Optical fiber requirement: Multimode, 62.5 µm/125µm with a maximum loss of 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm wavelength of light. Senstar recommends breakout style of cable with each fiber individually enclosed in aramid yarn and a 2 mm elastomer jacket. An approved cable type is from Optical Cable Corp. (800) 622-7711 www.occfiber.com, part numbers: BX02-070D-WLS/900-OFNR for 2 fibers in cable, BX04-080D-WLS/900-OFNR* for 4 fibers in cable.

(USB to fiber/422 converters). The supported sensors include fence sensors FlexPS, FlexZone-4, Senstar LM100, plus the UltraWave microwave sensor, and the UltraLink I/O processor. Refer to the appropriate product manuals for installation and configuration details for specific Silver Network based devices.
48 VDC Network Power supply. Alarm data communications can be over RS-422 wiring or fiber optic cable (single-mode or multi-mode). The MX-7000 supports only the Silver Network loop configuration. Go to the Senstar website (www.senstar.com) to request copies of the Silver device Product Guides.
The UltraLink I/O processor accepts up to 6 dry contact inputs. These inputs are mapped to the MX-7000 display zones as follows: UltraLink I/O processor UltraLink Input/State MX-7000 XPO zone MX-7000 display state P1 Alarm Alarm P1 Tamper Tamper P3 Alarm or Tamper Trouble P5 Alarm Alarm...

Silver Device Upgrades of Existing FPS Systems Here are some points to keep in mind when replacing your perimeter devices with Silver devices. • The FlexPS sensor can use existing MEX sensor cable. However, new Silver Network data cable must be deployed to the processor. •...
Section 5 Operator Interface The MX-7000 annunciates alarms audibly and visually, provides control of each zone, allows listening to each zone, and provides an event record (digital if Alarm Record Keeping System-ARKS is installed, and hardcopy if a parallel printer is connected). In host mode the MX-7000 serves as an interface between the MX network of security devices, and a Psycon or other host alarm display and control system.

Video Switcher • Silver Network devices (FlexPS, FlexZone-4, Senstar LM100, UltraWave, UltraLink I/O) The MX-7000 comes in either rack-mount or desktop option. Desktop mounting is typically used to provide operator access and control. Rack-mounting is generally used in situations where the MX-7000 is serving as an interface to another display and control system.
Transformer setup (120 V/220 VAC input) The MX-7000 unit can be powered from either 120 volt 60 Hz or 220 volt 50 Hz power using the MX series power supply (p/n 02-190008). The unit is wired at the factory for 120 volt operation (see Figure 20).
From power supply transformer 24 VDC series connection 12 VDC Battery 12 VDC Battery NOTE: The battery must have sufficient capacity to power the MX-7000 and its connected sensors to meet the runtime specification ( site-specific) Figure 21 MX-7000 backup battery connections Connections to field equipment All field connections to the MX-7000 are made via the plug-in connectors on the rear panel (see Figures 22 and 23).
MXF-7500 fiber optic loop card fiber optic transponder fiber optic transponder to next transponder to next transponder Figure 23 Fiber loop connections Data/audio connections A typical FPS-5 installation requires a pair of multimode fibers looped through all FPS-5 and SAFT processors (up to 30 transponders per fiber optic loop) and returning to the MXF-7500.
If the problem continues, replace the processor with another. If the problem still exists, and there is more than one loop card, try another loop card. If the problem remains, contact Senstar Customer Service for assistance.

Section 7 MX-7000 Setup A complete security system requires that the MX-7000 Multiplex Control Center be setup to work with the configuration of installed transponders and sensors. Since the layout and requirements of each facility are different, each installation requires some site-specific setup. It is recommended that all initial setup, adjustments and testing be accomplished in your shop.
Figure 27 Setup screen Perform the initial MX-7000 system setup in this sequence: 1. Calibrate display. 2. Set system clock. 3. Change all zones (globally define certain settings for all zones). 4. Zone configuration (setup each zone at your site) 5.
5. Identify the transponder’s address (1 to 10 for copper loop, 1 to 30 for fiber loop and Silver loop). 6. Identify the transponder zone 1 or 2. For Silver devices FlexZone-4 and Senstar LM100 zones 1, 2, 3. or 4 and for UltraWave only zone 1.
12. For EDAPT zones change the EDAPT count if desired and set separate tampers for processors so configured. Silver Network devices do not have EDAPT capability. 13. Select Next Zone and continue until all zones have been reviewed and configured, as required. Port configuration Use the Port configuration function to setup the MX-7000 serial ports and parallel printer port.
Diagnose comm faults Select Diagnose comm faults to troubleshoot network communication errors on the MX loops. A transponder display will be shown for the loop. Communications status is indicated by color: OK is light green, magenta indicates fail. Dark green indicates good comms to a device that has not been defined, or for a Silver loop device that is defined incorrectly.
Acknowledge all Use the Acknowledge all function to acknowledge all unacknowledged alarms at once. 1. Select Acknowledge all. 2. Select Yes. Load Software Use the Load Software function to load software packages to the MX-7000. The current version of software will be displayed. 1.
Section 8 Network Connections NOTE: This section uses the term MX to refer to both MX-7000 and DCU (Data Collection Unit) devices. The following instructions apply to both devices. Connect the MX to a network bridge or switch port with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack on the MX-7000 back panel (see Figure 24).
Software Upgrades over an IP connection using DCUFinder.jar Software prior to version 121 must be upgraded using DCUFinder.jar java application. The process requires that the network PC has Java installed as well as the DCU Finder (Java application), and the MX upgrade package.
Software Upgrades over an IP connection using a web browser Software versions 121 and later can be upgraded using the MX web page. 1. Apply power to the MX and wait until it fully boots (status LED D17 is flashing). 2.
Section 9 Appendix A Multiplex copper loop power distribution calculations The MX-7000 can supply the power for its connected FPS2-2M processors. However, supplying the power to the distributed field units from a central location causes a voltage drop in the power cable due to the distances involved in a perimeter protection system.
The voltage drop between the farthest cable distance XPO and next XPO (XPO2) is calculated using a current of 30 mA through the resistance of the cable (Rc). If there is 2,000 ft. (Dc1) of power wires between the two processors then: Vc1 = 30 mA x 14 x Dc1 Vc1 = 0.03 x 14 x 2 Vc1 = 0.84 V...
