1.0 Operation and Programming Concepts

1.1 Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the FX-2200's features and supported devices.

1.2 General Information

Warnings: Before Programming
1. All applicable codes and standards should be considered when programming the Control
2. The Control Unit continues to monitor input circuits and devices and acts according to the
3. Loading a new database erases the current database before loading the new database. If
4. The database internal revision number included must match the number required by the
5. The database must be completely loaded for it to be considered valid. The program keeps
Downloadable Database
The panel uses a downloaded database for input circuit programming. This database includes the
addressable devices on-line, and the Zone LEDs, Bells, Functions Relays and Control Modules
activated by addressable devices. This database is created and downloaded from an IBM
compatible computer using the Mircom Programming Interface (MPI) program. Refer to the
Mircom Programming Interface Database Editor for instructions on downloading the database.

recorded by those units that are normally communicating with the panel.

1.3 Networks

General
The FX-2200 can be incorporated into a network including MGD-2944 annunciators. Though up to
254 panels and annunciators can be supported by the network, such a network would probably be
too large to properly maintain. The network can be setup for single building or multiple building
operation.

condition disables the panel until a correct FX2 program is loaded.

the panel until a valid database load is done.
All communications are stopped during the database load. This causes a trouble to be
