1.3 Formats Compatible with the MX8000
The MX8000 receiver is compatible with all ADEMCO UL Listed communicators.
Table 1–2 shows the formats that the MX8000 receiver can decode and the handshake frequency groups that
accommodate that format (see Section 5.5 for line device programming). Each line device can decode every
format listed below. Setting the handshake order only prioritizes the type of communication done by each
line device. Section 6 of this manual describes the formats in greater detail.
Important Note: When selecting a reporting format and using an automation computer, it is essential that
you check Table 8–2: Reporting Formats and Automation Protocol Support to verify that the reporting format
selected is supported by the automation protocol that will be used.
