  • Page 62: Custom Timers And Intervals

    Custom Timers and Intervals This chapter describes how to create custom timers and intervals with the Configurator. Timers and intervals let you control when and for how long a certain operation takes place. For example, you can use a timer to delay a vent fan until the damper has had time to open, or to delay the activation of compressors so that they do not all activate at once and overload the system.

  • Page 66: Zone Latching

    Zone Latching “Latching” and “non-latching” refer to the behavior of an input. When a non-latching input initiates an alarm, the alarm stays active until the input goes back to normal status. In contrast, when a latching input initiates an alarm, the alarm stays active until the system is reset. With advanced logic, you can latch normally non-latching zones such as monitor, trouble, and non-latching supervisory zones.

  • Page 67: Creating A Zone Latching Sequence

    Zone Latching Creating a Zone Latching Sequence To create a zone latching sequence 1. Create an initiating device. This can be a monitor zone, input circuit, or a status such as All Call. 2. Create a non-latching zone such as a monitor zone. This will become a latching zone. 3.

  • Page 68: Relay Pulsing

    10.0 Relay Pulsing Relay pulsing refers to a configuration where a relay turns on (closes) and then turns off (opens) after a single switch press. An example of relay pulsing is the activation of a pre- recorded digital message with the first switch press, and then the deactivation of the message with the second switch press, simulating a maintained switch.

    12.4 Ground Fault Reporting The MMX system reports ground faults as required by UL, ULC, and FM. Secutron has enhanced ground fault reporting to aid the technician in identifying which lead of a pair of wires is in contact with the ground. To this end, the ground fault report on the panel includes information about polarity (positive or negative).

  • Page 101: Ground Fault Detection

    Cables • NAC circuits: The polarity of the ground fault is reversed in the panel report because in normal supervisory condition, the NAC circuits are driven in the opposite polarity. • Annunciator and network connections that use electrical industry standard RS- 485 connections: The panel reports a ground fault on either lead of these connections as negative.

  • Page 106: Mass Notification System Introduction

    14.0 Mass Notification System Introduction The MMX Mass Notification System (MNS) allows announcements and notifications outside of regular fire announcements. For example, MNS can be used for weather warnings or toxic chemical alerts, and these announcements have a higher priority than fire announcements. The fire control system can also override the MNS.

  • Page 107: Conflicts With Virtual Zones

    Mass Notification System Introduction Even though the MNS has a fire monitoring component, it cannot control fire devices. Governing bodies such as UL/ULC require that MNS and fire control systems be grouped separately in the software. The input and output devices for fire and MNS must be in different zones and these zones must be in different groups.
  • Page 108 Mass Notification System Introduction To set priority for a zone or a switch 1. In the Configurator, double-click in the Priority column for the zone or switch. 2. Click a priority in the pulldown menu. This number is the priority given to digital messages that are correlated with this zone or switch.

  • Page 109: Autonomous Control Unit And Local Operating Consoles

    15.0 Autonomous Control Unit and Local Operating Consoles The Autonomous Control Unit (ACU) and the MMX Local Operating Consoles (MMX-LOCs) connect to the MMX Mass Notification System (MNS) remotely. The MNS uses the ACU and the MMX-LOCs to broadcast live announcements and pre-recorded digital messages to multiple locations in a building.

  • Page 110: Figure 68 Acu And Loc Configuration

    Autonomous Control Unit and Local Operating Consoles For example, a priority of 10% assigned to a zone switch on the ACU’s IPS switch adder module has a higher priority than a priority of 90% assigned to a zone correlated to the input module used by the MMX-LOC.

  • Page 111: Acu Operation

    Autonomous Control Unit and Local Operating Consoles Figure 69 Zone Priorities 15.4 ACU Operation To broadcast a pre-recorded digital message: • Press a button on the selector with the appropriate message. Buttons should be labelled to indicate the content of the message. The message will be broadcasted and will loop continuously until the system is reset or a higher priority operation is performed.
