropriately separated and
insulated from LV power wiring, ELV and other
customer cabling such as detection and control
circuits.
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference, in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
Some of the operation of the MX1 as described in this
manual is dependent on the site-specific configuration
performed by the installer. If the configuration is non-
standard, then operation may differ from this manual and
compliance to local Standards may be invalidated.
The MX1 has facilities to protect against unauthorised use
of operator controls by means of Access Levels. The
configuration of your system may result in Access Levels
that differ in some respects from this manual.
Except where otherwise stated, this manual refers to MX1
Controller firmware version 1.7.
Information provided in this manual may remain valid for
subsequent versions of Controller firmware. However if a
different version of firmware is installed, a more appropriate
version of this manual may be required.

Introduction

Page 23 October 2018 Issue 1.73
1-2
This manual covers the operations and displays available on the MX1’s
front panel as well as basic installation and wiring information.
It also applies to users of the Remote Fire Brigade Panel connected to
the MX1.
This manual is intended for use by firefighters, building owners and
managers, and service staff. It assumes that the reader has a basic
knowledge of automatic fire alarm systems.
The topics in this manual are generally arranged in decreasing order of
urgency. Firefighter use of the Fire Brigade Panel (f.b.p.) is shown inside
the front page, with a detailed section on dealing with alarms in Chapter
2.
This is followed by less urgent actions, dealing with Faults and Disables,
Point and Zone Status Recalls, Testing, and System Status Recall,
followed by a description of error messages, fault finding, and compatible
devices, batteries etc.
To obtain continued high-reliability operation from the MX1 it is
necessary to have it regularly tested and maintained by trained and
qualified service-company personnel.
Australian Standard AS 1851 details the requirements for the testing and
maintenance of fire alarm systems, and as a minimum specifies monthly,
6-monthly and 5-yearly test plans. It also specifies the procedures to be
followed if critical or non-critical defects are discovered. The MX1-Au
Service Manual (LT0440) contains a guide to the procedures for testing
the MX1 to AS 1851.
If changes are required to the site-specific configuration of the MX1 (for
example, if new detectors are required because of building alterations)
then this work must be carried out by a suitably trained and qualified fire-
alarm service person and the “as-installed”information updated including
a record of the new site-specific configuration version. All system
changes must be fully tested and commissioning sheets completed (refer
AS 1670.1). The new site-specific configuration should be compared
against the previous version to ensure that there have been no
unintentional changes.
A description of nuisance alarms and actions that can be carried out to
help reduce the incidence of them is given in “Nuisance Alarms” on page
1-17.
