MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 Analog Loop Design Considerations ANALOGUE LOOP CONFIGURATION SELECTION 4.1.1 LINES & LOOPS The interface between the MXP and its addressable devices requires two wires. The MXP has two lines (“left” and “right”) which are designed to be connected in a loop. The LOOP configuration is generally preferred and indeed will often be mandatory for compliance with standards as discussed below.
Document: LT0273 MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Analog Loop Design Considerations ANALOGUE LOOP/LINE LAYOUTS 4.2.1 LINE MODE The MXP is designed to run in LOOP mode only. The dual line mode of the MPR is not supported. However a star configuration can be used, refer to section 4.2.3. 4.2.2 LOOP DESIGN WITH SHORT CIRCUIT ISOLATORS There are two main reasons for using isolator bases on the analogue loop.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 Analog Loop Design Considerations MX DETECTOR LOOP Figure 4.1 Loop with Isolator Bases Note 1: Although it is not essential to have Isolator Bases between the MXP and the first / last device on the loop, greater protection is provided by doing so. It is recommended that the cable between the MXP line terminals and the adjacent Isolator Bases should be kept as short as possible, and have no devices attached to it.
Document: LT0273 MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Analog Loop Design Considerations 4.2.3 STAR CONNECTION OF ANALOGUE LINES It is not always necessary to connect addressable systems as loops, especially if an existing conventional detector system is being converted to addressable detectors. As the existing detector zone cables probably already terminate at the main panel, it is possible to connect these in a star connection to the MXP as shown in Figure 4.2.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 Analog Loop Design Considerations NOISE CONSIDERATIONS Although the MXP loop has been designed for minimum electrical interference, it is still capable of both picking up and generating electrical interference. The longer the loop the greater the potential problems.
MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Current Consumption THEORY The MXP current consumption is considerably higher than that of the other responders (even higher than the MPR, in fact it can be considerably higher than the MPR depending on the sounder load).
Document: LT0273 MX4428 MXP Engineering /Technical Manual MXP Current Consumption It is of interest to recalculate the current consumption assuming for example the supply voltage is only 17.0V (the minimum operating voltage of the MXP). In this case the consumption is increased to 721mA. It can be seen that if the responder loop power wiring has too much resistance, the voltage to the responders is reduced by their current consumption, which results in them requiring even more current and compounding the problem.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Loop Filter Board EXPONENTIAL FILTER An “exponential filter” is used to smooth values received from all detector types and remove “noise”. Value Time This is a kind of moving average of recent samples, with the most recent samples given the most weighting.

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Loop Filter Board HEAT PROCESSING CONVERSION OF DETECTOR READING TO °C 9.3.1 The temperature readings from the detector (814H or the temperature element of an 814PH or 814CH) are returned from input AI1 of the MX ASIC. These are converted to °C according to the following table.
MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Loop Filter Board PHOTO PROCESSING 9.4.1 SMARTSENSE PROCESSING The smoke reading of the detector is returned as input AI0 from the device ASIC. Figure 9.2 shows a general view of the processing of the values received from the photoelectric sensor. It is of interest that the value is multiplied by a factor (between 1 and 4) depending on the factory calibration of the sensor, and again multiplied by a factor depending on the temperature rate of rise (when “enhanced”...

MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Loop Filter Board CO PROCESSING 9.5.1 CALIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION The CO reading of the detector is returned as input AI0 of the device ASIC. The CO readings are adjusted depending on a calibration factor set at the factory and stored in EEPROM.
Document: LT0273 MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Device Processing IONISATION PROCESSING The smoke reading of the detector is returned in two parts as inputs AI0 and AI1 of the device ASIC. In the MXP the average value of AI0 and AI1 is used for all calculations, so that all returned values to the MX4428 lie within the range of 0 –...

The shaded areas show the region of uncertainty.
Document: LT0273 MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Device Processing 9.8.4 SUPPLY MONITORING - DIM800 The DIM800 supply is monitored with input AI3 of the device ASIC. If the supply voltage is less than 18V, a SUPPLY FAIL fault is generated. (The threshold can be changed with parameter 3 if needed.) If the supply fails completely, a DIM800 with revision less than 10 will stop responding to polls and a NODE FAIL fault is generated.
MX4428 MXP Engineering / Technical Manual Document: LT0273 MXP Loop Filter Board Both short circuit faults and open circuit faults will be logged as SUPERVISION FAULT, and relay stuck faults will be logged as CONTROL CB FAIL. Only the first fault will be logged. When all relay faults go away, the event logged at the MX4428 will be NORMAL OFF or NORMAL ON as the case may be, regardless of the original fault logged.
