AMX5000
Aspirating smoke detector
From production number 060608 and SW version 01.02.01
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector performs the task of
taking continuous air samples via one or two sampling pipe net-
works from a monitored area and feeding the samples to one
or two smoke sensors.
The AMX5000 consists of the detector housing and one or two
sampling pipe tube networks. The sampling pipes have several
sampling holes whose size is such that each hole draws the
same amount of air. The sampling pipes may be I-, U-, T-, H-,
or E-shaped. The sampling pipes are usually symmetrically de-
signed. Asymmetrical sampling pipe tube networkscan also be
implemented using the “HELIOS PipeCalc” calculation soft-
ware.

Integrated in the detector housing is a high-speed fan which, in
conjunction with the sampling pipe, ensures uninterrupted air
supply to the detector housing. Airflow monitoring detects any
block-ages or breaks in each of the sampling pipe networks.
The AMX5000 is available in four versions:
• AMX5001 for 1 sampling tube, and 1 smoke sensor
without smoke level indicator;
• AMX5002 for 2 sampling tubes, and 2 smoke sensors
without smoke level indicator;
• AMX5101 for 1 sampling tub
e, and 1 smoke sens or
with smoke level indicator;
• AMX5102 for 2 sampling tubes, and 2 smoke sensors
with smoke level indicator.
The AMX5000 can be equipped with the following smoke sen-
sor types:
• OMX5005 Sensitivity range 0.5%/m to 10%/m
(0.15%/ft to 3.15%/ft)
• OMX5010 Sensitivity range 0.1%/m to 10%/m
(0.03%/ft to 3.15%/ft)
• OMX5020 Sensitivity range 0.02%/m to 10%/m
(0.006%/ft to 3.15%/ft)
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector has four slots for ex-
pansion modules. The following modules can be added:
• KMX5005 RK Relay Interface Module with 5 relays (max.
2 units);
• MMX5005 Memory module
• Other In preparation (interface module)
The AMX5000 can be linked to a higher level FACP by means
of relays.
The AMX5000 can be connected to a fire alarm system by
using potential free contacts.
Integration in the System FMZ5000 Loop Ap is possible by mo-
dules. Displaying status and control of the AMX device can
thus be performed directly from the FACP.

A further expansion option is the KMX5005 RK Relay Interface
Module. This module enables the availability of all three pre-si-
gnal levels as well as the states “smoke sensor dirty” and “LS-
Ü blockage” as relay contacts. The relays are also freely confi-
gurable via the HELIOS Config configuration software.
The MMX5005 Memory module serves to record operating data .
The AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector can be used for:
•
Equipment monitoring: EDP systems, electrical distributors,
switch cabinets, etc.
•
Space surveillance: EDP rooms, clean rooms, warehouses,
high-rack storage buildings, hollow floors, protection of cul-
tural objects, transformer stations, prison cells, etc.
The AMX5000 is also deployed in areas where conventional
point type detectors are used. The local provisions and regula-
tions must be observed from case to case.
The response behavior of the AMX5000 has been tested in
compliance with EN 54-20, Class A, B and C (or NFPA 72).
When setting up AMX5000 fire alarm systems, the in-
formation and specifications in “Technical Descripti-
on AMX5000” must be observed and adhered to.
This includes among others:
•
General Section 1
• Planning Section 4
• Mounting Section 5
• Installation Section 6
• Commissioning Section 7
Opening the detector housing
Press the rotary snap locks firmly with the screwdri-
ver (min. No. 5) toward the housing base and then
turn 90°. The position of the lock slit shows the cur-
rent state:
•
approx. 45° angled toward detector housing corne r
= closed
•
approx. 45° angled toward detector housing edge
= open
The rotary snap locks must snap into place.
The housing cover (control unit) is connected to the Main Board
by a flat cable. Make sure that when the housing cover is lifted
away the flat cable does not become damaged.
