FleX-Net Installation and Operation Manual Connect the first QAZT-5302DS Network Firefighters’ Telephone Selector panel to the master telephone by connecting the Ribbon In cable into P2 on the QMT-5302N/NV Master Telephone. Ribbon Out cable to the Ribbon In of the next QAZT-5302DS or P1 of the next display panel (up to six total). See diagram below. QAZT-5302DS can be used as a telephone or paging selector panel by installing a jumper, see diagram below.
Telephone Operation Telephone Operation 1. When any telephone zone rings (the local buzzer sounds intermittently, and the green zone LED and Incoming Call LED flash) press that zone's button (on the selector panel QAZT-5302DS) once to answer. Once any one zone has been answered, calls from any other zone will cause that zone's green LED and the Incoming Call LED at the master telephone to flash and the buzzer will sound.

IMPORTANT NOTICE The main AC branch circuit connection for Fire Alarm Control Unit must provide a dedicated continuous power without provision of any disconnect devices.
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix I: FXMNS Used as a Mass Notification System (ACU) The MNS portion of a complete Mircom FleX-Net Network Fire Alarm system consists of a BBX-FXMNS Enclosure (see Node 2 in figure below). The BBX-FXMNS includes a RAXN-LCD Annunciator which is designated an ACU (Autonomous Control Unit) and a Master Microphone to provide emergency audio.
FleX-Net Installation and Operation Manual Configuration for Mass Notification There are two groups that can be created for the nodes; one group is the fire/central control and the second is mass notification. In order to have this distinction, all zones have to be assigned a “Zone Priority”. Priority can be high, low, normal or a percentage of + or - increments of 5.
