Removing Line Cards
If you need to remove a card:
1. If you will not be replacing the line card or will be replacing it with a different type of line card (for
example, replacing an LC1 with an LC3), enter the programming mode to clear the line card from the
system. (See Section 5.5 for programming procedure.)
2. While holding the front plate, unscrew the two front plate retaining screws located on the front of the
panel. (See Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
3. Open the MX8000's front panel by pulling the left side of the front plate slightly forward and then to the
left to remove it from the receiver.
4. With the front panel removed, you will see that there are 12 slots for line cards.
5. Locate the Line Card that you wish to remove.
6. Unplug the telephone line(s). (See Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7.)
7. From the front side of the receiver pull the line card straight back. This will pull the card free from the
connector.
8. When the card is free, slide it carefully out of the receiver.
Note: If replacing a line card with a new one see Section 3.7 to install the new line card.
9. Restart the receiver in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 4.6.7.
10. Close the MX8000's front panel and tighten the front plate retaining screws to hold the front plate in
place.

Telephone Line Connection
See Figure 3–6 for the location of the phone line inputs. Connections to the MX8000 phone jacks are made
with a standard 7-foot phone cord.
Use the following procedure to connect phone lines to the MX8000-LC1 or MX8000–LC3 line cards:
1. While holding the front plate, unscrew the two front plate retaining screws located on the front of the
panel. (See Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screws locations.)
2. Open the MX8000's front panel by pulling the left side of the front plate slightly forward and then to the
left to remove it from the receiver.
3. From the back side of the receiver insert the telephone line(s) through the corresponding slot for the
desired line card. (See Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7 for phone line slot locations.)
4. Gently push them all the way through to the front side of the receiver.
5. Plug the RJ-11 phone connector(s) into the connector(s) on the line card. (See Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–
7.)
Note: Use the tie wrap (provided with each line card) on the tie wrap holder to add strain relief to the
telephone lines. See Figure 3–3.
6. Replace the front panel of the MX8000 receiver by tightening the front plate retaining screws. (See
Figure 3–1 for front plate retaining screws locations.)
3.10 Parallel Printer Connection
The MX8000 Receiver connects to a UL Fire Protection Services approved dot matrix parallel printer such as
the Okidata Microline 320 for UL applications. To connect the printer to the MX8000 receiver follow these
steps:
• • • •
Notes:
For UL installations, the printer must be installed in the same room as the MX8000.
• • • •
For FM installations, the printer or any automation system connection must be within 20 ft. (6m) of
the MX8000 and in the same room as the MX8000. The Okidata Microline 320 is the only FM
approved printer for use with the MX8000.
1. Connect the standard parallel printer cable to the parallel printer port on the back of the MX8000
receiver. (See Figure 3–8.)
2. Connect the other end to the printer's parallel port.
Note: Make sure that printer power is turned off.
