www.acornfiresecurity.com 1 Introduction The Mxp-536 Peripheral Zone Card, on-board I/O module, is an internal peripheral for use with the Mx-5000 range of fire alarm control panels Each card provides monitoring of up to 8 Radial, or 4 Loop, conventional zone circuits. Cards are protocol Independent.
Each card connected to the 485 Communication Line must have its own address. This address should be set so that it matches the corresponding card within the Advanced PC Config Tool design. Configuration Defaults: Earth Monitor Disabled: This is the required condition if the card is expected to share a ground plane with the parent fire Panel, or any other card which also provides earth monitoring capabilities.
Peripheral Bus Mode: The card requires an Mx5000 Fire Panel in order to operate. In this mode the card provides maximum flexibility, with the ability to configure each zone independently via the Advanced Configuration tool. No need to fit EOLs (or loop wiring if running in Class A) on unused zones; unused zones are disabled by the Fire Panel to reduce current drain.

Normal Devices using standard bases wired in a Loop (no EOL required) or… Devices using standard bases with an EOL Resistance Devices using Shottkey diode bases and an Advanced Active EOL module. Value represents the maximum number of devices (+1) that can be lost before zone evaluation is compromised.

Unlike most peripheral devices the PC1124 is represented twice in the “Device Selector”…...
www.acornfiresecurity.com 3.3 Input Configuration Point Options for Fire Action Point Options for Non-Fire Actions Input configuration is performed along the same line as configuring any loop device. Setting the “Input Action” to “No Action” has the following impact: Input is disabled at the hardware end (overall power consumption is reduced) End of Line resistors are not required for unused inputs.

Observe anti-static precautions at all times when handling printed circuit boards. Wear an anti-static earth strap connected to ATTENTION OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING...
