Mimic panels require Loop Explorer version 4.9 or above for configuration. The modular nature of Syncro Matrix Mimic panels, allows mimics with up to 500 indicators to be realised very simply and with the ability to add, remove or change the position of indicators with no wiring necessary by a unique method of flexible light pipes.
4. Specifications The information in the table below is for the standard range of Syncro Matrix Mimics with up to 56 LEDs in the standard 385mm X 520mm enclosure. Some details are common to all models of Syncro Matrix Mimics.
Syncro fire alarm control panel. Syncro Matrix mimic panels with a built in power supply require a 230V mains supply and a two wire data connection to the Syncro fire alarm control panel. The mains and data cables should be segregated by a distance of at least 50mm.
7. Addressing Each of the LED driver boards in the Syncro Matrix Mimic must be allocated a unique address number between 1 and 32. These addresses must be different to any other boards or Syncro View repeater panels connected to the Syncro panel RS485 transmission line.
SWITCH POSITIONS 8. Power requirements Versions of the Syncro Matrix Mimic without a power supply and battery back up facility, need 24V DC power from a suitable, EN54-4 approved battery backed power source. This must be sufficiently rated to provide power for the maximum number of LEDs and with batteries of a suitable size to provide power for the standby period required.
“Ground floor” etc and the way in which the LEDs behave can also be selected to suit the application. Four different modes of operation can be chosen here. Man-1121 Syncro Matrix Mimic 05 Page 9 of 15 www.acornfiresecurity.com...

When further 16 way mimic boards are added, these will also be allocated to zones 9 to 24 and will need to be configured to the correct zones. The simplest way to do this is to use Zone Manager in the Loop Explorer programme. Man-1121 Syncro Matrix Mimic 05 Page 12 of 15 www.acornfiresecurity.com...
