  • Page 3 Chapter 1 The Fundamentals of Smoke Control One of the most hazardous situations that you can face in a building is smoke. While fires themselves are often damaging, it is smoke that can cause the most injuries. For example, at the World Trade Towers in February 1993, over 1,000 were injured by the smoke that resulted from the fire.

  • Page 33 Infinity Smoke Control System Components TCX840 Series Controllers The TCX840 series includes the TCX840, TCX843, TCX845, TCX846 controllers. The TCX840 series controllers are used to control small pieces of equipment that require fewer I/O points than an SCX920S, such as VAV boxes or stairwell fans. The TCX840 series communicates with the CX9200, as well as other Infinet controllers, via the Infinet network.
  • Page 34 Infinity Smoke Control System Components TCX850 Series Controllers The TCX850 series includes the TCX850, TCX851, TCX852, TCX853, and TCX855 controllers.

General Information The CX9200 communicates with the Q-Card via an RS-232 port. The Andover Data Interface firmware allows the CX9200 to control the state of the LEDs and read the state of the switches on the FSCS.
  • Page 184 The FSCS will transmit a ! character every time it receives a carriage return. This allows the CX9200 to supervise the RS-232 connection and verify that it is communicating properly with the FSCS. Infinity Smoke Control Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com...
  • Page 185 In order to ensure that LEDs are updated after a power failure or after an interruption of the communications link, the LEDs should be refreshed frequently by the CX9200. Therefore, Andover Controls recommends using the block formatted command and updating all of the LEDs on a regular basis.
